Burt at the Maltz in June (Fred Montana/Special to Page2Live)

Big screen legend Burt Reynolds is battling an addiction to painkillers and checked himself into rehab at West Palm Beach’s Hanley Center.

He first sought treatment as inpatient but has since been released and continues his recovery at home in Hobe Sound.

“After recent back surgery,” Reynolds spokesman Ken Kaye said, “Mr. Reynolds felt like he was going through hell. After awhile, he realized that he was in the prison of prescription pain pills. He checked himself into rehab in order to regain control of his life. He hopes that his story will help others in a similar situation. He hopes that others won’t try to solve the problem on their own as he tried to do.”

Kaye, the rookie executive director of the Burt Reynolds and Friends Museum in Jupiter, added that the star of Smokey and the Bandit and The Longest Yard would be back to teach acting classes at the museum Friday.

“They kept him in for a few days, but he is home as we speak,” Kaye said. “He’s doing very well. He’ll be in top form for the class.”

Like the federal government he once was a member of, former U.S. Congressman Tim Mahoney is running in the deep red.

Mahoney, 52, can’t cover his daily bills these days, according to a fresh batch of paperwork filed in a Palm Beach County court in connection with his divorce case.

The former Democratic representative, whose district stretched from Palm Beach to St. Lucie counties and across Florida, claims he makes $4,341 a month as a business adviser while his expenses are $10,851. He runs a $6,510 deficit each month.

Almost half of his expenses, his financial statement shows, are for the couple’s Palm Beach Gardens home, a barn and 5 acres on 114^th Court in the western confines of Palm Beach Gardens, a condo in Canada and 30 acres in Oklahoma.

Don’t shed a tear for the man with the numerous mistresses, though. Even if he’s worth less than what the popular wisdom would have you believe — he once was a venture capitalist — Mahoney isn’t poor.

And you thought the divorce of former U.S. Congressman Tim Mahoney was bad so far, with payoffs to a former mistress and the suspension of another squeeze from her government job?

Man, you ain’t seen nothing yet!

The long-suffering, soon-to-be-ex-wife of the scandal-prone Mahoney, Terry, has called on eight people to be deposed in mid-April.

Court papers show they include: Mistress No. 1, former Mahoney aide Tricia Allen, the one he agreed to pay a total of $227,000 to shut her up about their affair; Mistress No. 2, Martin County engineering department employee Kim Roden, whom he took on skiing vacations in the Canadian Rockies; a former Tim Mahoney employee, Alejandro Munoz; Leonard Sokolow, a Broward County lawyer and accountant who was one of Tim Mahoney’s business partners in vFinance, a venture capital company; West Palm Beach lawyer Jack Goldberger, who once repped billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and worked on Mahoney’s secret deal with Allen; Gary Isaacs, another local lawyer who represented Mahoney as the sex scandal broke last year; and forensic accountant Michael Kridel. Tim Mahoney, too, will be grilled. (Read more…)

Man, does he sport a pair!

Former U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney, a Democrat who lost his seat to Republican Tom Rooney after he admitted to routinely stepping out on his wife, is attending the presidential inauguration festivities in Washington, D.C.

“He’s been making the rounds because he now wants to be a lobbyist,” said a Beltway insider. “People are sorta rolling their eyes but, whatever.”

A spywitness at the Florida State Society’s inaugural ball Monday night text-messaged Page2Live that a tuxedo-clad Mahoney had arrived. (Read more…)

There were three weddings-of-the-year in Palm Beach in 2008 – all with mixed results.

First came the Jan. 5 nuptials of Alexandra Fisher and Joshua Bailer at The Breakers.

They never made it to the $100,000 chuppah. Pre-nupt talks broke down minutes before the ceremony, and they broke up.

But since father-of-the-bride Jeff Fisher, a well-known philanthropist, already paid for the party, he instructed the miffed guests to party on.

The family of the groom-to-be had fun, too. In an adjacent ballroom.

Champagne flowed until past midnight. (Read more…)

Tim Mahoney and wife Terry, at the October press conference in which he admitted to affairs

She was unmasked as one of the numerous women in the sex-soaked life of the very married U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney. But that didn’t keep Martin County engineering official Kim Roden from a Christmas romp with the man whose philandering caused his political crash.

According to fresh paperwork in Mahoney’s divorce file, wife of 23 years Terry is accusing her man of spending marital cash to take Roden on a Dec. 22 trip to the Mahoneys’ romantic mountain hideaway in Canada. (Read more…)

As his only term in the U.S. House ends, Tim Mahoney is unlikely be charged criminally for placing a mistress on the federal payroll, a source close to the FBI investigation into Mahoney told Page2Live.

The feds, who aren’t commenting, have been checking into Hobe Sound mom Patricia Allen’s work for Mahoney at his Palm Beach Gardens federal office in 2007.

Their questions included whether Allen, a former campaign worker and one of Mahoney’s lovers, had a no-show job. (Read more…)

U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney wants to patch things up with his wife.

Yep, the one on whom he publicly admitted to cheating repeatedly.

In his first filings since homemaker Terry Mahoney had him served with divorce papers, the Democratic politico asked a Palm Beach County family court to stop the proceedings temporarily.

He wants a three-month truce and the appointment of a marriage counselor. (Read more…)

U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney, who lost his reelection to lawyer Tom Rooney after he admitted to juggling mistresses, reappeared publicly for the first time since Nov. 4.
