Ronald J Hilton

The Hilton Hotels, this was a name based in a very special class of accommodating many travelers through the years actually since 1925. Real class based hotels, the best, hmmmm, maybe not so much in todays world, my thoughts. As you will see, one of the ‘Heirs’ also, hmm not so classy or as the expression goes, money does not ‘buy class’, read on!

The chain boasts that it has 3,750 hotels and 610,000 hotel rooms worldwide ( under several different brands some spectacular and some not so much ) The last comment could describe some of the ‘heirs’, some are spectacular and some are lets just say, ‘Unique’. One such ‘Unique’ HIlton is Uncle Ronnie, Paris Hilton’s uncle, this is another question to ponder, and why is Paris famous? I have some thoughts but I need to stay a little proper in this story.

Los Angeles Superior Court Case # BD 548 132 describes the divorce of Ronald J. Hilton, aka ‘Ronnie’ and his soon to be former wife Jo-Ann Hilton. Filing date is September 28, 2011, the happy couple were married September 9, 1999 and ‘separated’ July 15, 2011 ( this is also the date that we use on DESPERATEEXES.com as the date the ‘trash was tossed to the curb’. It was Jo-Ann that said this is it, I have had enough!…..and no children between the two. Ronnie’s only real claim to fame is that he is the youngest son of William Barron Hilton and the grandson of the founder of the Hilton Hotels, Conrad Hilton. And he is the Uncle of Paris, really? Wow and who cares? Having this lineage has been just wonderful in the form of having a rather large chunk of ‘MooLah’. Bring on the ‘strippers’, ‘ I am rich and will pay you to entertainment me, LOTS’ ‘I love being me, after all I am a HILTON’.

The records show how ‘Ronnie’ has a weakness for adult entertainment ( scantily clad young ladys ) and an occasional ‘good’ meal….LOL. One of the exhibits states that 0n 8.26.11 ‘Ronnie’ spent $762.78 at Mr. Chows in Beverly Hills…..this is a chinese restaurant that is beyond over priced and is as arrogant in attitude as they come, Mr. Chow my ass! I am sure that Mr. Hilton does not have to wait in line and why should he if he is dumb enough to spend over $700 dollars for chinese food…..’the rich are different’. Those that handle the front door of Mr. Chows can spot the suckers as they exit their cars, ( you ever visit Beverly Hills and want to see fools separated from their cash? Go get a coffee and sit across the street and you will see one of the best hustles in Chinese Food ) did I say suckers, I meant to say ‘rich and famous’……the rich get treated different at these joints.

‘Fools and their money’, it is stated in the declaration ( exhibit K ) of Jo-Ann Hilton that for two and one half weeks from July 6 to July 24, 2011 ‘Ronnie’ spent $19,328.63 for ‘Prisma Entertainment’ aka a STRIP CLUB aka “ Plan B”. Like the Sopranos, Badda Bing, ‘titties galore’ ‘ look at dat ass’, you can look and better not touch…unless you got some BIG Do Re Money and always the hope of ‘so much more’!

NOTE: (to all my female readers, seldom do Adult Entertainment use the correct name on credit card billing, it will not be, ‘ Big Boobs and Tight Buts ‘, rather it might be “ Savanah “, lots of important people go to these places and you dont want Boobs and Buts on your credit card statement.) No big deal right, we all have plan ‘B’s and as I said before, ‘the rich are different’, working guys like you and me have a ‘Plan B’ to feed and take care of a family not in this case folks. Here is a thought, was ‘Ronnie’ cumming or going for that price? Other accusations in the declaration speak of $1,660.60 at Louis Vuitton…a gift? I have been known to give special gifts also from “ Louis “, actually more $$$$ than this one, hmmm I guess if it was for a stripper that could get a very special lap dance! Keep ‘dem’ dollars coming I guess, open wide for ‘Ronnie’ The charges are interesting to in the dollar amounts, lots of $160.50, two were for $620.60 and $1,240.20 that has to be some real adult entertainment. This makes me feel cheap, I complain at the $100 for the two hour massage and happy ending as in I am often happy it has ended…ouch!

