“Unfortunately, I was laid off by CNN yesterday, but looking back, I’m thrilled that I got to spend a decade covering something I love: the inner workings of Hollywood. I’m looking forward to doing that more in the future. But, in the meantime, I’m going to take some time to decompress and decide what’s next.”
