It's Snarkurday!

Olivia de Havilland is turned 101 last weekend and is still up for a feud, just not Ryan Murphy’s Feud: Bette & Joan.

That series was the story of the infamous Bette Davis and Joan Crawford feud that came to a boil when they did Whatever Happened to Baby Jane together and featured a series Hollywood stars giving fictional interviews about Bette and Joan at a 1970s Oscar ceremony.

Olivia de Havilland was played by Catherine Zeta-Jones as a class act—even whilst referring to her own legendary feud with her “bitch sister,” actress Joan Fontaine—and even though CZJ’s portrayal was positive, er, bland, De Havilland is not a happy lady.

De Havilland filed suit in LA this week saying that Murphy’s FX drama Feud portrayed her as a Hollywood gossip, something De Havilland claims she’s gone out of her way to avoid during her long career. And she is especially miffed that her “likeness” was included in the series without her consent and so she’s suing Ryan Murphy Productions and FX for invasion of privacy, unjust enrichment and infringement of common law right of publicity:

“Miss de Havilland was not asked by FX for permission to use her name and identity and was not compensated for such use. Further, the FX series puts words in the mouth of Miss de Havilland which are inaccurate and contrary to the reputation she has built over an 80-year professional life, specifically refusing to engage in gossip mongering about other actors in order to generate media attention for herself.”

Olivia, who lives in Paris these days, sent a letter to The Hollywood Reporter back in April explaining that she’d never seen the show and had no intention of ever watching it, though she’s clearly changed her mind about that ... hence the lawsuit.

And the request for a large stack of coins as a result.

I cannot wait for Feud: Olivia & Ryan.

Robert Downey Jr. has been playing Iron Man for nearly ten years across eight movies including the new Spider-Man: Homecoming; he’ll also appear in two more Avenger movies, but maybe RDJr is looking to end the run ...

“I just want to hang up my jersey before it’s embarrassing.”

Um, to be fair, these superhero films aren’t my cup of tea and I haven’t seen one since the first Iron Man came out, but ten films?

G’head and turn in the jersey RDJr. I mean you’re zeroing in on sixty and that’s gotta be tough on brittle bones.

Oh, how embarrassing it is to be Mariah Carey.

No, it’s not because of that hilariously disastrous New Years Eve performance; and, no, it’s not because she went from a billionaire boyfriend to a back-up dancer boy-toy. It’s because Mimi went out shopping on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and her credit cards were dee-nied.

Cue eight-octave Whaaaaaaaaaat?

It first happened at Louis Vuitton and she thought it was a mistake, but then it happened three more times.

“Sorry ma’am, but I need to cut up that card.”

Luckily, between her assistant, her manager, her dog carrier, her make-up and hair team, her shoe guy and the team of bodyguards that carry her when she gets tired, Mimi was finally able to make her purchases.

But it may only get worse; it appears that Mariah’s upcoming concert tour with Lionel Richie is experiencing low sales and cancellations, along with most dates being postponed since Richie injured his knee.

Looks like it’ll be a long hot, credit-card-less Summer, unless she gets that palimony case with former fiancé James Packer settled for the .... wait for it ... fifty million bucks she’s requesting.

Lindsay Lohan took a break from Instagram and Snapchat to focus on her Twitter account where she begged people to leave Donald _____ alone ...a la Chris Crocker demanding the same of us years back about Britney.

Earlier this year, she proved her life is still a mess when she asked that “everyone” support _____ for the good of the country, and now she’s back on the bandwagon, perhaps looking for a cabinet position to fill?

In the Department of High Class Call Girls? I kid ... high class? Uh, no.

But, perhaps Lindsay finally remembered that our President-For-Now told Howard Stern that girls like a Lindsay Lohan are a good fuck.

High praise from one narcissistic tool to another, eh?

Well, it looks like it was all for show that Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna were trying to work things out because the shiz hit the social media this weekend.

On Instagram, Rob accused Chyna of cheating, scamming, and lying about how she lost the baby weight after she had their daughter Kream Dream.

Rob says he was contacted by a woman who had a child with a rapper named Ferrari and now says Ferrari and Chyna have been doing the nasty ... seriously, it’s got to be nasty ... for months now; and this was while Rob and Chyna were rekindling their Made-For-TV relationship.

So, Rob confronted Ferrari and Chyna, and they denied it but then Ferrari posted a picture of himself in what Rob claims is his bathrobe while lying on Chyna’s bed. Then he went through Chyna’s phone and found more evidence Chyna and Ferrari were schtupping one another and began posting all the nekkid pictures Chyna has sent him over the years ... I’m thinking it numbers in the millions.

