That’s one difficult job - anchoring a *legal* show. As I see it - Greta has to stifle any common sense, bite her tongue, pretend to be *neutral*, avoid pandemic libel lawsuits agains FNC, have reliable sources, suck-up to shinola artists like HK$, OJ Simpson, Juran Van der Sloot and live with herself.

The money must be good!

**we don’t even know where Rita is**

I hope she’s safely back in the USA!

Two women who once worked for Anna Nicole Smith are now suing former MSNBC journalist Rita Cosby for falsely using them as a source in her scandalous new book, Blonde Ambition, in which she claimed that Anna’s lawyer, Howard K. Stern had video taped a sex act with her boyfriend, Larry Birkhead.

The two women, Quethlie Alexis and Nadine Alexie, had worked as nannies for Anna Nicole, and claim never to have even spoken with Rita Cosby. According to their lawyer, Elizabeth Thompson, they have also said that they never told anyone about a sexual encounter between Stern and Birkhead.
Thompson said, “They don’t know one way or another if it happened.”

Rita Cosby book makes the claim that the nannies told a private investigator that Anna liked to sit in bed and watch a tape of Birkhead and Stern having sex. Cosby, however, stands by her book, and also attributes that allegation of a sexual encounter to a friend of Smith.

“We have a number of sources,. We have it attributed directly to a private investigator who specifically said that,” said Rita Csoby.

Howard K. Stern has filed a $60 million libel lawsuit against Cosby and her publisher, Hachette Book Group. An attorney for Larry Birkhead said that he will also sue.

*I’m annoyed*

Remember the good ol’ days BC (before Cosby) when we could be *annaoyed*?

Then Rita flew in, stealing thunder - barefooted. Damn, Rita - you better have your lightening rods grounded!

If all the research, evidence and important information gets chucked overboard - just because Rita cannot substantiate that gay encounter - I will be so angry with her.

It looks as if Rita is getting *Mark Fuhrmaned*.

I talk to James from TimeSquare and he said he has talk to Rita and yes she is safely back in the good U.S.A..

Its seems bad when someone like Greta has to reach out to her bloggers for the truth.

Thanks Sun. I doubt if Howard would show up. But I’m hoping Rita will.

Just heard that John Gibson on Fox will play the videos at 4:00 p.m. cst.

Welllllllllllllll - not so fast.

If those 2 BBFs had a gay encounter or two there’s no good reason to deny it - it’s no-one’s business. Especially since Anna was bi, & they all moved in circles where homosexuality is totally acceptable, preferred even.

Now, there can never be any type of future *coupling* or *outing* announcement - or the whole world will realize they lied. This is a conundrum.

The only explanation has to be Larry’s custody proof of his fitness as a single parent.

Don Clark just on John Gibson. The nannies told him about Anna watching a sex tape - and although he was not Rita’s source, he stands by her story. Geraldo chimed in about Rita not having *malice* in printing the story. Gibson was concerned about *recklessness*.

This is getting bizarre. All this fuss over a sex tape a la Pamela A., Paris Hilton, and Rosanne? Rita stated she never saw the tape, merely reported what was told her. Other had also heard of it.

I missed some of the segment. Paraphrasing: Clark definitively said the nannies told him and his representatives that they had seen Anna watch *Larry* in a sex act.

He did not mention Howard by name and he did not use the term *gay* or *homosexual*. I was hoping for more - but he wrapped up his comments in support of Rita’s book.

He did full disclosure by stating he represented Virgie, O’Quinn & Neil McCabe. He did not offer money - and the nannies were represented by a lawyer (Thompson) and Lincoln Bain. Do not know when Clark interviewed the nannies.

Diversion. Diversion. Diversion.

This is a minor issue. I agree with those who say this is to trash Rita and a frantic effort to get attention away from something else in the book.

If Gibson is worried about "recklessness," he should look into the reporting on the Duke lacrosse players.

This uproar over the tape is a coverup of something else. Rita must have something in her book that has them really worried.
