Mickey Rourke <\/strong>doesn\u2019t 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\u2019s been staying at a hotel in West Hollywood with rates of $550\/night \u2013 so much for downsizing.  Enter Kimberly Hines<\/strong>, Rourke\u2019s manager for the past decade.  She had her assistant set up a GoFundMe <\/em><\/strong>campaign to try and raise $100K to help get Mickey on his feet.  While she says she ran it by Rourke, he was outraged.  \u201cI wouldn\u2019t ask for no fucking charity.  I\u2019d rather stick a gun up my ass and pull the trigger.  So whoever did this, I don\u2019t know if they did it \u2013 why they did it.  I don\u2019t understand.\u201d<\/p>\n

He won\u2019t even be able to do that.  Someone from Mickey\u2019s team called the LA Sheriff\u2019s Department <\/em>saying Rourke wanted to turn in a firearm.  He had a shotgun which was legally registered.  He told the cop he\u2019d 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\u2019s GoFundMe <\/em>campaign hit $92K, it was \u201cpaused\u201d.  It\u2019s not all bad news.  Someone offered him $1K to appear in a low-budget flick.  Take it \u2013 it will cover two nights in the hotel!<\/p>\n

It should also be mentioned that this was not Rourke\u2019s first eviction of the year.  In April of 2025, he was dramatically thrown out of the Celebrity Big Brother<\/em><\/strong> house after producers felt he used \u201cunacceptable language and behavior\u201d toward fellow housemate, JoJo Siwa<\/strong>.  Isn\u2019t that why he was cast in the first place?<\/p>\n

Kevin Spacey <\/strong>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 \u2013 he\u2019s a glass-half-full kinda guy.  He\u2019s looking at his lack of roots as an opportunity.  \u201cI\u2019m living in hotels.  I\u2019m living in AirBnBs<\/em>, I\u2019m going where the work is.\u201d  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 \u2013 which was one of my other potential vacation destinations.  Maybe it\u2019s a destination I should reconsider.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if he qualifies as homeless, but Eric McCormack<\/strong>\u2019s long-gestating divorce has been finalized.  He and Janet Leigh Holden <\/strong>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<\/em><\/strong>), and she\u2019ll 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 \u201cirreconcilable differences\u201d.  Hmm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
