Lara Spencer

Cool! A legit semi-famous person that I've actually heard of. Lara Spencer hosts the syndicated celebrity gossip trash The Insider. Now, honestly, I don't know how these shows can survive anymore, what with 4,000 bloggers sitting in SBUX all day long waiting to post the newest "news" about Miley, Posh, St. Angelina and my favorite robot Katie Holmes. By the time The Insider's on, everyone's known that shit for at least 2 hours. Old news. Must be why Lara's got a side job hosting Antiques Roadshow. No joke. How fitting.

One exciting thing about The Insider is that it's the former home of crazy, nasaly, fueled-up, oversexed junkie Pat O'Brien. Of course, that whole description is gleaned from Jimmy Fallon's awful impression of the guy (and what I read on up-to-date gossip blogs). Shame it's not very good because his decent impressions are pretty much Mr. Fallon's only saving grace. These days, they're no match for Justin Timberlake's Michael McDonald*, though.

Speaking of which, why is JT BFF with everyone who's ever been on SNL lately? Lara Spencer & Pat O'Brien certainly weren't BFF on The Insider. I remember reading about their ongoing feud on dlisted.com, my celebrity blog of choice. By the time they actually got around to talking about said feud on their show, even the grandpa who brought in Kit Carson's old-ass blanket to Antiques Roadshow knew about it. Thanks for keeping us all in-the-know, Perez Hilton!

*The other day, I finally realized that "Regulate" by Warren G was sampled from "I Keep Forgettin'" by Michael McDonald. No lie: it came on in a bar last night, and everyone was like "REGULATORS!" No. They were legitimately playing Michael McDonald. Best.
