REBEL VANNA SEEING SAJAK ON THE SLY!

Dishing all the dirt about Wheel & Ryan

CANNY Vanna White is saying nice things about Ryan Seacrest in public — but she’s privately lunching with former Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak, who is coaching her on how to navigate the game show’s tricky change in command while he picks up all the latest onset gossip, sources spin!

As these pics show, Sajak, 77, and the glamorous letter turner, 67, look thick as thieves after a cozy lunch for two Sept. 3 at California Pizza Kitchen in Encino.

“It’s no secret Pat was upset over the way he was ousted — some of which was his fault given his bad jokes and embarrass ing gaffes — but he still has a loyal friend in Vanna,” spills an insider.