It would appear that ‘Ronnie’ likes the Chateau Marmont Hotel, ( the only thing this old dump needs is a wrecking ball ) 702.55 on 6.25.11 and again on July 6, 2011 $2,187.48 he must have been rolling like a ‘rock star’ on that night. Ronnie also likes the Four Seasons in Los Angeles, $2,055.55, here is a thought in ‘Ronnies’ roaming, is he checking out the competition? I did not see any Hilton Hotel property on his journeys around Los Angeles and quite frankly I dont blame him, The Chateau is old and seedy and The Four Seasons is very nice….could it be he knows something the rest of the traveling public does not know? Here is another thought, does he get to stay free at Gran Pa’s hotels? Could be. For me and a few ‘pals’ nothing nicer than the Ritz or the Four Seasons, I will always pass on a Hilton, unless I was a stripper or if I was an owner of a stripper paradise, then I guess I would love a HILTON, LMAO.

Mr. Ronald J. Hilton is being represented by the Law of Offices of Meyer, Olson, Lowy and Meyers. Mrs. Jo-Ann Hilton is being represented by Trope & Decarolis.

My final thought in all of this is simple, do the rest of the ‘ Heirs ‘ live like this and squander good money on strippers and good times in 2011, what must it have been like in the old days? The ‘founding father’ days of the Hilton Hotel chain, what the hell, the rich have always been different and sometimes not too smart…’, Hey, pay attention to me I am rich and I will pay and pay, I love paying, here take some money, see I like giving away, well most of the time anyway, How Much did you say?’.

Anthony Pellicano

DESPERATEEXES.COM EXCLUSIVE!!!! Anthony Pellicano has filed for divorce from his wife Kat Pellicano. The two were together for well over 25 years. Mr. Pellicano is represented by Robert J. Nachshin, Lawyer, Mr. Nachshin has been in the trenches of ‘divorce’ for many years here in Southern California, handling many high profile clients. Anthony once again could have picked several lawyers to represent him and chose Mr. Nachshin’s office…..smart! (Some of those lawyers I am sure are trying to forget Mr. Pellicano ever existed, but he did and these very same lawyers will forever be connected to him….and we all know who you are).

Anthony Pellicano of course famous for his ability to gather information through the tapping of telephones is serving far more years in a Federal Prison than I am sure he ever expected. Anthony was given an additional 15 years on top of what he was serving for a previous conviction. Please keep in mind that much of that sentence was do to his insistence in representing himself, this I believe. Also even a bigger issue was his refusal to ever roll over on any of the lawyers that he worked with and ‘tapped’ for. For those lawyers here at DESPERATEEXES.COM we call them ‘ Very Very Very Lucky’ lawyers. And you all know who you are as I am sure the feds also know, and lots of others know who you are, and on and on it goes.

Had Anthony decided to save his own ass, he could have been a free man, and the Beverly Hills Bar Association would have had a dozen or so less lawyers in its ranks.

That never happened due in part to Mr. Pellicano keeping his mouth shut and loosing his freedom and everything else he owned. That I am sure brings pleasure to many of his victims and again, at some point you have to let the hate go and move on.

“Summing up, the prosecuting attorney stated that he chose to attack the supply rather than the demand, the way that vice investigators attack pimps and prostitutes rather than johns, because “that’s how you make a dent in it.” The johns in this case were the likes of Bert Fields, Brad Grey, Ron Meyer, Michael Ovitz and Chris Rock, all of whom paid Pellicano for services rendered. “If the government has no plans to go higher than Pellicano, this is a depressingly pedestrian effort that shows a lack of ambition,” commented John C. Coffee, a professor at Columbia Law School and an expert on white-collar crime, as quoted in the NY Times story on the verdict.” This paragraph was taken from Mr. Pellicano’s Wikipedia page and I very much agree with almost all of it. Pellicano could have had some of the most powerful lawyers and entertainment execs in Federal Prison had he chosen to talk…..as if it was not bad enough I am sure that proctologist in Beverly Hills were busy for weeks trying to relax some of these assholes ‘Proktos’!

