As we reported, Katie Couric has been not-so-secretly packing up her Lands End cotton cardigans in preparation to leave CBS.
Couric confirmed the rumored departure to People with a well crafted statement that reads more like a valedictorian speech…
Chris Brown: ‘GMA Wanted to Exploit Me’
March 24, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Chris Brown got a case of the angries and went all HULK SMASH, HULK ANGRY on a cooler and a window at the Good Morning America studios after Robin Roberts asked him questions that Brown and his team approved. ABC confirmed that not only did they get the questions approved, but Brown’s team did not offer talking point sheet. Chris told BET “106 and Park” that they did submit a talking points that focused only on the album. (Click HERE for the original reported including a photo of the damage and a video of interview…)
He started with a respectable apology that sounded like he was going to man-up and take responsibility.
“First of all, I want to apologize to anybody who was startled in the office, anybody who was offended or really disappointed in my actions because I was disappointed in the way I acted.”
Then he began to try and justify his actions…
“A lot of people don’t know what went down,” he continued. “When I do shows or when I do interviews, we send out like a talking point sheet. And if the network or whoever isn’t compliant with what we want to do so that we can equally accomplish a goal, we usually kind of back out. Everything that was sent to me was about the album. That’s what we were talking about,” he said of the interview. “So when the interview proceeded, I was thrown off. I felt like, ‘OK, they told us this to get us on the show and exploit me.’ I took it very, very hard. I kept my composure throughout the whole interview … And when I got back I just let off steam in the back. I didn’t physically hurt anyone. I just wanted to release the anger inside me. I got very emotional.”
Ok, Imma gonna go all Oprah… Again, I get that the topic is old news and I am sure he is tired of being persecuted for his past actions. However, there is a difference between “blowing off steam” and acting like a child throwing a tantrum. He has no one to blame for his choices and actions. Even if ABC failed to mention their line of questioning (which I doubt) or treated you unjustly…there is a way to handle things with class and maturity.
James Franco and Anne Hathaway HATE Each Other
March 1, 2011 By 1 Comment
The 2011 Oscars were as boring as ever and despite ABC’s attempt to appeal to a younger generation and repeatedly mention how “hip” the event was…the awards show failed.
Monday morning critics ripped the event and a lot of blame fell upon James Franco’s OVAH THIS attitude and Anne Hathaway’s overcompensating energy. The lack of chemistry was painfully obvious between James and Anne and sources told Us that it was due to the fact that they “hated each other” by the end of the ordeal.
“She had to provide all the energy — he was just phoning it in,” says a second insider. (“James seemed in his own little world,” during the Oscar telecast, says another source. “Producers were pissed.”
Rep’s for James say that the mag’s story is completely untrue, but I actually believe this one. It was like watching Lindsay Lohan attempt rehab…just sad and a big flop. They won’t be returning any time soon as Hugh Jackman and Billy Crystal are both up for the job again.

Aside from the fashion that will be subjected to Joan River’s endless puns, the night belongs who took home the Academy Award. Anne Hathaway and James Franco hosted the evenings events as two of the youngest hosts in the event’s history.
[Colin Firth's Oscars Acceptance Speech - VIDEO]
The theme of the night screamed “THE OSCARS ARE NOW HIP AND FUN!!!! YOU ARE HAVING FUN!!!” Too bad it was the typical snoozefest despite Anne’s high on life energy. She was brought down by Franco’s Ovah This Mess/Probably Stoned Right Now demeanor. Even with James briefly dressed as Marilyn Monroe and a skit in which he was in a white skintight leotard couldn’t save things from the sleepy state. Half way through the show most of the celebs were ready to hand over the Best Actor statue to Colin Firth and get to the bar already.

