RICH HATCH'S BOOK DEAL

St. Martin's Press will pay Survivor winner Rich Hatch $500,000 to write a book about his time on Pulau Tiga, Inside.com reports. The tome — described as part memoir/part how-to-succeed-in-life — reportedly will feature a commentary on each Survivor episode, as well as personal musings about his childhood and his experience coming out. Meanwhile, some 10,000 people turned out last night at Virginia Beach's Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base to welcome home Survivor's second runner-up, Rudy Boesch.
