It was reported that co-stars Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park, the remaining Asian-American headliners on a show based in a majority-Asian state, exited Hawaii Five-0 after failing to achieve the same pay as fellow actors Alex O’Loughlin and Scott Caan, who are white. Kim appeared to confirm the motive for his departure ...
The diversity report, which graded networks on diversity initiatives and on the hiring of Latino actors, writers, producers, directors and executives, ranked CBS among the worst, giving it a final mark of "mediocre." "CBS’ performance is lagging in nearly every category, including Latino on-screen talent in scripted an...
CBS' saving grace at the time was its elevation of Latina Nina Tassler to the role of entertainment chairman. The next year, however, she stepped down and assumed an advisory role with the network. "Given the networks' record in terms of diversity, the loss at Hawaii Five-0 is incredibly ill-advised," Nogales says duri...
"I think it's reckless," he adds. "It's going to cost them with the Asian community and with other communities of color."
The latest UCLA Hollywood Diversity Report examined 806 scripted broadcast TV roles and found only 4 percent were filled by Asian-Americans. It didn't rank the networks on diversity, but last year the Los Angeles Times looked at the broadcast networks' fall lineups and concluded that CBS had the fewest minority lead ac...
In a statement responding to criticism that Kim and Park were worth equal money, CBS said, "We did not want to lose them and tried very hard to keep them with offers for large and significant salary increases."
Producer Peter M. Lenkov added, "The actors were getting unprecedented raises, but in the end they chose to move on. Over our 168 episodes, Hawaii Five-0 has and will continue to showcase one of the most diverse casts on TV."
Some Hollywood observers have pointed out that TV stars are usually paid by their billing and, technically speaking, Kim and Park were billed third and fourth on Hawaii Five-0. To pay them the same as the first and second stars could open the network to such demands from other actors, regardless of their ethnicity. Nog...
"When you have four people and they're all talked about in the same breath, and you've not compensated them as the rest, it's bigoted," he says.
Variety reported that Kim and Park were offered pay that would be 10 to 15 percent less than what their white co-stars were expected to make for the upcoming eighth season of the program. It's not clear if O’Loughlin and Caan offered to pitch in for pay equity, but similar scenarios have taken place at other shows, inc...
April Reign, the former attorney who founded the #OscarsSoWhite social media movement, said via email that Kim and Park have brought renewed focus to the matter of equal pay for people of color.
"I am encouraged to see that the issue of pay equity has traction and I hope that it continues to gain momentum," she said. "It is incumbent that we all do our part to ensure inclusion in entertainment. That includes those who are able to use their privilege to stand in the gap for those fighting for a seat at the tabl...
On Happening Now yesterday, Jenna Lee wondered whether she's having a boy or a girl, and we heard the predictions from the Fox family. But once she knows that answer, then what?
So she asked some of the other parents of Fox News and Fox Business Network for their advice on babies and parenting.
Take a break once in a while. Let the husband help so you can go for a walk or get a manicure.
When the baby sleeps, you better sleep too. And the baby monitor? Turn it off. Our parents never had them, after all.
As if Jenna won't have enough to do, Eric says go get a puppy too, then they can grow up together.
"When you look at that baby for the first time, your life changes. It's the most magical moment. And from that moment on, you're someone's mother."
Don't work too hard when they're young because, before you know it, they'll be all grown up.
"Just remember: part of the joy of having kids is you gain a tax dependent. One more deduction." - Cavuto.
Neil did also have some serious words of wisdom, and Ed Henry shared his own experiences as a father of two. Watch the full segment above.
And Jenna wants to hear your advice, so share it with her below or on Twitter or on Happening Now's America's Asking live chat.

Despite the booming economy, the number of people without health insurance rose sharply last year, to 43.4 million, and the proportion of Americans lacking coverage reached the highest level in a decade, 16.1 percent, the Census Bureau reported today.
After rising slightly more than 1 million a year, on the average, in the last decade, the number of uninsured people was up 1.7 million last year, the largest increase since 1992.
But he and other experts said there were several logical explanations for the rising number of uninsured. Medicaid rolls are down as stringent new laws prod people to move from welfare to work and the low-paying jobs they find often do not offer health benefits. Some employers have said they are cutting back health ben...
Even people with higher incomes are going without insurance. Households with annual incomes of $75,000 or more accounted for half the increase in the number of uninsured, the bureau said. The number of people in these upper-income households without insurance rose last year by 852,000, to 4.9 million.
The Census Bureau said that 8.1 percent of these higher-income households were uninsured last year, up from 7.6 percent in 1996. Economists said that many of these people were probably self-employed or worked for small businesses that did not provide coverage.