Bristol Palin Joins ‘Dancing With The Stars’
August 26, 2010 By 1 Comment
Excuse me, did I miss the time she was actually a “star?” Despite being famous for, well – pretty much nothing except for the nasty baby-mama/daddy-drama going on between her and her ex Levi Johnston – Bristol Palin has joined the cast of the upcoming season of ABC’s ‘Dancing With The Stars,’ set to premiere Sept. 20th with a cast that is said to also includes David Hasselhoff, Audrina Patridge, ‘Jersey’s Shore’ The Situation, and Brandy.
And she claims that Levi is a fame-whore, being was upset with him for wanting to try and achieve fame? Pot? Kettle? Hello?
Per E! Online:
This will be Bristol Palin’s second gig with ABC, having guest starred last month on ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager. It seems this teen mom may be taking a page from Melissa Rycroft’s book, using DWTS to rebound after her recent breakup (with Levi Johnston).
I thought they got the “stars” (cough) for this show from a list of has-been celebrities who want to re-energize their lagging careers. How does Palin fit this description? One has to BE someone before they are considered to be a “has-been.”
Other new names reported to be joining the cast of “DWTS” are former ‘Brady Bunch‘ mom Florence Henderson, ‘Dirty Dancing‘ star Jennifer Grey, ex-NBA star Rick Fox, former NFL star Kurt Warner, and comedienne Margaret Cho.
Sorry ABC, you just lost me. Casting fail!

Dancing with the Stars 2010 Lineup
March 2, 2010 By 2 Comments
I never watch this shiz despite the lure of has-beens being put into bedazzled frocks and made to dance like monkeys. Of course these same friends also tell me that watching “The Bachelor” is like witnesses the birth of baby Jesus.
Regardless the lineup for Dancing with the Stars has been announced. I only had to Google a few of these Z-listers which is already an improvement from last year’s list that put my Google out of commission for a week.
Kate Gosselin – The reason why weaves are needed in this world.
Pamela Anderson – The world’s first prostitute.
Evan Licecheck – Olympic gold medalist who is the Gargamel to Johnny Weir’s Vanity Smurf.
Nicole Scherzinger- Pussycat Doll. Yup, they are still around.
Brenda Walsh AKA Shannon Doherty (Some people can’t take a joke) – The PMS-y one from the original 90210
Ochocinco- Wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals
Jake Pavelka – The robot from The Bachelor managed to nab some reality star overtime.
Neicy Nash – Deputy Williams on Reno 911 and host of Clean House
Erin Andrews – ESPN sportscaster who was the victim of a peeping tom who caught her doing naked lunges while curling her hair in a hotel.
Buzz Aldrin – The second man on the moon.
Aiden Turner – Man who spends his days taking his shirt off in soft core Lady Porn AKA Soap Operas.

ABC Cancels ‘Ugly Betty’
January 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment
When ‘Ugly Betty’ first premiered I watched it. I liked it. America Ferrera was adorable.
And then…
…well, when Rebecca Romijin was suddenly a cast-member who used to be a man so she could get back at her dad while her brother hit on her-that’s when I (and apparently everyone else) stopped watching.
ABC told the show’s producers yesterday that Betty’s current season, its fourth, is also its last.
Via Entertainment Weekly:
“The good news is that ABC has given Betty’s bosses enough time to craft a satisfying series finale. Exec producer Silvio Horta and ABC president Steve McPherson confirmed as much in this joint statement: ‘We’ve mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty’s final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell.’”
No word yet as to whether or not Betty’s Guadalajara poncho will make a final appearance.

Adam Lambert Says He Meant No Disprespect
December 1, 2009 By 3 Comments
Adam Lambert has had to answer a lot of questions about his provocative American Music Awards performance over the last week or so, and the questions don’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. He’ll once again open up about the performance that shocked some people when he appears on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” He admitted that he may have crossed a line or two during the performance, but says that he’s still learning. Lambert also said he didn’t “intend to disrespect anyone” with the performance and that he has no hard feelings toward ABC, which canceled his “Good Morning America” appearance after his risky performance. Following the performance, Lamberts mom supported him on “The Early Show,” but Lambert his dad thought he should have apologized.
Per Celebitchy:
“My dad was like, ‘Maybe you should apologize, Adam,’” he says on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Tuesday. “I was like, “You know, dad, I don’t feel like I did anything wrong. It just wasn’t maybe the right judgment call. It’s a taste thing more than an obscenity thing. I think it’s just a taste level.’”
As for ABC and Good Morning America, he claims they were ‘a little mad’ at him and that he doesn’t blame them, saying they gave him a ‘great opportunity’ and that he would ‘never want to smack that gift horse in the mouth.’ Well I’m glad that he is finally admitting that his actions were a bit inappropriate for network tv. Adam is very talented and should be known for his vocals, not his antics. What Lambert really needs is someone besides himself to make PR and creative decisions. I still cannot believe he didn’t know that the family viewers who supported him on “American Idol” wouldn’t be offended by his AMA shenanigans.
