A Philadelphia TV anchorwoman was fired Monday for causing her own breaking news by allegedly punching out a Manhattan cop and e-mailing sexy snapshots of herself to a married anchorman.

Alycia Lane, 35, will no longer work for the CBS affiliate in the City of Brotherly Love because of her off-camera "judgments," her bosses said.

"We have concluded that it would be impossible for Alycia to continue to report the news as she, herself, has become the focus of so many news stories," said CBS 3 (KYW-TV) President and General Manager Michael Colleran.

Lane hired Philadelphia attorney Paul Rosen to represent her in what's expected to be a wrongful-dismissal suit for what Rosen yesterday called the station's "unfair" and "unwarranted" move. Lane, 35, has nearly four years left on a contract believed to be worth $700,000 a year.
