The rumors are true: Kathleen Parker and Eliot Spitzer are breaking up.
USA TODAY's Gary Levin reports that a CNN staff memo has just gone out from exec Ken Jautz saying that Parker "has decided to leave the program to focus on her writing."
The show will now be called In the Arena and will feature an "ensemble format with several newsmakers, guests and contributors joining Eliot Spitzer each night."
The new show kicks off Monday night at 8 p.m. Parker will "continue to appear on CNN occasionally to provide her insights and commentary."
