Which television star pushed their network into creating a show for their spouse? The outspoken veteran used their stardom – and a few threats – to leverage a lucrative deal that clearly exceeds the spouse’s talent. Network execs did the deal because they wanted to keep the star happy. As they are certain the new show will fail, they are meeting behind the star’s back to discuss how they can keep their monetary losses to a minimum

Hmmm. This goes out of its way not to use the sex of the respective spouses. Makes me think it is a female popular star with a no-talent husband. Who are the big female stars who are married to lesser-talented actors?
Kelly Ripa?
Can’t be Spencer Pratt even though Heidi Montag is awful and talentless b/c they aren’t married.
Doctor Phil, It was in the Enquirer. If he doesnt, she’ll leave and take his fortune with her.
Is it Larry King? His wife Sean Something-or-another is a singer/actress.
maybe it’s her?
