PENN ON CBS
CBS News’ Charlie Rose says that Sean Penn has agreed to talk to him about his interview with Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman for Rolling Stone magazine.
Penn’s exclusive turned out to be controversial: Authorities said his meeting with one of the world’s most wanted men helped them track him down, and Penn was criticized for giving “El Chapo” the chance to review his article before it was published.
Rose, a co-host of “CBS This Morning” and host of a PBS talk show, said it’s not clear when the interview will take place.

GOOD WIFE
CBS’ Sunday drama “The Good Wife” is about to suffer a big loss.
Robert and Michelle King, the husband-and-wife team that created the series and are the main writers, have said they won’t return after this season. The complex series starring Julianna Margulies is one of the most critically well-regarded series on network television, and has been on the air since 2009.
The departure doesn’t necessarily mean the series is ending, said Glenn Geller, CBS entertainment president. The show has a deep bench of writers and no decision has been made about its future, he said.

MIKE & MOLLY
CBS says the blue collar comedy “Mike & Molly will call it quits after its current season.
CBS Entertainment chief Glenn Geller confirmed on Tuesday what cast members had already let slip earlier. The show has recently begun its 13-episode final season, although CBS hasn’t yet scheduled its finale.
“Mike & Molly” began airing in 2010 and stars Billy Gardell and Melissa McCarthy as a couple who met at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting.
