Roger Friedman is gone from Hollywood Reporter

[Annie123]

Roger Friedman's freelance celebrity blog is gone from THR's website now. It happened at the end of last week (while I was travelling) and was mentioned briefly in Anne Thompson's indie blog last night. I hear his deal was with old owners Nielsen Business Media, so it wasn't renewed by the new owners e5 Global Media. "He goes almost a year without reporting much, then gets fired [let go] after he just broke the Rosie O'Donnell-getting-a-new-talk show story," an insider tells me. Friedman was hired last May THR editor Elizabeth Guider "to beef up its coverage of the celebrity world" after he was canned as a freelance blogger by Fox News for posting about Internet piracy.
