I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

It appears that America’s Got Talent host, Terry Crews, has finally decided to make a statement about the ALLEGED racial and sexist goings on at the show; the ALLEGATIONS were that judge Gabrielle was fired from the show because her hairstyles were, ahem, “too black,” and because she complained about Jay Leno telling a joke about Koreans eating dogs.

And now Terry, after being called out by Gabrielle and others for saying nothing for months has burped up some rubbish about diversity on the show:

“That was never my experience on America’s Got Talent. In fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment. The top 10 acts were Asian, women, older, younger, Black, White. It was everything in the gamut … I can’t speak for sexism because I am not a woman, but I can speak on behalf of any racism comments.”

I guess Terry Crews forgot how Gabrielle Union came to his defense when people mocked him over his ALLEGATIONS of sexual assault; but Gabrielle remembers, and she’s dragging Crews because none of the ALLEGATIONS she made has ever been disputed by NBC:

“Why anyone would gleefully get up on TV and tell lies that NO ONE disputed [the story] … Can someone please ask [about] what happens to all that diversity folks are talking about BEHIND THE SCENES. Like ... where the hell is all that diversity in the production though … ? In the decision-making ranks who control the fate of the diversity in front of the camera? The policing, criticism, and all other forms of bullshit ass commentary about our hair... KEEP FIGHTING!!! They truly believe if you stay quiet, they've won. Don't be quiet. Do not let this stand.”

After getting called out as a liar, one might think Crews would close his mouth, but instead he spewed some real nonsense:

“I’m a hog.

You’re a chicken.

Just ‘cuz you gave me eggs—

Don’t mean I owe you bacon.”

- Ancient Flint Michigan proverb”

And when People were all WTF, Crews said he meant Gabrielle Union and every single woman who tries to educate him on facts over bull shiz. And, in doing so, Crews said his mom, sister, and daughters can also eff off because the only woman he has to please is his wife, who may, or may not be, a can of Red Bull:

“There is only one woman one earth I have to please. Her name is Rebecca. Not my mother, my sister, my daughters or co-workers. I will let their husbands/ boyfriends/ partners take care of them. Rebecca gives me WINGS.”

So, basically Terry Crews is saying that any woman who faces some kind of workplace discrimination or sexual harassment can just pound sand because he doesn’t care and it’s not his business.

In keeping up with his brand of krap, Mister Kim Kardastrophe, AKA Kanye Kardastrophe, says if a movie is ever made of his life, he wants a white guy to play him; and the white guy is Danny McBride.

Talk about Hollywood Whitewashing. I mean, according to The Root, Kanye and Danny had an actual conversation about this shiz and Danny says:

“Kanye asked me to play him in a movie of his life. That was a pretty stunning phone call to get. I don’t know why he wanted me to do it. Maybe that sense of ego I’m able to portray? I have no clue.”

I think Kanye meant Danny Glover instead of Danny McBride; or else, Kanye is just nuts.

It’s been three years since Michael Strahan, after taking the job as Kelly Ripa’s co-host, bounced from the show for greener—and by greener, I mean more coins—pastures at Good Morning America. Kelly was mad at the situation because neither ABC nor Michael told her he was leaving until a minute before the world found out. The world is angry because Kelly’s new co-host is Ryan Seacrest, that slice of talking White Bread.

Now, to be fair, both Kelly and Michael are doing just fine now, but in terms of liking one another, or being at peace with one another, yeah, that’s not happening. And Strahan seems to be the one stirring the pot, telling the New York Times:

“I didn’t wake up and say, ‘I want a job at GMA.’ I was asked to do it by the people who run the network. It was really not a choice. It was a request. But it was treated as if I was the guy who walked in and said, ‘I’m leaving.’ That part was totally misconstrued, mishandled in every way. People who should have handled it better have all apologized, but a lot of the damage had already been done. For me, it was like: Move on. Success is the best thing. Just keep on moving.”

Huh. Yeah, Michael, ABC is the Corleone Family of morning television and told you to bolt. You were offered the job, saw dollar signs, and packed your bags. And as proof, Strahan will now throw Kelly under the bus:

“One thing I tried to do is have a meeting every few weeks with her. We met a few times, and that was fine. But then eventually she said she didn’t need to meet. Can’t force somebody to do something they don’t want to do.”

Yeah, like you can’t force someone to honor their commitment and stay in the job they accepted a half minute earlier because there’s more coins at GMA.

