Celebrity Justice
Dark Night for Batman Director's Ex

Tim Burton has finally knocked the wind out of his ex-fiancee.

We've learned the California Court of Appeal has just put the kibosh on Lisa Marie's palimony lawsuit. She sued the famed director, alleging that he strong-armed her into accepting more than $5.5 million to walk away from the relationship.

In true Britney style, Lisa Marie (not Presley) said, "Gimme More." She sued Burton, who directed "Batman" and "Edward Scissorhands," but today the court said the case should be dismissed. It had been scheduled to go to trial next week.

Barring a Hail Mary, she will get no more fabulous parting gifts.

2. Why should a live-in lover get anything? If this were a man, he would have gotten nothing.

6. Anybody got Lisa Marie's number? I'd love to suck those hooters of hers. Way, way foxier than Helena Bonham Carter - who I'm sure is a cool broad, but she just doesn't register on the ol' scrotum pole.

8. TYPICAL GREEDY BITCH. SOME WOMEN JUST CAN'T LET GO, THEY HAVE A PITBULL MENTALITY. SHE PROBABLY SPENT THE $5.5 MILLION ALREADY -- ON BAD MAKEUP AND HAIR PRODUCTS, AND DRUGS.

9. OMG! He gave her 5.5 million to see the back of her, for pity's sake. Doesn't she understand the concept of take the money and run?!!!! All I can say is she must be awfully hot, because brains are certainly not her strongpoint!

13. I used to like Lisa Marie. Now she's showing she's a bitter, vindictive gold-digger. Five million dollars isn't enough? Bitch, please.

Lisa Marie is pissed off Tim Burton dumped her for an actress who has actual talent, and a career not based on her BOYFRIEND supporting her for 10 years.

14. TMZ, please tell the WHOLE story.

Lisa Marie was Burton's muse and fiance for years. On the set of POTA HBC made a play for Burton, and was pretty blatant about it. Burton, being the ass he was, started an affair with HBC, and left the beautiful LM.

LM deserves more - it's not her fault that Burton dumped her for a WHORE, which is what HBC is. Also, you know HBC drank and smoked while pregnant? She's a real Angelina Jolie, a scmmy homewrecker.
