| Wolf Blitzer |
CNN staff is whispering that Wolf Blitzer’s air time may be
getting shorter and shorter. The struggling cable channel plans to make lots of
changes as it tries to win back viewers it has lost, with the biggest shakeup
being to on-air talent, including Blitzer, host of “The Situation Room With
Wolf Blitzer.”
“Wolf is going to be gradually phased out and replaced with
a younger, hipper host,” one CNN insider dishes to the NY Daily News’ Confidential.
“The decision has been made that people want to look at beautiful people, and
although Wolf is no beast, they’re thinking younger.”

| Chris Cuomo |
Since the arrival of new boss Jeff Zucker in March, the DailyNews says ‘studly’ Chris Cuomo and ‘handsome’ Jake Tapper have joined CNN.
Staffers expect more handsome fellas to follow.
“Oh course they want journalists with great credentials, but
they also want reporters with a face, and body, for TV — not radio,” adds our
CNN source. “Anderson Cooper is the networks’ poster child for a reason: He is
super-cute and charming.”
“Everyone is a little worried,” says our insider. “You know
the on-air talent is scared when you see Piers Morgan eating a salad at lunch.
If he is spotted at the gym, then you know the most trusted name in news will
also be the prettiest.”
