Don Lemon Fired Tucker Carlson

DON LEMON SAW IT COMING- JUST NOT SO SOON

It’s NOT a coincidence that cable news anchors Don Lemon and Tucker Carlson were fired on the same day. We heard some rumblings about Don a few months ago, but decided it wasn’t juicy enough to write about. Now we think it’s time to share. CNN’s Don Lemon was suddenly let go today, but a network insider told us that Don KNEW his days were numbered and has been trying to work out a severance package. CNN abruptly pulled the plug TODAY because another news host, FOX’s Tucker Carlson, was let go. Minutes after Tucker was booted from Fox, executives at CNN had an emergency meeting and decided to let Don go today, hoping both firings would share the news cycle and the spotlight wouldn’t be completely on CNN.

Amy Robach Exclusive Fired Fox Good Morning America TJ Holmes

YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE LAST OF AMY AND TJ

They’re OUT at Good Morning America, but don’t be too surprised if former co-anchors turned lovers, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes wind up on FOX with their own morning show! According to an insider, powers that be at FOX feel the duo would bring in huge ratings and attract an audience that doesn’t usually watch the conservative skewing network. The ink isn’t even dry on their termination agreement, but the insider says Amy and T.J. demanded there wasn’t a non-compete clause in the walk-away contract. The folks at FOX reason much of America is sick of the woke culture and that two consenting adults shouldn’t lose their careers over a workplace romance. “Amy and T.J. could be the dream team for FOX,” the insider says. “They’re an intelligent, attractive, interracial couple who are the poster children against woke extremism.”

Brad Pitt Courtney Love Fight Club Fired Kurt Cobain Machine Gun Kelly

COURTNEY LOVE SAYS NO TO BRAD, YES TO MACHINE GUN KELLY

Courtney Love made headlines by griping that Brad Pitt got her fired from the movie Fight Club because she wouldn’t allow Brad to do a movie about her ex-husband Kurt Cobain. Years ago it was rumored that Brad wanted to play Kurt in a biopic, but without Courtney’s approval, the project never happened. What Courtney ISN’T saying is that she is still interested in doing a movie on Kurt, but wants Machine Gun Kelly to star! The idea is still in the early stages of development but Courtney feels if a movie can get made within the next year or two, MGK is perfect for the part.

BBC Fired Homophobic Ozzy Osbourne Racist Reality Shows Sharon Osbourne The Osbournes The Talk

FORGET GUNS, THE REAL REASON THE OSBOURNES ARE MOVING BACK HOME TO THE UK

We’ve been WAITING for the truth to come out about WHY the Osbournes are moving from LA back to the UK. At first, Ozzy claimed they were moving because California’s taxes were too high. After some coaching from Sharon, he decided the family was leaving because of “gun violence” in the USA. The TRUTH is, Sharon has been miffed since she was fired from The Talk after an investigation about her racist and homophobic language. Nobody would hire her. She LIKES being on TV a LOT, and made a deal with the BBC to film another Osbourne reality show back home in the UK – similar the successful show they had here in the early 2000’s. Ozzy is going along for the ride – filming of their moving preparations is already in the works. It might be hard on Ozzy, considering his health problems, but Sharon GOT what she wanted!

Fired House Of Cards Kevin Spacey Lawsuit Sexual Harassment Sexual Misconduct Sexual Predator

KEVIN SPACEY THOUGHT HE COULD DO NO WRONG

Hollywood has a solid history of tolerating workplace sexual harassment and enabling important predators, so any change for the better is delightful. As star and executive Producer, Kevin Spacey no doubt figured he could get away with that behavior on the House of Cards set because none of the young male crew members he preyed upon wanted to go on the record -for fear of being blackballed. Finally, ONE brave guy talked and the resulting investigation got Spacey fired and taken to court by the MRC entertainment company. Spacey was sued for revenue lost after he left the show and attorney fees, and he just LOST and the judge says he has to pay almost 31 million dollars to MRC! Hopefully this will motivate egotistical actors and executives to control themselves…

Anti-vax Fired General Hospital Steve Burton

DUMBEST GUY OF THE WEEK

A tunnel collapsed on actor Steve Burton’s character on General Hospital this week- and for a good reason. Steve has appeared on the show as Jason Morgan since 1991 (!) and the show refused to accept his religious and medical excuses for not being vaccinated, so they FIRED him, and killed off his character. Burton attempted to make his departure seem HEROIC by saying “I fight for medical freedom!” He also believes “when one door closes, multiple doors open.” In reality, he’s going to have an IMPOSSIBLY hard time getting acting jobs without vaccination…in fact, we can already hear those “doors” slamming!

Boyfriend Fired Mischa Barton The Hills

MISCHA BARTON: HER OWN WORST ENEMY?

Apparently Mischa Barton, 34, was the LAST to know when she was fired from the second season of The Hills: New Beginnings. When the rumor leaked out that Mischa would not be returning to the series, she vehemently denied it, and was embarrassed when it turned out to be TRUE. (Her character’s story line was described as too boring) Around that time she broke up with her boyfriend of 3 years, Australian model James Abercrombie, claiming she “needed to concentrate on her career.” Weeks later she had a NEW boyfriend, photographer Gian Marco Flamini, above. Along came Covid and at least she had someone to isolate with. So much for focusing on her career. Mischa has always had more luck getting boyfriends than acting jobs.

Can You Ever Forgive Me? Confession Fired Julianne Moore Nose

JULIANNE MOORE’S NOSE WASN’T BIG ENOUGH FOR STARRING ROLE

Last week we were delighted by Julianne Moore’s honesty in admitting she was FIRED from the Oscar nominated Melissa McCarthy role in Can You Ever Forgive Me? Few actors would have put egos aside and been that honest! This confession transpired in an interview with Andy Cohen. Andy did NOT, however, pursue the exact reason when Julianne admitted “creative differences”. The Hollywood Reporter DID dig around and learned that the biggest creative difference was the fact that Julianne wanted to wear a prosthetic NOSE to more closely resemble the real-life character! The director felt a fake nose would be too distracting, and we agree.

Fired Roseanne

HAS ROSEANNE LEARNED A LESSON?

When it comes to putting her foot in her mouth – probably not. But she’s learned the hard way how much her selfindulgent tweets can hurt just about everyone she knows. All those people out of work overnight because of HER! We would have been happier if ABC had paused to think about it, and simply fired Roseanne and put the show on hold while they brainstorm a way to keep it going. This INSTANT COMDEMNATION is getting out of hand. Meanwhile, Roseanne is hiding out at her parents house in Salt Lake City and a paparazzi caught her on the phone crying.

Apology Donald Trump Fired Kathy Griffin

DOES KATHY GRIFFIN REALLY DESERVE TO BE FIRED?

Okay, Kathy Griffin made a huge mistake – but this horrible Trump photo was no worse than people get away with on Facebook nearly every day. Comedians often push the envelope way too far and they are admonished- but they’re not punished to such an extent! Nothing bad happened when Kathy insulted Jesus – and she IS in the habit of dishing celebrities. CNN came out with a holier than thou attitude announcing that Kathy was fired from her New Year’s Eve show. Her other endorsement deals followed suit, seeming to ENJOY the publicity. Does the punishment really fit the “crime?” When Kathy apologized immediately, she was criticized for doing it for fear of losing money. Imagine what would happen if she stuck to her guns! Andrew Dice Clay must be laughing his head off.
