Late Breaks: Diller and Malone Will Both Lose

-Fortune's Richard Siklos has a prediction about how this whole Barry Diller/John Malone showdown will end: "I bet that Lamb effectively rules against both of them: He'll tell Diller that he can't spin off the companies in the fashion he is proposing without Liberty's consent, and he'll tell Malone that he can't fire Diller and his board just yet. In that case, it's back to the sandbox, boys." [Fortune]

-ESPN.com is cutting ties with some -- but not all -- ad networks for fear of commoditizing its audience. [Mediaweek]

-New Time Warner chief Jeff Bewkes got a raise last year, while Dick Parsons earned less. [Bloomberg]

-Because she didn't act fast enough, Ashley Alexandra Dupre has lost $1 million that she never had in the first place. [Ad Age]. □
