Bruce Pearl's ex-wife opens a nail salon called Alimony's

By Chris Chase

When Bruce Pearl's divorce from his wife of 25 years was announced last September, it didn't take long for pictures of the Tennessee basketball coach cavorting with young ladies to hit the Internet. Now, his ex-wife is getting her revenge.

Kim Shrigley, Pearl's former wife, recently opened a nail salon in Knoxville with the monthly money she gets from her ex-husband as part of their divorce settlement. The shop is appropriately (and awesomely) named Alimony's.

As the Knoxville News Sentinel reports, Shrigley's new business will offer a full-range of hair and nail options just a few miles down the road from the University of Tennessee. This could present an awkward, Three's Company-esque situation one day because Bruce Pearl totally gets manis and pedis at least twice a week. The odds of him stumbling into Alimony's after going to the same strip mall for his spray tan are pretty high.

The story is ripe with goodness, from Shrigley's use of the word "ballsy" to the video of her head stylist (who's named Bubby Browning). Shrigley says that those who receive alimony will receive a 15-percent discount at her shop, thus ensuring that Pat Summitt's husband will be in for his highlights by the end of the month.

    This article is very tasteful and provides a plethora of information for us all to digest and ponder. Best article I have read in my 867 years of life here on earth.

    Sounds like something my wife would do if I divorced her! It's called: “No statute of limitation on revenge”!

    Bruce Pearl is a PERVERT and always has been a lowdown dirty RAT! He's a scumbag hypocrite and his hypocrisy will catch up to him sooner than he thinks.

    Judge not, cyberties. Everyone's got skeletons in their closets. Pearl is a public figure though...hence, no private life. He's a "pervert" because he can get hot, young women to canoodle with him? No....not if they're of legal age and consent to such activity. Save your self-righteousness for another website.

    I like Bruce Pearl from when he was UW-Milwaukee's head coach to now but seriously, fame and money can and will destroy everything....Bruce, I'm disappointed...you're kind of a pig now.

    I dont know the grounds for their seperation, however from just reading the story it appears Mr. Pearl is a vain man who married a woman much more intellegent then himself. I think the story is hilarious, the problem is Mr. Pearl probably wont get the irony while he is sitting in the chair getting pampered.

    Good job Chris Chase. You really got a scoop here. Seriously though, if this is the best you can do, who gave you a job? Save it for a gossip magazine, not a sports site. Man up and write something useful for a change.

    I think it is very sad that a man in a position to lead and influence young men will stoop to his level. What an opportunity to make men of character out of these young guys. Bruce you blew it with your family, and the University of Tenness. Hope you never win another game. Way to go Kim....

    Bruce Pearl has been a worthless piece of "human" debris since he was an assistant at Iowa. Does Deon Thomas ring a bell, Brucey? Go Jayhawks Jan. 3.

    i don't blame her on being upset with the jerk, but i do find it rather inmature on her part. i also doubt that it bothers him to any real degree. he's to full of himself to care.

    This just proves there is no such thing as 'bad press.' Free nationwide advertising is the way to go.

    Bruce Pearl is surrounded by hot babes after his divorce. God, what a sucker. It's all about your money, Pearl, cause it sure isn't about your personality or looks or anything else that might pop up. Your pushing 50, have a beer gut , and aren't exactly a stud these days . . . just in case you haven't looked in a mirror lately. I'm going to laugh my butt off when I read about you getting fleeced by the latest babe on your arm. Yeah, I know. The truth hurts.
