Judge extends McCourt talks, deal might be close

Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon on Thursday rescinded his finding that Frank and Jamie McCourt were at an impasse in their settlement talks, and he set a hearing for later today to determine if a deal had been reached. "I think we are close," said Jamie's lawyer Dennis Wasser, according to AP. "Hopefully, we can get it done tonight." Earlier on Thursday, Frank's people said they had a deal while Jamie's denied it.
