Newport's Richard Hatch, winner of the first edition of Survivor, has been mostly feuding with the IRS lately. But Hatch will also be among the former Survivor contestants scheduled to be on the syndicated game show Family Feud the week of Feb. 14.

Other players will include Susan Hawk, Rupert Boneham, Ethan Zohn, Rudy Boesch, Jenna Morasco, and Shii Ann Huang.

The shows were taped before Hatch's tax problems became public.

The federal government has charged Hatch with two counts of filing false income tax returns, alleging that he failed to pay taxes on his winnings from Survivor in 2000 and income he received from a Boston radio station in 2001.

Family Feud airs on Fox Providence (Channel 64) at 9 a.m. weekdays and Pax TV (WPXQ, Channel 69), at 7:30 p.m. weekdays.

Hollywood couple Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth have split after dating for nearly three years.

"They did decide to take some time apart due to their upcoming work schedule, and they remain very close," the couple's representative, Robin Baum, told People magazine. "It was a mutual decision." The couple's split was reported Monday by People.

Bloom, 28, starred in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and last year's Troy.

Bosworth, 22, who starred in 2002's Blue Crush, played Sandra Dee in last year's Beyond the Sea, about 1950s crooner Bobby Darin.

The couple began dating in the spring of 2002.

Lynn Anderson has been accused of shoplifting a Harry Potter DVD from a Taos, N.M. supermarket and punching a police officer.

Anderson's lawyer entered pleas of not guilty on behalf of the 57-year-old country singer to charges of battery on a police officer, resisting a police officer and shoplifting.

Taos County Magistrate Betty Martinez allowed Anderson to seek medical treatment out of state after the pleas were entered Friday. Martinez said she didn't know why Anderson was seeking medical treatment.

Brigitte Ursula Lotze, Anderson's lawyer, said the singer deserves the prayers of Taos residents.

"Ms. Anderson is a loved and respected member of the Taos community," Lotze said.
