There’s more to the story of Lisa LaFlamme’s ouster than age, gender and hair colour but Brian Lilley argued that it’s a case of too little, too late for Bell to come out of the situation with any sort of positive reviews.
Bell’s handling of LaFlamme’s firing was a textbook example of what not to do from beginning to end and her video was the cherry on top, completely catching Bell off-guard.

Whether or not LaFlamme and her executive producer, Rosa Hwang, made the newsroom a toxic workplace is beside the point now – that narrative will just get lost in the rest of the mire.

The most salacious story of the week comes out of Rogers Centre — but instead of a brawl, this was all about raunchy couple who either thought they could get away with having sex in the 500 level during a Jays game or didn’t care if they got caught.

Italian synchronized swimmer Linda Cerruti pretty much lives in a swimsuit, so one would think that her showing off her collection of medals while wearing a bikini wouldn’t be a big deal.
But, alas, the Internet can be a weird and wonderful place or a horrible, gross place – the latter of which Cerruti has been dealing with, Eddie Chau reported.
