• Bill Cosby's Career Continues to Die as Charlotte Show Has Been Postponed Indefinitely

    Bill Cosby issued a brief statement to his fans a few weeks ago thanking them for the continued support. In it, he also insisted that his career is far from over. Perhaps the fallen comedian should reevaluate his thinking because one way or another, the majority of the shows that he still has booked are ending up being canceled one way or another. Cosby was scheduled to perform in Charlotte next month but as of yesterday, it has officially been postponed.

  • NBC's 'Will & Grace' Are Reuniting — Sort Of!

    Fans of NBC's "Will & Grace" have been asking for a reunion ever since the comedy was canceled nearly 10 years ago, and it looks like they will be getting the next best thing. The network has confirmed that Eric McCormack will be making a guest appearance on Debra Messing's current show "The Mysteries of Laura."McCormack will be playing Dr. Andrew Devlin, a character who was once engaged to Laura but is now her prime suspect in a murder case. Since Messing and McCormack's banter on "Will & Grace" is what made their chemistry great, it will be interesting to see if it is still there when they are forced to be more serious, as this show dictates.Bringing McCormack in is also kind of a desperate attempt to reel in new viewers in the hopes that they will stick around and continue watching. "The Mysteries of Laura" follows Messing as Laura Diamond, a homicide detective in the NYPD who has to juggle her life as a detective along with her life as the mother to two twin boys. Her ex-husband is already in the picture, so it will be interesting to see how bringing in an ex-fiance mixes things up.

  • 'Parks and Recreation' Recap & Review: NBC Comedy Kicks off Final Season in the Future

    By the end of Season Two, NBC's Parks and Recreation, the ugly cousin of the network's monster hit The Office, was heading toward uncertainty.

Thankfully, the crew's salvation came in the form of a pregnancy.

  • Did 'Today's' Matt Lauer Have an Affair with Giada De Laurentiis?

    Giada De Laurentiis has been plagued with rumors ever since announcing her split from husband Todd Thompson last week. She has been accused of cheating on her soon-to-be-ex with several different men, and while De Laurentiis is denying all accusations of infidelity, there is one that is raising eyebrows. The celebrity chef has been accused of hooking up with the host of "The Today Show," Matt Lauer, who is often the subject of cheating rumors himself.According to Page Six, De Laurentiis denies getting cozy with the married Lauer in 2011 in Barbados, where he was filming a segment for the NBC morning news program. The problem is that Lauer has been accused of cheating on his long-suffering wife Annette Rogue, with numerous women over the course of their 17-year marriage. Even just a few weeks ago we told you about how Lauer chose to spend last summer holed up in his New York City apartment rather than out in the Hamptons with his wife and children. That was after NBC agreed to have a helicopter fly him to and from work each day so he could be close to his family all summer.It is Lauer's dicey history that is making many wonder if something did happen a few years ago with De Laurentiis.

  • All Ten Seasons of 'Friends' Now Available on Netflix

    New Year's Day is here, and what better way to spend it than binge-watching a favorite new show or, better yet, an old one? Fans of "Friends" are no doubt hunkering down for a marathon today because the popular sitcom staple of the 1990s has begun streaming on Netflix. Not only has the SVOD company acquired all 10 seasons, but it also has several lost episodes that have never been seen anywhere before.Apparently, near the end of the series's original run, scenes were filmed that featured Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) and Joey (Matt LeBlanc) actually giving romance a try. While producers eventually decided to keep them as platonic roommates, those alternate scenes exist and Netflix viewers will get to see them. It is not like the show has been completely under wraps since ending in 2004. It garnered an average 20 million viewers for each of the 10 years that it ran on NBC, meaning it has been golden in the land of syndication. TBS currently runs episodes nearly every day and so do several local affiliates across the country.

