Page Six reports that Vanessa Minnillo is "ankling." And MTV World's slate of channbels for Asian-American teens isn't doing so hot either. From Multichannel (link via Paidcontent):
"MTV Networks’ week of job cuts continued Wednesday and included the imminent shutdown of the MTV World three-channel digital suite.
"People at the Viacom-owned programming stable said the cuts -- of an estimated 250 jobs all told -- and the nature of their being staggered over several days has made it challenging to get work done at the company’s Times Square headquarters. But announcements of some hires and promotions are expected to come later, softening the blow a bit.
"... Several high-titled executives saw their departures reported on Jossip, including executive VP of programming Paul DeBenedittis and senior VP of production Salli Frattini. Kathy Flynn, the senior VP who handled event productions, was also let go, Jossip reported and people close to the process confirmed.
"The fate of MTV2 general manager David Cohn remained unclear -- people at the company said he was considering the offer of another position -- but staff cuts were deep at MTV2 and at VH1 Classic, whose general manager, Eric Sherman, was caught up in the cuts.
"Those channels and mtvU, the nascent college-campus programming service, are said to be safe.
"Not so MTV World, which has three channels (MTV Desi, MTV Chi and MTV K) targeted toward young Asian Americans and carried on DirecTV."
