Gruesome reports are circulating that genetically blessed Hollywood couple Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green have decided to separate after eleven years together. The news broke yesterday evening that the beautiful couple have allegedly decided to go their separate ways following a ‘rocky patch’. “Megan has separated from Brian,” an insider revealed exclusively to Us Weekly. “They decided on it six months ago.” The supposedly now former couple have two children - both sons - Noah who is 2 and Bodhi who is just 18 months and are reportedly keen to remain civil for their sakes. “They’re on friendly terms for the sake of their kids,” the source said. “They just want to do their own things.” After meeting on the TV Show Hope & Faith in 2004, the pair were originally engaged back in 2009 however after three years, called it off after Brian commented that Megan was ‘too young’ at just 23. However, just 24 days later they rekindled their engagement and were hitched in Hawaii in June 2012. “I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life,” Brian said at the time. “It was the absolute perfect start to what we hope will be an amazing life together.“ Their reps are yet to comment on the news.

Robin Williams’ kids ask judge to toss wife’s estate claims
SAN FRANCISCO — In the latest court filing in the ongoing battle over Robin Williams’ estate, the late actor’s children say his wife is trying to increase her share of his estate at their expense. Zachary, Zelda and Cody Williams are asking a judge to dismiss a petition filed by Susan Williams. The December 2014 petition asked the court to exclude the contents of the Tiburon home that she shared with Williams from the jewelry, memorabilia and other items Williams said the children should have. The children in their Aug. 14 filing say the estate’s trustees have
determined the division of all of Williams’ personal property, and those decisions are final. They accuse Susan Williams of holding on to property that is theirs. They also say the trustees have arrived at a figure for a reserve fund for Susan Williams to cover the costs of the Tiburon home, but she wants a guaranteed income stream that she is not entitled to. “Petitioner is seeking to increase her share of the trust assets at the expense of the Williams children,” despite the trust’s clear language,” the children say in their filing. “She
cannot do so.” A call to Susan Williams’ attorney was not immediately returned. The two sides are set to appear in court Aug. 28. In court papers filed last month, Susan Williams said the trustees refused to explain how they calculated the amounts for her reserve fund, which were different from figures she arrived at. The trustees also don’t have absolute discretion over her reserve fund, so the court has a role to play in deciding matters, she said. She, however, characterized talks between the parties as “fruitful.” (ap)
Shannen Doherty’s lawsuit reveals actress has breast cancer
LOS ANGELES — Shannen Doherty is battling breast cancer that worsened during a lapse in her health insurance caused by her former business managers, the actress claimed in a lawsuit filed Wednesday. The former “Beverly Hills, 90210” star claims that her former business managers and accountants mismanaged her money and allowed her health insurance to lapse last year. Because of that, she said she didn’t go to the doctor until she had insurance and there was a delay in diagnosing her cancer, which will likely require more drastic treatments, including a possible mastectomy and chemotherapy. Doherty, 44, received the diagnosis in March and her doctors have said earlier treatment might have stopped its spread, the lawsuit states. An attorney for the accounting firm Tanner Mainstain Glynn & Johnson denied the company caused Doherty’s health insurance to lapse. “Tanner Mainstain is saddened to learn that Ms. Doherty is suffering from cancer and wishes her a full recovery,” the company’s
attorney, Randall J. Dean, wrote in a statement. “However, the claim that Tanner Mainstain caused her to be uninsured, prevented her from seeking medical care, or somehow contributed to her cancer is patently false. Tanner Mainstain will aggressively defend all of Ms. Doherty’s claims in court.” Doherty’s husband, photographer Kurt Iswarienko, also is suing the firm and its former partner, Steven D. Blatt, accusing them of mismanaging the couple’s money and leading to other financial troubles, including tax audits and liens. A phone message for Blatt was not immediately returned. The lawsuits do not specify how much damages Doherty and Iswarienko are seeking. Doherty has been unable to work since the diagnosis. “The spread of the cancer has caused (Doherty) severe emotional distress,” the lawsuit states. “The relationship between a business manager and its client is based on trust, in honesty and competence,” Doherty’s attorney, Devin McRae, wrote in a statement. “That trust was violated here, and we hope that the defendants will correct it in a responsible manner.” (ap)

Minister of Tourism must also keep Bali
DENPASAR - High impact of tourism development on natural ecosystem of Bali must be addressed by policy-oriented environmental protection. Minister of Tourism, Dr. Arief Yahya, as the policymaker in central government, chiefly in tourism field, is obliged to care for Bali. The minister may not only orientate in selling Bali. The target on the increase in tourist visits and investment in managing Bali tourism should be balanced with the commitment to maintain Balinese nature and culture. This opinion was expressed by the Head of the Fishermen Association of Indonesia (HNSI) of Bali Chapter, I Nengah Manumudita, Wednesday (Aug. 19). He criticized the policy of tourism management all this time that tends to sell and exploit Bali. Of the achievement in high profit and high investment, only a small portion can been joyed by Balinese people. Market-based tourism management eventually leads to damage to natural ecosystem in Bali. In fact, in the long
term the uncontrolled tourism growth will marginalized Balinese human as the buffer of Balinese culture. “Minister of Tourism should re-orient the policies in managing tourism in Bali. Exploitation of Bali’s nature is a form of ignorance in describing the Tri Hita Karana philosophy. Ideally, the minister has a moral responsibility to
uphold Bali and does not make Bali as the object of market,” he advised. He hoped the eco-based and Balinese culture-based tourism management can make Bali tourism sustainable. He reminded the Minister of Tourism of being more sensible in managing the aspirations of Balinese people as the buffer of Balinese culture. It is important to be cultivated so that the management of Bali tourism can benefit all components and provides guarantees for preservation of the integrity and balance of natural ecosystem of Bali. He said that the coastal-based tourism management has truly made tens of thousands of fishermen in Bali displaced. He said that Balinese fishermen reaching almost 30,000 people are now recessive due to investment. As an impact, the fishermen— having a moral, cultural, social and environmental responsibility—are
sandwiched by physical projects,” he said. The insistence that Minister of Tourism must care for Bali isalso expressed by Sabha Walaka Chairman of the Central Hindu Dharma Parishad of Indonesia (PHDI), Putu Wirata Dwikora. He urged Minister of Tourism to hear the aspirationsof Bali in managing tourism in Bali. “Rejection of the Minister of Tourism to revoke Besakih region from the KSPN tends to pay less attention to the aspirations of the Hindus,” he said. Recognition of the Minister of Tourism to the understanding of the Tri Hita Karana must be implemented correctly. On that account, the attitude of the Minister of Tourism who rejected the aspirations of the Hindus and still wanted to consult to include Besakih and its surroundings in the national
tourism strategic area (KSPN) is considered to have no attitude siding in the Bali tourism management based on Balinese culture and its people. Earlier, Prof. Sutjaya confirmed that Bali tourism is not only enjoyed by people from Jakarta, but also by those from overseas. Modernization of Bali tourism management has obscured the role of Balinese people in keeping their ancestral land. Properly, the policy of Bali tourism management must maximally involve Balinese people. The dominant interest of central government in Bali through various policies must be noted as an attempt to marginalize Balinese people at their home land.
