The day started off promising, with TMZ chieftain Harvey Levin telling me through my TV screen that whore-mistress-stripper champion attorney Gloria Allred was to have a press conference with her latest client, a dwarf who is suing somebody.

Then the day ramped up with the news that footballer-turned-TV guy Tiki Barber is delivering a nice big fat mistress scandal to his pregnant wife, all on his 35th birthday.
You can imagine the sighs of relief from "most hated man in America" Jesse James, and "forgive me, now go buy Nike crap" Tiger Woods, these guys need a vacation after all they've been through.
Today show contributor and NFL star Tiki Barber, 35, announced that he's leaving his wife Ginny, who's expecting twins next month, (editor's note: TWINS!!) after the New York Post blabbed that he's left her for a "hot" 23-year-old NBC intern named Traci. The couple already have two kids.
Barber's girlfriend, Traci Johnson, convinced her family she was just babysitting for the ex-Giants star as their romance heated up and his marriage fell apart.
"That's what [her dad] Ernest told me," Johnson family neighbor Bob Drabik says, according to the paper. Drabik said he believed Barber wrote a letter that helped Johnson, a communications major, land an internship with NBC in 2007. A year later, Barber visited her Mount Saint Mary College campus in Newburgh, Orange County, to address students.
Barber has not commented, other than his statement yesterday announcing his split.
"After 11 years of marriage, Ginny and I have decided to separate," Barber said in a statement yesterday. "This decision was a painful one, but we are moving forward amicably and will continue to work together to raise our children with the love and dedication they have always known."
