When CBS Chief Les Moonves (right) greenlit the upcoming “Celebrity Big Brother,” he reportedly came home and issued a decree to his wife, Julie Chen (center) who hosts the show: “Jules, you tell your lawyer this is not a negotiation. This is what the deal is and you’re going to accept it. You tell your attorney this is not a game we’re playing. Everyone’s taking a haircut.” Her attorney? Les’ brother, Jon Mooves (left). By the smiles on Jon and Julie’s faces in this picture, that haircut doesn’t look too short.
