06.07.07 REALLY? FOR BRAVES TICKETS?

Elizabeth King and Charles Center, a couple who divorced in 2002, are in embroiled in a nasty custody battle… for Atlanta Braves tickets.  The couple had originally agreed to split the four tickets to 27 regular season games (he got 14, she 13) — one-third of a season package they shared with two other people.  But when one of the other partners died, King's partnership rose from 13 games to 27 games, complicating matters.

In a court hearing Tuesday — during which the couple hardly looked at each other — King testified that Center had gone out of his way this year to give her tickets to games that conflicted with her schedule. And she claimed 80 percent of the tickets he gave her were for day games, implying he'd done it because he knew she had skin cancer…

Man, sometimes the romantic spark just never dies out.  But that's not so bad.  You should've seen the gift shark he sent her for Christmas last year.  It was packed in barbed wire, anthrax, and Uranium-235.

As This Suit Is Not Black adroitly points out, the good news is that after only $13,000 in lawyers fees, the judge got sick of the case and told them to settle out of court.  Which should happen, no problem.  You know, assuming these two lovebirds don't reconcile.  I haven't seen this kind of natural sexual chemistry since Gigli.
