Dennis Hopper's wife Victoria is being sued for allegedly stealing valuable artwork from the actor in his dying days, according to new court papers obtained by RadarOnline.com.

In a file lodged with the LA Superior Court, the screen legend's estate accused Victoria Duffy of surreptitiously removing items from his home.

"On at least two occasions in late 2009, respondent with or without the assistance of other had to access to and entered the decedent's residence, studios, and other real property," the Dennis Hopper Trust told court.

"Wrongfully and in bad faith, (she) removed certain pieces of art, and other personal property, the extent of which is not yet known."

In an affidavit filed before his death, Hopper had claimed that Duffy "literally stole from me" and "refused to tell... where the property was when I (Hopper) asked her, and then left town."

At the time, Hopper estimated the missing art, including a portrait of himself by Andy Warhol and sculptures by Robert Graham and Banksy, were worth more than $1.5 million.

Hopper died earlier this year, and at the time of his death, he was involved in bitter divorce proceedings from Victoria.

Hopper's Trust wants a Los Angeles judge to determine title and require transfer of personal property back to the Co-Trustees.

A pre-nup submitted to the court reveals Duffy agreed "the terms of the premarital agreement also provide that any assets purchases or acquired by the Decedent during the marriage are his separate property."

"The Decedent funded his Trust with separate property assets, including those pieces of art and other personal property that has been misappropriated by Respondent as set forth herein."

It Bag Alert: Halle's New Easy Rider

Halle Berry recently announced that she parted ways with baby-daddy Gabrielle Aubrey, but the gorgeous actress hasn’t let a little a breakup get in the way of her fashionably fierce status.  Over the weekend Halle was spotted catching a flight out of LAX carrying a brand new bag, Rebecca Minkoff’s Easy Rider ($550), a totally chic studded hobo bag from the designer’s Spring 2010 Collection.

We love the rock star feel of this bag, and the fact that compared to most other It Bags, it is a good value!  If you are not a “hobo” girl, the Easy Rider is also available in a tote, a “morning after” bag and a clutch.

The Easy Rider Date Clutch ($375) is a favorite of Krysten Ritter, who rocked it to the Bent to Learn charity event in NYC late April.  Like Halle’s bag, it featured studs, zippers and tassels, but the chic clutch comes with a convertible/removable strap, so it is basically three bags in one.