As for Anthonys wife, Kat, I had the opportunity to speak to her a couple of time and what a class act. She was just one of the nicest people and at times you had to recall that old adage,
“ opposites attract “. As to his family that is private and will never be mentioned here on DESPERATEEXES.COM….none of my business. We do not know at this time who will represent her in these proceedings, my suggestions, lets see, Ira Friedman of Friedman & Friedman, Michael Trope of Trope and Decarolis, Judith Forman of Law Offices of Judith Forman, Grace Jamra of Jamra & Jamra, Roz Soudry, Law Offices of Roslyn Soudry…..just a few that I think that would get through this without the usual slaughter of finances.

For us here at DESPERATEEXES.COM and for myself I hope that this goes in a direction of reasonableness and that both these people get the time to move on with their lives. Mr. Pellicano has plenty of time as well as Robert Nachshin to handle this in a sensitive and delicate manner. It is my hope that Mrs. Pellicano will find her own peace and a counter part to take care of the closing of another chapter in her life.

I wish them both ‘Peace and a better future’.

PS….I would love to have that Pelican that sat in the offices on Sunset Boulevard….

Buzz and Lois Aldin

Brot and Gross have hit it to the moon again! Lawyers Ronald Brot and Mark Gross continue to be the “go to” guys in the world of high profile divorces. Well Ron is going to the moon, sort of indirectly.

Ronald Brot is representing Buzz Aldrin (whom we all watched walk on the moon with Neil Armstrong) as he now sends his third wife to the moon! Ron is the guy to do it, and I am betting it will be a one way trip. These divorce lawyers (Ron and Mark) have the energy and shock like a new nightclub….they rock! And they have the office and staff to rock most lawyers worlds…they are not nice and they like it that way. Nice they are as to being great and fun people, but not easy when it comes to seeing anything except what they think is right for their clients…”Fly me to the Moon” indeed!

And the reason for the divorce you ask? “Irreconcilable differences”, a legal term for they hate each other, at least for now. Well that is great for Mr. Aldrin, he got him a real launcher but wait. This is not going to be cheap…welcome to Southern California, great sun and even greater legal fees! Divorce is a big deal, like building a house and it should not be cheap…you want it done right and you should pay for it. Also it is a learning experience that once you do it you don’t want to do it again. Buzz? is this number 3? You got to love this guy, The Moon and DIVORCE #3.

Lois Cannon and Buzz were married on Valentines Day, in ’88 (over ten years, you go girl!) and I understand that she is searching for a divorce lawyer and a satellite to keep her in orbit, or at least in a “lifestyle” she is accustomed to and who are you betting on? Meyer Olson Lowy & Meyers? Trope & Trope? Trope & Decarolis? Ros Soudry? Susan Wiesner? Grace Jamra? Steven Knowles? Bob Cohen? well my fingers are getting sore. All I will say that whoever she gets to keep her in orbit will have their hands full in dealing with RON BROT.

And we are at 10, 9, 8, ahh you know the rest, I need to stop!

Once again Desperate Exes.com give us a unique view into Divorce Hollywood Style and John J. Nazarian has a new update on the murder of Mike Yepremyan’s latest murder suspect.

Kirk Kerkorian settles long time feud with ex-wife Lisa

Michael Trope has hit the grand slam home run of Family Law. He hit the ball right out of the park with the bases loaded for his client, Lisa Kerkorian. We at DesperateExes.com are betting that this is one of the biggest if not THE biggest child support wins in the history of divorce… …but Lisa K is no fool, she reached out and picked a winner, Michael Trope, of Trope and DeCarolis.

