Goodbye Palm Beach, and thank you!

radaronline_logoIt’s hard to say goodbye when you’re having fun!

Yet, this is my last Page2Live entry.

On Tuesday, I became executive editor of Radar Online, one of the country’s biggest celebrity websites.

The sandbox I get to play in now is a lot larger, and the gig often will take me to Los Angeles and Las Vegas and New York City.

But I leave The Palm Beach Post and the readers who supported me with news tips, kudos and criticism for the past seven years with a heavy heart.

I love Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, and not just because it’s my home. There are few places in this country as quirky as Palm Beach, Stuart, Boca and Wellington. News people who work here know they’re lucky because, indeed, there never is a dull moment.

EXCLUSIVE: Tiger Woods’ Privacy for sale!

Troubled Jupiter Island golfer Tiger Woods is putting his mega yacht Privacy up for sale, Page2Live has learned.

A Woods camp insider is telling me the golfer originally offered the 155-foot Christensen ship to ex-wife Elin Nordegren as his wedding present in 2004.

But Nordegren turned down the yacht during divorce-settlement talks with philandering Woods last summer.

“She didn’t want it because the upkeep is incredibly expensive,” the source said.

With a permanent crew of 13, Privacy costs more than $2 million a year to maintain.

Woods had the vessel sailed south to Fort Lauderdale in the fall. It was dry-docked in a yard for two months to paint the hull and re-surface the deck.

Privacy is now back at its home-port in North Palm Beach’s Old Port Cove, and Woods is shopping for a broker to list it for $25 million.

Links Leviathan Greg Norman, aka The Great White Shark, has been hanging at the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne with his new pilot fish, wife Kirsten Kutner (above).

And obviously, Norman is so taken with the younger wife, his third, six months after their wedding that their public displays of affection have prevented the love birds from watching all of the action on the court.

Jupiter Island resident Norman and the missus were at two-time champ Kim Clijster’s win over Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez Sunday and Spanish champ Rafael Nadal’s victory Monday over Feliciano Lopez.

Norman’s always had an affinity for tennis. Last year, Norman replaced his second wife, Boca Raton tennis legend Chris Evert, with Kutner.

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat are riding a five-game win streak and superstars Dwyane Wade and LeBron James enjoyed the attention they got Saturday night when the duo, plus Wade’s two sons, visited with Rafael Nadal (below).

Ex-running back Tucker Frederickson tackled by divorce

Tucker and Sherry, in happier days

Tucker and Sherry, in happier days

Former New York Giants first-round draft pick and north county developer Tucker Frederickson has been hit by a divorce filing.

His wife of 22 years and the mother of his four children, homemaker Sherry Frederickson, filed in Palm Beach County family court last month and alleges that he squandered marital assets on people other than her.

Sherry, 51, claims her relationship with the college football hall of famer has undergone “an irretrievable breakdown” and their marital bond was severed.

She also accuses Tucker, 68, an All-American at Auburn University in 1964, of “dissipating assets by conferring them upon associates, relatives, paramours.”

Said Sherry’s attorney, Stuart’s Josh Ferraro: “We’re hoping we can resolve this matter quickly and quietly.”

Tucker’s lawyer didn’t return calls for comment but his response to the divorce petition shows he denies wasting marital dollars and keeping galpals.

Still, Sherry wants “a disproportionate” share of the marital assets because she always depended on Tucker for financial support.

She also wants the couple’s $1.5 million home at Seminole Landing, the fancy North Palm Beach community that golfer Tiger Woods‘ ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, now calls home.

As much Woofstock as fund-raiser for the Safe Harbor Animal Rescue, Saturday afternoon’s 24th Annual Celebrity Dog Wash brought more than 5,000 to Carlin Park in Jupiter.

For 10 bucks a pop, dog owners could have their pooches cleaned — with soap, and all — by area media celebrities like WZZR radio’s Love Doctors and Josh Cohen and the Hometeam, and KOOL’s Mo & Sally; WPBF-Channel 25’s Terri Parker, WPTV-Channel 5’s John Favole and WPEC’s Juan Carlos Fanjul and Suzanne Boyd, among others.

And those more musically included got to sit on the lawn for the high-energy 1980s music of Gretchen Bonaduce (Danny’s ex) and the 1970s sound of Grand Funk Railroad.
