Arrow's Stephen Amell Marries for a Second Time! The second time is twice as nice. For Arrow star Stephen Amell and Cassandra Jean that means tying the knot for a second time this Sunday in New Orleans. "Feeling pretty lucky today," 32-year-old Amell posted on Twitter with a swoon-worthy shot of himself and his 27-year-old wife. The couple first wed in a private ceremony in the Caribbean last December, but were surrounded by friends and family for this weekend's reception.


Tim Duncan Reportedly Divorcing

Tim Duncan has been dominant in the 2013 postseason thus far and is one of the main reasons the San Antonio Spurs are poised to challenge for another NBA championship. He is averaging 16.2 points and 9.1 rebounds in 12 playoff games against the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies. And it appears this may all be happening while dealing with some off-the-court distractions. Duncan and his wife Amy may have recently filed for divorce. A divorce case was filed in a San Antonio court two months ago that includes only the initials A.S.D and T.T.D. Duncan’s middle name is Theodore. To make matters even more curious, a request was reportedly filed last week asking that a legal discovery be postponed until after the Spurs' last playoff game. Either the nation’s biggest Spurs fans have filed for divorce, or Duncan and his wife are splitting. The Express-News also pointed out that the paperwork says the couple married around July 21, 2001, which was when Tim's and Amy's wedding took place. Furthermore, it says they have two children together, whose birthdays coincide with the dates listed on the divorce filing. T.T.D., who we assume is Duncan, has asked the court to honor a prenuptial agreement and confirm that he owns property that is separate from the marital estate. A.S.D.'s petition states that the two will "enter into a written agreement for the division of their estate."

NFL Players Association gunning for Jay-Z over recruitment rule
Jay-Z is living a hard-knock life in sports management. The NFL Players Association is investigating him for an alleged rule violation. Jay-Z recently opened a sports management division as part of his Roc Nation entertainment empire, and its new client is Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith. But here’s the rub: An Instagram pic shows Jay-Z and the QB hanging out just before the athlete dumped his old managers, and league rules mandate that only NFLPA-certified agents can get involved in recruiting. Oh, dear. He's got 99 problems, and breaking an obscure rule in professional sports talent management IS one. Allegedly, of course.


Holyfield Could Lose License

If Evander Holyfield doesn’t pay up, he could lose the right to drive. Holyfield was put on a payment plan to cover over $500,000 in child support for his daughter Emani. The boxer has been missing monthly payments of $2,950 and still owes $327,858.36. The Division of Child Support Services has been given approval by a Georgia judge to start the process of taking away Holyfield’s driver’s license as incentive to pay the child support. Holyfield has a hearing in August to check on the progress of his debt. Holyfield has earned $250 million during his boxing career. He got $34 million for his fight with Mike Tyson in 1997.

 
ANGELINA JOLIE'S AUNT DIES OF BREAST CANCER DAYS AFTER OP-ED
Less than two weeks after Angelina Jolie revealed she'd had a double mastectomy to avoid breast cancer, her aunt died from the disease Sunday. Debbie Martin died at age 61 at a hospital in Escondido, Calif., near San Diego, her husband, Ron Martin, told The Associated Press. Debbie Martin was the younger sister of Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, whose own death from ovarian cancer in 2007 inspired the surgery that Jolie described in a May 14 op-ed in the New York Times. According to her husband, Debbie Martin had the same defective BRCA1 gene that Jolie does, but didn't know it until after her 2004 cancer diagnosis. "Had we known, we certainly would have done exactly what Angelina did," Ron Martin said in a phone interview. Ron Martin said after getting breast cancer, Debbie Martin had her ovaries removed preventively because she was also at very high genetic risk for ovarian cancer, which has killed several women in her family. The 37-year-old Jolie said in her op-ed that her doctors estimated that she had a 50 percent risk of getting ovarian cancer but an 87 percent risk of breast cancer.


