Idle Chatter: Miley, Katie, A-Rod, H... Report: Brit Hume to Step Down

Jul 15 2008 12:50PM EDT

As you may have heard by now, Larry King is writing a memoir, to be called What Am I Doing Here? Why would Weinstein Books choose a title that guarantees the geriatric host will be ridiculed on late-night TV? Perhaps because it had no better options. Here are the other titles that made the short list, provided to me by a top-secret source.* I think you'll see what I mean.

Has Anybody Seen My Pants? Backstage with the King of Talk

Hnnh...What? No, Of Course Not. I was Just Resting My Eyes for a Second

What Did You Say Your Show Is Called Again, Mr. Seinfeld? Conversations with People My Bookers Assured Me Are A-List
