I know my kid's a star & my sister's a murder victim

Did anyone notice the bizarre cross-promotion on cable television over the weekend? Tru TV's cookie cutter crime series, Missing Persons Unit, ran an episode Saturday night about how DNA technology helped police in New Jersey solve a ten-year-old missing person case, charging Stephen Alfred Vanderbeek with murdering his wife Cynthia Louise Vanderbeek back in 1995.

Appearing on the Tru TV show was Cynthia's sister, who'd reported her missing. Hey, she looked familiar! She was Sandy DiFranco-- who, with her son Gian, was a contestant on I Know My Kid's A Star on VH1-- until she was kicked off last week!

Small world.

(See a clip of Sandy on the Tru TV series here-- and by the way, I Know My Kid's A Star is a great evil show, and host Danny Bonaduce is powerfully effective-- miles away from his own reality seasons).

Dr. Ruehl is a sexy trip hop dance music video star

Tabloid Baby pal, contributor and columnist Dr. Franklin Ruehl, Ph.D. is world-renowned as a television host and expert on all things scientific, paranormal, cosmic and horror movie, but in the past year or so has made major inroads into the field of dramatic acting, in television series like The Ghost Whisperer, Jericho and Mad Men, music videos like Sara Barielle’s Love Song and movies like Nothing But The Truth.

This morning, the good Doctor informs us he’s starring in another hot new music video. And this one’s the sexiest and wildest yet: “Doesn’t Matter” by trip hop trance dance team Hypasonsic. Dr. Ruehl appears two minutes and thirty seven seconds into this underwater pool sex orgy, in a Kids Choice-worthy role as a pool cleaner.
