Martha takes the fall

CBS’ decision to delay its Martha Stewart movie, originally scheduled to air May 25, has more to do with timing than with a frenetic shooting schedule. Insiders say “Martha: Behind Bars,” starring Cybill Shepherd as the Domestic Diva, will air this fall – to capitalize on the debut of Stewart’s new syndicated lifestyle show and her [imminent] turn as host of “The Apprentice: Martha Stewart,” an offshoot of the Donald Trump version.

Speaking of Trump, ABC’s Trump biopic, “Trump Unauthorized,” airs May 24, the network announced yesterday.

Post radio scribe John Mainelli reports that Hot 97 personality Miss Info (aka Minya Oho), who boycotted the hip-hop station after its tsunami-parody fiasco last January, is returning to the air next week – but will do her “Celebrity Drama” reports Saturday morning and weeknights instead of mornings with Miss Jones. Oho’s attorney, Ken Thompson, declined comment yesterday on whether Oho had been given a financial settlement. “We’re happy with this,” Thompson told Mainelli.
