THEWEEKLYCOMET-ISSUE12

Oceanian courts have now legalized one of the most high-profile divorce cases on the planet. Vice President of InterCore, Ulrich Wilhelm von Liechtenstein, 37, has divorced wife of 6 years, Annelise-Simone Dagmir, 34. Simone, as she's better known, is the debutante daughter of recently retired Martian corporate leader Westin Dagmir of Omicron Industries and Lapine Republic Chair-fur. According to our sources, the split was amicable-the Liechtenstein's had no children, and Ulrich willingly signed over the deed to their sprawling Amunsden mansion to his ex, where she and new lover Jean Redpaw have been living for the last 2 months. Liechtenstein himself continues to divide his time between his penthouse in Cephalon and mansion in the Upper Mrr Valley, Inaria-Annyrion. With one of known-space's wealthiest males on the prowl again, expect the rumor-mills to be churning over time! Last week Liechtenstein was spotted with in the company of several different ladies, notably AC General Tanya Fantozi and silver-screen siren, Spice La'Tigranbeau.

Thorsson denies running for office again

Hail to the chief - well, the former chief, in this case. With Chancellor Rexus's antics facing greater scruntiny, numerous political insiders have come forward, insisting that the former Chancellor Thorsson will run again for office.

In related news, rumors fly right and left concerning the alleged date and location of the former chancellor's wedding to fiancé, Dr. Snow Trevelyan. One source, who supplied us with the snap shot of the couple leaving The Continental hotel over the weekend, insisted that Hagalaz is planning to elope locally in Annyrion City and then head to Oceania for a honeymoon. Other sources argue for Port Annakis … Stay tuned!

New IDF Fleet Admiral ruffles tails, feathers, fins

Prime Minister Delacroix shocked many yesterday when he announced the nomination of long-time 'underdog' captain of the Iridian Defensive Fleet, Scott Teirnan LeBark, for Fleet Admiral. LeBark, who is currently captain of the IDF Kraken, would take on duties aboard the IDF Big Kahuna, if his nomination passes with the military judiciary board. Delacroix insisted that LeBark would be a "solid replacement" for Admiral Hank Lupus, who was forced to retire early for medical reasons. While he keeps a low public profile otherwise, LeBark raised eyebrows last year for his vigilante capture of a narcotic-trader, and also for the photograph taken of him chatting casually to 7W/Lopangan Navy co-leader, Pandora Ceridwyn during a gun expo on Saludariiz Island.
