Us Weekly continues to battle with former employee Jill Ishkanian over information which was allegedly stolen from Us' computers. The FBI searched Ishkanian's home last month, in search of evidence that she did in fact take information from Us Weekly to start her own paparazzi agency, Sunset Photo and News.

Not that she's denying accessing Us Weekly's computer system — she, along with everyone else who had ever worked at the glossy, had access to the email system through Amy Sultan's name and password, all of which was authorized by Paris Hilton BFF Ken Baker. And now Us is just a little peeved that this ex-employee (who's probably being cc'd on all these inter-office memos) is scooping the tabloid.

It gets even shadier when we find out that even the "Hollywood figures" the tabloid dishes about have access to these emails. Maybe Us should hold off on throwing an office-wide baby shower for Reese Witherspoon.
