Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has reportedly been actress Hines, best known from the TV show Curb Your Enthusiasm.

On Wednesday, Kennedys estranged wife Mary Richardson Kennedy died at age 52 apparently from committing suicide by hanging herself, multiple sources told ABC News.

Kennedy and Hines have been romantically linked since last year and were photographed in January attending the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. Kennedys daughter Kathleen Kick Kennedy, an aspiring actress, was also seen with the couple.

Kennedy, a prominent environmental lawyer, is the son of the late Sen. Robert Kennedy and the nephew of President John F. Kennedy. He is the vice chair and chief prosecuting attorney for the Riverkeeper, an environmental foundation that advocates for clean water sources in New York.

Hines and Kennedy attended the Riverkeepers annual Fishermans Ball in New York City together in April and posed together on the red carpet.

Hines character on Curb Your Enthusiasm is an avid environmentalist and she joked on the red carpet that she was learning to become one in her real life.

We deeply regret the death of our beloved sister Mary, whose radiant and creative spirit will be sorely missed by those who loved her, Mary Kennedys family said in a statement released her lawyer. Our heart goes out to her children who she loved without reservation.

Mary Richardson Kennedy was Kennedys second wife and the couple had four children together. The couple was married for 16 years before a divorce filing in 2010.

Very true, Abby, and something the dems can overlook since hes a Kennedy. Mary Kennedy died of a broken heart, sounds like to me. My sympathies.

Any sex outside of marriage is adultery. Doesnt have anything to do with Catholicism or estrangement.

Did Laurie David introduce them? Afterall, she was Larry Davids wife, is part of the NRDC and claims that RFK jr turned her into an environmentalist. Amazing how all the men whose lives she touches wind up either divorced or separated&One big happy dysfunctional family. Sad about his estranged wife. Sounds like she died of a broken heart.

I cant understand the timing of this article. Did it really have to run on the same page with the article about his WIFES suicide? Good grief!

@Spitting into the Wind. RFK Jr. has spent his life working to protect the environment. Most of the Kennedys have devoted their lives to public service and to helping the poor and underprivileged. If that wasnt true you wouldnt be attacking them. The real parasites are the 1% who you worship and defend at every turn, and who tell you what to think.

Fred: I agree with you completely. And there is no reason to run this story about RFKs love life when such a horrific thing has happened. The Media causes a lot of our problems. They are disgusting. If it were their loved one, it would be another story.

God Bless the Kennedy family and Marys family.

Well, guess he wont have to sue her for child custody.

Posted by: George | May 17, 2012, 4:46 pm 4:46 pm

Joyce, if you really think the Kennedys are spending their lives protecting the enviornment and poor people for us, I think you are sadly mistaken. The Kennedys have spent their lives spending taxpayers money on THEIR causes. I am sure the environmental law this Kennedy is so wrapped up in comes part and parcel with Al Gores nonsense.

From last November  California-based “green jobs” firm with a troubled financial history got a $1.4 billion Energy Department loan guarantee ― three times the size of Solyndra’s jackpot ― despite mountains of debt.

And it turns out that the principal private investor in BrightSource Energy, the lucky recipient, is a company called VantagePoint ― whose “venture partners” include Robert F. Kennedy Jr. $1.4 billion in taxpayer money to bailout Mr. Holier than Thou.

Why does an environmental group have a prosecuting attorney?

It sounds like a made-up job for a trust fund kid.

I hope Kennedy and Hines are ashamed of themselves.

Posted by: Ugh | May 17, 2012, 7:10 pm 7:10 pm

Mary is/was 100 times prettier than Cheryl Hines. course, RFK Jr. is ugly too.

DATING SCAM: Iowa Woman Loses $152000

DES MOINES  Loneliness can drive a person to do things they never would have otherwise considered.

Before her husband died, two years ago, Jane (We have agreed to conceal her identity.) would have never joined a websites for seniors. No,” she said, “Everybody said to me, ‘(The website) is what you need to (use) to find someone.’ Im not a real outgoing person.

