J .Gosselin's newest fling is a hard-partying charmer who will do anything it takes to get a story -- but she completely denies she did a recent stint in rehab.
Star magazine reporter Kate Major -- who was out to dinner with the recently separated star of TLC's "Jon & Kate Plus 8" at Third Avenue eatery Accademia di Vino Saturday night -- went into rehab in May, a friend of hers claimed to Page Six.
According to the friend, top Gosselin was Major's first assignment when she returned to the celebrity weekly after the alleged rehab hiatus. But Major denied that she was in rehab and called the story "absolutely false."
Major, who hails from LA, was on staff at In Touch before getting hired as a senior reporter at Star.
"She's a crackerjack reporter, very talented, very good-looking," said one of her bosses. "Sure, she uses her charms to get stories. Don't we all?" Major has previously been able to get close to people like Britney Spears' ex J.R. Rotem and Lindsay Lohan
