KING'S RANSOM
King of Queens' Kevin James and Leah Remini
Why was
The King of Queens conspicuously MIA from CBS'
recent announcement of its renewed series? According to the
New York Post, the holdup may be the result of a "holdup," seeing as contracts are up for stars
Kevin James and
Leah Remini,
who each currently make about a half-mil per episode. "If I were on the air for so long [eight seasons], I'd be asking them to back the truck up to the bank," one insider tells the
Post. A spokesperson for CBS had no comment on the sitch, but negotiations with the two actors are supposedly underway.
