Alycia Lane’s Claims Against CBS Dismissed

A judge has dismissed onetime CBS 3 anchor Alycia Lane's claims against her former employer. Lane sued CBS several months after she was released from her $750,000-a-year contract in 2008, after a series of public scandals, one involving her emailing a bikini shot to a married NFL Network anchor, and another being arrested for allegedly hitting an NYPD officer in the face.

Alycia Lane Thought About Returning to Philadelphia

Alycia Lane—the much-maligned, former CBS 3 anchor that left for Los Angeles after the station let her go amid a slew of controversy—recently considered a return to Philly. Lane's agent reached out to Fox 29 and NBC 10 as the anchor's contract was set to expire at L.A.'s KNBC. Sources tell the Daily News that neither station seriously considered hiring Lane, but Lane's agent says that several stations showed interest in bringing the anchor back to Philadelphia. Ultimately, though, Lane decided to re-sign with KNBC. [Daily News]

Judge Stays Alycia Lane Case Against CBS, Larry Mendte

The "Latina Bombshell" is back! You may remember that former CBS3 anchor Alycia Lane filed a $15 million libel lawsuit against CBS and onetime co-anchor Larry Mendte, currently a Philly Post contributor. That trial is currently scheduled to start in mid-March. Last week, after being unable to appear in court thanks to some medical condition (she gave the judge a doctor's note), Lane showed up to testify at an evidentiary hearing to respond to accusations of spoliation, a fancy legal term that means destroying or suppressing evidence. In this case, the evidence in question is her laptop.

Not quite

Vince Fumo, you’ve no doubt noticed, is back in the news.

Even when he got carted off to the pokey, we knew we’d be living with Fumo moments like this one forever, or at least till somebody gasps their last, him or us.
