Despite Hiring Freeze, LA 'Party Girl' Lands Job At Showtime PR...Thanks To Friends In High Places

(Apologies for the whopper of the headline.)

An apparently unqualified “veteran of the LA party scene,” Rohini Singh, has landed a job as a PR assistant at Showtime, thanks to her personal relationship with billionaire Sumner Redstone, who happens to have majority control of Showtime.

Peter Lauria of The Daily Beast reports: “According to multiple sources inside CBS, or with knowledge of the situation, Rohini Singh…was hired last summer in the publicity office of Showtime at the direction of Redstone himself—and much to the chagrin of network employees, who were supposedly in the midst of a hiring and raise freeze…Singh doesn’t do very much: only the most basic entry-level tasks like compiling clips and making phone calls.