Michael Trope not only negotiated this incredible win, but folks wait till you hear this number, $10,250,000.00 in retroactive child support for Lisa Da K going back to 2002! There is no other lawyer in the United States that could have put a deal like this together, none. …can you say “vindicated?” Whoever found Michael Trope for Ms. Kerkorian should be awarded a trip around the world, all expenses paid!!! Or a Rolex, “The Yacht-Master II” blue bezel and…

…Folks there is always a backside to these stories and this one is no different. It was back in ….2008 when Michael Trope presented his “Motion to set aside” all the nasty stuff that victimized Lisa Kerkorian. As some of you will remember when she had Kolodny and Anteau as her lawyers pretty much all of what she said on the phone was being shared with Kirk Kerkorian’s lawyer Christensen …Anthony Pellicano know who else through wiretaps… …and Terry Christensen lost his ability to practice law…disbarred….

…1. Lisa did not get a fair trial in 2002 because her lawyers were compromised with wire taps…..

2. Michael Trope was asking that everything be set aside as it was an “unfair” trial. And this was the only reasonable thing the court could do…a great position to take.

3. All previous evidence would have to be purged, tossed, thrown out, dumped…why? It was all obtained through illegal conduct…

4. …Kirk Kerkorian crew would not be allowed to present any new evidence and all of the other stuff would be tossed…

…. Now, for the big turn, a change of direction, we got a fresh attitude. I wrote on May 12, 2010 that the Judge orders lotsa bacon for Lisa Da K lawyers.” That day, it is my opinion that Joe Mannis, not being anyone’s fool saw what the exposure could be for his client and began to chart a new course. The actions and comments that day by Judge Steinberg made it clear that it was not going to be business as usual when it came to Lisa Kerkorian and her lawyer, Michael Trope. The other side representing Kirk Kerkorian had committed serious crimes and…

…The deal has been floating around it looks like since July 8, 2010, my birthday! The agreement was finalized and signed… …October 22, 2010. Representing Mr. Kirk Kerkorian is none other than one of the biggest hitters in family law, Joe Mannis. When it comes to seasoned lawyers talk to Joe Mannis. Keep in mind, Mannis represented one of the richest men in the world on this divorce/support issue. Talk about Titans of DIVORCE, here you have two of the best in the game, Michael Trope and Joe Mannis!

In closing, this was some of the best big gun lawyering in Family Law court this year, Michael Trope for Lisa Kerkorian and Joe Mannis for Kirk Kerkorian. …Michael Trope, need I remind everyone that before becoming a lawyer, he was one of the biggest sports agents in the country…”The Art of Negotiating” is alive and well at Trope and DeCarolis.

Read the rest of this article as well as the previous coverage at Desperate Exes.com.

http://desperateexes.com/2010/10/22/cha-ching-kerkorian-settlement-could-set-record/.

UPDATE ADDITION: The settlement, which provides $100,000 a month until Kira turns 19 or until she graduates from high school, no longer is a full-time student or no longer is living with her mother full-time. After that, the settlement says, the child support will be reduced to $50,000 a month.

The agreement also provides for Kerkorian to pay expenses including school costs, equestrian expense, clothing, housing, travel, hobbies, automobiles, food, beauty treatments, tutoring, entertainment, parties and pets.

The AP reports that Lisa was married to Kerkorian for only 28 days and admitted that their daughter, Kara was not his biological daughter, but Kerkorian has loved her and been involved in her life as her “dad” since day one.

Wonder how much the Court awarded Michael Trope in attorney fees? Perhaps John J. Nazarian will get that scoop and share it with us as well.

Ted Baxter Divorce Court

Well we are all just sitting here waiting for the guilty verdicts on the Anna Nicole Smith trial to come in, and are curious as to what is taking so long? It is now day five of deliberations and nothing from the “Peers”…not sure if it is going to be good or bad…either way, it appears that the jury is taking their time and crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s. And Judge Fidler is not Judge Perry…big difference.

So, a little light humor here while we wait. And while chuckling, pay attention and you will learn something about the way of this world we call “Divorce.”

