Celebrity Corner

Out of nowhere this week, Mandy Patinkin dropped the news on the CBS executives that he wants out of his contract and will be leaving the show with no other explanation other than "creative differences" between him and CBS.  The president of CBS disputed this claim citing personal issues on the part of Patinkin saying "I think creative differences is a euphemism for personal issues."

Patinkin, who plays Special Agent Jason Gideon has agreed to appear in one episode in the fall which will explain his departure in the story line.
