Morning Mix: Fox Reality Show Will Be 'Survivor' Meets 'The Office'
- Fawcett's Son Still Battling Drug Demons. Redmond O'Neal, the 24-year-old son of longtime partners Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal, was charged with drug possession yesterday, following an incident in which he took a friend to visit an inmate at at L.A. area jail—with herion in his car. Whoops. This comes as Fawcett has been hospitalized after she traveled to Germany to receive some alternative cancer treatment, and immediately flew home afterward—causing complications and a hematoma.

- Hannah Montana Gets Thumbs Up. The first reviews are in—in addition to the grin we got from NEWSWEEK's Ramin Setoodeh after his screening, Variety gives the pic a solid endorsement and says that even dragged-along dads will find something to like about the film. As they put it, "Even if you live in a cave or loathe little girls, you've probably heard of Hannah Montana." Sounds about right. [Variety]
- Getting Fired Is Funny On Fox. Fox has turned our pain into a reality show—our unemployment pain, that is. Operating under the working title of "Someone's Gotta Go," the project sounds kind of... awesome: A small, 20-person company will be told by management that there will be layoffs—the twist being, the staff gets to pick who gets the axe. Eeeevil. Muahahaha. [The Hollywood Reporter]