The number of poor people without insurance stayed about the same, 11.2 million. Nearly one-third of all poor people -- 31.6 percent -- were uninsured last year, about the same as in 1996.
The Government said that more than one of every five people was uninsured last year in six states: Texas, Arizona, Arkansas, New Mexico, California and Mississippi. By contrast, Hawaii, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Vermont had the highest rates of coverage, with fewer than 10 percent of their residents uninsured.
Expanding coverage has been a top priority for President Clinton since he took office in 1993. Since his proposal for universal health insurance died in September 1994, he has announced dozens of initiatives to achieve that goal. But he has been unable to stop the erosion in coverage, and Congress, which has passed sev...
Administration officials maintain that the situation would be even worse without their efforts to guarantee coverage for children and for workers who change or lose jobs.
Mr. Clinton has ordered Federal officials to redouble efforts to locate children who are eligible for Medicaid but who are not enrolled. Republicans and insurance companies, which helped to kill Mr. Clinton's plan in 1994, say they want to create new tax breaks to help people buy private insurance, but Congress has had...
The Census Bureau said that 10.7 million children were uninsured last year, about the same number as in 1996. Because of Medicare, nearly all people 65 and older have insurance coverage. So it was people 18 to 64 years old who accounted for the increase in the uninsured.
People 18 to 24 years old are least likely to have coverage, the bureau said. Thirty percent of these young adults were uninsured last year, up from 28.9 percent in 1996.
Hispanic Americans had the highest chance of being uninsured. Thirty-four percent of Hispanic people lacked insurance last year, compared with 21.5 percent of blacks and 12 percent of non-Hispanic whites.
The Census Bureau had been planning to issue a report on the data on Monday. But the raw data were posted on the Internet on Thursday. Physicians for a National Health Program, a small organization of doctors, tabulated and analyzed the data and issued its findings today.
''What's startling is the magnitude of the increase when the economy was booming,'' said Dr. Steffie Woolhandler, a co-founder of the organization. The group advocates universal access to health care.
* Welfare rolls have been shrinking for several years. People on welfare automatically get Medicaid. But when they leave welfare, they often take low-paying jobs with no health benefits. These workers or their children may still be eligible for Medicaid, but they do not realize it.
* Small businesses are creating most of the nation's new jobs. But these businesses are far less likely than big companies to provide health insurance.
* Health care and insurance costs are on the rise. Cost is the reason most often cited, by individuals and employers, for not buying insurance.
New York City has begun inspecting the homes of some people who apply for Medicaid, to see if they misrepresented their income, assets or living arrangements. Some advocates for the poor say it is one more obstacle to getting health insurance.
The Census Bureau's report is based on interviews with 50,000 households chosen to be representative of the nation as a whole.
The Government said that 43.3 percent of the poor were covered by Medicaid at some time last year, down from 45.5 percent in 1996.
Many poor people do not qualify for Medicaid. Many states set income limits far below the poverty level. Childless adults are often ineligible even if they have very low incomes.
The Census Bureau found that the number of people with employer-sponsored health insurance rose last year, to 165.1 million, from 163.2 million in 1996. More people are working, and employers may be providing health benefits for some of those workers, even as they eliminate benefits for some dependents.

AN education trust bidding to open an innovative ecology school in east Suffolk are entering the new year hoping for Government approval.
The group behind the proposal – for a free school teaching a flexible curriculum through practical learning – are ready to progress to the next stage of the bidding process, following a series of open events for parents.
The Fullfledge Trust should know in the spring whether it can go ahead with plans to open the free school in September 2014, teaching youngsters aged four to 16, and practising an education system that gives equal attention to the physical, emotional, intellectual, cultural and spiritual needs of each pupil to promote ...
The Fullfledge Ecology School curriculum would incorporate aspects of the Steiner approach, which is already practised at state-funded schools in other countries like America, Canada and Australia, but bidders say it would not be designated a “Steiner School”.
After making the Government’s short list of free schools that could be given the green light, Fullfledge Trust members headed to London last summer for an interview with the DfE, which ultimately determines whether or not the school gets funding. Officials recommended the group make changes to the secondary education p...
The group, named after a Suffolk word for a fully-grown fledgling, hopes to open a school in the east Ipswich or south-east Suffolk area of the county, and has explored moving on to the site formerly occupied by Amberfield School in Nacton, near Ipswich, but is still investigating a suitable location.
Proposals for another free school by the Maharishi Free School Trust, for a site in Rendlesham, near Woodbridge, are also being re-submitted to the Government after being requested to make changes to the proposed curriculum.
DAVID BECKHAM is a style icon to millions – including, it seems, his son Brooklyn.
The 18-year-old has shared snaps of himself getting his first tattoo, choosing the same Native American chieftain design that David, 41, sports.
