ABC televison was shot down in court today by the estranged hubby of Kate Walsh.
The judge ruled Alex Young can make ABC Prez Stephen McPherson sit for a deposition, and answer all sorts of questions about Walsh's financial prospects at ABC -- pilots, development deals, etc.
Walsh and Young were only together as husband and wife for 14 months, but it's turning into one of the most bitter divorces in Hollywood.
ABC claims Young is harassing her and ABC and the motive is $$$.
And here's the best quote from the ABC lawyer: "It's as if Manny Ramirez was getting divorced and the first deposition they want to take is the president of ESPN."
The judge disagreed, so now Young's lawyer can grill the ABC honcho.

Kate Walsh's estranged husband will not take no for an answer. He's filed new court papers asking to grill Kate's boss -- the Prez of ABC -- under oath.
Alex Young is now responding to ABC -- the network claims Young is harassing them and should be blocked from deposing ABC President Stephen McPherson about Kate's salary and earning potential.
Walsh and Young are in a bitter battle over money -- the irony ... they were only married 14 months before separating, but Young thinks he's entitled to a chunk of money Kate may be hiding.
But in papers filed yesterday by Young's lawyer, Jeff Sturman, he strongly suggests Walsh may be in for a big ABC payday and he's entitled to half. Specifically Young wants to know not just what Kate is scoring for "Private Practice" but also future deals, including bonuses and new projects. As Young's lawyer put it, "Ms. Walsh is not a garden variety employee who received a weekly paycheck..."
Under California law they're entitled to a 50/50 split of earnings during the marriage.

The head honcho at Disney/ABC has been dragged into Kate Walsh's bitter divorce, and he's gone to court asking for protection.
We've learned Walsh's estranged husband, Alex Young, has subpoenaed Stephen McPherson, President of Disney/ABC Television, for a deposition -- to testify what he knows about Kate Walsh and her finances. Disney's lawyers have filed legal papers, obtained by TMZ, asking for a court order blocking any such depo.
Young believes Walsh is not coming clean with all the assets acquired during their 14-month marriage. Young's lawyer, Jeff Sturman, fired off the subpoena to McPherson, claiming he has "unique" knowledge about Walsh's finances since she works for him as the star of "Private Practice."
Disney lawyers have fired back that Young is "harassing" McPherson, "because at the the time of Ms. Walsh acquiring the role on 'Private Practice,' Mr. McPherson was not running ABC Studios."
Disney is willing to send an underling to the depo. We've learned Young has also subpoenaed financial docs from Disney.
Disney and Young will fight it out in court on July 8.

Kate Walsh's accounting firm did not get the protective order it was after -- the judge felt it wasn't necessary to order estranged hubby Alex Young to stop demanding financial info.
Young has been on the firm's ass, demanding to know exactly how much he's owed for the house he and Kate purchased together. Fact is -- the house has gone down in value since they bought it in 2007.
Alex has not only made repeated demands on the firm, but today in court Kate's lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser, said he's been on ABC network's ass as well, demanding financial info. Wasser said ABC will be asking for a protective order against Young. Famous pit bull lawyer Marty Singer (one of Walsh's lawyer's) will also ask for a protective order this morning.
Young's lawyer, Jeff Sturman, told us, "The judge found there was no basis for a protective order ... that the accounting firm filed it's motion prematurely and without attempting to informally resolve matters. And the accounting firm was required to pay approximately $6,100 in Young's fees."
The couple was only married for 14 months before separating.

Kate Walsh's estranged hubby, Alex Young, has just filed legal papers asking a judge NOT to grant an order blocking his efforts to get financial info from Kate's accounting firm.
The accounting firm has asked for the order, arguing that it has given Young all the info he needs to proceed in the divorce, and he's harassing them.
Young says during his 14 month marriage, they made several hundred thousand dollars in improvement to their home and they purchased more than $800,000 in furniture.
He says when he moved all he had was the clothing on his back. He says he's been asking for info about the money sunk into the house and he says he was told the firm was siding with Walsh, not him.
Young says his accountant caused him "overwhelming stress," adding the accounting firm is trying to smear him.
Story developing ...

Here's the house that has triggered the epic fight in the divorce between Kate Walsh and Alex Young. Alex wants to know how much money he should get from the property. But here's the deal -- they bought it for $4.95 mil in 2007 -- but It's now only worth an estimated $3.6 mil. So according to our math, Alex is SOL.
By the way ... Kate put down the lion's share of the down payment and he left her with the mortgage and the bills.

Kate Walsh is drawing a line in the sand with estranged hubby Alex Young. We've just obtained legal papers in which Walsh's lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser, has requested a trial date in their divorce -- always a bad sign.
As we reported this AM, Young is gunning for info about the house they bought together, just before they tied the knot. The marriage lasted only 14 months, but it's gotten ugly.
By getting a trial date, the clock is ticking for Kate and Alex to either come to terms or go before a judge. We know Walsh feels as if Young is harassing her people for financial information she says he already has.
Young's lawyer says the case "is no where near ready for trial" but thinks it's gonna settle.

