The president of a Tampa headhunting firm is going to chase around the world on CBS' "Amazing Race 13."

Tina Hunter Stewart Greene, 48, who runs the recruiting firm BioPharmMed, will team with her estranged husband, former NFL player Ken Greene.

According to CBS, the couple are looking to reconnect on the reality competition, which returns to prime time Sept. 28. The couple were not available for comment Tuesday.

"They've been separated and living on different coasts for several months and are ready to put their marriage back together," says a news release from the network.

Ken Greene, 52, played for the St. Louis Cardinals and the San Diego Chargers. He was an assistant coach at Washington State University until May and is working as a homebuilder.

The CBS profile of him says that he "thinks Tina is too controlling and should relax a bit more, but anticipates the race will help them learn to appreciate their differences."

The 11 teams will travel more than 30,000 miles, spanning five continents in 23 days, beginning at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. This round features a variety of firsts, including a real-life water world whose inhabitants live upon a floating city; visits to Cambodia and Kazakhstan; and one team's unprecedented mistake that keeps them from the finish line.

MORE AUDITIONS: On the heels of the "Price is Right" model search held in Tampa last week comes the "Deal or No Deal" model search. You have to be able to carry and open a briefcase.

Interviews begin at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The model search is sponsored by WTTA, Channel 38, also known as MyTV Tampa Bay. A syndicated weekday version of "Deal" debuts in September on WTTA. For information and an application go to www.mytvtampa bay.com

And on Aug. 30, talent scouts from "America's Next Top Model" will be at the Westin Tampa Harbour Island, 725 S. Harbour Island Blvd., Tampa, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Applicants must be 18 to 27 years old and at least 5 feet 7 inches tall.

CAT MAN: A Sarasota man, Ian Stich, and his cat, Quinn, will represent the Tampa area on "The Meow Mix Game Show," a half-hour cat-and-human game show airing in November on GSN (Game Show Network).

Stich, 29, was among hundreds of cat owners who auditioned in Tampa earlier this summer for the chance to win $1 million. Stich, who works at a Starbucks, will be in Hollywood next week taping the show.

TOP TV MOMENTS: Voting is under way at emmys.tv for the "most memorable moments" in TV history.

Among the 40 nominated by a blue ribbon panel are Lucy and Ethel at the candy factory from "I Love Lucy," Dennis Weaver facing road rage in "Duel," James Caan's death scene from "Brian's Song," Chuckles the Clown's funeral from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and the "master of my domain" episode of "Seinfeld."

Voting continues through Sept. 15. The top five dramatic and comedic moments will be featured on the "60th Annual Emmy Awards" on Sept. 21.

WEATHERING CHANGES: WTSP, Channel 10, meteorologist Anna Allen, 43, is leaving the station in September. Her contract was not renewed. Station officials declined comment Tuesday. Allen, who grew up in Bradenton, joined the station in 2003.
