• ABC May Kill Off 'The View' in Favor of Adding Another Hour to 'GMA'

    "The View's" first season without veteran reporter Barbara Walters may end up being its last on the air if something does not radically change — fast. Pairing Whoopi Goldberg with Rosie O'Donnell has once again proven to be a fiasco onscreen that turns viscous backstage. Nicolle Wallace and Rosie Perez seem unable to handle the stress and infighting caused by the other two and the ratings are in the toilet. At first ABC was looking ahead to next season and trying to figure out who it could bring in to help turn the show around, but now it is instead contemplating putting "The View" out of its misery after Season 18 ends. According to a report by "The Daily Mail," ABC may instead opt to replace the show with an extended hour of "Good Morning America," which already gets great ratings. "The brass at ABC feels like they've tried to do everything possible to breathe new life into this show and are debating about replacing it with an additional hour of the well-rated 'Good Morning America.' ABC feels it's exhausted their options with 'The View' and now it's time to expand the existing franchise, 'GMA.' They feel that since 'GMA' is already beating NBC's 'Today' during the first two hours of the broadcast, why not extend the morning broadcast?" says a source close to the network.
  • Latest Bill Cosby Accuser Gives Details That Mirror Those of Other Women in Interview

    The last few weeks have not been good for Bill Cosby as new allegations have been made against the actor who has built an entire career on his wholesome image. An entire generation was raised on Cosby's portrayal of Dr. Cliff Huxtable and his peddling Pudding Pops during commercial breaks. Now, this same man is being painted as a serial rapist by at least 13 different woman who, at least up until now, have never met. Last week, a former teen actress named Barbara Bowman penned an editorial in "The Washington Post," accusing Cosby of drugging and raping her back in the 1980s. Yesterday, Joan Tarshis decided that it was her turn to speak up and tell CNN in an exclusive interview of what allegedly happened to her more than 30 years ago. Tarshis tells a story similar to what all of Cosby's other Jane Doe's have told authorities: She claims to have been drugged and raped by Cosby on more than one occasion.
  • 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey's' Teresa Giudice Cancels Fabellini Meet And Greet Amid Backlash From Former Fans

    Since being sentenced to 15 months behind bars for a handful of admitted financial crimes, Teresa Giudice seems to have a handle on the reality that she's no longer a real 'fan favorite'. When word spread that The Real Housewives of New Jersey star had planned on continuing on as if nothing had changed the backlash was pretty loud. Giudice had intended on still hosting a meet and greet on Oct. 8 in Westwood, N.J. Until former fans made it known loud and clear that they believed it proved that Giudice had lied to the judge when she claimed not to care about fame.
