JOSSIP REPORTS

Laurye Blackford, one of Shelley Ross' hires and one of the notorious "mean girls" at The Early Show, told bosses yesterday that she's quitting. She submitted her two weeks notice, Jossip hears, in protest of Zev Shalev being named executive producer of the A.M. show, following Rick Kaplan's exit, which we were the first to tell you about this week. (Interesting, because David Shenfeld, the senior producer who stopped showing up for work last week, is said to have left the show because he lost all power to Blackford.)

Blackford was only supposed to be with the show through January, but stayed on because she thought she might be named to Ross' top spot, says a source.

Oh, and in case you missed it in there: Shalev is officially replacing Kaplan.

Jossip, do some reporting.

Zev was always hired to be the EP. He was brought in to replace Shelley after he got the lay of the land.

Also, some basic fact checking would reveal Laurye didn't quit! It is called a contract window, and it was executed.
