    "Brusque management style" hardly does justice to the Pterodactyl psycho producerbitch Shelley Ross. Lisa de Moraes Wash Post SF Gate Why is NYP Page Six "surprised" that CBS News boss Sean McManus "couldn't find one nice thing to say about Ross?" New York mag's gossipistas target Page Six for getting off on reporting Shelley's sins: Maybe it's because we once had a boss who instituted an office-wide "tackling policy" and occasionally spoke to us through the zipper on his pants, but we maintain our position that Ross's staff sounds like a bunch of babies and that she has been, perhaps, unfairly maligned. Radar has the lowdown on Shelley's quick suicide: Perhaps most damaging was Ross' refusal to do any CBS-friendly promotion. This was not some play for editorial freedom, however: sources say it came from Ross' hatred of CBS president Les Moonves. (The feeling is apparently mutual.) Not only did this alienate the powers on the West Coast, it angered Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen. Ross' decision not to promote Big Brother didn't sit well with Chen, either—in addition to hosting the show she also happens to be married to Moonves. ("Every night Les goes to bed with a headache," said a source.)Shelley, now that you're on the beach, might I suggest you undergo the same exorcism MSNBC's David Shuster had to endure to rid the demonic "sins of the father."
