You May Now Smack The Bride

STEP INTO THE RING Albrecht

A hearty congratulations to former HBO CEO Chris Albrecht and occasional TV correspondent girlfriend Karla Jensen, who announced this weekend at their Christmas party in L.A. that they're getting married!

It's a nice turn of events, considering the couple's many ups and downs. Albrecht, now brokering TV deals for Teddy Forstmann at IMG, was forced to resign from HBO last May after allegedly punching and choking Jensen outside of the MGM Grand Hotel in Vegas following a professional boxing match. (He blamed the booze; she declined to press charges.)

And that wasn't the first time Albrecht's reportedly beaten a member of the fairer sex.
