The Beat

Two years ago Anna Benson, the somewhat publicity-conscious wife of pitcher Kris Benson, told Howard Stern that she would sleep with "everybody on [her husband's] entire team" (the Mets, at that time) if she ever caught him cheating. Are we about to find out if that offer is transferable to the Orioles? Last Thursday--less than a week after an interview with SI in which the couple seemed quite happy--Anna (below) filed for divorce after seven years of marriage. She claimed the marriage is "irretrievably broken," and the New York Daily News reported that she believes her husband was unfaithful. On Saturday, Kris, who may have been traded from the Mets because of Anna's skimpy outfits and sometimes outlandish ways, said, "I let people come to their own conclusions." As for Anna's vow to Stern: Her spokesman says she was just joking.

?File this under "no good deed goes unpunished." Victoria Silvstedt, the 1997 Playmate of the Year, went to the Rangers-Sabres game at Madison Square Garden last week to cheer a fellow Swede, New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist. (The two are just pals; she's married, and he has a girlfriend.) During the first period Silvstedt--who was sitting with Jeff Gordon and his girlfriend, model Ingrid Vandebosch--got a fat lip when she was hit by a stray puck. Silvstedt hung tough, though. She stayed in her seat and saw Lundqvist come off the bench in the third period and stonewall Buffalo in a come-from-behind win. The Rangers are rewarding her grit by sending her a signed jersey.

?Serious Cubs fans who watch Fox's Prison Break might pause a moment when the character Willie Prall is referred to. Prall, a baseball player who appears in flashback scenes, shares his name with a lefty who pitched in three games for the Cubbies in 1975. Says writer Nick Santora, who often names characters after real-life athletes, "I was looking for a baseball player who had had a cup of coffee in the pros." Santora, who once named an inmate Jesus in honor of Jesus Alou, was given one rule by Paul Scheuring, the executive producer of Break: no White Sox players. Says Santora, "I was told, 'All of my friends in Chicago are Cubs fans, and they'd kill me if he was on the White Sox.'"

? Jonny Moseley, one of People's Top 50 Bachelors in 2002, is a bachelor no more. The freestyle skier, who won Olympic gold in the moguls in 1998, married his business manager and girlfriend of five years, Malia Rich, 29, on March 25 in Telluride, Colo. "I cried through the whole ceremony," Moseley, 30, told People. "My uncle changed my nickname from Turkey to Softie." ... Who's got the better poker face, Burt Reynolds or Robert Duvall?
