Larry King to Weinstein, Hiller at LA Times Resigns

TV Newser just reported

Harvey Weinstein announced today that the publishing arm of The Weinstein Company has acquired the rights to publish Larry King's "definitive autobiography," What Am I Doing Here?

In a press release, King said, "I am delighted to be working with Bob and Harvey, who have distinguished themselves by making award-winning films and publishing quality books. Their books are some of the most talked-about and well-produced titles in the business, and I am thrilled to be one of their authors. My life story could not be in better hands," King said.

The book will be out in time for Father's Day 2009.

Meanwhile, Fishbowl LA is breaking news about David Hiller at the LA Times just after they began notifying 150 employees that they would be let go today.

Randy Michaels sends this e-mail to LAT staffers (well, the ones who are left, anyway):

I want to let you know that David Hiller has decided to step down as publisher of The Los Angeles Times, effective immediately. David took over as publisher in October 2006, during a difficult period for the newspaper and has performed with distinction since that time. During the last six months, he has helped The Times begin making the transition to new ownership, facing new realities. Part of that transition must now include a new publisher.
