Mid-Morning Briefing -- May 15, 2007

Cha-Cha-Changes...


  • GloZell GreenDaily News Burbank story of the day from your humble narrator-- GloZell Green has seen Leno as part of the live audience for 177 times -- and counting, and she blogs about it here.

  • And today we bid farewell to Jason Kandel, my partner in crime in the blogosphere, who is now working breaking news-online over at our mothership, dailynews.com.

Good luck, dude!
