Diaz primarily will be covering entertainment, lifestyle, fashion and sports. She also will do red carpet coverage of events for HLN.
So what --Rocsi's going to run that whole division all by herself?
I say that because -- not more than 4 months ago, the entire entertainment unit of both CNN & HLN was
dissolved, and massive layoffs took place.

CNN’s entertainment unit — which covers red carpet events and awards shows on both coasts — is being completely disbanded, insiders confirmed. A senior entertainment producer and two entertainment producers in Los Angeles were let go. Three other L.A. entertainment staffers were transferred to the news division. The producer who runs CNN Entertainment in New York City is also out. Additionally, Northeast bureau chief Darius Walker was cut Tuesday. Walker had been with CNN for 18 years, and an insider described his exit as a “gut-wrenching” loss.

They basically just decided to abandon almost all entertainment coverage, in-house anyway.
And now they're already doing an about-face on it?
Do Zucker and his minions have even a remote clue how to run that place? It's like watching a
marching band on the field just constantly crashing into each other from different directions
Good luck, Rocsi - sounds like you'll need it!
