Free Stuff Gift Greedy Hoarding Lindsay Lohan The Insider

LINDSAY LOHAN CAN’T GET ENOUGH FREE STUFF

Lindsay Lohan makes it a habit to visit as many gifting suites as possible at this time of year. We just wonder if it’s a good idea for someone who admits she is a HOARDER. You’ll remember Lindsay did an interview with Niecy Nash for The Insider last year and showed off her apartment jampacked with boxes, shoes, racks of clothing, and garments and bags strewn everywhere. Undoubtedly, somewhere in that mess were bags of stuff from various gifting suites through the years. Some people just can’t get enough….

Antiques Roadshow Entertainment Tonight Estate Sale Jan Murray Mary Hart The Insider

LARA SPENCER CAUGHT BARGAIN HUNTING AT JAN MURRAY ESTATE SALE

Last weekend we went to the estate sale of the late rat-pack comic Jan Murray at his midcentury modern former home in Beverly Hills. The place was packed with furniture and collectibles – photos of Jan with Sinatra and Milton Berle, Joey Bishop and Henny Youngman – all those old-time Las Vegas comics, and Jan’s massive cuff link collection. We spotted a 1960’s royal blue Italian ceramic turtle on a shelf and were reaching for it when a pretty blonde in short shorts yelled “That’s mine!” It turned out to be Lara Spencer who explained she was gathering items for “a house” she was decorating and scooped up the turtle. We were surprised to hear that the former host of “Antiques Roadshow” and present host of “The Insider” was decorating someone’s house – she never seemed very interested in the furniture on “Roadshow.” But not only is she decorating, but she wrote a book on the subject – being published next October. So she didn’t need Mary Hart’s job on E.T. anyway.

Embarrassing! Fired Lara Spencer Pat O'Brien Substance Abuse The Insider

PAT O'BRIEN COULDN'T KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT

Pat O’Brien had plenty of chances to do the right thing and keep his job at The Insider but his astonishing ego and arrogance (perhaps fueled by substance abuse) got the best of him. He should have lost his job a few years ago when those sexually graphic voicemails surfaced. We don’t believe for a minute that this was an “amicable” parting. That email he sent to coworkers complaining about the host who replaced him, Lara Spencer, and her fashion commentary HAD to be written by a man under the influence. We’re betting he’ll check right back into rehab (for the third time in 3 years.) But this time The Insider won’t be paying for it.
