The New York Daily News reports that a federal investigation into how Farrah Fawcett's medical records were leaked to the National Enquirer, revealing the possibility of an ongoing relationship between hospital staffers and tabloids that has been going on for years.

Transcripts of conversations between insiders at Globe magazine and outside sources have revealed the inner workings of the dirt-digging that takes place when it comes to finding secrets on the health ailments of celebrities.

The recordings made by Globe managing editor Jim Mitteager about such stars as include Liz Taylor, Tom Cruise, Magic Johnson, Roseanne Barr, Paula Abdul, Vanna White and Al Pacino.

Private investigator Paul Barresi had the tapes handed over to him by Mitteager, and in turn, Barresi handed them over to the feds for the investigation. He told the News, "I remember the gleeful reaction from a Globe senior editor to the news that Dinah Shore had been diagnosed with cancer. It made my skin crawl. Nothing has changed inside the tabs."
