The Dodgers have kicked off their season with a phenomenal record, but now the new owners can finally start rejoicing because the $2 billion deal is officially CLOSED!

Magic Johnson is now the public face of the major league ball club with Mark Walter running things behind the scenes while Stan Kasten serves as CEO.

“The Dodgers emerge from the Chapter 11 reorganization process having achieved its objective of maximizing the value of the Dodgers through a successful Plan of Reorganization, under which all claims will be paid. The Dodgers move forward with confidence — in a strong financial position; as a premier Major League Baseball franchise; and as an integral part of and representative of the Los Angeles community.”

Former owner Frank McCourt, who drove the team into bankruptcy, didn't make out too bad either. He reportedly made about a billion bucks through the deal and still got to maintain some ownership of the stadium's parking lot.

One would think all this financial turmoil would have affected the team's game, but they are better than ever. Matt Kemp and the rest of the Dodgers crew are #1 in the National League West!

Keep up the good work, guys! Playoffs are a LONG way off!

People against pork have had a major victory thanks to Maxim senior editor Seth Porges.

It turns out Chipotle has been cooking "a small amount of bacon" with their pinto beans over the years. While they make note of the beans secret ingredient on their website, there is no indication of this on the burrito chains in-store menu.

Porges, who does not eat pork for "for religious and cultural reasons", recently made the shocking discovery and was appalled! So appalled he immediately took to Twitter, writing:

"After more than decade of ordering Chipotle pinto beans, I was told they have bacon. As non-pork eater, I feel ill."

"Was shocked to discover Chipotle puts bacon in their pinto beans. Why is it not posted on menu?"

Surprisingly, his message was heard loud and clear. After emailing the company to complain, CEO Steve Ells responded immediately and informed the Maxim editor Chipotle would change its menu to include a mention of the bacon in its pinto beans.

Following the quick exchange, Porges tweeted:

"Razor quick response from @chipotlemedia, whose exec called to discuss fixes to Pinto/Bacon issue. Will call back ASAP. Thanks guys!"

"Just spoke to head of Chipotle. Said I got them to change menus to say Pinto has bacon! Awesome & nimble response! Thanks"

We really respect Chipotle for responding so quickly and favorably to their customers needs! Bravo!

Just because Apple CEO Steve Jobs is on sick leave doesn’t mean he still doesn’t have work to do!

A source has revealed that Jobs will attend a meeting with Obama on Thursday during the President’s visit to California.

Jobs is a pancreatic cancer survivor and stepped away from the company last month due to health problems.

It’s unclear what the meeting will be about — maybe Obama wants a new iPhone!
