RON Perelman says the only thing ex-wife Ellen Barkin’s movie company is producing are different ways to spend his money. In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, the billionaire Revlon head says Applehead I, the production company he started with Barkin and her brother, George, now serves as their personal piggy bank. The suit, which seeks unspecified money damages, charges the Barkins “covertly established” their own production company called Applehead II earlier this year, and have been using Applehead I’s cash to help run it. In the meantime, George Barkin is still pulling in his $250,000 annual salary from Applehead I, even though he’s allegedly not qualified for the job and has “rendered no or few services of value.” Ellen and oft-married Perelman ended their six-year marriage last year, with the star getting a $40 million settlement. A spokeswoman for Perelman expressed his disappointment at Ellen’s “attempts to further enrich herself” plus “her family and her friends . . . We intend to pursue our remedy in the courts.” A rep for Barkin did not return a call for comment.
