Terrence Howard in court trying to undo divorce agreement

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Terrence Howard agreed to a 2012 divorce settlement with his ex-wife after she threatened to leak details about his sex life, his attorney said Tuesday at a hearing on the actor’s efforts to overturn the agreement.

Attorney Brian Kramer later played audio of a 2011 telephone conversation between Howard and his ex-wife Michelle Ghent in which she said she would sell information if he didn’t pay her.

“I will (expletive) bury you deep within the ground,” Ghent is heard saying on the recording.

She said she had video of Howard singing naked in the bathroom and could sell the footage for $2 million. She also referred to alleged affairs by the actor and said she had called the Internal Revenue Service to report improper deductions.

The Oscar-nominated actor and star of the hit television series “Empire” is expected to testify during the proceeding, which could end Monday.

Howard and Ghent were married in 2010 and she filed for divorce a year later.

The dispute has prompted 20th Century Fox, which produces “Empire,” to seek guidance on where to send his earnings from the show.

Howard received an Oscar nomination for his starring role in 2005’s “Hustle & Flow.”

Little League claims fraud, cover-up by Jackie Robinson West

CHICAGO (AP) — Court documents from Little League International contend Chicago’s Jackie Robinson West baseball team was stripped of its national championship because of “fraud and cover-up.”

Little League filed documents last week in response to a lawsuit by Jackie Robinson West seeking documentation for why the league took the action.

The court filings indicate maps submitted in September and December by Jackie Robinson West differed from the original boundary map submitted in May when the team began tournament play.

Little League contends district administrators met with officials from surrounding leagues “to get them to retroactively agree to boundary changes” so players would not be found ineligible.

In a statement Tuesday, team attorney Victor Henderson said legal disputes don’t take place in one inning, adding “the game is far from over.”
