Pay or Play: Dodgers' Owners Divorce Could Cost $722 Mil
Originally posted 10/20/2009 03:00PM
Forget the Los Angeles Dodgers' do-or-die battle on the diamond with the Phillies – the real action is taking place behind the scenes, as Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and his wife, Jamie, who happens to be the organization's CEO, duke it out for the future of the $722 million team.
And it looks like it's going to be messy.
At a recent playoff game, the couple shared the owners' box, but insisted on sitting in different rows. And sources say that the only thing the two can agree on is that they want to separate.
Among the issues in contention: who actually owns the Dodgers, who's the boss and how the franchise might be divided in a divorce. Jamie hasn't indicated she may step down as CEO, and no one thinks Frank wants to sell.

Originally posted 10/19/2009 06:30PM
Eddie Furlong's estranged wife is seeking to dismiss the restraining order she had placed against him, telling PEOPLE the pair are working to keep their split amicable.
"We're actually friends. We're not having a bad divorce," Rachael Kneeland says. "We just ran into some issues. Eddie did some things to prove to me that he's back on track with his life and that's all I wanted."
Furlong, who has a 3-year-old son with Kneeland, tells PEOPLE in a statement: "I am glad all of the drama has subsided."
"Unfortunately, custody battles can get nastier than I ever imagined," the Terminator 2 star adds. "All allegations have been withdrawn and Rachael and I are continuing to move forward in settling our differences and getting on with our lives. The most important thing to me is my son, Ethan, and being the best parent I can."
Kneeland stated in court documents last month that the actor's "drug use has escalated along with attacking me and threatening my life." She added Furlong had recently been hospitalized "on lockdown" after he threatened suicide.

After three years of dating, celebrity chef Todd English called it quits with fiancée Erica Wang just one week before their planned $150,000 wedding at New York's lavish St. Regis Hotel.
Speaking to PEOPLE, a tearful English described the relationship between the two of them as "volatile and vicious," accusing Wang of "physical and verbal abuse" that reached fever pitch when she reportedly hit him in the eye last month.

A source close to English, however, also explains, "He had other girlfriends."

Chris Evert and Greg Norman: What Went Wrong?
Originally posted 10/10/2009 09:05AM
They seemed to have it all: a passionate courtship, romantic trips around the world, and each other's undying support. But just 15 months after marrying, tennis star Chris Evert and golfing great Greg Norman – who left their longtime spouses for each other in 2006 – called it quits last week, begging the question: Why?
Friends close to the high-profile sports legends, both 54, say many of their problems involved interactions with each other's children. Evert has three sons, Alex, 17, Nicky, 15, and Colton, 13, with ex-husband Andy Mill, the retired Olympic skier who was best friends with Norman; Norman has two children, Morgan-Leigh, 26, and Greg Jr., 23, with ex-wife Laura Andrassy.
"Greg got in between Andy and his sons, which caused a great deal of turmoil for Chris," says a close source. "On one occasion, Andy flew from his Aspen home to Boca Raton to spend time with his sons, and before Andy even touched ground, Greg whisked Nicky off in his private jet. He took him to his own ranch in Colorado, leaving a very unhappy Andy crying on the phone to his son." Another time, Norman told Colton that he needed to spend time with him instead of going to a planned meeting with his own father.
