"It took us six years to get rid of her. How come it only took them [CBS] five months?" That's what Charlie Gibson's said to be wondering aloud, to Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts, following rumors that The Early Show exec producer Shelley Ross is a goner. Not only has Shelley not shown up for work this week, but boxes are being moved out of her office. On Monday, which was potentially Ross' last day, a meeting was held for staffers to vent their frustrations with Ross. She attended the meeting. It was awkward.

Since arriving in September, Ross has maintained The Early Show's third-place ranking (that's not a compliment), seen 21 staffers leave, seen Les Moonves wife and Early Show co-anchor threaten to quit, and suffered through rampant rumors of tequila shots and joyfully humiliating staffers.

After all this, it looks like somebody might need the happiness gene — which, as the The Early Show reported today, explains why some people are genetically wired to be happy. That the B-roll included footage of girls getting wasted at a bar is completely unrelated.