It appears that College Admissions Scam artists Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli are selling their Bel Air mansion.

I wonder why? I mean, either they need to money to pay for lawyers, or they already see themselves living in another Big House.

Note to anyone planning on nominating Taylor Swift for any kind of award: if she’s not winning, she’s not coming.

And it must be true because Page Six says so. They say Swifty stayed away from this year’s Grammys because she wasn’t going to win anything. You see, Swifty don’t sit in the crowd without getting a statue.

Days before the Grammys, it was reported that Swift was going to perform The Man during the show but cancelled at the last minute over the controversy between the Recording Academy and their ex-CEO Deborah Dugan, who claims the awards are rigged. 

And Page Six is saying that in order to get Swifty there, she needed a guarantee that when the nominations were called, she’d be able to play she “aw, shucks, who me, gee whiz” face before taking to the stage for her award. Taylor, ALLEGEDLY, wanted to win Song of the Year award because, of her TEN Grammys, she doesn’t have that one yet. But since she couldn’t be guaranteed a win, Swifty strayed home and played with her cats.

However, Taylor’s people say these are lie:

“I am on the record: These statements by anonymous, unidentified ‘sources’ are absolutely 100 percent false and laughable. She just didn’t go to the Grammys. You guys need to calm down.”

See what they did there, though? They actually quoted a Swifty song in their statement. Makes me believe the story is true.

photo

Now, this might make Taylor happy, though there’s no statuette to go with it.

The Razzies are coming up and it’s a shoe in that Cats will be leading the pack, but … this week Cats was honored … honored … by PETA for not using actual cats in the film.

For the third year in a row, PETA has handed out their Oscat Awards to filmmakers and performers who showed “compassion” to animals and since Cats has no cats, they win!

I think this shows that PETA has no idea what’s best for animals. All Cats did was make actual cats look bad.

It's Snarkurday!

Dean McDermott could be in serious trouble; and I don’t mean just because he married Hot Mess Tori “I can’t pay my bills” Spelling.

McDermott narrowly avoided going to jail last March when his ex-wife, Mary Jo Eustace, agreed to allow him to pay overdue child support and alimony in small monthly installments.

Sounds civilized, right? Well, it would have been except for the fact that McDermott is very much his current wife’s husband in that he doesn’t pay his bills either. McDermott has missed multiple payments on their $1,500-a-month agreement and now Mary Jo is pissed off and taking him back to court where he might actually go to jail for being a deadbeat dad who can’t support the child he had with Eustace but keeps making babies—I think they’re up to five now—with Poor Little Rich Girl Spelling. And then, after skipping the payments, Spelling and McDermott took their kids on a luxurious vacation to the Four Seasons in Punta Mita, Mexico so no wonder Mary Jo is enraged.

An insider—and it’s probably Candy Spelling from inside her gift wrapping room in her penthouse mansion—says:

“It’s crazy that all this is over $1,500. He could get a job at the Gap and pay that off every month.”

Tori and Dean Work at The Gap ... coming soon to Bravo?

photo

Also pissed off ... ALLEGEDLY ... are the bigwigs at ABC when Michael Strahan, a Houston native and “Good Morning America” anchor, refused to cut his vacation short to return and cover the Hurricane Harvey disaster.

Apparently ABC News asked Strahan to come home from his vacation because he’s from Houston, but he refused and is ... ALLEGEDLY ... cruising the Mediterranean on a yacht.

However, Michael Corn, GMA senior executive producer says:

“I spoke with [Strahan] every day. Michael was very clear he wanted to be part of the coverage, and we decided the best plan was for him to lead the charge covering the recovery.”

But that started earlier this week and still no Strahan. Huh? What?

It makes matters worse when you realize Strahan’s colleague, and GMA veteran, Robin Roberts returned early from her vacation to cover the tragedy; and she did so voluntarily. But then Michael Strahan, for all his years as a professional football player, may not be a team player like Roberts.

Still, Strahan put down a mojito long enough to Tweet:

“To my hometown of Houston and everyone there ... I Love You and am praying for your safety. ­H-TOWN LOVE!”

That counts for ... oh yeah, nothing. It’s like a _____ million dollar donation ... meaningless.

It looks like Madonna’s newest younger lover has something she really really wants and she’s moving to Portugal to make sure she keeps gettin’ it.

