As a man with unprecedented access to the facts and a reporter who is one of the most feared journalists in Hollywood, investigative reporter
Dylan Howard has cracked open scandals that have brought down the careers of Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen, Hulk Hogan, and Paula Dean and others.
Howard's sense for news saw him rise to become the undisputed most powerful gossip editor in the world--publishing dozens of salacious tabloid magazines each week, including
Us Weekly,
The National Enquirer,
Star,
In Touch,
Life & Style,
RadarOnline.com, and more.
Described by
TheNew Yorker magazine's Jeffrey Toobin as "a tabloid prodigy" and
AdWeek as "the king of Hollywood scoops," Dylan also brought to light the hate-fueled audiotapes of Oscar-winning actor/director Gibson blasting former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva; the scandal-plagued death of screen darling Farrah Fawcett; the naming of the mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child; the demise of star-on-the-rise politician Anthony Weiner; and the Tiger Woods sex scandal. He also broke the story of the A-list high-stakes poker scam that was later made into the Oscar-nominated film
Molly's Game.
Most recently, Howard made a name for himself with a stunning exposé of Sheen that revealed Hollywood's most unapologetic hedonist was HIV positive. It also was a story of extraordinary corruption, violence, lies, intimidation, death threats, and millions of dollars paid out in hush money--a story that he chronicled in a first-person essay for
The Hollywood Reporter that
AdWeek called "jaw dropping."

In 2011, Howard was named Entertainment Journalist of the Year at the National Entertainment Journalism Awards, where the judges labelled him the "go-to guy for authoritative showbiz news and analysis on cable and over-the air television." Howard lives in New York City.