They were only a married couple for 14 months, but the nasty divorce between Kate Walsh and Alex Young has just gotten uglier.
We've obtained legal papers filed last Friday by Young, who claims the accounting firm he and Walsh used has turned on him by refusing to ante up a full accounting of joint assets. But wait till you hear what they are arguing over.
London & Co., the accounting firm, filed legal papers earlier this month, essentially asking a judge to tell Young to get lost. The firm wants a protective order against Young, claiming it has given him all the financial info he needs but he keeps making more demands. Now Young's lawyer is fighting the protective order, claiming London & Co. is acting like a P.R. firm for Walsh and that the protective order reads like a "press release to benefit one client, Ms. Walsh."
Young says a month before they got married back in 2007, they bought a multi-million dollar house together and furnished it with expensive stuff, and London & Co. refuses to give him an accounting. But we know what went down -- fact is, Kate made the lion's share of the down payment and the house has gone down in value since they bought it -- so there are no profits to split. Plus, he walked out on Kate, leaving her with a huge mortgage and all the monthly expenses.
So why is Young making such a big stink over assets that are pretty clean? It's a little perplexing. It's not like he needs the dough. We know he makes more than a million bucks a year as a bigwig at FOX. She makes around $3 mil a year on "Private Practice" and other projects.
So let's review. He leaves her, sticks her with the mortgage, he makes a bundle, but he's dragging out the divorce like a remake of "War of the Roses." So, we ask, what's the deal?"

Kate Walsh and Alex Young were married for a measly 14 months before separating -- which is probably why they tried to sneak the divorce papers through the court system by listing their names as "A.M. Young" and "K.E. Walsh."
A.M. filed the papers on Tuesday in L.A. County Superior Court, and checked the box for "irreconcilable differences."

It was 80 degrees and muggy in Manhattan yesterday, but it sure was freezing over at "The Late Show with David Letterman" -- and we don't mean the infamously cold Ed Sullivan Theater.
First, Kevin Smith showed up in his trademark floor-length coat-cape, and obligingly posed with fans and signed autographs.

Kate Walsh, the redheaded star of "Grey's Anatomy's" new spin-off, "Private Practice," gave new hubby Alex Young a private anatomy lesson at their L.A. abode. McSteamy!
Walsh, who married Young in Ojai, Calif. last weekend, let it all hang out in a baby blue string bikini, and was spotted chillaxing, drink in hand, on the couple's front lawn. Here's one practice she shouldn't keep private!

Still stunning Cindy Crawford and her team of mini models visited Cross Creek's Pet Headquarters in Malibu. Meow!
Cirque du Soleil performed at the Great Western Forum, which hosted a homeless looking Judd Nelson, showgirl Gina Gershon -- wearing a skirted kimono that displayed her sexy stems -- and Criss Angel arrived lickin' on a lollipop -- a parting gift from Britney, perhaps?
Although it looks like they're filming a porno, a bathrobed Kate Walsh and Taye Diggs chatted between scenes of their TV show, "Private Practice." And no, it's not a porno.
Spitting Canadian Avril Lavigne left Koi looking sad and alone ... no surprise there. At Geisha House, Rob Zombie and wife Sheri Moon signed autographs and Barker Carey Babe Gabrielle Tuite displayed her beauty secrets: lots of sweat and make-up! Come on down -- and wash up!
Sheryl Crow did her best Heather Mills impression while leaving Il Sole with Eva Longoria, and Golden Brooks went searching for snacks after visiting Vice. Bon appetit!
All this and more in today's young and hip edition of Star Catcher!

"Grey's Anatomy" starlet Sara Ramirez got her groove on to J.Lo's "Get Right" -- by dancing on a table and hiking up her dress at TAO in Las Vegas on Saturday. McSteamy!
The 31-year-old Tony winner jumped onto the catwalk at the Venetian hotel club, while celebrating at former co-star Kate Walsh's bachelorette party. Girls gone wild!
Sources tell us Ramirez, Walsh and 15 girlfriends partied into the AM, after gorging on platters of sushi, Kobe beef and chicken pad thai. Is there a doctor in the house?!

Looks like Dr. Addison Shepherd won't have to deal with Meredith Grey's whining much longer -- as Kate Walsh's "Grey's Anatomy" spinoff was all but confirmed through the in-your-face interrogation tactics of Ellen Degeneres.
Not content with waiting for upfronts, Ellen made a surprise phone call to ABC President Steve McPherson during a taping of her show yesterday, and out asked flat-out if Walsh's untitled project will be officially green-lit for a full season -- while a visibly embarassed Walsh watched in subdued horror.
The ABC honcho strung Kate along for a bit, joking that "she hasn't worked out very well on the air for us," then he let it slip that he "thinks she's in pretty good shape," ... and he wasn't talking about her killer stems.
