(Sept. 16) - Pat O'Brien, one-time host and current correspondent for "The Insider", really loves women. If you weren't convinced by the 2005 scandal when voice mails revealed Pat O'Brien drunkenly begging a women for sex - which resulted in a stay at a rehab facility and his eventual demotion at "The Insider" - check out the email he recently sent staffers at "Insider" and "Entertainment Tonight."

FIGHT!

    The tensions have simmered between 'Trek' co-stars William Shatner and George Takei for decades. But it's Shatner who leashes out in a nasty YouTube video after he's left off Takei's wedding guest list.

    Andy Samberg's seemingly harmless impression of him on 'Saturday Night Live' didn't sit well with Mark Wahlberg, who told the NY Post that "it wasn't like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, that's for sure." He went on to say he's turned down offers to host the late-night staple "a ton of the times."

    The war of fists between the Blonsky and Golden families has turned into a war of words, as Blonsky now says she is "completely destroyed" by their July airport brawl.

    Mischa Barton vs. Victoria Beckham: The actress has launched a one-woman, and ultimately one-sided, fashion battle with the extremely stylish Spice Girl. "Posh doesn't strike me as particularly stylish," she said. "I don't think she's a good example of British style at all."

    Dennis Quaid vs. Meg Ryan: The former husband and wife who divorced in 2001 are feuding again, as Ryan has said in multiple interviews that Quaid's infidelity caused her to have an affair.

    Pat O'Brien vs. Lara Spencer : Pat O'Brien, former host and current correspondent of 'The Insider' wrote an email to staffers this weekend, slamming his colleague Lara Spencer. He suggested Spencer's most popular work "makes the viewers want to vomit." Nice.

    Roger Ebert vs. Lou Lumenick: Thyroid cancer has literally left Ebert speechless, so when his sightline was obstructed during a screening this week, the critic tried repeatedly to use tapping and gestures to get the attention of the guy in front of him. That dude was rival critic Lou Lumenick, who probably didn't think it through before hitting Ebert on the leg.

    Alec Baldwin vs. Greg Garcia: One day after Alec Baldwin criticized 'My Name Is Earl' in the New Yorker, the show's creator/executive producer Greg Garcia took a few jabs at Baldwin, calling him a "psychotic narcissist."

    Elton John and Lily Allen took a few under-the-belt shots at each other while they hosted the GQ Men of the Year awards in Britain. John went after Allen's drinking and she shot back and made fun of his age.

    "Evil spawn Angelina Jolie and her vacuous hubby Brad Pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity," Roseanne Barr writes on her blog. She also criticizes the couple for not supporting Barack Obama.

According to Page Six, the 60-year-old tabloid journalist wrote, "Hi, folks, I just spent a couple of days in Iowa - I'm a little bit of a favorite son there - and I spoke with maybe a thousand people and was very hands-on. Even Joe Biden said, 'You should be running (for president)!' But what I came away with was, these people can't afford gas, books, food or schools or movies!
"I was approached a hundred times by people asking, 'Can you help us?' I tried to tell them we care, but they didn't buy it. They wanted to, but watching Anya and Lara [Spencer] pick out accessories makes the viewers want to vomit. I'll get killed for this, but I'm actually the one not afraid for my job. I want people to be happy."
Humble words from a humble fellow. The accessories in question appear in the "Look for Less" feature, where Lara Spencer shows viewers how to copy her style on a strict budget. It's among the most popular segments on "The Insider," but after Pat O'Brien's stint in Iowa, he seems unconcerned with petty issues like the success of his show. Or respect for the woman who took over his job.
Hint to Pat O'Brien: It's hard to pull off "compassion" while showing so much disdain for your colleagues. Speaking of wanting to vomit...

Pat O'Brien is wrong to be disin Lara Spencer. Pat should have been fired a few years ago with begging for sex. And I doubt no one came up to him when he was in Iowa and said I don't like that fashion part of the insider. People know what there watching if they watch the Insider entertainment and gossip.TMZ, Extra, Access Hollywood, E News Live, Daily 10 on E! those are good entertaiment shows plus I like to get away from the doom and gloom about housing, gas prices etc if I want to hear that stuff I will just watch CNN or Fox News.

It's a little hard to believe that hundreds of people in Iowa walked up to Pat O'Brien and said, "Can you help us?" Come on, Pat, you're a reporter on "The Insider", a frivolous celebrity tabloid television show, not 20/20 or Dateline!

Anyone that would vote for McBush and Palin is either rich or a moron. That old fart won't make it 4 years and then we're stuck with a hockey mom for president who knows NOTHING! Lose a war my ass! We shouldn't have been there in the first place. We need to go to Afghanistan where the terrorists really are, and not continue Bush's war. We've done enough, let Iraq take over which they should have done a long time ago. How many lives and how much money do we need to lose before you war mongers see the light! Bush is THE worst president this country has ever seen, and McCain will just follow in his footsteps.

I'd vote for the late actor, Pat O'Brien, for President, not the current celebrity, Pat O'Brien. And Jimmy Cagneyfor Vice President and Rosalind Russell for Secretary of State and Cary Grant for Secretary of Defense. Ho Ho HO, marrrry christmas!

just a typical left wing press.they are ready to tear anyone down,because they are a story in them self.NBC,ABC CBS&cnn plus a few i didn't mention.Clinton brought this to a head.when wild willy was elected morals in this country declined rapidly.his impeachment showed us just how bad it became.though some people didn't want to believe it,they now believe it to be true and it's time we took this head on.we need to follow suite with France and Germany.they dumped the trash out in thier last election.now they are making a turn around.but we desperately need to get rid of reed&polosie they are the idiots that sent this country in to turmoil.there do nothing attitude because they knew that not drilling in this country would while oil prices were skying would turn heads.but,we are not the dummies,we know what's really going on.they would rather run country down,lose a war for the chance of political gains.that's why 75% will vote for "THE HONERABLE JOHN S. MCCAIN AND SARAH PALIN" "DISABLED...

I totally agree. Who gives a flying f about fashion when I like more than half our nation are worrying bout how to get to work and back home each day, how am I going to feed, clothe, house and educate my children. And God forbid if my car should need repair or some other catastrophic financial burden. It will put me on the street pushing a grocery cart. I do not care about dressing like J Lo for less. I can't even think about buying shoes at Payless. Im tired of having the haves, their vacations, their multiplyling families, their public fights shoved in my face 24/7. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I DONT CARE WHO WHAT OR WHERE EXCEPT FOR WHO IS GOING TO PAY ME, HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO BE AND WHERE IS IT GOING TO STRETCH..............
