So who cares about Kathie Lee now that she’s off the tube? Answer: The National Enquirer, of course.
In a week seemingly devoid of major dirt, the tab has devoted a centerfold piece covering the post-talk show life of perky Kathie Lee.
And this is what the Enquirer has to tell us: 1) Kathie Lee spent three weeks on a cruise with hubby Frank and kiddies Cody and Cassidy vacationing to France. 2) During the trip, Kathie Lee and Frank has rediscovered their love for each other. And 3) Kathie Lee is happy.
A slow week, indeed.
And now, it is time for other tab reports that really matter:
1. “Little Hercules — Believe It or Not, Muscle Kid Is Just Seven Years Old!” (Globe, p. 46) And yes, there’s even a photo of a kid with rippling muscles and a six pack to prove it –- except, to us at least, it looks a lot like the kid’s head was superimposed onto a grown man’s body through Photoshop™ or something.
2. “Brad & Jennifer’s Baby” (Globe, p. 9) Mrs. Brad Pitt is reportedly trying to gain weight so she can get pregnant. And don’t ask us what’s the correlation between the two.
3. “Ben Affleck Has the Hots For ‘Survivor’ Cutie” (Enquirer, p. 1) No, not Greg! Colleen!

6. “Ellen’s Gay Lover Ditched Her For A Man” (Star, p. 16) Yeah, yeah, that’s what they said last week, and the week before that.
7. “George Clooney Paid Ex-Lover $4.5M As He Romances Sexy Charlize Theron” (Star, p. 22) Hold on, but we thought he was dating Lucy Liu.
