Poor Mickey Ain’t So Fine

Mickey Rourke doesn’t work often these days, which probably contributed to his financial troubles.  In December, he was evicted by his landlord for not paying back rent in the neighborhood of $60K.  Allegedly, his landlord raised the monthly rent from $5,200 to $7,000.  Since his eviction, he’s been staying at a hotel in West Hollywood with rates of $550/night – so much for downsizing.  Enter Kimberly Hines, Rourke’s manager for the past decade.  She had her assistant set up a GoFundMe campaign to try and raise $100K to help get Mickey on his feet.  While she says she ran it by Rourke, he was outraged.  “I wouldn’t ask for no fucking charity.  I’d rather stick a gun up my ass and pull the trigger.  So whoever did this, I don’t know if they did it – why they did it.  I don’t understand.”

He won’t even be able to do that.  Someone from Mickey’s team called the LA Sheriff’s Department saying Rourke wanted to turn in a firearm.  He had a shotgun which was legally registered.  He told the cop he’d be leaving the area and no longer wanted it.  The Sheriff took possession of the firearm.  Rourke has a year to claim it, or it will be destroyed.  And speaking of destroying, as Mickey’s GoFundMe campaign hit $92K, it was “paused”.  It’s not all bad news.  Someone offered him $1K to appear in a low-budget flick.  Take it – it will cover two nights in the hotel!

It should also be mentioned that this was not Rourke’s first eviction of the year.  In April of 2025, he was dramatically thrown out of the Celebrity Big Brother house after producers felt he used “unacceptable language and behavior” toward fellow housemate, JoJo Siwa.  Isn’t that why he was cast in the first place?

Kevin Spacey is also homeless.  After years of trying to hold on to his Baltimore abode (which he bought when he was gainfully employed in the area), he lost it in a foreclosure auction due to the financial strain of the combined lack of work and legal fees.  But that Kevin – he’s a glass-half-full kinda guy.  He’s looking at his lack of roots as an opportunity.  “I’m living in hotels.  I’m living in AirBnBs, I’m going where the work is.”  And as exciting as that all sounds, may I ask one little question?  What work??  Well, occasionally he works as a lounge singer in Cyprus – which was one of my other potential vacation destinations.  Maybe it’s a destination I should reconsider.

I’m not sure if he qualifies as homeless, but Eric McCormack’s long-gestating divorce has been finalized.  He and Janet Leigh Holden met in 1994, married in 1997, and filed for divorce in 2023.  That sounds like a success story to me.  The delay was in finalizing the financial settlement.  Assets were cut down the middle, Janet will receive half of the income Eric makes from any jobs he had during their marriage (which includes half the residuals to Will and Grace), and she’ll also get spousal support of $10K per month which cannot be modified for 10 years.  Should you be interested, Janet is the one who filed for divorce, citing that old chestnut “irreconcilable differences”.  Hmm.
