Lunch: Dick Wolf & The Usual Suspects

homepage_graphic04.jpgWe were hoping for a star-studded dining room since it's Upfront week when the networks trot out their overpaid and underfed stars to shill for their supper, but we had to settle for a smattering of television titans who toil behind the scenes.

tv0a.jpgOprah Cancels Her Own 'Big Give' Show (NYP)
Oprah Winfrey asked ABC officials not to renew Oprah's Big Give, her philanthropic reality show that had been a modest hit on Sunday nights. "We loved that show and absolutely would have loved to bring it back," ABC entertainment president Steve McPherson said yesterday. "But it was something [Oprah] didn't want to do."

NBC's 24-Hour NYC News Channel: Will Chuck Scarborough End Up a YouTube VJ? (NYO)
Underlying NBC's announcement is the theory that for too long, broadcast journalists have been a wasteful bunch. In the brave new world, every last scrap from the cutting-room floor promises to be picked up, mopped off, and served up on multiple, varied platforms, from the Internet to podcasts to the video screens in the back of taxicabs.

Kornheiser Takes Post Buyout (WaPo/D.C. Sports Bog)
"All I ever wanted to be was a newspaper writer," Tony Kornheiser said, which is likely not something that anyone under the age of 30 will ever say again. "This other stuff is great, but I don't care about it," he continued. "In my mind that's what it says on the headstone, it says 'newspaper guy.'" But he also said he signed the papers to take the Post's buyout last night, after, I believe, 29 years at the paper.

051408_13.jpgBonnie Fuller Out at AMI, Will Announce New Media Venture Soon (FishbowlNY)
Bonnie Fuller, no longer queen bee at American Media Inc., has something up her sleeve. "My next venture will be in media," she said. "I really can't give you any details ... but there's something specific I want to do." She'll announce the new endeavor "shortly." She called the decision to leave "100 percent" hers, adding that she was "thinking about the next stage in life and the new, exciting adventure I'll pursue." NYP: Fuller's contract was set to expire March 31, 2009, but relations between Fuller and American Media CEO David Pecker have been frosty for a while. Portfolio: Fuller says she doesn't think the mania for celebrity news that AMI hired her to exploit — and whose blossoming can arguably be traced to her successful reimagination of Us Weekly — is anywhere near burning out. WWD: Speculation in the industry is that Fuller has been looking for a new gig for some time, leaving her office frequently to take meetings and even trying to lobby television honchos for a job. Fuller, however, said she was "very busy" at AMI in recent months, overseeing the covers each week at Star and redesigning Fit Pregnancy and Country Weekly.

Carl Icahn Considering Attempt to Oust Yahoo Board (AP)
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn is reportedly loading up on Yahoo Inc.'s stock in preparation for a possible attempt to shove aside the Internet icon's board and bring the company's disillusioned suitor, Microsoft Corp., back to the bargaining table. As he mulls whether to lead a rebellion, Icahn has accumulated about 50 million Yahoo shares, a stake of roughly 3.6 percent in the company.

American Idol Viewers Disappearing (AP)
Contestants are disappearing as the American Idol finale approaches. Unfortunately for Fox, so are the viewers. The 21.8 million people who watched last Tuesday's competition was the show's smallest Tuesday audience in more than five years. The show did better the next night, with 22.9 million, but that was the smallest Wednesday audience in three years, according to Nielsen Media Research.
