Whether he's exposing the secret lives of Palm Beach socialites or digging up a saucy item on celebrities such as Ann Coulter, Donald Trump or Tommy Lee Jones, columnist Lambiet has a well-earned reputation for shaking things up and pissing people off. His feisty and persistent attitude mixed with a dash of charm has earned him high-profile gossip columns in the Sun-Sentinel, then Star magazine and, currently, The Palm Beach Post. It has also earned him his fair share of enemies. In 2004, Today Show co-host Matt Lauer famously uninvited him from a Hospice of Palm Beach County benefit at The Breakers after a friend warned him of Lambiet's tabloid past. While Lambiet has attained the kind of notoriety most gossipmongers only fantasize about, our sources say anyone harboring even the slightest secret should steer clear of the bald Belgian blabber at swanky soirees.
