Stillman, seeking unspecified damages, says a letter from Been to Burnett exists to support her claim. Less persuasive is that during her time on the island, Stillman was known as "the annoying one." CBS, also a defendant in the suit, called the action "frivolous and groundless." Reprising his role as America's crazy old coot, Boesch said of Stillman, "I can't figure...

Which is an overstatement, says Lilley. The snakes, particularly the brown snake and the taipan, can be vicious (and three crew members were bitten during production) but mostly the problems...
...CBS, who must be worrying a tiny bit about the Peacock's super-"Friends," - and who is already getting sued by one of Rudy's vanquished from last season - is very relieved...
