News Makers: I Love Lucy writer Carroll dies at 87
Bob Carroll Jr, the pioneering television writer who worked on all of Lucille Ball's TV shows, including I Love Lucy, has died. He was 87. Carroll, who had been in failing health for the past month, died on Saturday, family friend and fellow TV writer Thomas Watson said Monday. Carroll and Madelyn Pugh Davis, his writing partner of more than 60 years, were working on comedian Steve Allen's radio show in the 1940s when they learned Ball was looking for writers for her show, My Favorite Husband. "They actually conned Steve Allen into writing his own show one week and took the time off to write a spec script for Lucy," Watson said. "CBS and Lucy loved it, and they became the first permanent writers." Carroll and Pugh went on to work on every episode of the long-running show, Watson said, as well as many episodes of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy and Life With Lucy.

Wal-Mart Claims Proof Julie Roehm Had Affair
New York Magazine is reporting what we all already know. New York Magazine tells us Wal-mart has proof Julie Roehm had an affair with Sean Womack, writing us, "Wal-Mart has told New York Magazine exclusively that it has 'irrefutable and admissible evidence' that fired senior vice-president of marketing communications, Julie Roehm, had an affair with Sean Womack, a vice-president who reported to her. Roehm is the subject of an upcoming piece in the magazine by Steve Fishman. Wal-Mart had remained nearly silent since the firing of Roehm and Womack on December 4." We're not sure we want to know what that "irrefutable and admissible evidence" is because, well, that sort of thing is just gross. Kind of like a President's "fluid" on an intern's dress. Ew. Roehm isn't taking it lying down telling New York Magazine, "I guarantee there is nothing because it didn't happen.
