Sing Pao (in Chinese)
As the news is in Chinese, I have translated it into English:
Ken's divorced wife works in Ginza night club now
After getting divorced, Ken's divorced wife, Yumiko, so as to avoid from creditors, is resigned from the membership night club in which she has been working for many years. She is now working in a night club in Ginza. The owner, Ms A, of one night club in Akasaka said Yumiko has been ask for money to pay for the divorce case.
But when Ms A heard from the lawyers that Yumiko asked for money for some other purpose, Ms A asked Yumiko again. Then Yumiko suddenly resigned. Ms A said, Ken Watanabe gives money to Yumiko every month, and with Yumiko��s own salary, Yumiko should get enough money for her living.
Yumiko has been absence from duty so as to avoid creditors. Ms A has suggested her to declare bankrupt, but Yumiko refused to do so.
When Yumiko is being interviewed, she said she borrow money is solely for the divorce case. And she resigned was to start a new life.
As Ken is now in LA for the movies, he did not aware of Yumiko��s situation. However, Ken still found some time to meet his daughter, An Watanabe.
