Hollywood stylists tell all!

Date: 5 Dec. 2011

Star has one of those grab bag "bad help" stories dominating the front cover. This time it's Hollywood stylists dishing dirt.  First there's a list of "Guess who" gossip, followed by specific insults.  The part of the story that listed who smelled bad was published already as a Meanest Story of the Week nominee.

Here's the guess who part.

• Who's a hoarder! 
• Who duct tapes her boobs! 
• Who goes commando!

J. Lo: Cellulite & Spanx

Angie: padded butt

Britney: Fast food stains on borrowed clothing!

Serena: bald spot

Kathie Lee: It's the pits!

Fussin' and Feudin' Alert™: Kathie Lee to replace Regis... and he's furious!

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 3 Oct. 2011

Daytime TV is for an older demographic, and that demographic reads the low rent Examiner. Regis Philbin is leaving his successful show and the rumor is he will be replaced by his former partner Kathie Lee Gifford, a development of which he disapproves. Here are the headlines.

• She'll RUIN the show, he rages
• Last Show: Nov. 18, 2011
  

Other sources confirm the last show's date, but no mention of his replacement has yet been made.

Regis' shocking tell-all book!

Publication: Globe
Date: 25 July 2011

Only the two supermarket rags that have the lion's share of Hey Old Timer Gossip, the Globe and the low rent Examiner, think Regis Phiblin is a source of hot dish. This time it's the Globe who says their is a tell-all book, for which someone will be paid $10 million. It isn't clear on the cover whether he is the author or someone is ratting on him. Here are the headlines.

• Divorce bombshell
• Other women
• How he nearly died - THREE TIMES
• Inside: Shocking truth about Kathie Lee
  

Kathie Lee wants Regis' job!

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 7 March 2011

The low rent Examiner and her sister publication the Globe have been the source of all Regis Philbin stories over the past two years, which fits in nicely with their target demographic of the extremely aged who watch way too much daytime TV. A year ago, before it was clear that Regis would be quitting, the Globe said Pat Sajak wanted Regis' job. Now it's the low rent Examiner's turn, and they say Regis' previous partner Kathie Lee Gifford wants the gig.

And the camera noses in to the tears on her face: Kathie Lee's tragic breakdown as ex-love dies

Publication: Globe
Date: 7 March 2011

Two stories about Kathie Lee Gifford this week, one in the Globe and one in the low rent Examiner. For both these rags, Kathie Lee is in the sweet spot of interest to their demographic, old pensioners who watch way too much TV. The Globe tells us an old flame of hers has died, thought they don't say who, and she's completely torn up about it.

Fussin' and Feudin' Alert™:Kathie Lee rips Regis!

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 17 January 2011

The low rent Examiner tells us Kathie Lee Gifford is angry at Regis Philbin and is quoted as saying "He betrayed me!" This post gets the Hey Old Timer Gossip label because Regis was on the air back in the 1960s before I graduated high school. I would guess some of the Old Timers in the demographic sweet spot of the low rent Examiner are not even clear that Kathie Lee left the show over a decade ago, replaced with a perky blond nearly twenty years her junior.