Notre Dame QB Golson suspended over poor academic judgment
Everett Golson is out for at least the fall semester at Notre Dame, saying he has been suspended by the university for what he called poor academic judgment. "I take full responsibility for my poor choices and will do all that is asked of me to regain the trust of my family, friends, teammates, coaches and the entire Notre Dame community," he wrote in a letter released Sunday by the university. Golson was officially no longer enrolled at Notre Dame as of Friday, university spokesman Dennis Brown said Saturday night. Golson helped the Irish go 12-0 during the regular season last year, regain the No. 1 ranking for the first time in nearly two decades and get to the national title game against Alabama in January. Coach Brian Kelly was counting on him to play an even bigger role in 2013 after his play steadily improved throughout last season. Golson did not specify what he did to get suspended, and wrote that he understands his integrity could be in question. "But I want to reassure my supporters that through this experience I will return a better student athlete as well as a better individual," he said. He said he chose to attend Notre Dame because of its mission to develop him both on and off the field. "My parents and the community I grew up in have instilled values in me that have and will continue to allow me to be successful in the future.  There have been many lessons learned as I worked to become the starting quarterback at Notre Dame and each was a result of Coach Kelly's belief in me as an athlete and a person," he wrote.


Danica Patrick and Boyfriend Wreck

Danica Patrick and boyfriend Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who are involved in NASCAR’s most popular romance, were going to be involved in a wreck on the track at some point in their racing careers.  And that’s exactly what happened Sunday night during a bizarre Coca-Cola 600. Racing three-wide with 64 laps remaining, Stenhouse slid into the side of Patrick’s car, pushing her slightly up the track. Patrick clipped the car of Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski, sending them both crashing into the wall. Keselowski, who said earlier this year that he viewed Patrick as “someone that hasn’t won races or proved that she is competitive,” took the blame for the incident, believing that Patrick held her line. “I just cut Danica off,” Keselowski said. “I didn’t know she was still down there and I caused a big wreck. … I cut her off and wrecked her and myself. I feel bad for her and I send my apologies to her." Keselowski’s car was damaged beyond repair and he finished 36th. Patrick and Stenhouse were able to continue. Patrick hit the wall again later in the event and finished 15 laps down in 29th. Stenhouse finished two laps down in 14th. She released a statement through her team following the race. “I felt like we were making real progress and starting to get the car to a place that was really good, and had an accident, which is unfortunate because we were moving up,” Patrick said. “But nothing we can do about it now.”


TV NEWS
If you thought Barbara Walters' recent retirement announcement would put an end to rumors that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is also leaving "The View," think again. Hasselbeck, 35, will announce her departure in June, say reports. The story goes on to say a new season of "The View" will kick off after Labor Day with two new co-hosts. Back in March, Joy Behar announced her exit after co-hosting for 16 seasons. Behar, 70, will bow out when the current season ends in August.


Comedy Central is staying Inside Amy Schumer, renewing the half-hour standup/scripted hybrid series for a second season. Schumer broke the news herself on Twitter late Monday.


Resolving a months-long behind-the-scenes cliffhanger, Mariska Hargitay has inked a new deal to return for Law & Order: SVU‘s 15th season. NBC execs, which renewed SVU earlier this month while negotiations with Hargitay were still going on, aren’t the only ones breathing a sigh of relief. The show’s fans — who watched as Hargitay’s alter ego Olivia Benson literally dodged a (potential) bullet in the closing seconds of last week’s season finale — can take comfort in knowing their favorite heroine will survive the ordeal. The financial terms of the deal are TBD, but it’s safe to say that Hargitay — who pocketed a cool $500,000 per episode for Season 14 — will hold onto her title as TV’s highest-paid actress.


The CW is inviting you to rejoin its Cult. The cancelled drama’s creator, Rockne S. O’Bannon, announced Thursday via Twitter that beginning June 28, the network will air Cult‘s six remaining episodes in two-hour blocks.

NBC also announced today that Darius Rucker will perform in Oklahoma City along with Shelton. Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, Vince Gill, Luke Bryan, Rascal Flatts and Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic had previously been announced to play the United Way benefit concert. More acts are expected to be added before the show.
