It's only a day into the official competition, but things are certainly heating up in our 2005 Race From The Altar! After a salty little item appeared in Page Six suggesting that just before his wedding in the Dominican Republic to La Perla heiress Martina Borgomanero, Fabian Basabe had nervously called his lawyers to confirm that he could get a divorce in the United States, Basabe and Borgomanero had a clear advantage in this contest. Now, however, Basabe is issuing denials, firing lawyers who may have been involved in tabloid leaks and, most importantly, has said that he and his new bride would "like to start a family soon enough." Uh-oh. You know what that means: Star Jones and Al Reynolds take the lead in this post-nuptial demolition derby!
