Neither rain, nor sleet, nor abrupt 5.8 earthquake can stop Nikki Finke from covering the entertainment industry (though her phone was knocked out for a spell). From DeadlineHollywoodDaily:

"Talk about flattering. I've just learned that Warren Leight has been replaced by not one but two executive producers on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Sources tell me that Dick Wolf's plan is to break the 16-episode season into two sets of 8 episodes each. Walon Green will exec produce the 8 episodes starring Vincent D'Onofrio, while Robert Nathan will exec produce the episodes starring newcomer Jeff Goldblum who replaced Chris Noth. And of course Wolf supervises everyone. I broke the news back on May 31st that, within days of USA Networks renewing CI and in the middle of hammering out his new CI deal, Leight jumped to HBO's In Treatment."

Walon Green has Executive Produced over 60 episodes of Law and Order since 1992; Nathan has co-executive produced 21 episodes in the past few years. The full story here.
