Ever wonder how the magazines get their "insider" information about celebrities?




It's called sources people, and we're not just talking greedy valets or disgruntled former employees, we're talking big wigs, or wanna-be ones, and some you'd never suspect!

Lauren's leaks to bug-eyed Baker must have worked, seven years later she is a co-host on the TV news show Extra with Mario Lopez. And that, my friends, is how the magazines get their information.
