  • Angel, whose real name is Christopher Sarantakos, was in Nassau County divorce court on Friday for proceedings by Joanne Sarantakos of Long Island, N.Y. She is accusing him of mental cruelty and abandonment during their five-year marriage.

    Her attorney, Dominic Barbara, told Newsday that he will subpoena Cameron Diaz, who has been dating Angel, the next time she steps foot in New York and ask about gifts Angel might have given her.

    Angel approached his estranged wife and her family and offered to shake hands with her, but she and the family loudly rebuffed him, according to reports.

    Angel is in the process of putting together his illusionist show at the Luxor with Cirque du Soleil. It's Cirque's first collaboration with a headliner.
