Rex Without Bill?

Is the name Bill Harris coming off the “At the Movies” marquee? Harris says “no comment.” Ditto a rep for Tribune Entertainment, which produces. But a source close to the syndie review show tells us there’s talk of replacing the upbeat counterpart to acerbic Rex Reed--possibly with a female sidekick--for budgetary reasons.

“Both our contracts are now in renegotiation,” Harris admitted.

Harris also hosts three Showtime entertainment programs. Plus a daily 60-second radio gossip spot “Harris in Hollywood” that airs over 160 markets (including L.A.’s KBIG-FM).

“So it’s not as if I’m not going to be busy, whatever happens,” he quipped.
