The Control Freaks

No one wants to let go any more (which is another way of saying "no one wants to love unconditionally any more"), and the pre-nup is a great example of it. In Hollywood, where I assume pre-nups are as common as quit claim deeds, they're taking on bizarre qualities:

Attorneys say some recent celebrity prenups include:
Ӣ Limiting the wife's weight to 120 pounds or she must relinquish $100,000 of her separate property.
Ӣ Allowing a spouse to perform random drug tests, with financial penalties for positive results.
Ӣ Requiring a husband to pay $10,000 each time he is rude to his wife's parents. . . .
Ӣ No mother-in-law sleepovers. Only one football game per Sunday. Mandatory sexual positions.
