10/13/2006: "Country-Fried Eye Candy"

I have no love for reality TV, so you'd have to tie me up in front of the screen to watch something like "Dancing With The Stars". Heck, I wouldn't even know it existed were it not for the presence of country singer Sara Evans as one of the contestants. Sara has been on my short list of candidates for future eye candy entries, and it piqued my interest when it was announced yesterday that she had filed for divorce from Craig Schelske, her husband of 13 years, and simultaneously left the show to spent the difficult upcoming weeks with her three children. Today, the details came to light.

In the filing in state court in suburban Franklin, where the couple has a home, Evans alleges that Schelske watched pornography on the couples' computers and has at least 100 nude photographs of himself in a state of arousal.

She also alleges that several photographs show Schelske having sex with other women.

According to the court documents, the oldest of the couple's children confronted Schelske when he was watching pornographic material on the television in their home.

I suspect it is that last line that drove her decision to withdraw from the DWTS competition.

I'm not always the smartest guy when it comes to relationships, so maybe someone can answer the obvious question for me - what kind of horse's ass do you have to be to choose porn and adultery over this ...

I understand that, as a currently unemployed failed congressional candidate, Schelske may be feeling a bit of pressure - particularly with Sara's recent successes. But he can't possibly be under as much pressure as those buttons on Sara's blouse ...

I'm sure more details will bubble to the surface in future days, and I suspect this one will get ugly. For now, enjoy a double shot of Sara (since you only get her from the waist up, I thought you deserved two ...) from better days.
