"Delighted." is just one adjective Jim McGreevey's lawyers used yesterday when discussing the custody settlement McGreevey reached with his almost ex-wife, Dina Matos-McGreevey. The former first couple of New Jersey have been duking it out all week over their five-year old daughter, Jacqueline.

Despite the fact that these two people can't stand one another, they somehow managed to reach an agreement, although both sides remain mum on the details:

The deal regarding their 6-year-old daughter came on the third day of negotiations, which included some closed-door testimony before the judge who is attempting to avoid a divorce trial.

"She'll get a large amount of time to spend with her parents," McGreevey said of his daughter as he left the courthouse escorted by two uniformed sheriff's officers.

Moments later, lawyers for both McGreevey and his wife stood together before television cameras and reporters, saying they could not disclose terms of the custody agreement because it was confidential.

"It was an amicable settlement," said John N. Post, who represents Dina Matos McGreevey.

You know what won't be confidential? All the hearings on gay Jim McGreevey and wife Dina's alleged threesomes with the former Governor's driver, Teddy Pedersen. That shit's going to be way public - and we're way happy to hear it.

Drama continues next Monday.

Hallelujah! Today marks day one of the McGreeveys' divorce proceedings.

The majority of the action will revolve around whether or not former NJ Governor Jim McGreevey committed fraud by hiding his homosexuality from wife, Dina. Dina says "yes," but Jimmy Boy reminds her of their mutual trysts with a campaign driver. At stake: the duo's definitely doomed daughter, Jacqueline.

As you can see, cartoonist Sean Delonas offered an imagined ending to this drama. Sadly, we fear the McGreeveys won't stop until poor Jacqueline's nothing but tabloid pulp.

Get excited, readers! The McGreevey divorce trial begins this week and we can be sure to hear all sorts of salacious, nauseating details of how the former NJ Governor and his Missus got down in the bedroom.

Dina Matos-McGreevey alleges that hubby Jim duped her into marriage by lying about being a bit bent. Jim McGreevey's lawyer, Stephen Haller, has already leaked how they'll be contesting Dina's allegations. And it ain't pretty:

Plaintiff [Mr. McGreevey] will testify at trial that he needed to have a disrobed male present in the room with them when the parties had sexual relations in order to maintain an erection.
…
This tends to prove that plaintiff was at least bisexual, a fact which should have been obvious to defendant prior to the marriage.

Will the day come when we're not fascinated by disgraced politicians' penises? Probably not. Or, at least, we hope not!

McGreevey divorce proceedings begin on May 6, but the drama's already started.

Dina Matos-McGreevey and her lawyers are fighting former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey over "salacious" testimony from Teddy Pedersen, Mr. McGreevey's campaign driver who claims he and the McGreeveys had a number of threesomes.

Neil Patrick Harris ain't a fan of tricky "stunt casting," but the handsome homo has a thing for magic tricks. The NY Times' "A Night Out With…" column follows Harris and friends to Los Angeles' Magic Castle, where Harris proclaims another love: Scooby-Doo. Ain't that adorable!?

The actor also wants to make sure the world knows he's not a hooker-buying coke tooter.

…Harris was trying to distance himself from the character he plays in the “Harold & Kumar” movies — even though he plays himself.
…
To distinguish between Mr. Harris’s authentic and fictional selves, [friend Lori] Medlin pointed out that in real life Mr. Harris has never snorted cocaine off a woman’s behind. “Not this year!” chimed Mr. Harris and Ms. Baeling, in unison. Ba-dum-bum!

She was referring to one of Mr. Harris’s scenes in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, a 2004 dark comedy. In the sequel, Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantánamo Bay, Mr. Harris brands a prostitute with his name while hallucinating on magic mushrooms.

We actually kind of wish NPH were like that. We homos need more bat shit crazy celebrities on our team. And, no, we don't count Jim McGreevey.

NY Post 'toonist Sean Delonas has garnered gay ire for his unflattering portrayal of a super-sized Rosie O'Donnell and a sheep-loving Jim McGreevey, so we're surprising his take on pregnant trans man Thomas Beatie actually isn't offensive.

Old dogs can learn new tricks!

Jim McGreevey's a winner! For the time being, at least.

