Almost exactly three months after accusing ex Melissa Etheridge of leaving her and their children strapped for cash, Tammy Lynn Michaels has taken to her blog to say nothing’s changed.
In a Saturday post titled, “just a cornucopia of thoughts,” Michaels wrote, “‘pays all the bills’/not entirely true/’pays all the bills she chooses to pay’/’pays all the bills her people thinks/are important enough to pay’/is more accurate.”
Etheridge and Michaels split in April after nearly nine years together. Michaels, 35, is fighting for full custody of their twins, a son and a daughter who turn four on Oct. 17, though Etheridge, 49, has filed for joint custody.
The former “Popular” star then recounted having no money to purchase food.
“when i went to get cash/just last week/for the three of us to eat/nothing” Michaels declared in her usual poetic style. “today i was shopping for birthday decor/4th next sunday!/little cash for lunch?/nope- not enough funds/no food.”
Michaels’ attorney, Steven Knowles, told People.com in July that his client “literally … has no cash.”
Etheridge’s legal team soon struck back, dismissing the claim and explaining that Michaels and their kids are “being completely supported by Melissa.”
In the new blog post, Michaels accused Etheridge’s attorney of lying and calls out her ex for not speaking for herself.
“she plays the games with her lawyer now/by being quiet,” Michaels wrote.
The actress turned more philosophical towards the end.
“and i don’t think i know what love is, or a promise. and romance?” she wrote. “smoke and mirrors, ladies!!! smoke and mirrors! don’t fall for it! it’s all/a line up for bull that’ll leave you with saggy boobs and stretch marks/ in the end.”

Fifteen years before his 1981 hit “Jessie’s Girl” made him a household name, rocker Rick Springfield tried to commit suicide over his looks.
He writes in his new memoir, “Late, Late at Night” (Simon & Schuster) that he tried to hang himself at age 17 when he felt “as ugly as the ass end of a female baboon at mating season.”
He hung for about 20 seconds from a ceiling beam but miraculously, the noose undid itself. “From this point on, music will become my salvation and save me from most serious self-inflicted harm,” he writes.

Courteney Cox and David Arquette announced Monday they have been separated for some time but said they remain committed parents and “best friends.”
The actors released a joint statement announcing what they are calling a trial separation.
“The reason for this separation is to better understand ourselves and the qualities we need in a partner and for our marriage,” the statement said. “We remain best friends and responsible parents to our daughter and we still love each other deeply.”
The statement was released shortly after In Touch Weekly reported the couple’s split.
Cox, 46, and Arquette, 39, met on the set of the film “Scream” in 1996 and married three years later. They have a 6-year-old daughter together.
The actors’ statement Monday said they were comfortable with the boundaries they had set up and hoped they would be treated with dignity by friends, family and the media.
While the pair are inserting some space into their personal lives, their careers remain intertwined.
Cox and Arquette are costarring in the fourth installment of the “Scream” series, which is due out next year.
Cox gained widespread fame for her role on the comedy “Friends” and currently stars in ABC’s “Cougar Town.” Arquette is an executive producer of that show and has appeared in numerous films, including “Never Been Kissed” and “3000 Miles to Graceland.”

Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Barrosa are expecting a baby girl.
The couple – who already have two daughters, four-year-old Isabella and two-year-old Gia, as well as Luciana’s daughter Alexis, 11, from a previous marriage – have revealed they are “thrilled” to be adding another girl to their brood.
Matt said: “It’s a girl! I’m thrilled. I just love my kids so much. I’m anxious to meet her.”
The Oscar-winning actor admitted while he doesn’t think he is pampering his pregnant wife enough at the moment, living in New York means it is relatively easy to pander to her cravings.
He added: “I’m probably not pampering her enough. The one good thing I’ll say about living in New York as a dad is like, whatever craving she has, not only is it less than a block away but most times they’ll deliver. So it makes it really easy.”
The 40-year-old star also explained that while he has achieved a huge amount of success in his career, being a dad is the most “exquisite” experience of his life.
Matt told OK! magazine: “It’s great, it’s really incredible. And just completely different from any other experience I’ve ever had in my life! It’s like relearning life. It’s actually kind of amazing. It’s just really exquisite.”

Britney Spears leaves the house so much braless so much so that earlier this year, her father Jamie banned the singer from going braless after tiring of seeing revealing pictures of his daughter.
Britney finally heeded his warnings yesterday, but broke a fashion rule by wearing a very visible hot pink and black bra under a strapless dress.
Visible bra straps are almost as much of a faux pas as no bra at all, and ruined what would have been an otherwise stylish warm-weather outfit of a sundress and platform wedges.
Her situation was not helped by her tangled hair, a result of her terrible hair extensions.

The difference between her natural and fake hair was obvious as the 28-year-old went shopping and stopped by Starbucks in Calabasas, California with her bodyguards.
When she twisted her long mane up into a casual bun, the amateur extensions were clearly visible.
Her style crimes come as her hugely successful cameo episode of the hit show Glee was blasted by do-good groups.
The Parents Television Council (PTC) deemed the episode the Worst TV Show of the Week due to what they described as the broadcast’s ‘explicit sexual content’.


A message posted on the organization’s website denounced the episode’s ‘skimpy outfits’ and ‘sultry grinds’ during her hit song I’m A Slave 4 U.
The episode, which earned the show its highest ratings ever with 13.3million viewers, featured brief appearances by the singer as a fantasy for the McKinley High Glee club singers who hallucinated about her while under anaesthesia at the dentist – played by John Stamos.
The episode – titled Britney/Brittany also featured numbers by cast member Brittany – played by former Beyonce back-up dancer Heather Morris – dressed in some of Britney’s raunchier outfits.
In the re-creation for the 2001 Madonna duet Me Against The Music, the PTC said the interpretation included ‘plenty of girl-girl bumping and grinding’.
It was not only the content, but Britney’s involvement in the first place, which drew criticism from the PTC, who found Britney inappropriate as a role model for the show’s young viewers.
‘A scary thought considering that the mostly young teen audience basically witnessed an endorsement of narcotics abuse, public masturbation, and school-sanctioned burlesque. But perhaps most troubling is the deification of a troubled pop star into a symbol of empowerment and self-esteem.
‘Considering her stints in rehab, her very public breakdowns, and her questionable parenting skills, there is absolutely no way Spears should be considered a role model.’
