In-the-know Washingtonians may recall a sassy young lass named Julia Baugher, a former Georgetown University sex and dating columnist who disgraced the school’s student newspaper The Hoya because she plagiarized portions of a column from iVillage. But give the go-getter gal a few years in New York and, suddenly, she has a spiffy new name, “Julia Allison” and will now be earning upwards of 100K per year as the editor-at-large of the well-known Star tabloid/magazine.
“Maybe I’m just old-fashioned, but I remember back when being outed as a plagiarist carried the stigma of getting charged with rape,” a DC journalist familiar with Allison’s past misdeeds told Big Head DC. “It would ruin you. Now you have Baugher a budding celebrity…”
So, did Baugher change her name to avoid being known as a plagarist?
Perhaps fortuitously, there will be little journalistic prowess involved with Allison’s new job: “She won’t be editing or writing, but she will be appearing as a talking expert whenever TV comes calling for someone to go on air to comment on the latest celebrity gossip or scandal,” according to the NY Post.
Allison has said in the past that she much prefers doing TV to writing because it takes less effort.
Unless you just copy and paste, that is!
Bonus fun fact just because it’s Thursday: Back when Allison was still Baugher she had a scandalous relationship with politico Harold Ford, Jr., (and current FOX News talking head), which was first reported in WaPo’s Reliable Source column by the paper’s ex-gossip Lloyd Grove. Later, Allison had a not-so-discreet affair with - you guessed it! - Lloyd Grove.
Nice use of the photo! I had remembered seeing this pic somewhere and I’m glad you dug it up and used it.
I’m glad Baugher is making money now, because back in 2004, she was protesting a $7 grapefruit bill in DC, and to get out of the bill, she lied and said she worked for the Washington Post:

Between Baugher and Baltimore Examiner plagarist-columnist Michael Olesker, it seems that plagarists are the new Woodward and Bernstein in the media elite these days.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. Julia is a douche. Julia is a douche…. Julia is —
Oh wait.
Julia is rich.
Well I don’t know where her career can go after Star. The Enquirer? Weekly World News?
The Star is not the issue. The 100 K is. If I changed my name and could make 100K by fucking Harold Ford, Jr., I would. And I’m transgendered.
