Just out of curiosity, I had to check and see if his new entertainment attorney, Christopher Reggie, is in any way related to Ted Kennedy's wife.
It doesn't appear so, but he did live in Boston and is a Harvard Law School grad - just that he's from Pasadena, CA, originally, not from south Louisiana. However, his mother was a Prudhomme, so there's still the possibility.
Here's some about the lawyer:

Hmmm. Elsewhere, in an alum pub, he says he lives in SF with his two dogs.
This whole scenario really does make me ill. I wonder what kind of cut the crockmeister Tracey will get from all this to-do. Oh, ugh.
