According to knowledgable sources, among the alternatives CBS boss Les Moonves is considering is moving MTV entertainment chief Brian Graden to head CBS News.

Maybe Bob Schieffer and Andy Rooney can roll newsman John Roberts off a flight of stairs in a shopping cart. Dust him off and tatoo "LOSER" on his forehead. I'd pay to see that.

Currently, Graden oversees programming on a slew of CBS' sister networks, including MTV, VH1, CMT and Logo, the first basic cable gay and lesbian network.

Don Vito's contract only allows him to report on tailgate parties.