Her latest boy-toy Portuguese model  Kevin Sampaio—he’s 31 to her 59, and that’s okay—must be packing something because Madge up and moved herself and the kids to Lisbon. Now, she’s saying that when she ended her last tour there she fell in love with the place but clearly she fell in love with what Sampaio has to offer, though she says:

“The energy of Portugal is so inspiring. I feel very creative and alive here and I look forward to working on my film LOVED and making New Music!!! This will be the next Chapter in My Book! It’s time to conquer the world from a different vantage point!!”

Conquer the world, or conquer Kevin’s pants? I know what I’d do ...

PS The hands don’t lie about age.

I loathe Taylor swift for her inability to sing live and in tune, and for her songwriting skills of dogging frenemies and ex-lovers.

But what I loathe most is how she gets her fans to create all sorts of Swifty-inspired goodies, but then also tries to trademark her songs and lyrics so that if you use those, she can sue you.

Case in point: TayTay has recently filed to trademark lyrics and catchphrases from her upcoming album Reputation to use on shirts, guitar picks, and other crap she’ll sell at her concerts for gobs of cash. She hopes to trademark phrases like “The old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now” and “Look What You Made Me Do.” 

This is nothing new, though, because Swifty tried to trademark an actual year—1989—when her 1989 album came out, and since she’s just released a new song called “Ready For It” then y’all better be ready for her lawyers to come a’sniffing after you if you use that line. And, if you’re some pre-teen fangirl of Swifty and you wanna make a macaroni picture of her, don’t dare use any song lyrics because she’ll come after you faster than you can say auto-tone.

photo

In more Taylor news, the girl knows how to market herself because, in the past, she’s tied her albums and concerts in with Diet Coke, CoverGirl, Elizabeth Arden, Apple, Keds and, now, UPS. UPS? I guess in case people realize what a hack she is and try to return the music they just bought and then she’ll get a cut?

On top of that Swifty has a new commercial for AT&T where she’s all cool and fun and promoting the idea of you buying into her Taylor Swift NOW video catalog on ... AT&T.

Ick; especially when you hear her say, in the ad, that this is her ‘gift’ to the fans for being so supportive ... if, you know, the fans have a credit card or cash to buy their gift from TayTay.

Mel B is probably tired of the fact that we all know her business now that she and her husband have each filed for divorce, and the stories of their marriage become more lurid.

New legal documents have been recently filed by Mel B, which include portions of a deposition given by Loraine Gilles, AKA the Nanny named in Mel and her husband’s threesome adventures. And not only do the new papers confirm some of the more sordid detail but they also reveal new accusations of the sham of a marriage that Lorraine and Stephen Belafonte ALLEGEDLY concocted in order to fleece Mel B’s bank account.

Mel is accusing Stephen and Lorraine of plotting a phony marriage for Lorraine to one Michael Bleau so that she wouldn’t be deported; Lorraine is from Germany. See, if Lorraine was married to an American, she could stay here and keep on banging her boss’s husband, Stephen, behind Mel B’s back.

And poor schlemiel Michael is now being outed in the court papers as an epic sleazeball who was once arrested for a sex crime and convicted of felony false imprisonment. Mel B’s evidence that the marriage was a sham is that Bleau bought Lorraine’s ring on Ebay for $30 and that the “couple” never posted any engagement pictures to their social media.  Wait, so he’s cheap and isn’t on Facebook so the marriage is a sham? Stand in line when the rest of the fakers then.

Also in her deposition, Lorraine admitted to having sex with Belafonte—without Mel B—about “10 to 15 times.” This was during the time she says she got pregnant by a one-night stand and had Mel B pay for her abortion; Mel is now claiming the bay was Stephen’s, hence the need for the abortion. Lorraine also admitted to using cocaine, which could get her deported, and claims that Mel was her supplier.

Gosh, threesomes, drug dealers, abortions, sham marriages. If it doesn’t make y’all want to get a Silkwood Scrubdown, it may make you wanna write a book and sell it to Hollywood because this kind of story puts butts in seats in theaters nationwide.

So there are two magazines, Harper’s Magazine and Harper’s Bazaar. They are not the same magazine, but someone still needs to tell that to Tiffany _____.

With New York Fashion Week starting, fashionistas from everywhere will be in La Grande Apple and Harper’s Bazaar is doing a big “Bazaar Icons” party in the middle of it all. And so Tiffany _____’s publicist emailed a party invitation request … to Harper’s Magazine, who were all, “What? Fashion? Who? What?”

