Lisa Rinna's Horrifying Casting Couch Admission

By Rob Shuter Posted Oct 11th 2010 07:50AM

Exclusive: Lisa Rinna tells me her dishy new novel, 'Starlit,' is an inside look at "life on and off the red carpet, full of scandalous backstabbing and lots of sex." She describes it as a "roman à clef," or a novel that describes true events but is disguised as fiction. However, the most shocking real-life event that Lisa left out of the impossible-to-put-down read is a true story about herself and the infamous Hollywood casting couch.

"I lost a role on a BIG TV series because I wouldn't bend over a chair in a producers office for 'just a quickie,'" Lisa admits to me for the first time. "'Just pull your panties down and bend over and the role is yours,' he said to me."

Lisa was just 24 years old at the time and walked away in tears after the disgusting encounter, but that hasn't stopped her from thinking about the producer or that moment every day.

A friend tells me that Lisa has never revealed the producer's name to anyone, including husband Harry Hamlin, but many years later, during the height of her 'Melrose Place' success, she saw the man that propositioned her all those years ago on an industry red carpet. He stopped to say congratulations and she told him, "I know everyone in this town and if you ever do what you did to me again to anyone else I will tell everyone your dirty secret."

So far, Lisa's lips are sealed and so it seems are the producer's pants. For a real insight into the glamour and darkness of Hollywood, pick up Lisa's new book 'Starlit.'

Lisa and Harry talk about their books and new reality show, 'Harry Loves Lisa':

Lisa Rinna who's that? Oh yeah, thats the gal with the 40 pound tuna lips who can't act, and is married to that one time heart throb who's now a wrinkled old has-been. Now the ever disgraceful TVLand has upped it's ante on shi*** TV shows with Lisa Loves Harry. :(

By Dottie

Harry seems normal .. she is definitely nutty do anything for attention .. her silicone face is looks like its going to explode any minute .. I would hide it if I were her guess she did that herself ... she doesn't have to worry about anyone sexually bothering now with those umongous lips who would want to be near her ... go away with your book and let the air out of your face .. its hurtful for viewers to look at .. ugh

By donna r

i'm sure on her worst day, she looks alot better than you every did. what is a Dottie anyway. do you have little or large dots all over you?

By michaelene gon

This gal, Lisa, is in a middle-aged crisis/denial, which she is consciously, or unconsciously not accepting.

She SEEKS publicity.

She is trying to have us buy her book and watch the new show. harry loves lisa! UGH! Lia wants ALL to love her. Sorry Lia, can't.

i agree that he does not look to be putting on his happy face.

Lisa, seems to be a frenetic personality.

Trash bin book.
Amen.

Who makes these people celebrities? What does she contribute to anything? She should be a poster-child for "lips gone bad". These people are pulled off the street and we make them gods. Give me a break. She is NO-ONE!

By MP

SAW HER SATURDAY AT THE S.F. WOMEN'S EXPO. SHE WAS SO VULGAR THAT EVERYONE GOT UP AND LEFT. YEAH FOR THE WOMEN WHO SAID NOT ACCEPTABLE. THERE IS NO NEED FOR BEING THE WAY SHE WAS.

why don't you focus MP on ridding the world of nancy pelosi and the other detrimental liberals who are borne from the mediocrity that is san francisco. not even a good football team is there. you consider someone vulgar because the words they use are too big for you to understand? i'm sure that's what it is.

"So far, Lisa's lips are sealed and so it seems are the producer's pants.".............Correction. Lisa's lips are so ponderous that she can't actually get them open. One thought - Bill Clinton exposed himself, uninvited, to Paula Jones. He propositioned Kathleen Willy shortly after her husband died exactly the same way - she was looking for a job. Since most of you still love Clinton, why would you be so hate-filled about a nameless Hollywood exec. who displays the same behavior? Frankly, the producer didn't actually expose himself, did he?

Worthless stories to sell a book!

If you don't name names, whos to say it's not some kind of fairy tail.

That part of the anatomy "caught" plenty; hence the lip job.

By abeth118

I find her "casting couch" story a load of crap. Her acting ability is nil even when she was on 90210 or whichever it was. She should stick to her clothing store where she doesn't have to "act." If there actually was a situation like she describes, she would have reported it immediately - so, do the math.

By Bill

I have 2 questions. Who in the world are these people, and why in the world do I care about them? I have problems, too, and not ones that I brought on myself through vanity and silliness. Why don't they put me on TV?

By henry

Some pretty awful misuse of grammar here. Wow wee!!!

By dickn2000b

Yup! Her lips are sealed...right around this producer's penis!

By threefromil

I have never seen this woman on much of anything, have no idea why we would care anything about her.

By teri

shes a bimbo

By Gale

What is with her lips? They don't look real, they remind me of those wax lips we used to buy as kids lol.

By nama holston

Her lips are soooooo phoney. She would be so much more attractive if she left the botox alone.
