...Gifford, too, has a reputation as a gentleman. He is so devoted to third wife Kathie Lee and their two children (Cody, 7, and Cassidy, 3) that he regularly charters a plane after Monday-night games so that he can be in their Greenwich, Conn., home when they wake up Tuesday mornings. According to a story in Johnson's own words in this week's Globe, it was on a commercial flight in October 1993 that she and Gifford began a flirtatious relationship that continued over the phone.

In the latest issue, Johnson begs Kathie Lee to forgive Frank...
While Globe editor Tony Frost maintains his sheet did nothing wrong--"We will never turn our backs on the truth or our readers"--people at the rival Enquirer are shocked, shocked. "Without the Globe basically pimping this woman," says Steve Coz, editor of the Enquirer, "Frank Gifford would not have been in that hotel room.
