The finale of CBS's Star Search was pre-empted for Iraq war coverage halfway through the live show last Wednesday night. Because the show is live and counts on viewers' votes over the Web to determine winners, the show was stopped at 9:33 p.m. (ET) when war coverage took precedence. Winners had already been chosen in the kids musician and dance category. One of the two comedians in the comic category had performed before getting bumped for news. The adult singer category didn't take place. Results of the completed categories will stand and the network and producers are still determining how and when they will finish the show, a CBS spokesperson said.
