Apparently when one reaches Cole Hamels‘ level of wealth and celebrity, one can afford not only luxury apartment accommodations, but also a hot wife and rented children. Or are they leased?

The Residences at Two Liberty Place is not only an apartment, it’s a community.

• Police have determined that 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi shot & killed ex-Titans QB Steve McNair, ruling the deaths a murder-suicide.

Sounds like a killer lineup. But not everyone was so gung-ho about showing up in the show.
