Casey Anthony In Negotiations With Networks

Show business knows no bounds and will pretty much pay the worst people in the world if it means getting the exclusive and that’s exactly what is happening with Case Anthony at the moment.

Casey’s attorney, Jose Baez, is currently sitting in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City negotiating with three of the biggest networks in the country trying to figure out which one will pay the most for the first exclusive interview with her.

Sources connected to Baez tell TMZ that NBC, ABC and CBS are all trying to outbid each other for the first interview with Casey, who was found not guilty over murdering her own daughter, and it looks like NBC is the frontrunner with ABC second and CBS “a distant third.”

The reason NBC are looking like they will get the exclusive is because they are apparently paying for Baez’ hotel room. All three networks, who are willing to shell out big money, say they don’t pay for interviews but they are willing to pay for photos and other material which they call S.O.P.

Meanwhile Extra report that Casey could soon be headed to stay in her attorney’s home in Mexico and if this money does come through for the interviews she might not see it all since she owes the IRS $70,00 in unpaid taxes.

Whether she did kill her daughter or not, cashing in on the murder is disgusting.

Mark Halperin Calls President Obama a ‘d*ck’ On Live TV (Video)

If you’ve ever wondered what it might take for a high-profile political pundit to get indefinitely suspended, this would be it.

Mark Halperin, who co-authored the book “Game Change,” has been suspended indefinitely by MSNBC — for calling President Obama a “d#ck.”

Speaking of the incident, Halperin said, “I want to offer a heartfelt and profound apology to the president, to my MSNBC colleagues, and to the viewers. My remark was unacceptable, and I deeply regret it.”

I bet you do.

Katie Couric Deflects Questions About Her Future

There has been frequent speculation lately that Katie Couric will be leaving ‘CBS Evening News‘ for another show, perhaps even for her old gig on ‘Today.’

Couric dodged most of Barbara Walters’ pointed questions today on ‘The View’ about her job status, saying there has been no announcement and her plans, whatever they may be, are not public.

“Will you finally confirm that you’re leaving already?” Walters said.

“I don’t think it’s my place to do that,” said Couric. “I haven’t made a decision. I’m in the middle of discussions.” Couric would say only that she is exploring different opportunities and “figuring things out,” while still enjoying her job at CBS.

Walters asked if anyone could have saved the ‘Evening News,’ a question which made Couric bristle a bit, insisting she was proud of the work, valuing quality over ratings.

Walters tried one last shot, telling Couric that she was doing the right thing. “Well, you don’t know what I’m doing but thank you for saying that,” Couric said. Walters still thinks she has a pretty good idea.

Chelsea Handler Picked Up By NBC

Eventually NBC is going to have so many comedy series that expanding their Thursday night line-up to a second night (and thus finding room for Parks & Recreation) will be a breeze.

The network picked up a pilot today based on comedienne Chelsea Handler’s memoir, Are You There Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea.

The show will focus on Handler’s twenties, and unfortunately not on her batty relationship with 50 Cent.
