The big divorce battle
Move over Madonna and Guy; there's a new couple at each other's throats. Mel Gibson's wife has filed for divorce weeks after the star was snapped with a mystery brunette on a beach. Since the couple have no prenuptial agreement, it is predicted that Robyn Gibson will be entitled to half of the actor's earnings during their 28-year marriage.
Mel is worth nearly $1bn (Dh3.7bn).