Oh how that must have kept Rob busy; I mean, he hasn’t put this much work into anything since That Woman told him to get his sock business off her dining table.

And while his mom and sisters are busy doing anything but taking their brother’s side in his latest feud with his Baby Mama, and again, the woman who is the Baby Mama of his half-sister’s ex-boyfriend, one person did step up:

Rapper T.I. left a comment for Rob on one of his many posts suggesting he keep this private instead of dragging it through the InstagraMud, and so Rob accused T.I. of having a threesome with Chyna and Tiny.

Rob also took it to a subbasement of shame by saying Chyna only got with him because she was mad that Rob’s “little sister took her baby daddy.”

At that point, That Woman squeeed with delight that the Jenner name was dragged into this mess.

Cuz that’s all that matters, you know, not the babies, or the adults acting like children.

And last of all, because it’s both true and high-larious ...

Annie Lennox has won eight Brit Awards, four Grammys, a Golden Globe, an Oscar and spent decades spent topping music charts and touring around the world and back again, yet just recently an Los Angeles radio station sent her a letter inviting Lennox to send in her latest MP3 single and they’d help her out with her career.

Seriously. Lennox shared the message on social media, but blacked out the station’s name, yet that didn’t stop her fans from commenting on the post speculating which LA-based radio station has a program director named Glenn and a new music coordinator named Kylie. The post racked up more than 2,000 comments just hours after she shared it on Facebook.

Lennox got the last laugh, saying:

“I think I’m in with a chance ??!!!”

Just sayin’ ... Annie Freaking Lennox.

It's Snarkurday!

A few weeks back, I posted about Mariah Carey’s diva behavior during her cameo role in the new Will Ferrell-Amy Poehler film The House, and now Cedric Yarbrough is spilling the tea about Carey:

“Yeah, a real funny cameo was SUPPOSED to happen in the new film #TheHouse with the superstar Mariah Carey. But it was ruined by superstar Mariah Carey. The film takes place in a suburban home but is made into a ‘Casino’. Why not have Mariah be an act in the casino? Funny idea. It’s rumored that she eventually showed up to set [four hours late]. ... While we waited the director & team had the idea of doing a stunt that Mariah’s body double would do now & bring in Mariah to match it. They do the stunt. All goes well. When Mariah finally showed up she refused to match the stunt. ‘Darling, I would never do it that way…’. I heard her say those exact words. She then requested a large fan for her hair to be blown around and a camera that would be above her, basically a crane shot. This lady was unprofessional & borderline abusive to our director, who tried his best to appease her every wish. ... This kind of behavior just isn’t cool. For you young actors, be on time, know your homework, but be courteous and respectful. ... I miss ‘Vision of Love’ Mariah. Be a damn professional.”

Luckily, I’m guessing, Mariah’s cameo has been cut from the film.

Courteney Cox was so into cosmetic surgery and “treatments” that for quite a few years she’s looked like Cher doing an impression of Jack Nicholson as The Joker.

Now, in New Beauty magazine Cox says she regrets turning her face into a swamp for fillers and Botox. She says she has taken her face back to natural and so she looks much more like Courteney Cox ... circa 1984.

Just sayin’.

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardastrophe wanted to be famous so they made a baby and turned their love mess into a reality show. But that got old; so they Reality-Show-Broke-Up and that became the show. Then that fizzled so their turned it into a Reality-Show-Custody-Battle over their 7-month-old daughter Kream Dream. That fizzled, too, so now they’re, ahem :::cough, cough::: Reality-Show-Back-Together and they let everyone ... the media ... know by filming a staged family date, on Father’s Day no less, at Disneyland.

How a Kardastrophe doesn’t spontaneously combust at Disneyland should be a show.

Cameron Douglas, Michael Douglas’s son with ex-wife, Diandra, is a mess.

He spent time in federal prison for trafficking meth, and then stayed for a longer time in the Big House because he continually tested positive for drugs while in jail. And he was also jailed for trying to sell meth to an undercover agent.

Yeah, a mess. So I guess it’s no surprise to hear that Cameron failed another drug test while on probation—after he was caught trying to cheat on it. According to court documents Cameron had marijuana in his system during a random drug screening in April and at a May probation hearing, officers told the judge that a lab tech accused Cameron of “attempting to manipulate the results” of his drug test by submitting “something that was not his urine.”

Three tests were given and the third came back positive for marijuana.

