Do lesbians Need a Prenup? Jane Lynch is Maybe Thinking so This Week

Do lesbians need a prenup? A question I never expected to ask this sunny morning. However, Jane Lynch maybe thinking so this week, after her divorce was finalized on Monday.

A year after the divorce proceedings between Jane Lynch and her estranged wife (Dr. Lara Embry) slightly sour, their union is now officially dissolved. But is come at a price.

According to TMZ reports, Lynch will need to pay a lump sum of $1.2 million spread out over two years to her former wife.

Dr. Embry will also get fifty percent of the funds in a number of bank accounts, including a 401(k); fifty percent of Lynch’s TV royalties; fifty percent of their $56,810 tax refund; their yacht club membership; and the family dog.

Embry, a psychologist, had initially asked for spousal support to the tune of $94,000 a month, claiming that during her three-year marriage to Lynch she had grown accustomed to spending nearly $6,500 per month on clothes, $12,000 per month on entertainment and vacations, and $4,500 per month on dining out. WOW!

The divorce was finalized on Monday.

Rosie O’Donnell Returning to TV

Comedian, actor and lesbian icon Rosie O’Donnell has made a deal with ABC to return to The View, TMZ is reporting. The celebrity news source announced O’Donnell will be a co-host on the daytime show she left in 2007.

O’Donnell previously co-hosted The View from September 2006 until May 2007 and left after an on-air feud with former co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Both returned, along with the nine other current and former co-hosts, to salute Barbara Walters, who retired in May.

O’Donnell will now join Whoopi Goldberg on the program, who is the last host standing after several co-hosts left the program for various reasons over the past two months. In addition to Walters’ retirement, Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy also recently announced their departures from The View.

According to TMZ, the show is also looking to add a Latina and a conservative co-host. Sarah Palin has thrown her name in the hat as a potential co-host and Mario Cantone has reportedly been offered a position on the panel, which would make him the show’s first male co-host.
