Almost nine months after the split between Viacom and CBS, and the CEOs of the two companies are bickering like two divorcees, according to a New York Post story. The latest squabble between CBS' Les Moonves (seen at left) and Viacom's Tom Freston centers around a movie deal between Viacom-owned Paramount and CBS-owned Showtime. The contract expires next year, and Moonves may balk at renewing the contract, which is very lucrative to Paramount. The bickering between the two executives reportedly stems from Moonves' belief that Paramount should have fallen under his auspices and not Freston's. —Matthew Wurtzel
