Former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey and his ex-wife Dina Matos McGreevey are making sure they're not letting the best interests of their six-year-old daughter get in the way of their bitter divorce. The publicly feuding pair were back in court yesterday, where they were excoriated by a judge. The McGreeveys split when the governor resigned amidst a sex harassment scandal in which he famously announced that he was "a gay-American.""The hatred you have for......

Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: unstable scaffolding at Manhattan's 265 West 37th St., a police car multi-vehicle accident at Thomas S. Boyland St. and Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, and a suspicious package at East 161st St. and Grand Concourse in the Bronx. How could the McGreevey saga get any more strange?

Dina Matos McGreevey appeared on Oprah today as part of the publicity tour for her book, Silent Partner: A Memoir of My Marriage, about her marriage to former NJ governor James McGreevey.

Dina McGreevey's complaints include an allegation that Jim lets their daughter sleep in the same bed he shares with his......

We can't figure this out! Apparently former NJ Governor James McGreevey wants custody of daughter Jacqueline AND child support from ex-wife Dina Matos. The last time we checked, McGreevey was living in a 17-room mansion with his boyfriend Mark O'Donnell, a financier. And he wrote a book that could pay some of the bills, we think. According to the Star-Ledger, Matos makes $82,000 as the executive director of the Columbus Hospital Foundation. She has over......

Former Goldman Sachs bigwig Jon Corzine was elected the new Governor of NJ last night, beating Republican Doug Forrester. The two millionaires viciously dueled on TV, each creating a more disturbing negative ad after the other, with Forrester reaching the pinnacle by using Corzine's ex-wife's quotes in a NY Times article against him. (At least both candidates were millionaires with millionaire funds to make these ads that basically spell out why people hate politicians.) Corzine......
