MATT Lauer's ex-wife is standing by her ex-man. Nancy Alspaugh, who was married to the "Today" host from 1982 to '89, was overheard at a Hollywood event this weekend complaining about the front-page story in the National Enquirer: "Matt Lauer's Cocaine Dealer Tells All! His Secret Drug Past Exposed." Alspaugh ... wondered: "Who didn't do cocaine in the '80s? - certainly no one I knew." (PageSix)
I guess that means the story about Matt is true.
CBS tries to cover its collective rear - of the Reagan film, big shot Les Moonves says: "Well, No. 1, nobody's seen the film. So any criticism . . . or a film that isn't finished, is rather odd we think . . . We've looked at the rough cut, there are things we like . . . there are things we don't like . . . there are things we think go too far. So there are some edits being made trying to present a more fair picture of the Reagans."
Even Dem-loving columnist Liz Smith wonders, "Did CBS really have to make this tacky movie at this time?"
I must of been hangin' with the wrong peeps, nobody I knew did cocaine and if they did I didn't know about it.

So glad Blair came out with his statement. I did see a short report on the whole thing last night on MSNBC. Loved the way Keith Oberman just glossed right over the fact that clintoon had stabbed Blair in the back.

Bob Novack's teeth are looking better (saw him on MTP). Either that or when I saw him weekend before last the studio lighting was making them look terrible. They now look much better than the old set.