Document sealing Judge Karen Cassidy ruled in the former NJ Governor's favor yesterday, dismissing Dina Matos-McGreevey's claims of emotional distress:

The judge dismissed Dina Matos McGreevey's claim of emotional distress against her estranged gay husband.

"Mr. McGreevey was not out to destroy her emotionally," Superior Court Judge Karen Cassidy said.

Cassidy said she would permit the fraud claim to continue for now, but warned, "That does not guarantee the defendant will be successful in trying her claim."

Though Mr. McGreevey didn't comment - for once! - the disgraced politico's lawyers welcome the news, saying Mrs. Matos-McGreevey should "read between the lines" with regard to the fraud claims.

Cassidy also discussed the couple's forthcoming divorce trial, which starts on May 6th, and warned the world that we're going to start hearing some pretty wild tales. More wild than all that threesome talk: "We all know what happened this week. What evidence will likely be heard in this case, this week was just the tip of the iceberg." Great! Bring it. We love the McGreevey drama more than our own mother! (Just kidding, mom!)

Homo-journo James Kirchick certainly doesn't mince words when it comes to former New Jersey governor, Jim McGreevey.

Who could forget when McGreevey stood before the press and announced his homosexuality and resignation in the same breath? Kirchick sure as shit remembers, and he'd like to remind readers of a simple fact: McGreevey's main offense is corruption, not cock sucking.

…Jim McGreevey was forced to resign for no other reason than that he was a corrupt politician. He’s more Mark Foley than Harvey Milk. That he was sleeping with a male aide is incidental to his downfall.

By conflating his political demise and his struggle to cope with homosexuality, McGreevey inadvertently hurt the cause of gay civil rights as much as any crusading, socially conservative political activist could have hoped to do. He fed the stereotype that gays are untrustworthy and self-absorbed, and that homosexuality is a personal weakness.

Yes, yes, that's all true, but, come on, you have to love McGreevey: not even the queeniest soap opera writer couldn't concoct a villain so perfectly ridiculous, revolting and wacky.

Remember when McGreevey announced his plans to become an Episcopal priest? That was some prime time shit!

Jim and Dina McGreevey's threesome scandal garnered plenty of gab this week. And now their divorce judge, Judge Karen Cassidy has taken steps to put an end to the tabloid sensation:

[Cassidy] issued an order to seal all filings, transcripts and future hearings related to the "custody and parenting time" of 6-year-old Jacqueline McGreevey. The judge even sealed the document spelling out her reasoning behind the ruling but said it was with consent of the parties.

Never fear, though, there's no gag order, so we can be sure to get all sorts of tidbits straight from the McGreevey's mouths.

And the saga continues! For those of you not keeping up - and who can blame you? - Teddy Pedersen dropped jaws yesterday when he told the press that he used to canoodle with former NJ Gov. Jim McGreevey and then-girlfriend, Dina Matos-McGreevey.

The allegations punched a big hole in Dina's story - she had no inkling of Jim's gay ways. Sensing her advantage slipping - and the press light turning - Dina issued a statement denying Pedersen's carnal claims, which in turn spurred Jim to release his own confirmatory statement, which then sparked yet another assertion from Pedersen:

Dina is still in denial. It’s time for her to face the truth. If Dina wants to take a lie detector test with me, I will sit down with her any time, any place. The only reason that I spoke to the media is because she dragged me into her divorce.

I’m not gaining anything from this. This has been the hardest time in my life. It’s not something I ever wanted to discuss with my family or anyone.
…
If she has nothing to hide why am I being subpoenaed?

Oooo, girl, that's a challenge. How long until Dina cames back out for more press? Place your bets!

Dina and Jim McGreevey are seriously the perfect couple.

First Dina accused her estranged hubby of planting Teddy Pedersen's ménage à trois allegations for "attention". Not to be outdone, former NJ governor Jim's issued a statement backing Pedersen up, pardon the pun:

In an e-mail to The Associated Press, the nation's first openly gay governor said published reports by former campaign aide Teddy Pedersen were true.
…
In his statement, McGreevey said he and his estranged wife need to move forward for the sake of their 6-year-old daughter.

"This happened, this happened in the past, and now we need to move on with our lives," McGreevey, 50, said without being specific.

Ah, now our imaginations can run wild! And it's frightening!

PS: Pedersen's girlfriend must be so proud!
