ANCHOR'S AWAY! Cambell
• Interchangeable talking heads: NBC correspondent Campbell Brown, once thought to be in line to replace Katie Couric as Today show anchor (but thought by others to be too sexy for such cheese), is leaving for CNN. Freshly divorced Paula Zahn, meanwhile, is getting booted from her 8 p.m. time slot, possibly to make room for puffed-up populist shticksmith Lou Dobbs, TVNewser reports.
• Ill: Michael Moore's health-care film, Sicko, is leaked online for free download. It's cool, though. He wasn't in this for cash. The Weinstein Company, on the other hand ...
• Wicked burn: The New York Times runs down even more firefighters who agree that Giuliani is stealing 9/11. Says a 21-year vet, "He's a self-promoter. I told my wife, 'Anything that ever happens, I don't want him at my funeral.'"
• Slain: Former Buffy star Kristy Swanson is arrested after punching the blood sucking ex-wife of her boyfriend and former Skating with the Celebrities partner Lloyd Eisler.
• Paul's online boutique: A day after we added Ron Paul to our MySpace Friend Race '08, the Washington Post lauds his 'Net hotness. Sadly, no mention of Lisa Turtle.
