£6m

Such a gold digger

Amy Winehouse's ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil is demanding £6m (Dh36.3m) from the songstress for being the 'inspiration' behind her best-selling album, Back to Black. Yes, cheating on someone is apparently inspiration. According to reports, Fielder-Civil thinks "he was a big part of her success", because cheating on Winehouse resulted in a massive hit of an album.

In so much debt

Stephen Baldwin has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Alec's youngest brother claims to owe $2.3m (Dh8.4m) in debt: $1.2m on two mortgages, $1m in taxes, as well as credit card debt. Dear, oh dear.

What a bargain

50 Cent is reportedly desperate to unload his Connecticut home, which has been on the market for almost two years now. The original asking price was $18.5m (Dh68m). He's now dropped it to $10.9m.

Doing her bit
