Special Report Jess Cagle's Hollywood See what The Early Show's entertainment contributor and People magazine's editor at large has to say about the latest industry doings.
According to the New York Post, McCormick is going to reveal that she had an affair with her TV sister, Jan, played by actress Eve Plumb in "Here's the Story." The book is scheduled to come out in 2008.
The book's publisher, HarperCollins imprint William Morrow, denies that McCormick will reveal an affair with Plumb.
"We have to assume it's not true and see what happens when the book comes out," People magazine assistant managing editor and Early Show contributor Jess Cagle told co-anchor Julie Chen. "The amazing thing -- this is giant news -- it's been 33 years since the show went off the air. Still, we're so titillated by any misbehavior of the Brady kids."
The book promises to reveal McCormick's deepest secrets, including a battle with bulimia, cocaine and depression.
The alleged lesbian affair wouldn't be the first Brady scandal. Barry Williams, who played the oldest Brady kid, Greg, confessed that he dated on-screen mom Florence Henderson in his book "Growing up Brady." Henderson later called their romance "an innocent dinner and ended with a kiss on the cheek." Williams also said that he dated McCormick.
The actor who played Peter, Christopher Knight, starred on the VH1 reality show "The Surreal Life," where he met "America's Next Top Model" winner Adrian Curry. The two dated and later did a reality show about their relationship and marriage.
"We were fascinated by that, that something gives a lie to the squeaky clean image of the show, is titillating, the idea of Marsha and Jan even more," Cagle said. "And this show had an impact, the way you almost can't anymore because we don't always watch the same shows now."
McCormick's book will also discuss the tension between Robert Reed, who played dad Mike Brady and the show's creator, Sherwood Schwartz. Fifteen years ago, when Reed died of AIDS, the world learned that he was gay, which came as a huge shock to many people.
But after all, said Cagle, the actors who played the Bradys were human and living up to the show's image would be impossible for most people.
"I think it would be surprising if none of those teenagers spending time together got together," he said. "These kids have always traded on the squeaky clean image and made fun of it."

LadyJane, when you want to spell a ''banned'' word, just add an extra letter to it so it slips past the spell check like this: "Marsha and Jan had lesbiann sexx? That brings a whole new meaning to ''Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!!!!''"

- Why does everything have to do with *** and money? Yah, yah, I know "*** sells" but it''s kind of sad that people exploit one of the most passionate, personal things people can do for money. And okay, you don''t think *** is personal, and is just ***, liek how the animals do? Fine. At least animals don''t do it for money.

Think you have heard of everything now? Just wait, next we''ll be told that the kid from "the courtship eddy''s father" was secretly being done by the Japanese house keeper. And that life is so bad now, that he had to join a punk rock band, to kill the pain. LOL - Reply to this comment

- Who cares? Ok, I must admit it went straight to the comment section. It is my hope that I never have the desire to read this article and thus to skip over the products that display on this page that support such non-news.

- Hillary Is Corrupt Like Her Husband They Just Cover up Good! With their corrupt corporate friends. This is why they are doing a media Blackou On Ron Paul because He Is For The People!
The censored GQ report must see the light of day. Hopefully, the author will let a copy slip into the hands of some talk radio star or even Huffington, since she despises Hillary. Clearly, it is imperitive that talk radio and alternate media, along with Fox, publicize full details of the Clintons'' sexual crimes, along with details of Hillary''s stolen FBI files, the 100k commodity bribe, campaign finance and other corruptions involving Hillary, since polls show that corruption is at the top of voters'' concerns when voting.