Jane logged on looking for love. She quickly connected with a man who claimed his name was John P. Walson. He said that he was from Italy, but had lived in the U.S. for several years. He said that he and his daughter lived in Kansas, and that he was an engineer.

The online courting continued until the day that John said he had a $2 million contract to do some work for his employer in the country of Malaysia. Jane didn’t hear from John for a few weeks. Then, all of a sudden (I) got this message from him. It was a frantic email about Johns daughter. Jane explained, She had been shot. They had to take her to the hospital, and didnt have the right insurance, evidently.

John begged via email, and Jane wired a few thousand dollars to cover the medical bills. Then, John said he needed more. He needed $25,000 because hed overstayed his visa. Again, Jane wired him the money. Again, he asked for more.

He produced documents indicating he was in prison in Malaysia, was transferred to Korea, then extradited to Detroit, MI. He was sent to prison in St. Cloud MN, and then to an immigration facility at the Cedar Rapids airport. Such a facility does not exist. John claimed that each location had a fine, a fee, or a plane ticket that he asked Jane to pay for. I would say, ‘This is ridiculous. I just gave you money two days ago and now you need money again? Well, thered always be some reason.

six months, all Jane had to show for her relationship with a man she had never met face-to-face were elaborate stories and a stack of dozens of Western Union money transfer receipts. Her retirement savings was gone. “$152,000 is what he owes me.

The day that John asked for another $80,000 lump sum, Jane said that she finally accepted the truth. She went to the police. I feel like I was paying for this (thief) to care about me.

Jane called Bill Brauch’s office. Brauch is the director of the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General’s Office. She quickly learned that she is not alone. It doesnt mean that everybodys losing $50,000 or $75,000, but (the losses are) generally in the thousands, said Brauch. He added that people can stop the theft, if they can spot these red flags:

The person asks to communicate via email, chat, or telephone

The person asks for money, in any amount

ANY request to wire transfer funds

On the third item in particular, Brauch said, Its a scam. Hold onto your money. You are being victimized. Brauch said that people should trust their gut. If something seems fishy, share it with someone you trust& or call Brauch’s staff. Our investigator says, “Give (the guy you’re dating online) my name and number and Ill talk to him, and then Ill call you back and let you know what I think.‘ Our (investigators) will do some research.

Jane said, “Its my retirement. Its my life savings. Its everything that I could do to have fun in life.” “I took out my savings and I went to my 401k. I did what I needed to do. I borrowed money for him, and hed just say, Oh, Babe, dont worry. You know? Blah blah blah. Everything I would question… he’d have a different answer for. Jane said that he claimed he was wealthy and would pay it back when he got home to Kansas.

This Casanova con man is still after more. Jane said that he keeps calling, harassing me. The phone rings at all hours of the night. Her purpose in sharing her story with Channel 13 News is to warn others of the pain. Yeah. Theres days Id just as soon not be here.

She has one final message to the man who calls himself John P. Walson. “Just give me my money back and leave me alone.

Empowering Youth To Stand Against Teen-Dating Violence Through Music

Empowering Youth To Stand Against Teen- Music

Oyster Bay teen Charlie Dane is promoting healthy relationships and empowering youth through pop music

Oyster Bay High School (OBHS) seventh-grade student Charlie Dane, 13, is using her talent to talk to fellow teens about dating violence. She is part of a campaign using seven youth artist finalists, aged 13 to 20, from across the country who have contributed original songs to the nonprofit Pave the Way Project (PWP) which raises awareness of dating violence among their peers. The winning artist will perform in a recording of a new song written by Grammy Award winner Salvador Santana, collaborating alongside his father, 10-time Grammy Award winner Carlos Santana. The famed music pair is showing support for this initiative through the power of music to connect with youth around dating violence issues.

Charlie is a singer/song-writer/guitarist, so performing with famed guitarist Carlos Santana would be a life-changing experience. Michele Browner, Oyster Bay-East Norwich Chamber of Commerce president said, “This is Oyster Bay’s own Charlie Dane (Lublin) working on a public service project for teen dating violence. Check out her original song and remember to vote for her in the Pave the Way Project beginning May 29.

