Hollywood - Sources from within the FOX corporation, told reporters today, that due to the tremendous amount of canned goods which have flooded the studio's mail facility, actress Calista Flockhart's dressing room would be enlarged by moving co-stars Lisa Nicole Carson, and Courtney Thorne Smith, into a single room, and using the addition space to store the donated groceries. "We have simply run out of room" said spokesmen for the studio, adding, "Just today we received another ten cases of "Joe Weider Mega Mass Builder Shakes" and have no place to store them". Carson was said to be incensed by the decision, threatening to leave the show, if producer/director David E. Kelley didn't reverse the move. According to witnesses however, Carson seemed to accept the plan, after it was reported that Kelley had responded to the actress in an interoffice memo which read, "I would give that some more thought if I were you, Lisa. I hear McDonalds isn't hiring at the moment". Smith, who had recently been assigned the duty of retrieving coffee for the producer, echoed Carson's outrage, but fell short of issuing any ultimatums. "This move will be a benefit to all the cast and crew", said Fred Hanson, stage manager, "As it will serve the dual purpose of restricting access to the Campbell's Franks and Beans, which Greg has become so fond of, thus establishing a more pleasant "atmosphere" we can all live with".
FOX spokesmen insisted that they felt the decision would in no way strain relationships between the cast members, citing the fact that Gil Bellows had been with the show from it conception, and it was still going strong.
