As you’ll recall, NBC anchor Chris Hansen was caught cheating on his wife last month in a story that delighted headline writers — but not the other woman he was sleeping with. Kathleen Collins, a stripper and “aspiring country singer,” was simply shocked to discover he’s the kind of dude who would cheat. Says a friend, “I know this sounds crazy, but Kathleen really thought she was the only one.” Though Collins knew Hansen was married, the source tells the National Enquirer she thought he was in the process of leaving his wife. “Kathleen feels like she’s been used and betrayed – Chris definitely broke her heart,” adds the friend.

- You’re going to want to sit down for this story about a Trivial Pursuit game between Paul Rudd and Jon Hamm when they were seniors in high school. Rudd says Hamm, a friend of the family, was “super handsome, really smart, and very good at sports – all of these things that I most certainly was not.” Rudd was trying to impress a girl and, “Every question that came up, I had no idea what the fucking answer was. Jon, my arch nemesis, rolled the dice, and the question was, ‘What’s the biggest lake in Africa?’ and he just goes ‘Victoria.’ And I remember feeling so totally emasculated that the next year when I went away to acting school I thought back to that Trivial Pursuit moment and I just felt, Holy shit, now that I’m in acting school I’m never going to learn what the biggest lake in Africa is.” [N.Y.
