The Los Angeles Dodgers say they've resolved a dispute with comedian and actor Jon Lovitz over nearly $100,000 in unpaid tickets.

The Dodgers sued Lovitz and others last month over nonpayment for the 2010 season seats, which are located behind home plate. In a statement yesterday, the team said it resolved the case "very quickly, very amicably, and to the satisfaction of both parties."

The Dodgers also said Lovitz is a friend and welcome back at the stadium any time.

Attempts to contact Lovitz were unsuccessful.

ACTRESS' SON SEEKS TO CLEAR HIS RECORD

The son of actress Cybill Shepherd has entered a pretrial program in Pennsylvania requiring his attendance at 24 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in a deal to clear his record of theft charges.

Cyrus Shepherd-Oppenheim was admitted into the program yesterday by Philadelphia Municipal Judge Georganne Daher. The arrangement was part of an agreement with prosecutors.

The 22-year-old University of Pennsylvania student was charged with stealing cash, a camera and other items from carry-on luggage during a United Airlines flight in January. If he completes the program, the charges will be cleared from his record.

Shepherd-Oppenheim is the son of the star of the 1980s "Moonlighting" television show and her ex-husband, chiropractor Bruce Oppenheim.
