Irvine off Home Shopping Network?

FEBRUARY 20, 2008

The day ended quietly yesterday for fresh news in the Irvine flap (well, except the story aired on Inside Edition). Late in the afternoon, Erin Crumb, director of corporate communications at HarperCollins, told me: "Our statement on it is we are reviewing the issues raised regarding Robert Irvine and his book Mission: Cook!"

But, get this: As of 6:30 p.m. last night, Irvine's line of cookware was all for sale on the Home Shopping Network's website. This morning, as of 8:15, all of the products have been pulled and are no longer available. Several attempts to speak with representatives at HSN yesterday went unanswered.

I'll be working today to find out what this means for the future of the "Possible Pan" and other Irvine merchandise.