Proving she’s not the sharpest tool in the _____ shed, but still brighter than Dim Bulb Eric, Tiffany’s publicists emailed Harper’s Magazine—which calls itself “the oldest general-interest monthly in America, exploring the issues that drive our national conversation, through long-form narrative journalism”—instead of Harper’s Bazaar—the one that defines itself as “America’s first fashion magazine.”

Even funnier is that the publicist’s email read like this:

“Hi, I wanted to email on behalf of the First Daughter Tiffany Trump. She is in town for NYFW and attending a few events. She would love to possibly attend the Bazaar Icons party. Please let me know if this could be accommodated.”

First Daughter? Oh, hell no, dear ... she's scarcely second daughter. And the magazine you contacted would love to invite you to their big New York Fashion Week event when and if they ever have one.

Now, sit down, you’re almost done here.

Cuba Gooding Jr. has hit New York Fashion Week with full force—and did not see Tiffany anywhere because she went to New York City, Indiana by mistake—and he crashed makeup guru Pat McGrath’s Mothership Ball with a plus-one who scored him drinks and women.

Spies—not Tiffany because she was stuck in one of the square states looking for someone named "Ann Winter"—say Gooding was at the party introducing himself as “Dick McWilly” and rocking a man bun to boot.

Gooding stood on a chair in a corner to see all the action while his friend, described as a “perky young man,” kept an eye out for eligible ladies. The party aide also made sure Cuba was generously lubricated with alcohol while he pulled girls in to meet the, ahem, star. A spy says the young man “was bringing girls over to meet Cuba” who would bend down to speak while still standing on his chair but then signal that it was a “pass.”

Lucky for the girls, I’d say, because it was just last week that Gooding joined five bikini-clad beauties in a hot tub at a Nolita spa.

A hot tub of STDs? Um, no.

I love Cher on Twitter simply because she’s Cher, bitches.

Case in point: Cher recently took to Twitter to vent about _____’s decision to end DACA, AKA the Dreamer program. And so Cher, who doesn’t feel it’s fair to deport 800,000 people who were brought to this country as children, who have lived and worked here most of their lives, began tweeting about DACA a lot this week. This was one tweet she sent out:

And while it may not come to the idea of hiding Dreamers from a vicious racist government, one tweeter named Brenda Webb—whose account has since gone private—and whose online profile reads “Single Mom, Believer in Jesus, Positive person, Politics annoy me-Just can’t help it!!” decided to come for Cher with this Tweet:

“Sure you will Cher.. I’ll believe it when I see it!” 

This is what Cher tweeted back:

And that’s why I love Cher ... bitches.

It's Snarkurday!

I loves me some RuPaul’s Drag Race; drag is an art form and the men, and women, who do it, are amazing. So, yeah, I’ve been watching forever and was surprised when the show left Logo this year for VH1; but it must have been a good move because viewership is way up.

What isn’t good about the new season: Wendy Williams. See, in addition to airing the show, VH1 has added Fierce Fridays, a live Drag Race viewing party with host Wendy Williams and frequent Drag Race judge Ross Matthews, but not everyone is happy about that.

This week, former Drag queen Detox Instagrammed a Facebook post by drag performer Stephanie Stone who, like me, is none too happy about Williams having anything to do with drag, with gay people, with the LGBTQ community. Stone reminded Drag Race fans that in 2009, on an episode of The Wendy Williams Show, audience member and drag performer Erick Atoure Aviance was threatened with expulsion from the crowd if she attempted to appear on-camera or draw attention to herself while wearing a dress and high heels. [The show issued an apology after the incident became news.]:

“All I remember is when Wendy Williams had Erick Atoure Aviance removed from her studio audience for being in drag … now she’s doing the pre-show for drag race, when are folks gonna realize not everyone’s your ‘friend of the community.’”

I used to find Williams funny and quirky and enjoyed her show every so often, but then she began appearing a little transphobic during Bruce Jenner’s transition to Caitlyn. She often used the name ‘Bruce’ and the pronoun ‘him’ when talking about Jenner, even long after anyone with a brain knew better. And that’s offensive, plain and simple.

When a person transitions, you call them by the name they prefer and use the gender pronouns with which they identify, and if you don’t, as Williams did more than once—which is why I stopped watching and wrote to tell her so—you are an ass.

