The rumor that Susan Lyne, who just stepped down as chief of Martha Stewart Living, was having lunch with Time Inc.'s Ann Moore is false. Actually, Moore only emailed Lyne with a lunch date request; it has yet to take place. It was that supposed sighting that only fueled rumors of the media's self-fulfilling prophecy wish: That Lyne would make good on the long-standing rumors she was to take over the top spot at Time Warner's publishing house. But now she may go a different route, according to the latest scenario: Taking the top spot at OWN, Oprah's new television network. No matter that MTV chief Judy McGrath, who is said to be leaving her post, has been fingered as a front-runner for the Oprah gig. (Lyne, of course, is the one-time head of ABC Entertainment, where she was ousted by Bob Iger just before Desperate Housewives, a show she helped groom, became a hit.) So we can either 1) hope for a cat fight between Lyne and McGrath as they battle it out for the lucrative new gig; or 2) just be pleased these middle-aged ladies as still treated as hot commodities in the industry.
