Frank and Jamie McCourt just settled part of their divorce property dispute, but the headline ... if the judge decides in August that Jamie has a piece of the team, the Dodgers will be sold.
Lawyers for Jamie and Frank said ... if Judge Scott Gordon rules on August 4 that the Dodgers are community property -- giving Jamie a 50% interest -- the team will be put up for sale.
Once sold, each will get 50% of the net proceeds.
If Judge Gordon rules the team is Frank's separate property, he keeps the team but he has to pay Jamie $100 million.
And, if Frank keeps the team, Jamie gets all the mansions except one -- Frank gets to keep the Montana Yellowstone property. But there's a hitch. The whole settlement is predicated on the Fox deal going through -- which would give the Dodgers a $385 million advance on the $3 billion broadcast deal to cover the teams bills, including payroll.

McCourts Will Sell Los Angeles Dodgers if Jamie Wins
Kelsey Mystery Email -- S/He Who Smelt It, Dealt It?
The email went out to Kelsey's friends and contacts Wednesday morning ... according to the New York Post.
Kelsey -- who's still waging a child custody war with Camille Grammer -- quickly sent a follow-up email explaining the odoriferous email came from an old shared account, and "third parties" continue to have access to it.
Kelsey cryptically said of the unnamed person, "May I suggest that it is 'they' who owe you an apology."
We would've gone with, "S/He who detected it, ejected it" ... but whatever.

Camille Grammer: Kelsey's Daughter is a Spy!
TMZ obtained the latest docs in the Grammers' epic legal war. Kelsey wanted his eldest daughter, 27-year-old Spencer and her new husband to vacation at the Grammers' posh Hawaii estate, beginning today.
Camille's lawyer, Neal Hersh went to court yesterday to block Spencer from using the house, and now we know why. According to Camille's declaration, she's the one who has been spending a lot of time at the house with their 2 young kids, and Kelsey hasn't been there for a long, long time.
Camille believes if Spencer and her hubby use the house, they would have access to a lot of personal stuff related to the divorce and might just steal it.
Camille seems particularly bitter because Kelsey has banned her from their Bridgehampton estate. Such rich people problems.
The judge ruled the only way third parties could use any of the Grammers' various homes is if both Kelsey and Camille signed off.
Don't hold your breath, Spencer.

Grammer Judge: Keep Vacation Homes Private!
The judge in the Kelsey Grammer/Camille Grammer child custody war just ruled ... both Kelsey and Camille should keep friends and relatives from living in their various vacation homes -- rich people problems.
Kelsey and Camille have homes in the Hamptons, Hawaii and other places. Camille's lawyer, Neal Hersh, told the judge he had concerns about privacy for the kids, thus the need to keep others from living and snooping in the vacation homes.
The judge ruled the only way third parties can live in the vacation homes is with the written consent of both Kelsey and Camille.
Kelsey's lawyer, Lance Spiegel, has requested that the judge speed up the process of having Kelsey, Camille and their two kids interviewed by a child evaluator so the custody trial can begin.
Both Camille and Kelsey have asked for primary custody. Kelsey tried settling the dispute by taking their son to Chicago to live with him and leaving their daughter behind in California with Camille, but Camille balked at the notion.
Christina Applegate's Ex -- DIVORCED ... Again
Their marriage was a whirlwind failure -- Kramer filed for divorce in August last year, less than two months after they got married.
And get this ... the couple was only married for TWELVE DAYS before they separated.
Of course, this ain't Schaech's first rodeo -- he went through the whole divorce thing with Christina Applegate back in 2007.
It's Divorce Time!

J.Lo BLOCKS Sexy Honeymoon Tape ... For Now
Jennifer Lopez' famous booty is temporarily protected from public consumption ... thanks to an L.A. County Superior Court judge.
J.Lo just scored a restraining order against Claudia Vasquez -- the current girlfriend of her ex-husbandOjani Noa ... the same ex-husband who filmed the honeymoon footage back in 1997 and has been dogging her ever since.
We're told Claudia now owns the tape and was trying to take it to market ... but the judge temporarily blocked her bid, on grounds it can't be released without Jennifer's sign off.
Claudia tried arguing there's no proof she's trying to sell the tape, but she's not denying it either. The judge apparently thinks Claudia's motives are more sinister.

Faith Evans's Estranged Hubby -- STILL Her Manager
Good help is hard to find -- in fact, it's so hard ... Faith Evans has decided to KEEP her estranged husband Todd Russaw as her manager ... despite filing for divorce from him last month.
Faith tells TMZ, the divorce proceedings haven't changed a thing -- "Todd is going to be my manager still. I have a lot of personal things going on right now. My main focus is [my daughter] Chyna graduating from high school next week."
As we previously reported, Faith filed for divorce last month -- citing irreconcilable differences.
The couple was married in 1997, but separated in 2005. They have two minor children.
