Tattle: Jim Finn takes a hit in ex-wife Rosa Blasi's book

Football players don't usually make it into the pages of Tattle. But, you're in luck, sports fans, because scandal, hookers and prescription drugs are totally our bag. Erstwhile NFLer and Penn alum Jim Finn: Get ready for your Tattle time.

Actress Rosa Blasi, who plays the formerly philandering momma of a gymnastics phenom in ABC Family's guilty pleasure "Make It Or Break It," blasts her ex-hubs Finn in her new tell-all, "Jock Itch: The Misadventures of a Retired Jersey Chaser."

Let's hope jock itch was all Blasi caught from her days chasing team tail.

Blasi said that during their four-year marriage, Finn (who she calls "Jim Fish," perhaps to stay out of court) was into gambling and heavily reliant on prescription painkillers. But it wasn't until after their marriage went kaput that she learned he had a penchant for Craigslist prostitutes and had slept with her best friend on their wedding day.

Here are our problems with this tawdry tale. First, Finn, a former fullback with the Indianapolis Colts and the New York Giants, can't afford anything classier than a Craigslist ho? Dude, go for the girl without the email evidence. Second, when does one find time to cheat on his wedding day? Those ceremonies tend to keep the bride and groom pretty busy.

Despite fudging Finn's identity, the book does include photos of him with his eyes blacked out. There's little doubt that Finn isn't pleased.

"This guy will sue a parakeet for squawking," Blasi told RadarOnline.com. "But I have proof of all the things I claim, and he isn't saying that any of this stuff isn't true."

Other juicy non-Finn details include Blasi's dalliance with a hockey player whose member she mistook for a rolling pin and her not-so-positive take on Alex Rodriguez.

THE LONG GOODBYE: NBC is granting "The Office" 20 extra minutes during its April 28 episode to say goodbye to departing Steve Carell, who will make his final appearance as World's Worst/Best Boss Michael Scott. The show will air from 9 to 9:50 p.m., followed by a 40-minute episode of "Parks and Recreation," which Lady Tattle believes is the superior of the two comedies.

But that's not all for "The Office" this season. Will Ferrell has signed on for a four-episode arc as substitute manager Deangelo Vickers that ends on the May 19 season finale.

Joining Ferrell on the final show of the season is a list of actors who will potentially take Carell's swivel chair next season: Will Arnett of "Arrested Development," British "The Office" originator Ricky Gervais, Ray Romano, James Spader and Brit comedienne Catherine Tate. Considering that Arnett has signed on for a pilot with Christina Applegate next season, Romano is tied to "Men of a Certain Age" and Gervais has already played the template for Michael Scott (David Brent on the original series), Spader and Tate seem to be the only legit candidates.

With little evidence, we'd choose Tate because she shares similarities with Lady Tattle's dream "Office" boss: Catherine O'Hara ("Best in Show," "Home Alone"). It's time to get a lady in the top spot.

A QUAID IS A QUAID: Randy Quaid, on the lam in Canada, is in talks to be the opening act for Charlie Sheen when Chaz hits the Great White North. Instead of the Torpedo of Truth tour, promoters need to consider renaming it the Bats--t Insane tour.

"I think it'd be a hoot," Quaid told the Globe and Mail. Quaid and Sheen have appeared in three movies together: "The Wraith" (1986), "No Man's Land," (1987) and "Major League II" (1994).

Quaid, best known for playing the crazy hick in movies like "Independence Day" and as Cousin Eddie in the "Vacation" franchise, and his wife, Evi, have been living in Vancouver since October after fleeing the U.S. They claimed refugee status, saying they were the target of "Hollywood star whackers." But let's not forget about the fraud and burgulary warrants now out on the couple.

For the Sheen gig, Quaid would perform two songs he recently debuted at the Commodore Ballroom, in Vancouver: "Will We Be Together Then" (described by the Globe and Mail as a "Johnny Cash-esque ballad") and the shouty "Star Whackers."

IN OTHER QUAID NEWS:

-- Dennis Quaid, brother of Randy, wrote an essay for this week's Newsweek called "My Favorite Mistake," in which he details his cocaine addiction.

"Cocaine was even in the budgets of movies, thinly disguised. It was petty cash, you know?" Quaid wrote. "It was supplied, basically, on movie sets because everyone was doing it Instead of having a cocktail, you'd have a line."

Denny says that his addiction taught him humility and chiseled him into the man he is today (considering his current physique, at 57, we can't say we're too upset about all this).

Quaid ostensibly wrote the piece as a marketing tool for his new movie, "Soul Surfer," released in theaters on Friday. But might it be a case of sibling rivalry?

Dennis, you're better-looking and have a real career. Let this one go.

SHE'S NOW THE NEWS: Jenn Sterger, the former New York Jets sideline reporter and the recipient of Brett Favre's naughty pics, told George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America" yesterday that she is a victim and has not been able to go back to work.

"You know, I was trying to go to work. Do my job. But how are you supposed to report on the news when you are the news?" Sterger asked Stephanopoulos. "It was tough. It was embarrassing. It was humiliating."
