Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford to Reunite on The Today Show?
11 months ago
How might the potential firing of Ann Curry bring about a reunion between one of TV’s most beloved tandems? Well…
Rumors are circulating that if when Curry is let go by The Today Show, her seat will be filled by Hota Kotb, who currently hosts the program’s fourth hour alongside Kathie Lee Gifford.
This, of course, would leave an empty chair alongside Kathie Lee… and it might be occupied by Regis Philbin, sources say!
Philbin and Gifford, of course, spent years by each other’s side on Live! every morning until the latter left in 2001 and was replaced by Kelly Ripa. Regis then retired from

11 months ago
Blue Ivy Carter is quite the worldly baby.
Beyonce and Jay-Z’s little girl, five months, has been named an honorary citizen of the Croatian Island of Hvar, where the pair vacationed last summer.
The tribute stems from a blog post Beyonce posted in March, and from a moment on the island that may well have inspired the little girl’s unique name.
“We woke up this morning, took a nice little walk, passed by this beautiful blue tree,” the then-pregnant Beyonce shared in a video released on her blog.
“I think it’s Blue Ivy, which would be quite appropriate!”
Tourism to Hvar has reportedly

“Daytime” is classified as 2 a.m. until 6 p.m., so there was a lot of ground to cover for Anderson Cooper and Oscar the Grouch, who served as co-hosts.
Despite two soap operas biting the dust this year (All My Children and One Life to Live), the annual award gala was a positive one across the board.
Notably, despite a ratings dip and rumors of Ann Curry’s firing, NBC’s Today Show nabbed the award for Outstanding Morning Show program just the

Will Ryan Seacrest be taking over for Matt Lauer on The Today Show?
The American Idol host addressed that rumor this morning… to Matt Lauer on The Today Show.
After joking about taking both Lauer’s job and that of weatherman Al Roker, Seacrest revealed that, yes, he has signed a new deal with NBC Universal. But Lauer can rest easy.
“The plan is for me to join the NBC family and continue to have a role at the E! network,” Ryan said. “The first assignment will be to join the prime time team for the Olympics on NBC.”
From there, who knows. But one thing is certain: this appearance by

Yes, Paula Abdul really is out of The X Factor.
While no one doubted the veracity of this morning’s report – which detailed the ousting of Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and Steve Jones – the singer herself had not spoken out about the decision until now.
“I’ve learned through my longevity in this industry that business decisions often times override personal considerations,” Paula said in a statement. “Simon and I, along with Fox and [producers] Fremantle, have been communicating about this for a while now, and I have absolute understanding of the situation.
“Simon is, and will remain a dear

Charlie Sheen is on his way back into our living room: his FX sitcom premieres in June.
What made that network take a chance on the troubled actor? President and general manager John Landgraf was asked this question by reporters yesterday at the Television Critics Association press tour and said he was “as skeptical as you might imagine” when he first walked in to a pitch meeting with Sheen. But then…
“I saw [a very different Charlie Sheen] in the room, and what I heard was a really good pitch for a comedy series – funny, complicated, and I think the character that Charlie ought to be

Regis Philbin’s replacement on ABC could be Rob Lowe, reports say.
Lowe just finished a two-day stint guest hosting with Kelly Ripa and an ABC source says the top network brass “loved the chemistry between them.”
Network executives have spoken with Lowe’s reps about making it a permanent gig, but Lowe, who stars on Parks and Recreation, is non-committal.
There’s a big surprise. One of the more itinerant actors around, Lowe has departed in the middle of numerous programs’ runs in pursuit of other projects.
