Up until now, we’ve only quipped about child support and prenups that assign dollar values to celebrity relationships based on net worth. As it turns out, net worth is a pretty unreliable metric in an industry where you could be a global superstar one day, and writing songs about pizza the next.
We’ve delayed a Bieb-centric post for far too long.
How can we possibly call ourselves Washington state’s leading legal experts on celebrity divorces and personal injuries if we’ve never dedicated an entire article to the Canadian manchild with 3x as many Twitter followers as his home country has residents?
This is the same “musician” who cut his signature toss-and-flip bangs and auctioned them for over $40,000. That’s not the type of fame we can ignore.
Divorce gets a pretty bum rap in Hollywood. Whether it's Ross “Divorso” Geller and his three marriages or Catherine Zeta-Jones’s “satirical” marriage-for-money scam in Intolerable Cruelty, movies and TV shows like to point to legal separation as an indicator of immaturity and unreliability.
She’s the youngest of all the Jackson siblings, her music has received over 500 award nominations, and she’s also got three secret marriages that ended in not-so-secret divorces.

American reality TV is a race to the bottom like nothing we’ve seen in human history. Think about that, there is actually a period of time we refer to as the Dark Ages, and it was still more sensible than anything on Fox’s Reality Channel.
For the worst of the worst, look no further than 2005’s Who’s Your Daddy, a reality show where adults who were adopted as children were introduced to eight men.
Earning a JD and becoming a celebrity aren’t quite as different as you might think. Both usually require that applicants pay their dues while flirting with homelessness, both place a heavy emphasis on monologuing, and both involve pretending to read manuscripts.
Like so many Hollywood stars, Broderick “Steve” Harvey had a long road to success, even weathering Hollywood’s right of passage: living out of a beat-up car in the ’80s.
