Actress Tawny Kitaen insists she's still close to the ex-husband she once battered with a stiletto.

Police were called when theBachelor Party star attacked baseball pitcher Chuck Finley after he threatened to divorce her if she didn't seek help for her Vicodin habit. The painkiller abuse, coupled with years of cocaine use, turned Kitaen into a temperamental wreck and she beat Finley with her shoe in the family car.

Now a member of the new season of VH1's reality show Celebrity Rehab, Kitaen is merely grateful that she and Finley are still friends. She says, "I got arrested for attacking a 6ft 8, 245 pound man. We continued on with the divorce... but he is my best friend, he is the love of my life."