“She will also be playing on the stage at the Health Fair May 19, and at several Cruise Nights, held Tuesdays in Oyster Bay,” added Ms. Browner. She urged everyone to “Like” Charlie on Facebook.

Charlie said she was inspired to write “Prisoner” because “I felt that being stuck in a situation like this [teen dating violence] is sort of like being a prisoner and if you are a victim of relationship abuse, you need to break out of the chains that keep you from living your life freely. I was inspired by all that I read and learned about this topic.” YouTube and OBHS

On YouTube, Charlie is filmed talking in front of the Oyster Bay High School entrance. She said that although she doesn’t have firsthand experience in dating violence, when she was approached by PAVE, “I was excited to be part of such a cool campaign.” She said she get ideas for her songs from listening to what kids say in the school’s hallways. Her songs are otherwise about her own life experiences. She urged people to go to the PAVE website to learn about healthy relationships.

Charlie said her goal in writing “Prisoner” was to say to a teen in a bad relationship ― have the confidence and power to speak out and stop being controlled by violence, and not to be afraid of saying that something is wrong.

Pattie Lublin, Charlie’s mom said, “Everyone young and old can learn from visiting the PAVE site. They are featuring seven teenage artists from around the country and Charlie is so psyched to be one of them. She wrote her song ‘Prisoner’ specifically for this cause.”

According to PWP, dating violence is something all too prevalent among today’s youth. In fact, one in four teens will experience dating violence at some point in his or her relationship.

A new program called PAVE the Way Project combines music, an interactive website and an educational curriculum to raise awareness of teen domestic abuse. The program was created through a partnership with Verizon Wireless, Cornerstone and MTE Inc., and the goal is to promote healthy relationships and empower teens to take a stand against dating violence through the expression of pop music.

A new song is being released by a different artist every Tuesday, from April 10 through May 22.

Charlie is comfortable in front of the camera and has an easy and natural way of communicating. Her singing is a natural extension of her abilities.

Charlie’s song “Prisoner” was released May 8 and is available as a free download at www.pavethewayproject.com, and a reminder, that the public will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite track beginning May 29.Dating Violence

According to PAVE, dating violence is a pattern of behaviors whereby one person uses intimidation, confusion, isolation and fear to control the relationship. It happens in both adult and teen relationships, however “teen-dating violence occurs in ways that are often overlooked by parents, siblings and friends.” People underestimate the significance of dating pressure and consider the events are “young love” or “puppy love.” They explained that oftentimes, when violence occurs, the victim stays in the home until healed, hiding the results of an incident.

Besides being concerned if people will believe them, when they tell about dating abuse, they are afraid of retaliation by the abuser, as a result: they are scared into silence. Additionally, says PAVE, “Many young people are so worried about getting in trouble for dating when it has been forbidden [by their family] that they are even more afraid to ask friends or adults for help.”

Book offers tips for dating a widower  what to look for, what to be cautious about.

In the book, “Dating a Widower” (Ben Lomond Press, $8.99) Abel Keogh discusses this topic as an expert. all, he was widowed nearly 10 years ago and has since remarried.

Dating is tricky enough as it is, but dating a widower has even more possible pitfalls. Women may wonder if the issues that may arise are grief-driven or simply problems that the widower is struggling with. Keogh says that often it’s hard to tell.

To make the experience as smooth as possible, he suggests:

Women who date widowers should never feel like they’re being compared or held up against the late wife. They should feel loved and respected for who they are.

Widowers act, behave and grieve like men. Never make excuses for bad behavior or allow him to make his date feel second best because of grief.

The man should always treat his date like a queen. The book says “a man who loves you will move mountains to show you how he feels and a mans actions are worth more than a thousand of his words.”

Learning how to communicate is essential to resolving issues and making sure the widower is ready to open his heart to you.

Be prepared to be patient. Every widower is different and some may need more time before they are prepared to get into a new relationship.
