Ayla Brown Interviews Father, Scott Brown, In CBS Investigative Report

Washington Couple Collects 400,000 Cans to Pay For Their Wedding

Michael Moore in Self-Promotional War with CBS
So, Michael Moore has been making the media rounds to promote his latest project, Capitalism: A Love Story. The film, we're sure, will be enlightening, but, as happens with all things Moore, may be overshadowed by the man himself.

The Early Show Pretends to Get Drunk for St. Paddy's, Hoda Kotb Does the Real Thing

That's What You Get For Ordering The Boss' Wife To Kansas
Rick Kaplan's exit from The Early Show-less than three months after the veteran TV producer was brought in to turn around the troubled CBS morning programme-has never been adequately explained.

CBS Early Show Staffers: Watch Your Backs
How is it humanly possible for the CBS Early Show to be so dysfunctional? And so early in the morning, at that? The show has been a nest of infighting for months, since the times of deposed mean boss Shelley Ross. Now, we hear that more scheming and devious machinations are underway. A tipster says that Zev Shalev,…
Man Charged With Saving CBS Leaves Second Failing Show?
CBS continues to be a total disaster. Last year they brought in former MSNBC president Rick Kaplan to save Katie Couric's Evening News (without asking Katie's opinion). We all know how that went!

CBS 'Early Show' Keeps Firing Everyone Who Doesn't Quit
Working on CBS's Early Show seems a bit like serving time in a Soviet Gulag. No point in befriending anyone, as the ones who don't wish you specific ills may disappear one night without notice.

All Is Not Well at CBS's Early Show
Are staffers at CBS's Early Show so much happier since holy-terror producer Shelley Ross left a few weeks ago? Maybe not! A mole tells us that Ross, while she had her issues, wasn't the only problem.

The Network TV Producer (Allegedly!) Who Swills Tequila Before Noon
Today's Page Six asks "WHICH slave-driving producer of a morning TV show was ordered by the network's legal department to cease and desist offering staffers tequila shots on Friday afternoons?"

'Early Show' Revamp Seeks Ascent to Mediocrity
With anchor Rene Syler sashaying off The Early Show, it appears CBS may not bother to replace her, instead focusing on the remaining four nonpersonae on the program. That means more face time for Harry Smith, Hannah Storm, and Dave Price, not to mention Les Moonves spouse Julie Chen. Unless, of course, the CBS…