Folks, here is a little update on the story we did on Mr. Douglas A. Bagby on June 15th of 2010 titled, “The Ted Baxter of the Courtroom”…well, time does change things and in this case it went from awful to just terrible, I mean bad, real bad, like all four of my tires are flat bad, miserably painfully on a scale from 1-10….

…As luck would have it, Ms. Lauren Stills on September 17, 2010 signed a declaration under the penalty of perjury all of the following. I am going to take snippets of her declaration, the parts that I found “moving” and… …Well, when you go through her declaration and read what she has to say about her lawyer, Mr. Douglas A. Bagby…

…Here are some highlights:

From Paragraph 3, First Page, of what Lauren Stills’ declaration:

“Mr. Bagby’s seeking to withdraw under the circumstances of my case is, in my view, unconscionable. It should not be granted. Indeed, he seeks to withdraw after depleting a substantial family asset base, the size and limits of which were known by him, as he advised me from the outset and on the eve of my hiring him to sell our family residence to raise funds for legal fees, which only now seems like self-serving advice which helped his practice weather the economic downturn while there appeared an evident client shortage.”

DESPERATEEXES.COM STATES: WOW…

….Paragraph 4, towards the bottom:

“Quite frankly, I trusted Mr. Bagby, and expected from the outset to the present (minus two months) that he would be faithful in bringing closure to both financial and custody matters given the ample resources he had at his disposal.”
DESPERATEEXES.COM STATES: WOW, Yup, “He had,” that is past tense!

Paragraph 4, bottom:

“It made no sense to spend as if there was a bottomless pit of financial resources, which he knew there were not. Could it be true that Mr. Bagby figured he would just work until the money ran out and then withdraw? Sadly, I now believe this to be so.”

DESPERATEEXES.COM ASKS: Lauren did you ever discuss and….

…Paragraph 5, first line:

“Over approximately four years of representing me, Mr. Bagby has completed no or virtually no discovery on the most critical financial issue of the entire case–namely, valuation of PIP–and has left the forensic accountant with a balance of over $ 16,000.00 and a payment promise long overdue”

DESPERATEEXES.COM STATES: WOW X 3. Often we as private investigators will assist clients with issues like this and try and “ride herd” over the case…it is almost sounding like there was a stampede of Ben Franklins aka…

Paragraph 5, line 29:

“The bottom line is that Mr. Bagby has incurred ample fees to ensure payment for himself–to the tune of approximately $1 million in fees to his office over almost four years…”

DESPERATEEXES.COM STATES: Oh that is one hell of a tune, Peggy Lee had a hit recording titled, “Hey Big Spender,“ that too… …not as nice as Sorrell Trope, Lisa H. Meyer or Susan E. Weisner, but nice….
.
Paragraph 6, line 20, Lauren Stills declares:

…“what is going to happen when the money runs out?…Had I been provided just one ounce of an honest answer months and hundreds of thousands of dollars ago, I would have made different choices…” “letting the attorney run the show…”

DESPERATEEXES.COM STATES: Lauren, you should have…

…Folks, read all of this declaration at your leisure as it is a real learning experience for women and sometimes men to realize what you are getting into in the world of Divorce. Is what Lauren Stills experienced so rare? Well…

As to his “never using my office or services”…

Now in all fairness as I can see the e-mails and letters coming (at least I hope), as I am making it clear now, ANY E-MAILS OR LETTERS FROM MR. DOUGLAS A. BAGBY WILL BE POSTED FOR ALL TO READ ON… …DESPERATEEXES.COM. This is not to pick on Mr. Douglas A. Bagby, it is however…

Mr. Douglas A. Bagby’s declaration as of September 22nd, 2010 highlights forthwith:

Paragraph 2, line 10, Mr. Bagby states:

“I do not intend to provide any response to the many false statements made by Respondent in her declaration unless this court orders me to do so…I do not believe the personal attacks made by the respondent against me do anything other than support my request to withdraw as her attorney in this matter…”

DESPERATEEXES.COM STATES: LMAO! I can close my eyes and hear Mr. Douglas A. Bagby stating his position, standing of course. I agree with Mr. Bagby…

Paragraph 2, line 17, Mr. Bagby states:

“August 4, 2010, I sent Respondent a lengthy confidential email explaining why I could not possibly continue as her attorney of record in the pending action…Financial considerations were not the compelling reason”

DESPERATEEXES.COM STATES: LMAO SOME MORE! Brevity is not one of Mr. Bagby’s strong cards. And where in the list of considerations was “Financial.” (someday I hope I can make one million on one case…)

Paragraph 3, line 20, Mr. Bagby states:

“I have invested extraordinary efforts on behalf of Respondent over the past 4 years.”

