This is on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. Big news breaking tonight -- porn again? Disturbing new details tonight about Anthony Weiner`s reported porn star connection.

He`s a psycho.</s>HAMMER: SHOWBIZ breaks news. No Frenchy kiss for "American Idol." Why former contestant Frenchy Davis is telling us her new show, "The Voice," is so much better.</s>FRENCHY DAVIS, FORMER "AMERICAN IDOL" CONTESTANT: They`re not just judges. They`re coaching us. And so it`s not like, you know, when Simon sits there with his arms crossed and tells you, you suck.</s>HAMMER: So what does "Voice" host, Carson Daly, say about that? We`ll ask him tonight in a headline-making SHOWBIZ newsmaker interview. A SHOWBIZ TONIGHT exclusive. Confessions from "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," Adrienne Maloof. Her behind-the-scenes revelations. TV`s most provocative entertainment news show breaks news right now.</s>REP. ANTHONY WEINER (D-NY): This was a very dumb thing to do.</s>HAMMER (voice-over): You can say that again, Weiner.</s>WEINER: A very dumb thing to do.</s>HAMMER: If you thought that tweeting a naughty underwear photo of yourself and then lying about it was bad, well, today, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT brings you yet another installment of "Stupid Weiner Tricks." "TMZ" reports today it seems Weiner has got a porn star friend, who he may have been counseling in a great big cover-up on the government dime. It`s a connection that he conveniently forgot to mention at his big apologetic press conference.</s>WEINER: I came here to accept full responsibility for what I`ve done.</s>HAMMER: Yes, not quite.</s>JO PIAZZA, ENTERTAINMENT JOURNALIST: At the intersection of all of these scandals, there`s a porn star lying in wait.</s>HAMMER: Weiner`s reported porn star in wait, the lovely Ginger Lee. Ginger tells "TMZ" that the two exchanged sexually-explicit E-mails and texts for some time.</s>PIAZZA: Anytime you have porn star, a scandal goes from here to here.</s>HAMMER: "TMZ" reports Weiner may have coached his porn friend with some kindly advice.</s>PIAZZA: He offered advice on how she could lie to the press, evade the press, charm the press. He actually told her to throw in a little bit of a Texan drawl to make herself seem more endearing and I suppose probably less skanky.</s>HAMMER: In this online video from "Girls on Machines," Ginger Lee gives an enlightening interview about her now-infamous accent.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Do you surprise a lot of people out here in California with your accent?</s>GINGER LEE, PORN STAR: It confuses a lot of people, especially if we`re at certain</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Like what are yours?</s>LEE: Coke.</s>HAMMER: And worst of all, it seems that Weiner may have offered up members of his Congressional staff to help Ginger Lee out of this political pickle. He even reportedly drafted a statement for her. Come on, Weiner. Seriously?</s>PIAZZA: Frankly, if he`s been using Congressional funds and Congressional staff to try to cover up his kinky behavior, that`s a big problem.</s>HAMMER: "TMZ" says that Weiner wrote to his lady in porning, quote, "The key is to have a short, thought-out statement that tackles the top line questions and then refer people back to it. Have a couple of iterations of, `This is silly.`" "Like so many others, I follow Rep. Weiner on Twitter. I don`t know him and have never met him. He briefly followed me and sent me a DM saying, `Thank you for the follow.` That`s it." It`s a pretty bombastic revelation.</s>PIAZZA: I think we can absolutely say that Weiner is of the same caliber of a lot of the high-profile celebrity men that we`ve seen involved in sex scandals.</s>HAMMER: Men like Charlie Sheen, like Jesse James, like Tiger Woods may have a new member of their elite and porn-based club.</s>TRUMP: Anthony Weiner is a bad guy.</s>HAMMER: Yes, even Donald Trump is all aboard the Weiner bashing bandwagon.</s>TRUMP: He`s a psycho.</s>HAMMER: Donald was so outraged. In fact, he grabbed a video camera and taped his own anti-Weiner rant, which was posted today on YouTube.</s>TRUMP: He`s a liar. He should never, ever be allowed to run for office again.</s>HAMMER: So Anthony`s latest shenanigans may have given us all a peek behind the political curtain.</s>PIAZZA: I think it is absolutely safe to say that we should give the distinguished Congressman the Weiner of the Year Award.</s>HAMMER: Congratulations, sir.</s>LARRY KING, FORMER HOST, "LARRY KING LIVE":  A.J.  -- HAMMER: This book is amazing. We`ll get to this in a second.</s>KING: I`m glad you like it.</s>HAMMER: Let`s talk Weiner. I never thought I`d say that to Larry King, but there I go. We learned today Anthony Weiner may have counseled that porn star pal of his on how to lie about their relationship. Here`s the kicker to me -- there are reports out there he may have offered her access to his own government PR team. Today, "TMZ" reported in an E-mail to her, this is what he wrote. This blows me away, "Do you need to talk to a professional PR person to give you advice? I can have someone from my team call you." Look, we all know it`s a matter of fact sex can make men stupid. But to send an E-mail about how to cover up your sexting affair, send an E- mail, that has got to be one of the dumbest things I`ve heard in a long time. Why do they think that this is OK or that this is not going to get out there, Larry?