And it looks like the White House Correspondents Association still got beef.

The WHCA told her that

We're so happy to see her pursuing this again!

Maria Shriver, who filed for divorce from husband Arnold Schwarzenegger this summer, is apparently not letting his infidelity and lies keep her down, and has once again returned to the field of journalism - by interviewing philanthropist Wallis Annenberg for the upcoming issue of Los Angeles magazine, which is devoted to the "LA Woman!"

Ch-ch-check out her stunning cover photo (above)!

Seriously - good for her!

We're thrilled that you're back in the field, gurl!

With CNN star Anderson Cooper covering stories everywhere, from Egypt to Alabama, some are concerned with how well he will be able to handle both journalism and his new gig as a talk show host.

According to Anderson, he can do it all.

And we believe him!

The silver fox acknowledges his busy schedule, but is also thinking like a producer, saying:

Right after the news of Eliot Spitzer's show being axed, we hear of another CNN personality leaving house.

But this time, it's on their own accord.

Kiran Chetry, the American Morning anchor, has told friends and co-workers she's exiting the building by the end of the month.

Ali Velshi and Christine Romans will continue to serve as interim anchors on the news show.

They should just let Anderson Cooper anchor all day, every day. We'd be just fine with that!

That hurts.

In order to integrate the Huffington Post into the AOL family, the company will be eliminating 900 jobs as they restructure the blog to try to return to revenue growth.

AOL's U.S., Chief Executive Officer Tim Armstrong wrote in a memo to employees on Thursday that the company will cut as many as 700 jobs in India and 200 in the U.S.

At the Bloomberg Media Summit in New York, Armstrong said:

“The changes for me today are very personal. AOL employees deserve a tremendous amount of credit because I don’t think it’s easy to go from managing decline to managing growth."

That should ease the pain.

Despite the cuts and the declining revenue even before purchasing the Huffington Post for $315 million, the executive maintains the company is focusing on growth, saying:

“Our strategy remains clear: create high quality content experiences for consumers, at scale. Today, we are announcing an organizational structure that will significantly improve AOL’s ability to focus on growth.”

“AOL will turn around," he added. "I have no doubt about that.”

For the 5,860 employees sake, we hope he's right.

Do U think AOL will turn around with the acquisition of the Huffington Post or continue to decline?
