When The Big Cheese first perused the pictures RadarOnline snagged of Heidi Montag strolling on a Costa Rican beach, he thought there was an issue with the photo quality.
See the white spot on her lipo-sucked tummy? Of course you do, it’s in the middle of the big white circle we drew there for chrissakes.
Perhaps the late great Dr. Frank Ryan overdid the lipo to such an extent that he sucked the pigment from her pooch?
Or maybe she suffers from the same skin disease Michael Jackson had.
Whatever it is, it shows up in every shot taken from every angle, so our original theory about a photographic flaw, is in fact flawed.
Some of Radar’s other pictures are after the jump.
The country nearly lost a national treasure this week, and The Rat thinks it knows who’s behind the plot that nearly led to Paris Heir-head Hilton’s demise.
On Tuesday morning, The Grim Reaper knocked on Hilton’s door in the Hollywood Hills. But the Norma Desmond of 2010 had the good sense to call 911 rather than opening it and allowing the man carrying two large knives to enter and have tea with her.
How much would you pay to see this man laying pipe with plastic wifey Heidi Montag?
Vivid Video is apparently willing to put out a lot to see his wife put out.
Word on the street is that Spencer Pratt asked Vivid for $5 million to make the video available to the masses. And they didn’t tell him to “get the f**k outta here!”
Only a TMZ-tard could claim a celebrity’s birthday as an “Exclusive” story.
Yep. That’s what they did today with the spawn of Courtney Love and the late Kurt Cobain, Francis Bean… reporting exclusively that her guardianship ended Wednesday, which was her 18th birthday. You get the whole 18th birthday thing, right? Everybody knows it’s the day on which people legally become adults and are no longer subject to parental or in this case grandparental guardianship or control.
Somehow, TMZ’s under the assumption that nobody realizes this, so they’re reporting it as “exclusive,” two days after the fact.
These days, everybody’s all about being green… the 21st Century mantra of many seems to be “reduce, re-use & recycle.”
Well, Harvey Levin and his TMZ-tards are certainly doing their part to green things up… specifically, they’re recycling stories that appeared weeks earlier on their big competitor, RadarOnline.
Radar’s been ruling the roost when it comes to coverage of the scandalous Mel Gibson/Oksana Grigorieva separation and the subsequent war of words between the whacked-out Oscar winner with anger-control issues and his fortune-hunting former concubine.
Note the story above (click on it to read the whole thing), which allegedly breaks the news that the babysitter was front & center for Mel & Oksana’s mutual meltdown on January 6th.
Panic’s setting in among high-ranking overpaid staffers at Larry King Live.
Rumor Rat has learned that network president Jon Klein has set a date for Larry’s last regular show on the network and that a deal with new host Piers Morgan has been completed.
King hasn’t been told yet (unless he happens to be a closet Rat reader) that he’ll do his final regular show in early December. That task is being left up to his executive producer.
Our sources tell us that the arrival of Piers will result in a complete overhaul of the show’s format. It will no longer be live, instead being taped four days per week (one of those days will have two tapings).
LKL staffers have yet to be told anything officially by Klein or the show’s executive producer, but The Big Cheese has learned that network flacks have a press release announcing the changes ready to go to the media.
As Rumor Rat has reported previously, show employees who are under contract have been told by Klein that they won’t be released from their deals until the last show airs. By the same token, nobody is guaranteed a new job with the Morgan regime. Instead, current employees of “Larry King Live” will have to resign and re-apply for their positions. No guarantees are being made that they will be re-hired.
On the field, Manuel and Lalo are soccer teammates in the hit primetime Argentine soap “Botineras.”
But off the fictional field, and inside the fictional locker room, let’s just say things are getting complicated when it comes to the question of which team the two play for.
Take a look at the video below (our story continues after the jump).
CNN-US President Jon Klein told long-time Larry King staffers "if you're under contract, you're here till the last day."
This week’s gone from bad to worse for staffers at CNN’s “Larry King Live.”
Less than 24 hours after the shocking news that their on-air leader would soon retire from the nightly grind, they were rounded up by telephone for a conference call with CNN-US president Jon Klein.
“We expected a pep talk,” one person who listened in on the Wednesday call tells The Rat. “What we actually got was a clear message that if we’re under contract, we’re expected be here until Larry says his last goodbye.”
But Klein refused to make any guarantees about keeping the contracted staffers on the network’s payroll after King’s November swansong.
One-time Hollywood powerhouse talent agent Ed Limato — who, as Rumor Rat was first to report, entered Cedars Sinai several weeks ago — has been released from the hospital, and sent home after doctors gave him little chance of survival.
Limato, who’s represented the likes of Mel Gibson, Denzel Washington and Richard Gere, was admitted to Cedars in May with a serious illness, according to Rumor Rat sources.
During the weeks that followed, our sources say, he showed no improvement.
Limato worked with ICM agency for 32 years before winning a bitter court battle in 2007 to free himself from his contract. He and a number of his A-list clients quickly landed at William Morris.