</s>KING: To me, it`s the most</s>HAMMER: Clearly --</s>KING: And he`s a hard-working Congressman. He`s very vibrant. You know, you see him on the House floor. He`s really into it. I think he probably would have been mayor. I think that`s eliminated now and I don`t think -- I think eventually he will decide to drop out of Congress. They`re starting an ethics investigation. But he could have handled this. Once a story breaks that you know is true -- now, you`re Anthony Weiner. A story breaks. You know it`s true. You know other things are coming, nip it in the bud.</s>HAMMER: Yes.</s>KING: You go on television, go here, go there, call a press conference and you say -- you look at the camera and say, "I have made -- look, I thought I`d never have to discuss this. For three years have I been having this problem and I`m seeking counsel." "And so, yes, I did do it. I did other things. I regret it. I`ve apologized. I hope my marriage works out. I`m doing my best to straighten it out. And I hope you give me some privacy as I try to work my problems out. Thank you." Now what do you ask him after that?</s>HAMMER: Yes. There`s not a whole lot.</s>KING: Not a whole -- take away the whole lot.</s>HAMMER: If you don`t mind, I`m going to hold on to that piece of tape in case you ever find yourself in trouble. I`ll just roll that out for you. You give me a call.</s>KING: Keep it up, A.J. Keep it up.</s>HAMMER: All right. But listen, another one of Weiner`s sexting pals --</s>KING: I shouldn`t have looked at the camera that way. It wasn`t me.</s>HAMMER: I got you now. I got you now, man! Vegas Blackjack dealer, Lisa Weiss has reportedly mailed off an apology letter to Anthony Weiner`s wife. This also really surprised me. Here`s what she wrote, "I want to express my deepest apologies for conversing with your husband, Anthony Weiner. I honestly meant no harm and I can hope that you and Anthony can work through all this. I still remain a huge supporter." Look, I think everybody involved in the scandal, Larry, obviously wants to absolve themselves, purge their guilt. But I don`t think you really want to send a high-profile person like this a letter like that.</s>KING: No. I think they`re all caught in a world here. They`re caught in turmoil. I`m embarrassed for them. For example, if he wasn`t an elected official, I`d absolutely think it`s none of our business. But I`ve always felt that way. The personal lives, the private lives of figures -- I know this would destroy you, A.J. -- are none of our business, unless you`re elected by people. He`s paid by the people --</s>HAMMER: Yes.</s>KING: Therefore he has a right to judgment.</s>HAMMER: But then -- yes. And what you`re saying --</s>KING: But a movie actor is not paid by the people.</s>HAMMER: Once you start lying repeatedly about it, though, that just, you know, adds fuel to the fire. You are telling the truth and I`m happy about that, Larry, in this amazing book. I was telling you before we got started, I can`t put it down. You spoke with another person among the many in your career that got caught up in perhaps one of the most famous sex scandals of all, Monica Lewinsky. Did she shed any light on why these powerful men do these types of things?</s>KING: No, she did not. She was attracted to him. He was attracted to her. I think she was too young to philosophize on this. I don`t think we know. I watch psychologists speak and I`m impressed a little, but they`re all guessing. You have to examine him, find out what drives him. I was talking to somebody today, is this only powerful people who do this? Are only people with power or prestige or influence who do it? Or does a bus driver in Des Moines do it? Does an insurance man in New Haven do it? What do you think?</s>HAMMER: Yes.</s>KING: I don`t know.</s>HAMMER: I think everybody does it, but there is something about that personality type as it repeats itself time after time where people are doing this in these high profile positions and thinking they can get away with it.</s>KING: I can`t tell them what to do, but if I were in that boat, I`d resign.</s>HAMMER: Well, Larry, no one has covered more high-profile court cases than you. You know, you were there for O.J., Laci Peterson, every other historic murder trial in the last quarter century. Got to get Larry King`s take on the Casey Anthony trial, the biggest one going on right now. So please stay right where you are.</s>KING: OK, I`ll stay,</s>A.J.  HAMMER: And as we move on tonight -- SHOWBIZ breaks news. No Frenchy kiss for "American Idol." We`re going to tell you why former "Idol" contestant, Frenchy Davis, is telling us her new show, "The Voice," is so much better.</s>DAVIS: They`re not just judges, but they`re coaching us. And so it`s not like, you know, when Simon sits there with his arms crossed and tells you, you suck.</s>HAMMER: So what does the host of "The Voice," Carson Daly, say about that? We will ask him tonight in the headline-making SHOWBIZ newsmaker interview. Plus, Carson on Eminem dissing Lady Gaga. A SHOWBIZ TONIGHT exclusive, confessions of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, Adrienne Maloof.</s>KAREEN WYNTER, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT CORRESPONDENT: Beverly Hills housewife, Adrienne Maloof, has it all. Maloof welcomed SHOWBIZ TONIGHT to her exclusive estate. And she`s opening up about family, business and housewife drama.</s>HAMMER: And don`t housewives and drama always go together? Adrienne`s behind-the-scenes revelations. This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN news and views. And now the "SHOWBIZ News Ticker" -- more stories from the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT newsroom making news tonight.</s>TEXT: Alec Baldwin considering run for New York City mayor. Bye-bye, Meredith!
