Voodoo Limbo Top 10 Most Expensive Celebrity Divorces Voodoo Limbo Welcome to the land of Los Laos, aka Voodoo Limbo whose sole inhabitants appear to be an “inept gang of defunct and depressed voodoo dolls” who have been sentenced to a life of demeaning mediocrity by their original creators for being – well - just too crap.
It’s not as macabre as it sounds. In fact, Viva Voodoo provides some rather amusing game play. Launch your chosen voodoo from a gang plank and then click again to hang them from a rope thus fast tracking them to the pearly gates. Well, actually, not quite because the rope appears to be made of stretchier stuff producing a bungee effect meaning your soon to be demised doll will fly high into the sky before they crash to earth. The higher they go, the more points you get.
It’s a simple idea but the real joy is in the game’s presentation with bone crunching, head sqelching sounds used to great effect and with future gruesome episodes likely to be launched, it looks like the Voodoo Dolls could be undead for some time to come. The post nuptial payments that made Hollywood history are enough to make you consider becoming a full time celebrity stalker on the off chance of bagging a billionaire. The estimated 15 to 25 million dollars trousered by Jerry Hall when she split with Mick Jagger in 1999 looks like a bag of coppers when compared with some more recent payoffs. Director James Cameron wedding tanked after 18 months and he was forced to hand over an estimated 50 million dollars to Linda Hamilton.
Steven Spielberg’s must have regretted supposedly scribbling his pre-nup on a napkin as he signed the cheque for half his fortune and 100 million dollars to his recently divorced wife Amy Irving. And, the award for bravery in the face of marital adversity must go to the carpet chested crooner Neil Diamond who settled with Marcia Murphay for an estimated 150 million dollars before later concluding “she’s worth every penny”. |
