SQUEAKY WHEEL

AFTER years of dedicated service to CNN, Christiane Amanpour may finally be getting her own show. Our insider said, "She's getting her own hour. She was furious after CNN gave Fareed Zakaria his own show on Sunday - especially since it's all about international affairs which is her specialty." CNN honchos bowed to Amanpour's wrath and are ready to announce her program "soon." A rep for CNN said only, "Christiane and Fareed are good friends and (she) helped launch his show and has been a regular guest." In other CNN news, Campbell Brown is pregnant with her second child. Mazeltov!
