Philly mag offers "The Very Public Self-Destruction of Alycia Lane"

NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen is quoted for the first time in Vicki Glembocki's Philadelphia magazine profile, "The Very Public Self-Destruction of Alycia Lane," about the May report in the New York Post's Page Six that Lane had upset Eisen's wife by sending photos of herself in a bikini. "I've known Alycia for many years as a broadcasting colleague and as a friend," he said through a publicist. "I wish her nothing but the best." Too little, too late, says Lane attorney Paul Rosen in the piece that the "whole issue could have been avoided if Mr. Eisen had called the Post to set the record straight." The lengthy and well-researched story (summarized here) covers the rise and fall of the recently fired CBS3 from her Sept. 2003 arrival to her Jan. 7 firing following a story, first reported here,  of her arrest in New York on charges that she struck a female police officer. Her lawyer David Smith has denied the charge and Lane, who has recently put her Washington Square condo up for sale, has an April 3 hearing date in a New York courtroom

Meanwhile, Lane's boyfriend Chris Booker, of Q102, called into Howard Stern's Sirius Satellite Radio show today to refute a claim about ratings made by Wired 96.5's Justice on Stern's show this morning. Stern, a good friend of Booker's, asked his pal to send him some pictures of Lane, whom he has yet to meet. Stern asked how Booker was doing regarding the Lane situation, and Booker replied "awful," adding that he didn't want to say any more about it.
