Steve Phillips' Caught in Another Sex Scandal, This Time at ESPN
Steve Phillips, the former general manager of the New York Mets who admitted to having sex with a team employee and was sued for sexual harrassment, apparently has not learned his lesson. Now an analyst for ESPN, Phillips is embroiled in yet another sex scandal after admitting to having an affair with an assistant who stalked his wife.
When Phillips dumped 22-year-old production assistant Brooke Hundley, she reportedly made repeated phone calls to his wife, Marni, saying things like "We both can't have him." She is also said to have written his wife a graphic letter describing their relationship.
In a statement to police, Phillips said:
“I have extreme concerns about the health and safety of my kids and myself."
Phillips said that the affair with Hundley occured this past summer, and that he told his wife and police about it. Marni is also reported to have told police that she received "harrassing phone calls and text messages" from a woman claiming to have information about her husband.
Phillips is being sued for divorce by his wife. The couple have four sons together.

'Real Housewives of New York' Star Bethenny Frankel Confirms She is Pregnant

The rumors are true. Despite denials from her camp on Monday, Bethenny Frankel confirmed on Tuesday that she is about two months along.
Speaking with People.com, Frankel said:
"It's premature to be telling people this. It's not like, ‘Did I Get Botox?' It's not the way I wanted it to get out," she told People. "I haven't even gone through my first trimester. We haven't even heard the heartbeat. My [fiance's]parents didn't even know."
Frankel says she was forced into revealing the news after a post on PerezHilton.com on Monday spilled the beans.
The reality TV star is currently engaged to Jason Hoppy. She said that they are both "so excited" about the baby and are pretty surprised that they were able to conceive so quickly given their ages:
"I got to be honest, we are both feeling kind of proud of ourselves," she said. "We are both 38 and we were like, ‘Listen, your fish can swim and I am fertile.' So that's exciting."
The couple plans to wed before the baby is born.
Frankel recently announced her own spin-off show which will air on Bravo entitled "Skinny & the City". It will follow her and Hoppy as they plan their wedding. The PerezHilton.com source said:
Balloon Boy Family Could Face Criminal Charges
The sheriff's department and child protection services are taking a much closer look at the Heenes family after their six-year-old son said that they had pulled the now-infamous balloon stunt "for a show."
At a press conference Saturday morning, Sheriff Jim Alderen said:
"I would say this not a typical American family. They engeage in behaviors a lot of us don't. Obviously, it's very different family dynamics than most of us experience."
The 6-year-old was interviewed on television, and said that he had stayed in hiding because he thought they were "doing this for a show." This remark has raised quite a bit of interest and gives some creedence to the possibility of the entire thing being a hoax.
Alderen continued:
"We want to reinterview them, clarify that, and put that to rest."
If it turns out that the balloon incident was in fact a hoax, Alderen assures that justice will be sought:
"If this turns out to be a false report, we certainly would seek criminal restitution. But we would have to be convinced, and it would have to be proven in court, not just based on speculation."
"If this is determined to be a hoax, the only thing we really have is making a false report to authorities, which is a misdemeanor."
Holyfield Forgives Tyson for Biting His Ear

Former heavyweight boxing champ Evander Holyfield has forgiven his rival, Mike Tyson, who bit his ear in their 1997 title fight. The two made-up on Friday during an appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
When asked if he was still missing part of his ear, Holyfield pointed and said, "Just a little bit." Tyson poured on the praise, stating:
"This is a beautiful guy," he said, holding Holyfield's arm. "I just want you to know it's been a pleasure passing through life, being acquainted with you."
Tyson shocked the world on June 28, 1997 during the match at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where he bit Holyfield's ear twice, and was subsequently disqualified. At the time, Tyson said he "snapped" and issued an apology to his fans and disfigured rival. He said he would seek professional help to understand what happened.
Tyson told Oprah that he was not being sincere when he apologized a dozen years ago. Holyfield didn't seem to care. He said that he wanted to be with Tyson on TV to show kids caught up in violence that reconciliation is possible.
Holyfield said, "We can come together. We know you can come together."
Lindsay Lohan's Probation Extended Another Year

Take one look at the gossip mags from the past year, and it's pretty obvious that Lindsay Lohan is in no way, shape, or form on the straight and narrow. On Friday, she made an appearance in court on charges stemming from a 2007 drunk driving arrest and conviction. LiLo's probation was extended for another year as the judge told her to "get serious" about her alcohol education program.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel ordered the actress to appear in court after receving a report from probation officers that Lohan did not attend alcohol education classes in a timely manner.
Revel told Lohan:
"This has to be a top priority. I would love to congratulate you rather than admonish you."
Lohan's lawyer blamed her absences on program administrators' "failure to communicate" with her. Despite LiLo's insistence that she needed to be in Texas for a film no one knows about, the judge extended her probation for another year.

When Elizabeth learned that Rielle was planning to move to North Carolina to raise her daughter near the the disgraced former senator and presidential candidate, she flew into rage, says the National Enquirer. Insides say that the news drove her into a violent frenzy, and that she berated Edwards' former campaign aide, Andrew Young.
She also reported demanded that John give her Rielle's phone number.
A source close to the family said:
"When Elizabeth found out Rielle had shown up in North Carolina to look at houses, she went ballistic!
She demanded that John give her Rielle's cell phone number. John was in the room when Elizabeth called Rielle and screamed into the phone, 'How dare you move here?'
Without giving Rielle a chance to respond, Elizabeth continued her tirade, shouting, 'Leave my family alone!'
Then, clearly beside herself with rage, she blurted out, 'I hope you die!' and slammed down the phone.'"
TLC Sues Jon Gosselin for Breach of Contract

Reality TV dad Jon Gosselin of the show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" is in some hot water this morning. On Friday morning, TLC filed a lawsuit in Maryland against him for breaching his contract. The network claims that Gosselin hasn't kept up his end of its exclusive deal by allegedly being paid to appear on other shows and making unauthorized disclosures about the show.
That's not the only legal issue Jon,32, is facing, however.
Thanks to the Gosselin's former nanny who revealed to RadarOnline.com on Thursday that Jon allegedly hacked into Kate's personal email, phone and online bank accounts, he may also be facing another legal battle with his ex. Kate, 34, read the interview with Stephanie Santoro and her attorney released a statement:
"Kate Gosselin has heard the allegations made by Stephanie Santoro that Jon Gosselin ‘hacked' into her e-mails, phone, and online accounts, and she is profoundly disturbed by them.

Anna Nicole Smith's Lesbian Love with Doctor

On Thursday, a federal prosecutor claimed that a female doctor funneled drugs to Anna Nicole Smith to fuel their lesbian love affair. Los Angeles District Attorney Renee Rose made the startling accusation during a preliminary hearing against the former Playmate's lawyer and two doctors, who are charged with conspiring to illegally supply drugs to the model.
The three individuals - Howard K. Stern, Dr.Khristine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor - have all pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Rose asserted:
"There was a sexual relationship that happened in the past and possibly carrying into the future. It was the motive for Dr. Eroshevich to provide excessive medication to Anna Nicole Smith."
"There are ulterior motives for Dr. Eroshevich's actions. That medicine keeps her addicted, so Dr. Eroshevich becomes the most important person in her life. She keeps her addicted."
The allegation came during questioning of Smith's bodyguard, Maurice "Moe" Brighthaupt.
Sean Carney, another prosecutor, added that the DA would call experts on medical ethics to comment on the doctor's alleged breakdown of doctor-patient relationships:
