This week, a single mother was arrested and charged with harassing and stalking Yankees general manager Brian Cashman amidst her claims that she had been Cashman's mistress since last April. Cashman's life has gotten increasingly messy since then: his wife has filed for divorce, the Post has been trailing him everywhere he goes, and now, emails between him and alleged mistress Louise Neathway have been released, including one which contained an ultrasound picture "proving" Cashman got her pregnant: “What Brian Cashman has done to me is both incomprehensible and unforgivable...I am going to the press and informaing [sic] them of the preganacy [sic] and the abortion. And everything else.”

Area Woman Hires Cheap Divorce "Lawyer," Ends Up A Bigamist
A Manhattan woman has wound up married to two men after hiring a fake divorce lawyer who allegedly failed to get her divorced. Jennifer LaCarriere tells the Post that in August 2010 she went to Express Bankruptcy and Divorce, a so-called "divorce mill" on West 38th Street, and paid $535 to get divorced. But believe it or not, "Express" is not the most reputable law firm in town, and the "attorney" she hired, Leomarys Alvarez, isn't actually an attorney. In fact, she's not even a notary public, even though LaCarriere claims she said she could notarize all the documents needed for a divorce.

The number of divorces in New York took a big jump this year, but it wasn't because of gay marriage (they only just got hitched—give 'em time!).

Uh, thanks Mr. Madoff? One divorcé may now recoup millions from his divorce settlement because of the Ponzi schemer.

Jilted Husband On "Self-Serving, Narcissistic" Times Vows Couple
The saga of the controversial NY Times Weddings "Vows" column continues to rage on—this time, the ex-husband of the bride (you know, the guy who was dumped because his wife fell in love with a married father from their kid's pre-K) is talking! Bob Ennis is upset at ex-wife Carol Anne Riddell, her new husband John Partilla AND the NY Times, telling Forbes' Jeff Bercovici, "No, I wasn’t contacted or interviewed or given any opportunity to opine on any of it, including having my seven-year-old daughter’s picture in the paper. The primary story here is not that interesting. People lie and cheat and steal all the time. That’s a fact of life. But rarely does a national news organization give them an unverified megaphone to whitewash it."

So, you know that now-controversial NY Times Weddings "Vows column" about the couple who met each other at their kids' pre-kindergarten class while they were married to other people? The Times even opened up commenting for a while, but then had to stop accepting them (example: "If the couple had a sense of decency and wished to truly respect the feelings of their ex-spouses, they would have denied themselves the pleasure of having their 15 minutes of fame in the New York Times. Their choice to satisfy their own vanity is very telling.").
