Dennis Rodman's ex gets early Christmas gift: $500K in child support

Dennis Rodman used to enjoy stellar days on the court, but now he just endures bad days IN court. His long battle over backlogged child support resumed on Thursday, and it didn't go well for the extravagant former sportsman. Rodman was found in contempt of court for "unintentionally" paying too little child support and ordered to cough up $500,000 to his ex-wife, Michelle Rodman. He was placed on informal probation until the end of 2013 and could still go to jail if he fails to pay what he owes. Michelle Rodman's lawyer, Mary Ann Noiroux, had an interesting suggestion for how Dennis could pay his bill. "Let's hope he gets on 'Celebrity Apprentice: All-Stars' next year," she said. [Source]
