News broke in May that Us Weekly was working with the FBI to investigate a rash of hacking into its computer system. The suspect? Former staffer and current paparazzi agency head Jill Ishkanian, who was accused of stealing information about Charlie Sheen. Last month it was revealed Us' systems weren't so secure: not only could Ishkanian access the tabloid's email, but so could the very celebrities the mag writes about, thanks to rank abuse of staffer Amy Sultan username and password. But aside from being able to scoop Us at its own game – which, to be fair, is a pretty big deal – thus far the scurry to close the leak hasn't had a big item on which to pin Janice Min's fear. Thanks to the wide open net our inbox casts, we've got at least one rumor on which we can lay our suspicions.
I know exactly what Us Weekly is now terrified will eventually come out in the investigation. Do you remember the Ryan Seacrest/Teri Hatcher in Malibu kissing pictures taken on March 25, 2006, that ran EXCLUSIVELY in Us Weekly? No surprise to savy media watchers, but it seems the pix were a set up, (without poor Hatcher's knowledge) between Us' West Coast Editor Ken Baker and his longtime BFF Ryan Seacrest. There is serious concern that there are now copies of those incriminating e-mails now floating around cyberspace that prove the two were involved in setting up the Desperate Housewives star. With ABC owning half of Us Weekly, how will it look to the bigwigs there to have Hatcher, their biggest star, made an object of ridicule, or a temporary beard for the American Idol host?
Ken Baker involved in under-the-radar spin? Psshaw!

I thought those photos were staged, you could totally tell, this explains a lot! Thanks Jossip, you get to the bottom of things
this is outrageous but not that surprising.
This revelation shouldn't hurt Ryan's image much, considering the entire world thought the photos were staged to begin with.

I would hate to be there when Teri and Ryan run into each other. I bet it will happen at some awards show, maybe even the Emmys this fall. Poor Teri!
That tears it!
Ryan Seacrest must die.
ABC must disembowel US Weekly.
And Teri Hacher must get more therapy–ASAP!
I refuse to watch Housewives, read US Weekly or have fabulous gay sex until this matter is resolved!
Ryan Seacrest will always be gay no matter what pictures you find. That guy is gay
wow. i love it when the pieces of the puzzle fall into place. i hope Teri beats the crap out of Ryan. She should get Randy Jackson to sit on him or something.
Ryan is gay ask me I know
Ryan Seacrest………….another ass humping, butt lickin gaybird like Lance Bass
anncoulter's ass, I find you obnoxious and repulsive
