CBS 3 upset over talent attending Alycia's A.C. bash for Booker

Rumor has it that CBS 3 management was none too pleased with some on-air talent attending a Saturday-night party at the Borgata in Atlantic City that Alycia Lane organized as a surprise for her boyfriend, Q102's Chris Booker, to celebrate his 37th birthday. Management, of course, is embroiled in a lawsuit with Lane, who has sued the station for alleged wrongful termination, and is seeking unspecified damages. Among staffers at the party were traffic anchor Bob Kelly, reporter Todd Quinones and meteorologist Doug Kammerer. We're told that station management talked only with Kammerer, mostly for appearing in pictures on Q102's website in which he was holding drinks. While several pictures of Kammerer remain on the site, at least one was removed this morning. Kammerer did not return calls for comment yesterday and a station spokeswoman declined comment. CBS 3 fired Lane in January, several weeks after she was arrested in New York for allegedly assaulting an NYPD officer. Her assault charge was reduced and her case is in a prolonged period of dismissal called an ACD.

=Not CBS3's business. There is nothing wrong with staying friends. It's not like she shot a cop, she just slapped one. Big difference.

They're all hacks. Who cares? Why does anyone care what Alycia does anyway? She's boring old news and isn't worth the candle.

Would Alycia Lane please, please just go away. On a day when we are going to remember a police officer who gave his life to this city, we don't need to hear about this Diva who has no respect for police.

I'd like to take Bob Kelly, reporter Todd Quinones and meteorologist Doug Kammerer out to lunch to talk about their actions. Dan, let's make it happen. You know where to find me...why, the cafeteria of course!

Control! Why can't on-air talent support a friend? Does working for CBS 3 mean that they control every aspect of your life. They are in a suit with Lane not these folks that supported a friend at a party. This is silly!

They got rid of Weather Vane Tom Lamiane for Doug Kraperer... they deserve a little bag stabbing from the help.

Oh My God, I am so sick of this crazy chick. She claims she just wants a private life. Liar! Everything she does she does in a very public way. Alycia, move somewhere, anywhere, we don't want you in Philly.

This is the biggest bunch of bull**** that channel 3 could come up with. She's giving a party for her boyfriend and the people she invited are her friends. Are her friends suppose to forsake her because channel 3 has issues with her?

this is silly. I don't believe this would violate any moral clauses in their contracts. And it's not like Alycia was trying to be in the news just because she threw a party for her boyfriend. CBS 3 is wrong for even getting involved in this affair.

They are only in shots with Booker, not Alycia. What's the big deal.

Working in The Enetertainment Industry is a double edged sword and You really have to pick your spots because management types in this industry are vindictive and ruthless and any deviation from their plan or do something they deem wrong and it's F-U to you, bye bye paycheck. CASE IN POINT. Know a Guy who was working as a stand-in for the film "Happy Tears" that is filming here, guy quits his day job in order to make himself available for entire shoot, ONLY... To be sacked 7 days into the shoot with NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY!!!!! I know this man well and he is a total professional, No Autographs or Photos with the stars for this guy, He does not get starstruck or have time to hob-nob, Do The Work and Roll.... Take The Money And Run........ Good Luck and Perserverance The Arseole:)
