Wild for Jacko

All three major networks led the evening news last night with the Michael Jackson story, says Variety, which surveys the newsmagazine shows being ripped up to get on the air with Jacko specials. NBC's "Dateline" was the first to promo a show for Friday night. CBS, meanwhile, had to shelve a special timed to the release of Jackson's new CD.

Update 9:50 A.M.: Diane Dimond of Court TV broke the news of the arrest warrant out for Jackson and the earlier raid on his Neverland ranch. She first reported on allegations ten years ago -- and her phone has been tapped by Anthony Pellicano. The Hollywood Reporter has a story on her.

It's DIANE Dimond, not Rita.