Anyhoo, since Stone’s remarks, other Drag Race stars have started to complain about Williams being a part of the franchise. Alaska Thunderfuck also took issue with William’s treatment of Caitlyn Jenner during her transition:

“Frankly, I think the decision to make Wendy Williams one of the hosts of the weekly spots framing commercial breaks for RuPaul’s Drag Race’s weekly broadcast is tone deaf, untimely and incorrect. I used to watch Wendy’s Hot Topics daily, and some of the things she said during Caitlyn Jenner’s very public transition were beyond questionable. At that time, much of the nation was learning to navigate trans visibility for the first time and needed guidance and clarity from the media. But instead Wendy repeatedly spouted ignorance and transphobic rhetoric to a daily audience of millions. I don’t watch her show anymore. And I certainly don’t think she is the right person to be hosting our community’s flagship television program.”

Word. And so maybe y’all who watch should let Ru and VH1 know that Williams is no friend of the LGBTQ community and we know so because she says so.

So, earlier this month, Blac Chyna and Rob Kardastrophe found themselves in the middle of an ugly custody battle over their daughter Kream Dream.

But now Chyna has taken aim at another old beau, and Baby Daddy, Rob’s half-sister’s boyfriend, Tyga, claiming that Tyga doesn’t pay child support—no surprise, since he’s being sued for not paying his rent and every car he “buys” gets repo’d. But maybe Chyna should have thought twice about opening this second can of words because it looks like Rob and Tyga are teaming up to take her down—ordered to do so, no doubt, by That Woman.

Sources—and it’s clearly Khloe—say Tyga and Rob became close after Rob and Chyna imploded, and now Chyna says the two Baby Daddies are ganging up and spreading lies about her ... like the one from Tyga where he says she wants him back.

Chyna says the only reason she speaks to Tyga is to ask for more coins for their son and that when she called him to ask about nannies and salaries he obviously thought she was asking for a hook-up.

Look, here’s the deal ... that family is a clusterfuck that hooks up with clusterfucks—Lamar, Scott, Kanye, Tyga, Blac Chyna—to keep themselves in the news and on TV, whether it’s Chyna and Rob, or Chyna and Tyga, or Chyna and Kylie and Rob and Tyga.

That’s their game and they are masters at it.

Janet Hubert played Aunt Viv on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air from 1990 to 1993 until being replaced by Daphne Reid for the show’s last three seasons. Back in 2009, Hubert aired her laundry saying she’d been replaced because she overshadowed Will Smith and refused to suck up to him or take a pay cut.

I tend to believe that, and the fact that Hubert cannot move on ... I mean, it’s been over twenty years, girl, switch to a new story.

Anyway, recently there was a Fresh Prince of Bel Air cast reunion at an event for Karyn [Hillary] Parson’s charity, Sweet Blackberry and everyone was there except for James [Uncle Phil] Avery who passed in 2013, and Janet Hubert. And when Alfonso [Carlton] Ribeiro posted a photo of the castmembers together with a message about James Avery, Hubert was livid and, as celebrities who are over tend to do, took it to Facebook:

“I know the media hoe Alphonso Ribero [sic] has posted his so called reunion photo. Folks keep telling me about it. He was always the ass wipe for Will. There will never be a true reunion of the Fresh Prince. I have no interest in seeing any of these people on that kind of level. I am not offended in the least, by this photo… it was an event for Karen’s [sic] charity. It does however prompt me to take some meetings in Hollywood to pitch my memoir PERFECTION IS NOT A SITCOM MOM, and tell of the behind the scenes story before I leave this earth.”

Honey, please, you need to channel your anger into a new direction say towards learning how to spell the names correctly of the people you used to work with and are now dogging on social media.

Failing that, please keep quiet.

[Janet Hubert, Cast] 

Gwyneth Paltrow took to her lifestyle blog to tell women what they should do if they want to enjoy anal sex and my first thought was “WTF does GOOP know about anal sex?”

Then I remembered ... she's a tight ass.

Last week, George Lopez was scheduled to appear on “The View” and “Late Night With Seth Meyers” to talk his new TV show but apparently cancelled both appearances. His team says he’s “taking a break from traveling after being on the road. He injured his knee and he didn’t go to New York because of his health, but he’s fine.”

But is there truth to the rumor that Lopez canceled “The View” to avoid addressing a lewd comment he’d made to one of his fans on social media regarding Ivanka Trump?

After posting a photo of two dogs mating to Instagram, a fan asked Lopez when they were going to "pimp Ivanka because backpage is calling her name right now."

Lopez said, "She's ready!"

