Excerpted from the Manhattan Spectrum:

Despite O’Reilly’s several requests for Beck to join him for lunch in the Fox News cafeteria, a NewsCorp insider says Beck has yet to acquiesce to the senior broadcaster’s invitation.

“He’s been really elusive.  He’s never in the cafeteria at the same time as O’Reilly and if he does stumble in while Bill is there he always turns and leaves explaining that he left his wallet or that he thinks he left the stove on back at his mid-town apartment.”

“There’s even a rumor that Beck has a paid-intern who’s sole job is to track where O’Reilly is so that Beck doesn’t accidentally bump into him.”

When asked why Beck would be avoiding O’Reilly, the insider shrugged.

“Beats me.  It’s all very strange.”
