LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Lionel Richie's wife, who is seeking spousal support from the pop star as their divorce case proceeds, has told a Los Angeles judge that the couple regularly spent more than $300,000 a month.

Diane Richie, in a written declaration published on the Smoking Gun Web site (http://www.thesmokinggun.com), said her monthly expenses include $15,000 for clothing, shoes and accessories, $3,000 for "dermatology" and $1,000 for laser hair removal.

The 37-year-old mother of two, who filed for a divorce in January, said that each month she spends $600 on hair, $250 on nails, $150 on electrolysis, $450 on facials, $500 for her trainer and $600 each on Pilates, massages, and therapy.

The declaration is filed in connection with a request for spousal support from the 54-year-old singer. The amount that she is seeking is not clear from the court papers.

3. Divorce

Lionel Richie needs to get in touch with Barry Bonds' lawyer who was able was to substantially reduce the amount for which his former wife Sun Bonds was suing him. Unless there something about this relationship that is so worthy of such money, it is plain old greedy!

8. I've never seen so much animosity towards women in a long time

what's wrong with you people? She supported him and deserves that money. She had to sell her store for him, that would've at least grossed $5,000 a month. She wanted to work, but he FORCED her (as most men do to keep women down) to sell the store. Staying home with 9 maids on a $40 million mansion, and unlimited credit is not as easy as it may seem.
