If you are getting married and you have some money, you better get a prenuptial agreement — no matter whether you are male or female.
With the divorce rate approaching 50 percent, a prenup is essential for wealthy suitors. “Taylor Swift better have a prenup,” said Ankit Kapoor, founding partner at Cohen Stine Kapoor, a matrimonial and family law practice.
“The law doesn’t look at gender,” added Kapoor.
“With the rise of feminism, more women are working and wealthy. It’s not uncommon for a woman to make more income than her husband.”
While Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce, is hardly a pauper, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s wealth is dwarfed several times over by his bride’s estimated $2B net worth.
Pop star Sia is paying her ex-husband Daniel Bernard $42,500 a month in tax-free support. They were married just three years, but the Los Angeles couple produced a son, Somersault.
“The husband hit the jackpot there,” Kapoor said. “He’s a nobody and he’ll be getting half a million dollars a year.”
Britney Spears had to pay Kevin Federline $40,000 a month in child support.
“I’ve done more prenups this year than the previous three years combined,” Kapoor said. “But a prenup doesn’t protect you against child support.”
If one parent is wealthy and the other isn’t, the judges will even it up so the children won’t suffer from disparity.

“Killing Castro,” directed by Eif Rivera, premiered to acclaim at the Tribeca Film Festival. Al Pacino stars as a retired CIA agent Robert Maheu.
The movie is set in 1960, when Fidel Castro came to New York to speak at the UN. He was invited by Malcolm X to stay in Harlem at the famous Hotel Theresa, where agents with ties to the FBI, CIA and the Mafia, plotted to assassinate him.
The after-party at Planet Hollywood — co-hosted by 50 Cent and Palisades Post studio owner Jane Sinisi — drew co-producer DJ Khaled, who had a mini-reunion with Fat Joe.

Tracy Morgan is funny, and he showed his comedic chops on Variety’s “Actors on Actors” video interview with Marcello Hernandez, who has been on “Saturday Night Live” for four years.
A discussion about manual labor prompted Morgan to demand: “Let me see your hands. Put them out. [They touch hands.] They soft. You know why they soft? Because all you do is count money and touch women.”
Hernández said, “Let me see yours.”
Morgan: “Soft. I don’t do nothing else. All I do is touch my wife and count money. You know what I want to do with my life? I want to do karate and get girls pregnant. You ain’t got no kids?”
Hernández: “Nope.”
Morgan: “Well, you better stop pulling out.”

There is a reason why Jim Nantz and the CBS crew is featured in “Tin Cup,” the 1996 golf comedy starring Kevin Costner, Rene Russo, Don Johnson and Cheech Marin.
The movie’s director Ron Shelton told Bobby Love, of Joan Jedell’s Hamptons Sheet, he “never approached NBC because we’d hired [Gary] McCord as an advisor and he took it to CBS.”
McCord was a CBS golf commentator who was banned from covering the Masters Tournament in 1994 after joking that the 17th green was so fast it seemed to be “bikini-waxed.”
The U.S. Open ends today at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton.
