Costner’s lawyers were trying to determine whether Baumgartner understood the prenuptial document she signed when she married Costner in 2004, while it seems clear that she’s trying to dispute that prenup.

But, Christine refused to answer the question directly, claiming she “didn’t understand what understanding meant”, which led to several hours of unanswered discussion… and the judge had had enough!
The amount of the actor’s legal fees around this one argument is said to be $15,000, and it’s Christine’s turn to pay!

The New York Jets had high hopes for their 2023-2024 season as talented quarterback Aaron Rodgers was added to their roster after many years with the Green Bay Packers.
However, an unfortunate accident occurred during the Jets’ season opener. The star QB was injured in the opening minutes of the game against the Buffalo Bills.
The incident resulted in a complete tear of Aaron’s Achilles tendon, as reported on the NFL’s official Instagram page. He’s out for the season.
“Not the way any of us wanted it to go, but we know the commitment you’ve made to this team will continue to impact us moving forward”, said the Jets organization following the announcement.
The series is also heavily impacted by the writers’ and actors’ strike currently raging in Hollywood, as the final four episodes of season 12 will only be filmed and broadcast once the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes have been resolved.

The story of Michael Oher and the Tuohy family, depicted in the 2009 film The Blind Side and starring Sandra Bullock, has made headlines in recent days as the former NFL star accuses his adoptive family of taking financial advantage of him.
Tuohy family lawyer responds to Michael Oher’s allegations:
“When we’re talking about a conservatorship, we’re not talking about high-profile Hollywood cases. We’re talking about a family trying to help someone in need…They treated him like a son…They don’t need his money.” pic.twitter.com/e47muxkLdL
But, while Michael Oher claims that the parents who were supposed to have adopted him would have instead taken advantage of him and his success via a guardianship contract, the family counters by claiming that Oher would have instead tried to extort $15 million from them just before these allegations were made public!
«The idea that the family ever sought to profit off Mr. Oher is not only offensive, it is transparently ridiculous.» says the lawyer representing the Tuohys.

«In reality, the Tuohys opened their home to Mr. Oher, offered him structure, support and, most of all, unconditional love. They have consistently treated him like a son and one of their three children. His response was to threaten them, including saying that he would plant a negative story about them in the press unless they paid him $15 million.» say the Tuohy’s lawyers.
According to Page Six, a source close to Bullock says she is absolutely distraught by the allegations and heartbroken.
«There was so much hard work put into the film that they all though was the truth and now that has been questioned, it just upsets Sandra to no end that a time in her life was so special, is now shadowed with a completely different perspective.» says a source close to the star.
This scandal comes at a very bad time for the star, who has just lost her longtime boyfriend Bryan Randall, who died after a tough battle with ALS.
Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl winner, newly retired from the NFL, joins a group of investors to acquire soccer club Birmingham City.
The greatest quarterback in soccer history is partnering with Knighthead Capital Management LLC, and will work directly with the team’s board of directors.
Although he admits to knowing little about soccer, he said he would get to work immediately.
Brady told fans: “I’m officially coming on board at Birmingham City Football Club.
“And maybe you’re asking ‘what do you know about English football, Tom?’
“Well, let’s just say that I’ve got a lot to learn.
“But I do know a few things about winning and I think they might translate pretty well.
“I know success starts with the work put in when the world is not watching. I know that a team is nothing without the city that shows up and stands behind it.
“I’ll see you at St Andrews soon – it’s time to get to work. Let’s go.”
Tom Brady thus follows in the footsteps of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who took over Wrexham, and invest in a soccer team.
