The smelly truth about Larry King

So here I am kicking back, about to go to bed, when I see this Gawker item. For those of you too lazy to click -- and I really suggest that you click -- here's the gist of it:

Larry King is allegedly a huge farter. And if you watched the Star Jones interview the other night, you may have heard him let one loose! Yeah, according to the article, he honked on-air near the end of Star's interview.

Also, a source claims to have had a King odor-rocket launched at her at a 1996 charity BBQ in Idaho. Her quote is hilarious: "He leaned left and beefed right... directly on me. I was in high school, didn't know what to do..."

There's another story there about Larry King's handler having to stop filming every 10 to 15 minutes so Larry could detonate steam bombs. There's even more there about a fan hidden under Larry's desk that directs his fart-stank away from guests.

Yeah, I know this is not earth-shattering news. But farts are funny, so there you go.