DESPERATEEXES.COM STATES: SOMEONE HELP ME I AM ON THE FLOOR….OMG!!!!!!! And what did Lauren Stills invest in you Mr. Bagby?

Paragraph 3, line 22, Mr. Bagby states:

“My office has over 7,000 email communications with Respondent since February of 2008 on virtually every issue, including many on evenings, weekends, and vacations, and probably in excess of 10,000 since I was retained by respondent”

Feel free to read all of Mr. Bagby’s responses to his client’s accusations and again, Mr. Douglas A. Bagby is not the only lawyer who bails on a client. I have done it and again I have seen other lawyers do this also…

To all my readers, remember to ask questions and don’t write big checks, write small ones and keep track. And also remember to have someone on your side if you are too timid to ask the ultimate question: “WHAT THE F*%# ARE YOU DOING?“….AND……

To read the rest of John J. Nazarain’s article visit Desperate Exex.com, the two declarations are not on his site yet but I will email him and ask how we can get these for you to read.

Douglas Bagby the Ted Baxter of Divorce Court

Douglas A. Bagby, I have never heard of this guy till today! Mr. Bagby was doing divorce battle with none other than Michael Trope of Trope and DeCarolis. This was taking place in Judge Rudy Diaz’s courtroom, Dept. 83.

When I walked in there was Mr. Bagby doing what only could be called an oration of sorts. One thing I noticed was that his suit was a nice cut and fit him well, it had to be tailored. Sitting next to him was his client, and forgive me here folks but she looked like a horse that had been ridden hard and put away wet! …

Well back to Bagby, he just went on and on, Judge Diaz was developing a pained look on his own face and just kept his head lowered as if to be praying that Bagby would just sit down and shut up! Mr. Bagby was very entertaining, if you listen to him he has a great presentation until you realize he is “shoveling” it as fast and furious as he can. And if you listen closer you will ask yourself, “what did he say?” How many of you remember Ted Baxter on the Mary Tyler Moore Show, he is alive and well living in the body of Douglas A. Bagby, Esq. Someone should grab this guy for Dancing with the Stars, for sure, he does a great soft shoe and moves into a great tap dance and if that all fails hold on for the Fox Trot. This guy is good, just like Ted Baxter.

All of a sudden Judge Diaz rules against Mr. Bagby and DABs did something I have never seen or heard any divorce lawyer do. Within seconds of having the judge rule against him, Mr. Bagby goes into an incredible mini oration as to “when do I get some money over here”…shit he just morphed into Archie Bunker! For sure he tried to force Judge Diaz in giving an order for funds, let’s see back in March of 2010 he asked for $200,000 based on a potential $70,000 bill and was given $25,000…( remember the nice suit ) Judge Diaz was not going for it back in March and I am betting he won’t be going for it today either. Mr. Bagby stated that he had a “Substitute of Attorney” form ready and waiting as he looked around the courtroom for someone to pass the form to. He was backing doing a soft shoe and ready to let a rhumba loose. Judge Diaz told him, “we are in a middle of a hearing”…DABs comes back and states, “this is going to cost me another $20,000?…he has costs and on and on he went, $100 grand? Perhaps he should begin asking at $20,000 and not wait for his bill to go to $100 grand…and he does wear a nice suit.

Pretty soon DAB’s client asked the court to clear the courtroom… …she may look like she parked her ass on a porcupine but she had us all tossed out in the hall…
