Catfight at Fox Between Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin?

By Rob Shuter Posted Jan 19th 2010 08:00PM

Is Sarah Palin stepping on Glenn Beck's toes in the Fox News sandbox? Word is Beck is a bit concerned that the ex-almost-VP is stealing his FNC thunder and that the News Corp bigwigs are leaning towards Team Sarah. Can't we all just get along? More Beck-Palin drama, plus Ryan Seacrest's fountain of youth and the show every A-lister wants to be on, after the jump!

Sarah Palin's Got Glenn Beck Worried

Sources tell me that Sarah Palin has got all the good old boys at Fox News in a tizzy, particularly the ever-frightened Glenn Beck.

"Sarah is the new flavor of the month at Fox. All the bosses love her. She's an incredibly strong woman who finds a way of getting what she wants," an insider tells me. "And Glenn has convinced himself that it's his 5 p.m. slot that Sarah has her eye on." Ooooh, catty paranoia!

And according to my source, there's only room for one diva at 5 o'clock. "Glenn thinks of himself as the King and isn't going to be replaced by a Queen without a fight."

So does Beck really have anything to worry about? It's true that Sarah is a ratings powerhouse, but as of now, her role will be solely as an analyst appearing on shows hosted by other Fox anchors.

See Glenn, there is plenty of room in the sandbox. Wait, isn't that what NBC told Conan O'Brien?

Ryan Seacrest's Beauty Secrets

Ever wondered how Ryan Seacrest keeps his youthful glow? I have the answer -- he's a sauna-holic.

"Ryan practically lives in the sauna at the Four Seasons Hotel in LA," a friend of the always-working 'Idol' host tells me. "It's strange with all his money that he doesn't have his own sauna at home to enjoy in privacy. But for some reason, Ryan prefers to go to the luxurious Four Seasons to sweat!"

I have been lucky enough to stay at the amazing Four Seasons myself while visiting Hollywood. However, the sight of David Hasselhoff singing in the shower was enough for my delicate eyes ... and the thought of Ryan primping in the steam room is just too much to handle. Sorry, Steamcrest!

'Mad Men' Party Rules the Globes

The hottest party at the Golden Globes was AMC's 'Mad Men' private viewing party, but not because the best show on TV had just won its third consecutive Golden Globe. It was the place to be because every star wanted to get in to score a job on the show.

"It's the hottest show on TV. What actor wouldn't want to be in that cast?" said one A-list actor who had skipped the Weinstein party to try his luck meeting 'Mad Men' creator Matthew Weiner. And although Jeremy Piven was seen leaving with Betty Draper (Miss January Jones), sources tell me he would have rather left with Matt Weiner!

P.S.: Don Draper's drink of choice was not an Old Fashioned. Jon Hamm was seen with a glass of celebratory champagne!

Scott Brown wins HUGE in Democrat Mass and AOL does not even cover it. Would AOL and the rest of the left leaning media be angry? This is hilarious!

I love how you people "assume" that Fox News is the the "truth" and all other networks are liberal propaganda. They are all political propaganda, including Fox News, that exist soley to send their personal agenda and message out to the American people. They are all jaded to their side, whether that be extreme right wing, or extreme liberal. Glen Beck is a radical joke. Bill O'Reily gets it half right, half of the time, and then always manages to go off the deep end. Anyone who sides with the likes of Ann Coulter, a truly vial extreme elitist, can't be considered to be unbiased. As for Palin, once an idiot, always an idiot. My opinion of her has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that she is a republican. It simply has to do with the fact that she is a complete and total idiot with zero executive experience. Having her in any high ranking office, would be a terrible mistake to whichever party. She couldn't even finish out one whole governor stint in Alaska. Are you kidding me? If she is the "great hope" for the Republican party, we are all in big trouble!

I watch Fox all the time, if they would just quit using "fair and balanced", because they are not. I think they all mean well, but, only use one side of their brain, I prefer to use both sides of mine. Sarah Palin is a dynamic woman, but president, you gotta be kidding.

I suppose Obama finished his term in the senate .I love how Palin has no eperience to lead despite actually running a state but obama is qualified despite serving a partial senate term

Oh no, is poor Glenn going to cry again, of course she is, it's all this sick sociopath, who last week fawned all over Sarah the Tard, the same whiny little girl who whines and cries more than any woman or little girl ever has, read his journal to Sarah and told her this is what I wrote about you last night. Even the clueless moron Palin, was sitting their looking very afraid. It's time fox dump this joke, just like every other network she has been on. I mean Geraldo was the most hilarious hiring in the history of television,but crying clown beck is proving himself, again, as the hugest laughingstock in television history , not just fox "news" sad history. But then , it is fox, I'm sure they and their loyal fan's are honored to have Beck in their lineup, and that's all anyone need's to say about fox and it's hilarious viewers.

Absolutely the dumbest article ever posted to the web

How is it that these anti-FOX blogger know so much about what's going on at the network? It takes a lot of watching and listening to know what Beck, Palin or any of those under scrutiny are doing. Any time a columnist quotes "sources", you can be pretty sure it's a manufactured rumor. It'll keep people tuned in to Beck and Palin, though, so go to it!

Does it really matter which DOLT has the 5pm time slot??? They get the same MEMO's, use the same CATCH PHRASES and DICTATE the same SCARE TACTICS to their followers of IGNORANCE anyway!!!

By dtrov

Fox is a biased right wing joke? Are you serious? Check out CNN, MSNBC and all the others if you want to witness bias. Fox is killing the others because it does have both sides except for shows like Beck, Hannity and so forth. O'Reilly is more moderate for those that actually watch and is fair. I don't know where you get the info on Beck and Palin but there is nothing out there from a legitimate source that indicates that Beck is fighting with her. Nothing at all. There is bias on both sides depending on your political leanings and that is normal but there are those who are looking for truth and that is Fox News and why it is so successful. Get a grip left wingers and all you high taxing, government intruding supporters who want this country to go broke even more than it is.

The liberal media would love for us to believe that story on Beck/Palin, but I DON'T believe it. From the interview I watched of Beck with Palin, he admires her greatly.

I think the media WISHES there were a "cat fight", but keep WISHING. Smart people don't play your games! Nice Try!