Not very nice and it makes one wonder if he cancelled The View so he wouldn’t be forced to explain his rude comment to a table filled with women.

Cuba Gooding Jr. experienced the TwitterRage last weekend after a photo surfaced of him lifting up the dress of “American Horror Story: Roanoke” co-star Sarah Paulson at LA’s PaleyFest.

As Kathy Bates was being introduced, Paulson greeted the actress and then Gooding grabbed her sheath from behind; Paulson initially shrieked but then seemed to shrug it off.

Social media wasn’t so kind ...

“@cubagoodingjr hi, dude. did you apologize to Sarah? you should if you didn’t bc what you did was Gross and Disrespectful.”

“FYI the reason @MsSarahPaulson is smiling is bc @MsKathyBates, then screams out of shock at the disrespectful actions of @cubagoodingjr.”

“Um… so is @cubagoodingjr allowed to get away with lifting @MsSarahPaulson skirt at @paleycenter? Total disrespect to a woman.”

This is not new for Gooding Jr. His erratic behavior has raised eyebrows before, like when he gave an expletive-filled speech at the Footwear News Achievement Awards in December, while presenting an award to designer pal John Varvatos. Or when he drunkenly hits on strange women in bars.

Methinks Cuba needs to lay off the sauce and stay away from women. Or become besties with George Lopez?

Luckily for Full House Fuller House’s Jodie Sweetin that she found out, now ex, fiancé Justin Hodak is kind of a douche before making him her fourth husband.

Last week, Jodie’s rep confirmed that she and Hodak were done after being together for over three years, though the rep failed to elaborate. But maybe it’s because he was arrested three times in nine days ... ?

Arrest #1 – On March 18, Jodie called police after Justin showed up to her house and threatened to kill himself. When cops arrived they found Justin—a convicted felon who cannot possess a firearm—had a gun. He was arrested and Jodie got an emergency protective order against him.

Arrest #2 – On March 24, Justin went back to Jodie’s house and was arrested for violating the order.

Arrest #3 – On March 27, Justin was arrested a third time for violating the order again by driving past Jodie’s house.

And so now Jodie is talking, saying that Justin has thrown stuff at her during fights, fought with security guards at the studio where Fuller House shoots and even showed up to her children’s school. She also claims Justin “abuses” weed and booze, and recently started doing roids, which elevates his anger to new levels of scary.

Three years in and you just found this out. Jodie? Maybe after three marriages you should be single and celibate for a while.

Sad news ... in 2012, Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman, one of Hollywood’s more endearing long-term couples, announced they were separating after 30 years of marriage. But then a few months later they called it off and all seemed right with the world until this week ...

Danny and Rhea are separated again, and though they might never get together again, he says they are still great friends:

“Oh, absolutely, we’re really close. Well, we’ve been friends for 40-something years. We love each other.”

He did not go into details about what lead to the split, though the 2012 split may have been due to Danny’s wandering penis.

And that’s an image I’ll be trying to Silkwood Scrub from my brain for the rest of the day.

Remember when Michael Strahan left Kelly and Michael for GMA and everyone assumed it was because Kelly was a diva?

Maybe not so much, because now folks are saying Strahan is “ruffling feathers” at GMA and the other hosts are tired of him receiving preferential treatment:

“They roll out the carpet for [Strahan] while seasoned talent is treated like dirt. He’s been given a lot of opportunity, flexibility, when the others who have been working there longer don’t get that kind of treatment.”

Strahan signed a special deal that allows him to continue to analyze football at “Fox NFL Sunday” and host ABC’s “$100,000 Pyramid” though he was forced to drop most of his lucrative endorsement deals when he joined the show.

And now Pop News Minion, Lara Spencer ALLEGEDLY feels like her role has been minimized to make room for Mike, who is now doing a lot of what Lara used to do on the show while she does some garage sale show on HGTV.

And now it looks like pint-sized cutie George Stephanopoulos is also over Mike because he’s “bored with the fluff. He goes into work, does the show and leaves by 8:57 a.m. He doesn’t interact. He’s been phoning it in for quite some time.”

An ABC News exec says Spencer has fully welcomed Strahan into the fold and that “they get along great.” He also says Lara gets a bigger shot in the after 8AM segment and so there is no rift.

An ABC rep also added:

“We’ve tripled our lead over the ‘Today’ show [in total viewers]. The show has never been better.”

And since it’s all about ratings and ratings are dollars, don’t expect big changes, or a Strahan-free GMA anytime soon.
