[edit] Deleted content

I have removed the following line from the article: "Katarina was to appear on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, but just prior to her appearance her publicist informed Mr. Leno, that Katarina would not discuss the Playboy layout. Katarina was subsequently asked to leave and never did appear on the show."

My rationale for doing so is as follows: 1. It is uncited and I cannot find any source that supports this as true, 2. I attended a press conference Witt gave in which she freely discussed and autographed copies of said pictorial, so it is not consistent for her not to be willing to discuss it on this show, 3. It is unlikely that a major series like Tonight Show would cancel a major performer like Witt at the last minute and to make such an uncited claim is actually a violation of WP:BLP with regards to Jay Leno.

If someone can provide a valid citation -- an interview with Witt, a news report, etc. -- then by all means feel free to put this back. 23skidoo 13:39, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
