...Hunter wrote a $7,350 check from Jones' account to BALCO in 2000, according to two sources with knowledge of the check.) Jones, 28, divorced him and surprised fans when she kissed Montgomery, 29, on the finish line in Paris in September 2002 after Montgomery broke the 100-m-dash world record. Compared with track and field, Hollywood seems like a healthy environment for couples...
Montgomery is known for his cockiness, claims that his mother once chased a rabbit until its heart exploded and has ordered a vanity plate that reads 9.75, which is three-hundredths of a second under his world-record time in the 100-m dash. His Rocky-style ascent to the top of sprinting came after he gained 28 lbs. and increased his bench press by 80 lbs. in just eight weeks.

It's catnip--on Puss while tabloid TV covers the bust. The most basic Shrek joke--satirized modernity intruding on fairy-tale romance--is played in 100 variants, some of which will sail over the heads of the littlest kids in the audience (there's plenty else to keep them giggling) but will be very gratefully received...
...share of delays and construction snafus before a last-minute frenzy snapped its facilities into place in time for the 1996 Games. But the Greeks have brought their own special brand of drama. Work stoppages, the sacking of organizers, procrastination, glacier-speed planning and now a breathless dash to the finish have already made these Olympics memorable for the wrong reasons. "Let's not kid ourselves. These are the Greek Games and they're being done the Greek way," says a Greek project manager overseeing several venues south of Athens...
