Kristian also refused to work with another actor too. I forget his name now but she learned of his gay porn past and wouldn't work with him.

I believe you're referring to Jeff Griggs (ex-Jude St. Clair). I know he had a gay porn past, but I always thought he got along with KA.

I've heard rumors that Kristian Alfonso didn't get along with Lisa Rinna either, and that she was jealous of Eileen Davidson's airtime, which is why we got the dreadful Princess Gina storyline after Davidson left.

Yes. And supposedly that is what partly lead to her being chosen as one of the serial killer victims.

Check out her Adam's Apple for further proof. :P

I heard that they were swingers & they & their husbands would get coked up and have hot tub orgies.

8) William Gray Espy Is A Monk

I hope not. Mitch Blake was the hotness!

Accoring to the book, everyone of those wild rumors have been exaggerated and none of them are true at all.

Jacob Young and Coltin Scott (or Stephen Martines, I don't know which name he wants to be called by now). It seems the logical choice but Young is now married and have a child ...

Have heard that one too. He was Coltin then, Stephen/Steven when he joined GL.

Not so much rumor as slice of life, but someone who has been in her home told me that Looch's basement is a shrine to all things SL. Not such an unusual thing, many actors (like Joan Collins) have a similar vanity room. This person added that mom was always so busy,\ the kids were raised mostly by a treasured housekeeper/nanny, and mom made the most of every moment she had with her children.

And this is an old one, but she apparently pounded the table and exited the ballroom in tears when Robin Strasser won the Emmy in '82.

Oh, I'm pretty sure the Hunter Tylo/Kimberlin Brown stuff is true. What do they say- when rumors persist, there is usually a kernel of truth?

What happened with GH and Tia Carrere?

When Tia was on at one point her appearances got very slim - down to one time a week. So she went on auditions and got a job on the A Team which was against the stipulations of her contract which said she could not act on any other show without GH's permission. She offered to do both shows, but Monty refused to allow it. She went ahead and took the job anyway so GH sued her for a million dollars. The A Team producers didn't want to get in the middle of it, so they fired her and she returned to work on GH but they fired her too.

LOL! This one has been around since I was toothless! LOL! I heard this one and thought it was true for a nano second.

You never know.

Whatever it was it is long gone because according to the book they can't stand each other now. It says that when Hunter left Michael Tylo the first time that Kimberlin and her husband took Michael's side in the split. Hunter later went back to Michael, but the two couples were never friends again. It says it got so bad that both actresses hired bodyguards to protect themselves from the other actress.

Wow, I never knew that. Never mess with your contract...

Jacob Young and Coltin Scott
Yep, heard that one too.
1) Eileen Davison Was Once A Man
I could buy it if it were Raya Medine (ex-Sabrina) it was referring to.
Let's not forget the Kari Wuher v.s. GH lawsuit.
I completely forgot about that!
