  • ‘The Big Bang Theory’ star Kaley Cuoco signed prenuptial agreement with husband Karl before wedding

    By ANI

    WASHINGTON: Hollywood actor Kaley Cuoco, who recently announced her split from husband Karl Cook after three years of marriage, their divorce proceedings will include their prenuptial agreement which the ex-couple signed before their 2018 wedding.

    According to US Weekly, a source close to Cuoco exclusively told the outlet that the ‘Flight Attendant’ star “has ironclad prenup in place.”

    She and Cook were married in June 2018 after a six-month engagement, during which time the duo signed a legal agreement just in case they were to split. “Her assets are protected,” the insider added.

    The Emmy nominee filed for divorce on Friday, September 3, the same day the pair announced their breakup.

    “Despite a deep love and respect for one another, we have realized that our current paths have taken us in opposite directions,” they said in a joint statement to Us Weekly on Friday.

    The statement continued, “We have both shared so much of our journey publicly so while we would prefer to keep this aspect of our personal life private, we wanted to be forthcoming in our truth together. There is no anger or animosity, quite the contrary.”

    After Cuoco officially filed the paperwork, the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, ordered both to share their financial information regarding all current income and expenses as well as property assets owned both separately and together and debts. The two have 60 days to comply.

    Prenups typically dictate how assets will be divided in the event of divorce. Cuoco and Cook’s agreement details are currently under wraps.

    The legal document likely protects Cuoco’s estimated USD 100 million net worth. The actor, who started working as a child, has had an endorsement deal with Priceline for several years and was earning USD 1 million per episode in the final two seasons of ‘The Big Bang Theory’. Her estimated income from the initial 12-season run of the show is said to be just under USD 150 million, and that’s before residuals for syndication and backend equity, as per US Weekly.

    Cook, an accomplished equestrian, is assumed to have an impressive bank account to protect as well. He earns thousands in prize money at horse competitions every year, and his father is billionaire Scott Cook, founder of software company Intuit.

    The ‘Harley Quinn’ voiceover actor was previously married to tennis player Ryan Sweeting for 21 months from December 2013 until their split in September 2015.

    As per US Weekly, the divorce was finalized the next year when Cuoco was ordered to pay the athlete USD 165,000, plus USD 195,000 for his personal trainers and up to USD 55,000 in attorney’s fees.

  • Felt ‘different’ while growing up in Hollywood, says ‘The Big Bang Theory’ star Mayim Bialik

    By ANI
    WASHINGTON: Mayim Bialik recently opened up about her experience of growing up as a young child performer in Hollywood and revealed that she felt “different” from others while it was happening.

    According to Fox News, the ‘Big Bang Theory’ alum divulged, “I don’t know if I felt normal growing up. But I don’t think that had to do with the fact that I was a child actor — I think that I came from a really unusual family. So nothing felt normal for me. I always felt different.”

    The ‘Jeopardy!’ guest host pressed that she felt like an outsider growing up in the public eye as a young actor. She explained, “Being on television definitely … made me feel like more of an outsider. Being in the public eye is definitely abnormal. But there was a lot about my life that was still normal: I was still treated like a normal kid who had to go to school, and do my chores and be picked on by my brother.”

    During a virtual panel for Fox’s Winter Press Tour in December, Bialik told reporters that seven years after breaking out as an actor in the 1988 musical drama ‘Beaches’ at the age of 12, she removed herself from the Hollywood eye simply because she wanted to have “an experience of being appreciated for what was inside and not just sort of what I could offer people.”

    The 45-year-old actor, at the time said, “I was 19 when I left the industry and I was away for 12 years. I got my degree and I had my two sons and I taught neuroscience for about five years after getting my degree. And the God’s honest truth is I was running out of health insurance and I went back to acting so that I could literally just get enough insurance to cover my toddler and my infant. And I had never seen the ‘Big Bang Theory.’”

    As per Fox News, the ‘Call Me Kat’ star and executive producer, who also held down guest spots on ‘Doogie Howser, M.D.’ as a child star, said she credits the film ‘Blossom’ for opening her mind to the fact that she didn’t feel normal because her life wasn’t a normal experience, instead she lives one that people rarely have the opportunity to have even in their adult lives.

  • ‘The Big Bang Theory’ actress Kaley Cuoco to play Doris Day in new limited series

    By PTI
    LOS ANGELES: Actor Kaley Cuoco will portray screen legend Doris Day in an upcoming limited series from Warner Bros Television.

    The untitled series is based on Day’s official biography “Doris Day: Her Own Story”, penned by AE Hotchner and published in 1976, reported Deadline.

    Cuoco, known for featuring in shows such as “The Big Bang Theory” and “Charmed”, will also produce the project through her Yes, Norman Productions.

    The show marks her second collaboration with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros.

    Television after the success of her HBO Max series “The Flight Attendant”.

    Day was one of the biggest female stars of the 1950s and 1960s, and had a equally impressive musical career.

    Born as Mary Ann Von Kappelhoff, on April 3, 1922 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Day began her professional career as a singer at the age of 15 and tasted success in her early 20s with the song “Sentimental Journey”, in collaboration with Les Brown’s band.

    But it was the signature song “Que Sera Sera” from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1956 film “The Man Who Knew Too Much” that brought her global fame.

    Over the years, she featured in films such as “Calamity Jane”, “The Thrill of It All”, “Love Me or Leave Me”, and “Pillow Talk”.

    Day married four times, and her third husband lost all of their money, leaving her in debt when he died in 1968.

    A career in television saved her from financial ruin.

    The limited series will be executive produced by Cuoco, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and David Madden.

  • ‘Big Bang Theory’ star Kaley Cuoco’s Valentine’s day post gets unsolicited comment from ex-boyfriend

    By ANI
    WASHINGTON: Hollywood actor Kaley Cuoco, who shared a wholesome Valentine’s Day post this weekend, got a comment from ex-boyfriend Johnny Galecki after she called her life forgettable and ‘boring’ before she met husband Karl Cook.

    The 35-year-old actor had shared a snapshot of herself and Karl Cook celebrating the February holiday, posting an Instagram picture of the two embracing each other and sharing a kiss.

    In the sepia-toned picture, both of them can be seen wearing face masks amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Cuoco comically captioned the post as, ‘Happy 5 years to the weirdest person I know! I don’t remember a moment before you entered my life.. what a boring life that must have been! I love you @mrtankcook !’

    Taking note of the comment, Galecki, who dated Cuoco for 2 years while they starred together on The Big Bang Theory, jokingly took offense to Cuoco’s caption and wrote, “Um,” playfully referencing to their time together.

    While Galecki might not have been a fan of the romantic caption, her husband certainly was. Cook replied, “This is the only way I want to kiss from now on!!! I love you so much, honey!”

    Cuoco is married to professional equestrian Karl Cook, with whom she tied the knot in 2018, while Galecki recently split from Alaina Meyer after two years. They share a son together.
