STRUTTING WILMER IS COCK OF NCIS WALK!

Bragging about popularity and saving the show

WICKED Wilmer Valderrama’s pumped-up ego is bigger than ever since he’s emerged as NCIS’ leading hunk following Mark Harmon’s departure — and the boastful screen stud can’t stop rubbing his status in the face of rival co-star Sean Murray, sources squeal.

“They may be playing buddy-buddy in the show promos, but they have to do that. It’s in their contracts,” dishes an insider.

“Behind the scenes, they’re still as competitive as they ever were — maybe more so now that Wilmer’s got it in his head that fans love him more!”