Here we look at other times the pair have been united by their fashion choices, and Sun writers argue for and against the teen’s mini-me devotion.
BROOKLYN, your dad is one of the coolest, most stylish men in the world.
But at 18 it’s important for your future that you develop your own sense of identity.
At your age, David wasn’t attending the opening of an envelope and frolicking with D-list celebrities twice his age.
He was at the Manchester United Carrington training ground for hour after hour practising his set pieces.
He wasn’t posing for endless pictures in designer clothing.
And he certainly wasn’t getting inked.
Yes, it’s right to love him, look up to him and even idolise him.
But right now you are becoming a convenient prop in Brand Beckham, rather than developing a career or future in your own right.
Having covered this industry for years, I can honestly say there is nothing worse than being famous for being famous.
And being famous for being the son of a world famous footballer is even worse.
Just ask Calum Best, Bianca Gascoigne or George Lineker.
I know you want to become a photographer.
So you’d be much better off looking at the career of Paul McCartney’s daughter Mary, who worked hard for years to develop her reputation as one of the world’s top snappers.
And for the record, a body covered on tattoos looks good on Becks but not most mere mortals. Good luck.
FOR most normal teenagers, mimicking their parents would be a fast pass to loserville.
But Brooklyn is no normal teenager – his dad is DAVID BLOODY BECKHAM.
It came as no surprise to me that, at 18, Brooklyn has got a matching tattoo to his dad. And why shouldn’t he?
David has it all. He’s a style icon, footie hero and family man.
I’d bet the majority of the British male population would get a matching tattoo to Becks if they had the chance.
Even I would get one if I thought for one second it would get me closer to him.
And let’s be honest, it’s not like David is rocking an embarrassing dadbod and dresses like Jeremy Corbyn. His wardrobe is filled with dapper suits, simple tees and casual shirts that is the perfect mix of cool and suave – exactly how men should dress.
Millions have been copying Goldenballs for years, young AND old.
My boyfriend, for example, got blonde highlights at the age of ten just to copy Becks and still worships the ground he walks on 18 years later.
Sure, David’s not always got it right (couple-dressing denim, for example), so Brooklyn has the benefit of skipping that awkward phase.
And I am sick of all this “be yourself” stuff. Just because he looks to his Dad as his role model doesn’t mean he isn’t his own person.
We’d all be up in arms if Brooklyn stepped out with a gangster limp, trousers dropped past his pants and ten chains round his neck, wouldn’t we?

CNN International is to exclusively broadcast a new three-part documentary featuring British broadcaster Ben Fogle and double Olympic gold medallist Victoria Pendleton CBE, who faced one the greatest challenges of their lives attempting to reach the summit of Everest.
In a journey that captures the mental and physical toll of the 8,848-meter climb – which has claimed the lives of nearly 300 people – The Challenge: Everest accompanies Fogle and Pendleton during their six-day trek to base camp, acclimatisation on Everest and final ascent to reach the summit.
The Challenge: Everest tells the story and dangers of the six-week expedition, including the extreme weather and frequent avalanches on the South Col route from Nepal. Through revealing interviews and intimate video diaries, viewers will see Pendleton wrestling with the heart–wrenching decision whether to retire from t...
The documentary also captures the life-threatening moment when both Fogle and the cameraman’s oxygen regulators exploded within sight of the summit, deep within Everest’s so-called Death Zone.
Fogle and Pendleton were accompanied by world-renowned mountaineer Kenton Cool, who was making his 13th ascent of Everest. Together with the heroic Sherpas Ang Thindu Sherpa and Ming Dorjee Sherpa, who sacrificed their own oxygen masks and tanks to rescue Fogle and the expedition’s cameraman.
Produced by CNN Vision, the in-house creative production unit of CNN International, Fogle and Pendleton were filmed by award-winning photographer Mark Fisher, an expert mountaineer in his own right. The Challenge: Everest enlists CNN’s commitment to high-quality productions to capture the intensity of scaling the world...
As part of Fogle’s capacity as UN Patron of the Wilderness, the team effected an ‘ethical’ climb, aiming to remove all the expedition’s waste from the mountain and reduce environmental damage caused by visitors to Everest, 65 years after Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary made the first confirme...
Fogle and Pendleton’s climb was in support of The British Red Cross and the expedition was part of the ‘Anything is Possible’ initiative, founded by Her Royal Highness Princess Haya, which honours the legacy of HM King Hussein I, who believed that with faith, honour and courage, anything is possible.
CNN’s portfolio of news and information services is available in seven different languages across all major TV, digital and mobile platforms reaching more than 475 million households around the globe. CNN International is the number one international TV news channel according to all major media surveys across Europe, t...
