| Casey Kasem |
A Los Angeles
judge declined to create an emergency conservatorship for Casey Kasem, but
ordered that a doctor investigate the radio personality and voice actor's
diagnosis, prognosis and state of mind as his Parkinson's disease progresses.
Casey Kasem's wife Jean insists she's taking great care of her ailing hubby, right down to giving him manicures and pedicures.
Jean has just filed legal docs through her lawyer, Marshall Grossman, -- docs obtained by TMZ -- challenging the attempt by Casey's 3 kids from a prior marriage to win a conservatorship. The kids say Jean has not allowed them to see their dad -- who has advanced Parkinson's and early onset of dementia -- for months and they fear he's not being properly cared for.
Jean says the kids are ingrates who have sponged off their dad for years. Jean says she and the 81-year-old Casey have loaned the kids approx $100k-$150k per year over many years to pay for their school, housing, cars, parking tickets, travel and other stuff.
Kasem, 81, gained fame with his radio music countdown shows, "American Top 40" and "Casey's Top 40," and was also the voice of Shaggy in the cartoon "Scooby Doo."
According to the AP, Kasem has been checked out by police detectives and social services workers, said Marshall Grossman, an attorney for Kasem's wife of 33 years, Jean.
