In a move that would no doubt impress Rocky Balboa, Ellen Barkin has won a judgment in court against her former husband Ron Perelman. (Naturally, there may be a court appeal to this decision by Perelman, as stated in the article.)
The New York Post came up with a clever headline for this story and the following are two pull quotes from their article:
"A Manhattan judge has ordered the Revlon cosmetics tycoon to pay his ex-wife's movie-production company $4.3 million -- money he'd agreed to put into the startup before reneging on the deal after they broke up."
"Perelman reportedly pulled the plug on the relationship shortly before an escalation clause on their prenup was set to kick in."

I think the 2007 film "Oceans Thirteen" was the last film I saw that starred Ellen Barkin. I never saw "Tender Mercies" that Steve mentioned in his comment. I'll have to track that down and check it out. We'll eventually see how things go if this decision is appealed, etc.
