NBC News picks up our exclusive report on Farrah's missing diaries


Hey, this is news: a mainstream network news operation has picked up an exclusive report from Tabloid Baby.com-- and given us attribution!

A tip of the Tabloid Baby hat to NBC New York, the website for NBC's New York City news operation,and veteran newsman Michael Horowicz, who this afternoon posted a story on Farrah Fawcett's missing diaries:

"The publisher of Alana Stewart's book, entitled 'My Journey With Farrah,' is mum on reports that the book contains words from Farrah Fawcett's own diary, which has gone missing."

Most crucially, Horowicz adds:

"The website 'Tabloid Baby' quotes an 'insider' as saying 'The scuttlebutt is that this book ... contains Farrah's words from her diary'..."


With a link! That's rare. Top Internet news sites like Ray Richmond's Man Bites Hollywood and our new pal The Big Cheese at Hollywood's Rumor Rat always play it fair, as we all break stories and link to the sources-- but one of the mainstream organizations were challenging? Huzzahs for Horowicz!

What's most impressive is that Horowicz and crew followed up on our reportage and took the story to the next level:

"When contacted by WNBC-TV News, officials at Harper Collins, the book's publisher, had no comment."

The hacks in Las Vegas should take a cue from a real pro journo like Michael Horowicz.