  • Amy Adams Still Doesn't Understand Why 'Today' Canceled Her Interview

    It may be several days since "Today" abruptly decided to cancel Amy Adams's interview, but the dust has yet to settle. The actress was scheduled to sit for an interview promoting her new Harvey Weinstein film "Big Eyes," but when she told staffers that she would rather not comment on the Sony hacking, her segment was canceled, leaving Adams baffled. Weinstein has demanded the network issue a formal apology to one of his favorite actresses, and his company has reportedly been locked in negotiations with NBC executives for days.As for Adams, she still does not understand what actually happened. At the Los Angeles premiere of her film, she told reporters she was actually prepared to do the interview when "Today" pulled the plug on it instead."I expressed that I was uncomfortable. I said I would rather not add my voice to this conversation. But it was clear they were drawing a hard line. That this would be part of the conversation. I walked away from the conversation and went up to the room to do the interview. I assumed they were going to ask me about [the Sony hacking]. And I was prepared for that, to whatever degree I was prepared. I was informed that they had decided to pull the interview. I was confused and definitely frustrated. I still don't understand," explained Adams.

  • Harvey Weinstein Is Pushing Hard for 'Today' to Apologize to Amy Adams for Abruptly Canceling Her Interview

    If NBC thought it could abruptly cancel Amy Adam's interview scheduled for "The Today Show" Monday, Dec. 22, and not have issues, it was not thinking clearly. Adams was scheduled to do an interview promoting her latest film, "Big Eyes," but when the actress told staffers she did not feel comfortable discussing the fallout from the Sony hacking scandal, she was told her segment had been shelved. Harvey Weinstein's company has produced "Big Eyes" and Adams is always in good standing with him, so he is out for a bit of blood.According to a source for Page Six, NBC's feeble attempts to smooth things over are not sitting well with Weinstein, who wants a formal apology to Adams at the least."Even though 'Today' host Matt Lauer tried to smooth things over after the drama with a call to Weinstein," the source added, "Weinstein wants a formal apology or at least an independent investigation into what happened by an independent authority like Rudy Giuliani."

  • Amy Adams Interview on 'Today' Canceled When She Refused to Discuss Sony Hack

    Amy Adams held her ground with NBC executives yesterday and it cost her a promotional interview on "Today." The show wanted to get her opinion on one of the hottest topics out there now — the hacking of Sony — and apparently Adams refused to comment publicly. Her name has been mentioned in some of the leaked emails that prove she and Jennifer Lawrence were paid considerably less than their male costars in "American Hustle." It was a topic Adams refused to touch, so "Today" decided to cancel her interview on the spot in spite of her being there to actually promote her new film "Big Eyes."What actually transpired in the green room depends on who you ask. Adams's team insists she carried herself with grace while NBC insiders are saying things got heated and her attitude did not win her any fans. According to "Us Weekly," it was just business as usual for the morning show.

  • Did 'Today's' Matt Lauer Recently Walk Out on His Wife and Kids?

    No other news reader seems to be dogged with rumors quite like "Today's" Matt Lauer. His 16-year marriage to Annette Roque has been plagued with rumors of Lauer's continued skirt-chasing and her instability. As it stands now, the couple are parents to three children and are rarely seen out in public together. In fact, there is speculation that Lauer and his wife split for a while this past summer after new allegations of an affair were made.According to a report by Radar Online, Roque and her children spent the summer in the Hamptons, and even though NBC gave Lauer access to a helicopter to get back into the city faster for work, he instead chose to reside in the couple's New York City apartment. At that same point in time, Lauer was allegedly spotted out and about with a woman who was not Roque. Supposedly, the couple took a short break and then Lauer begged to come home for the sake of their kids.Of course, sources close to the morning show anchor claim that his reasons for living alone in the city were completely work-related.

  • NBC Signs Brian Williams to New, Long-Term Deal to Continue Anchoring 'Nightly News'

    Head honchos at NBC News are breathing a bit easier after officially signing NBC's "Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams to a new, multi-year contract that is sure to keep him around the halls of 30 Rock for a long time to come. Williams first took over the anchor seat from the legendary Tom Brokaw in 2004 and has pretty much dominated the evening news race from Day 1. In recent months ABC's David Muir has begun to challenge him in the ratings race, but Williams seems to be taking the competition in stride.NBC News President Deborah Turness announced Williams's new deal in a memo, which read, "Brian is one of the most trusted journalists of our time. He has led this organization through every major news event for the last decade, from Hurricane Katrina in his first year in the anchor chair to his exclusive interview with Edward Snowden this year, through elections, wars, natural disasters, tragedies and triumphs. In all of those cases he's taken 'Nightly News's' viewers to the heart of the stories that matter most in a way that's uniquely his."
