Dita Von Teese wants her money

Dita Von Teese is heading back to court. The burlesque dancer, real name Heather Sweet, completed her divorce in January from Marilyn Manson.  But now the burlesque goddess want to show deceased LA-based dominatrix, Cynthia Butler, who, is boss.  Dita has filed a suit claiming, the dominatrix stole her half of the rights (and cash) to “Slick City,” a movie Von Teese made in 2001 with producer Bob Zahurak.

“Dita had agreed to share profits and split the rights to her films with [Zahurak],” said Von Teese’s lawyer, Keith Fink. But after Zahurak died, Butler took over his company and now claims she alone owns the film and its proceeds. “She’s trying to take Dita’s profits,” Fink said. “Dita just wants the film back and all the past royalties.”
