Is nobody getting laid this fall? Jeez, just check out the message boards: Everybody's hatin'. What, nobody getting any at home? Also, for that Cloris Leachman item earlier today, sent in a lovely, professional shout to Leachman's repper, asking if it was true—as one of our crackerjack sources claimed she overheard Cloris saying herself—that C.L.'s doc was suggesting beta-blockers and heart surgery for the TV and movie legend and the chick who's currently giving Dancing With the Stars some much needed sass. (Samantha Harris' cleavage and vivacity can do only so much.)

What we received from the Leachman rep was a somewhat lecturing, patronizing missive that Cloris has high blood pressure, "which is no secret," and that's she's previously discussed this before, like, get with it, you idiot. Additionally, she snapped, "The rumor about heart surgery is completely false." So glad to know!

But why so testy, sweets? Usually that means, in my jadedass experience, something's up.
