Now that the California Supreme Court has rejected shaken-down billionaire and alleged Radar investor Ron Burkle's bid to keep his divorce papers sealed, the press is free to dig into 1,200 pages of domestic bliss. Amongst the gems: ex-wife Janet says, "common for me to spend $15,000 at one time at Barneys, and my average monthly expense for clothing was at least $10,000 (a conservative estimate)." More disturbingly, Burkle seems to have spied on Janet, telling their daughter that he had footage of Janet sleeping with her boyfriend.
Unfortunately for Burkle, his Yucaipa Companies doesn't seem to be winning its bid for the McClatchy Co.'s Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News, so those are two more papers free to cover his hidden camera habit. But we'll always have Radar. Speaking of which: the new staff might want to de-bug the offices.

!["...This is a real paradox for me: My entire life I've been told I wasn't pretty enough. My entire life I was told by people that I was ugly, that I was too tall, that I was flat-chested, that I was this, that I was that. When I was a stripper I was never quite pretty enough. I was never one of the beautiful girls. I was never one of the top earners. Suddenly I achieve something in my life that is purely intellectual and purely creative, and I'm being told that it's because I'm pretty. To me that is the weirdest, most ironic thing ever. Like all of a sudden I'm attractive when it suits people's purposes. But in the past when I needed to be attractive I was ugly. So let's pick. Which is it?" — Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody [Minneapolis City Pages]](https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--ONS8aczB--/c_fill,fl_progressive,g_center,h_180,q_80,w_320/18s10utp0femfjpg.jpg)
