We’ve been dipping our aching feet into the weatherman scene lately. And today, while the sun may be shining bright outside, things are getting gloomy within the confines of, well, this post.
Last we relayed, WABC 7 weatherman Sam Champion could allegedly be seen hand-in-hand (at church, no less) with Sean Bell, who may or may not be an online escort available on Manhunt.net. (Sam and Sean’s attorney, meanwhile, argues to us that Bell is not for sale on Manhunt.) We’ll get to the latest details on that sordid relationship in a moment, but first let’s use Sam Champion as a jumping off point to get to some media news you might actually be interested in.
With Al Roker standing firm at NBC’s Today, we’ve only got the weather crew at ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS’s The Early Show to toy with. So, why don’t we?
We’re hearing that The Early Show’s professional map pointer (since July ‘03) Dave Price, who holds down the local and national gig, is making an exit from Les Moonves‘ house and heading over to GMA. Les, try as he might to hang on to Price, is said to be fighting a losing battle; Price has nearly signed with GMA.
So where does the blonde-locked Sam Champion fall into this? We’re told he was his own biggest lobbiest for the Good Morning America job, even taking to Larry King’s airwaves to make his cause. But Mr. Champion’s, ahem, “‘lifestyle’ is too apparent on television and won’t carry well on national TV to homes across America,” says our tattler.
Meanwhile, over in the blissful gayborhood that Sam and Sean Bell live in, we hear from another well-placed source that New York’s most loved weather fella is getting Kevin Federlined. Those details, after the jump.
All of this is very alleged, of course.
Either someone is feeding you misleading information or you????????re connecting the dots incorrectly. The correct parallel to be made is between Sean and Al Reynolds (who I had the dubious pleasure of meeting in his designing days. Like Ms. Jones, Mr. Champion is in the process of being duped by a master.
As someone who knows both parties quite well, as well as a key player to be mentioned below, (they each consider me a confident, believing they introduced me to the other), let me shed a little light on this for you.
Sam believes that Sean is a successful hospital supply salesman and has come by his luxury apt., Jaguar and BMW, Gucci luggage and wardrobe via that success and that of a recently sold home. Sean has been employed in that position for less than a month and was previously unemployed for just about three years. During that period, Sean was able to forge a relationship with a prominent surgeon who lavished him with gifts and made payments for him. Like Sam, the surgeon had no idea of Sean????????s internet escapades. Upon discovery and after what seemed like a lot of unsavory drama, Sean????????s meal ticket was done. Sean hid it well built Sean panicked???????really panicked.
Within a month of that ending Sean shows up to said African American Church with Mr. Champion where the physician enjoys a significant role and had Mr. Champion introduced before the entire church. I would give stocks and bonds to see this again.
Though there are plans to buy ???????together??????? and an architect has been called, he doesn????????t lavish Sean with a fraction of what his meal ticket. Sam has no idea Sean makes next to nothing on his commission nor does he believe Sean actually hustled on the internet. He does not believe that when he shows up to said church ???????? he is the axe Sean is grinding.
On the plus side, we’re told the pictures we published earlier (and seen above) “were given to you by someone who doesn’t know Sean well. He’s dropped 20 and had work done on his nose. He looks incredible.” If you ask us, he should raise his rate.
