With reports swirling that there's video of Larry Birkhead's alleged encounter with Howard K. Stern, TMZ spoke with Rita Cosby, who makes the allegation in her upcoming book. Rita says she hasn't seen the video but knows people who have.

Birkhead and Stern say no such video exists because there was never an encounter, and they will sue anyone who makes such an allegation.







O'Reilly OK with Talking to Rita Cosby

TMZ has learned that FOX News' righty flamethrower, Bill O'Reilly, is still planning to interview Rita Cosby about her controversial Anna Nicole book, legal threat or no threat -- even though the "Today" show pulled the plug on their interview this morning, after getting a searing letter threatening legal action from Howard K. Stern's lawyer, Lin Wood.


We're told that Cosby has confirmed her appearance on "The O'Reilly Factor" this evening and is scheduled to appear on several other news and talk shows this week. Early this morning, "Today" backed out of its sit-down with Cosby after Wood threatened to sue the program for any false information that she might pour forth during her talk with Matt Lauer

You scared me. I thought someone had given her a show. Thankfully we'll only be treated to a round of appearances for only a limited time frame. She'll milk her new book and then, hopefully, she'll disappear again.

I figured it was the roll-off containers being changed across the street.

You kill me!!!

:hi:

I have a lot of time to kill too... okay not really.

:rofl:

and the weird pressing the really weird

:rofl:

Please that is so unLiberal.

She is the quintessential non-news reporter skewer her for that.

:rofl:

people often mistake me for a man on the telephone. :cry:

was a thread about something important. In fact, I think I know who Stern is/was (her lawyer, right?) But the other guy is unfamiliar. But then, I barely know anything about that whole mess so I guess I'll have to Google Birkhead.

there are people like Rita who are there to not only pick up the story to make sure that YOU get all the facts but, completely as a coincidence, use the story to milk every dollar out of a corpse as is possible.

Or a threesome? Oh forget it. When I get a minute I'll find out for myself.

:rofl:

If you listen, her voice has improved markedly... but why such a hang up? Robert Kennedy Jr.?

about her medical condition, or her natural voice. For all I know, she strained her voice, trying to gain the attention of O. J. Simpson. But someone hired her to appear on TV when her voice was normal(?), I assume, and they continued to have her on TV after her voice was strained(?), without telling her to give it a rest.

Not to pick on you but after over six years here this place sure isn't what it used to be.

Rita Cosby
From Demopedia

A couple of years ago, when somebody ranted against her, a DUer said, "Leave Rita alone. I knew her when she was a local reporter and she is SWEET." With that in mind, a monitoring of her on Faux for a year or two yielded this take:

She is a hustler (in the hard-working sense). She gets out there and beats the bushes (if not the Shrubs). She literally pounded the landfill of that Utah wife and the shore of the PETERSON wash-up.

Her territory is the same as Whorealdo's, but with a touch more delicacy. Her thing is to "get" Bad Boys. She pen pal-ed with McVEIGH and BERKOWITZ. She telephone-interviewed MILOSEVIC. She beats out others on the same stories because she gets on the inside of whatever the hottest tabloid story of the day is: She has a long list of the actual Bad Boys notched on her interview belt. But if she can't "get" the main interviewee (CONDIT or PETERSON), she will get a family member, a neighbor, or the neighbor's dog.

Her method? She sweet-talks the culprits on their "good" side and their nearest and dearest to boot. Unlike Whorealdo who screams at Charles MANSON, she approaches her targets as flawed humans who have at least a tiny particle of goodness, perhaps even with some true or calculated spirituality. If anybody saw Whorealdo "interview" MANSON years ago, you saw him scream epithets and profanities at him. Yes, the names-called and Whorealdo's reactions are TRUE, but it's not a technique that will yield insight into how the target's mind works or even document actual events of the story.

When Whorealdo defecated, uh, defected, to Faux, he made the obligatory tour of all the Faux circuses, swearing allegiance to his new Wingnut gods. O'LOOFAH said to him, "What to you bring to Faux that we don't already have?" It was true. His show followed Rita's and both of them were usually on the same stories, but Rita was scooping him on all the "gets".

After his first couple of years, when he was feeling secure enough at Faux, he started showing pique. Once both he and COSBY were promo-ing their own circuses on an earlier Faux circus, sitting side by side in a Two shot. It was clear that COSBY had the better "gets" on the same story and Whorealdo was FURIOUS. He was STEAMING and wouldn't even look at her. She finally reached over and put her hand on his knee, much as Aunt Bee might do, which probably made him MORE furious.

The degree of her Wingnuttiness is up in the air. Her stuff tends to be more of the tabloid human interest variety more than ideology, but time will tell as she starts on MSRNC. --UTUSN 12:49, 31 Jul 2005 (EDT)
