Contrary to a curious report in the New York Post this week, Big Head DC has learned that Hillary Clinton’s top traveling aide, Huma Abedin, is not dating bachelor Rep. Anthony Weiner. A source close to Abedin shares that the political glamour gal is “just friends” with Weiner, but is dating someone else. And that person is apparently intimately involved with the Clinton campaign.

Harold Ford, Jr., the former congressman from Tennessee, is gearing up to sponsor an upcoming educational event with his new fiancee, fashionista Emily Threlkeld, Big Head DC has learned. The power couple is helping to plan a glitzy benefit for NYC’s East Harlem School to be held on Nov. 8.

Washington insiders expect Ford to continue to ramp up his social schedule with his new first lady by his side as he preps to soon run for governor of his home state. As we first told you in July, Tennessee’s governor seat will be ripe for the plucking in 2010, and our sources said then that Ford has been very keen on running for the position. He’s also looking to have children soon, we’ve been told.

During Ford’s failed run for Senate in 2006, some opposing members of the GOP attempted to paint him as a philandering bachelor. In the past, he has been linked with infamous NYC D-lister Julia Allison, who had been caught up in a shifty plagiarism scandal during her Washington college days.

Marty Beckerman, some guy who lives in NYC, has made an appearance on FOX News’ Red Eye program. Yes, first he leaves DC, now he’s appearing on Red Eye. How long ’til he stars appearing on Julia Allison!?

OK, OK, so we can’t just lead you on with a little tidbit about a former plagiarizing Georgetown college vixen who changed her name, moved to NYC, got a wildly overpaid job at Star magazine, and once shagged politico Harold Ford, Jr. without sharing a little more salaciousness about the junior Ford’s current and past gal pals. Right?

Big Head DC recently spotted the former Congressman from Tenn. celebrating his freshly-inked talking head deal with FOX News at a Washington hotel with his hotter than hot newish blond girlfriend Emily Threlkeld, a PR know-it-all at the Carolina Herrara fashion house.

When informed of the sighting, a past Ford muse (who he’s apparently worked quite hard to keep on the down low) asked us to look into how the deep-pocketed Threlkeld, who maintains residences in NYC and a posh section of Miami, got to know the hunky power player.

And - oh! - the trails a spurned heart heart will lead you. Read more…

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.