But, here’s the rich white son of an actor privilege, probation officers asked the judge to be lenient toward Cameron because “relapse is part of the recovery process.”

Um, let’s see; sells meth, goes to jail; in jail he tests positive for drugs; out of jail he tries to sell meth to a cop; back in jail he’s still doing drugs; released from jail, he tests positive again.

Think about Cameron Douglas being a young Black man from somewhere, whose parents aren’t rich and famous. Would he get as many chances or would he be serving life by now.

Uh huh.

Remember Hanson? Me neither. But I read this week that they were little pop stars a few years back and then kinda vanished because, well, Hanson.

Now, they’ve resurfaced and are coming for Justin Bieber.

Hanson, who are touring—apparently performing in Cracker Barrels around the US of A—recently went Down Under to appear in the Aussie version of a Cracker Barrel—the ‘Roo Shack? I dunno—and took part in a radio show game of Whose Song Is It Anyway? And when the Despacito remix—with Bieber singing[?] on it—was played, Hanson had no idea who it was and when they were told it was Bieber, Little Zac Hanson said:

“I prefer not to get any venereal diseases, so whenever Justin Bieber gets sort of near me or near my ears… it’s just ear infections, they’re terrible.”

His brother Isaac then chimed in:

“Chlamydia of the ear, it sucks.”

Well, not really, because one gets Chlamydia from sex, which is fun ... until you learn you have Chlamydia ... and listening to Bieber is anything but fun.

Get it straight, Hanson.

Miles Teller is an actor who was in ... oh, I don’t really care ... but I do know he was arrested last weekend after literally falling down drunk and refusing to cooperate with police.

Law enforcement sources say Teller was partying with friends in San Diego when an officer noticed he was having trouble standing; the officer walked up to Teller and started questioning him, but he quickly became uncooperative.

Then Teller lost his balance and nearly fell into the street so the officer cuffed him, and was going to take him to a detox center—where police take someone who is drunk so they can sleep it off—but Teller refused to go. At that point Teller could have been arrested, but ... white actor privilege ... police still took him to the detox center, where he was still uncooperative and the staff kicked him out.

So, Miles Teller was arrested for being drunk in public and spent Lindsay Lohan Time—about four hours—in jail but he decided to spin it like this ... via Twitter, of course:

“Went down to SD to see my buddy before he deployed. I wasn't arrested I was detained bc there was no evidence to charge me with a crime.”

Um, you were arrested, honey; perhaps you were too drunk to remember.

“Don't believe everything you read, especially from a third party entertainment news source trying to get clicks. Appreciate the concern.”

No concern. You’re just an entitled little drunk-ass actor who was in that movie ... oh, who cares.

A few weeks back word broke that a movie about Madonna’s life would be made and she went Madonna-shit all over Instagram about how dare people think they can tell her story.

And then, as if by magic, Madonna has decided to make her own film about her life and posted a make-up free selfie—because she’s a hardworking single mom, you know—on social media to reveal the news:

“A Woman’s work is never done!! 6 kids and many jobs = ratchet hair … Prepping my film not just whistling dixie!”

Seriously? Is anyone putting money into this sure-to-be mess? Madonna cannot act ... was anyone not listening to Patti LuPone ... and the only way I’d see this craptastic movie would be if Patti F**king LuPone plays the Material Girl.

I mean, since Madge ruined Evita for years to come, Patti can destroy Madonna ... and do so singing brilliantly.

So the new movie, All Eyez on Me, about Tupac Shakur, is not getting great buzz, and is especially getting reviled by one Jada Pinkett Smith. While she thinks the actors—Kat Graham plays young Jada and Demetrius Shipp Jr. is Tupac—were fine, she was all over social media with her complaints about the rest of the film:

“Forgive me… my relationship to Pac is too precious to me for the scenes in All Eyez On Me to stand as truth.”

She’s furious that a scene depicts Tupac reading her a poem:

“Pac never read me that poem. I didn't know that poem existed until it was printed in his book.”

Oh, how horrible that they did that Jada! Though I imagine it’s called creative license?

“Pac never said goodbye to me before leaving for LA. He had to leave abruptly and it wasn't to pursue his career.”

Again, this is awful? This is bad filmmaking? Sit down.

“I've never been to any of Pac's shows by his request. We never had an argument backstage. ... The reimagining of my relationship to Pac has been deeply hurtful.”

But that’s what most biopics are, Jada ... reimaginings. Seriously, find me one film about a real person that doesn’t change a few details and switch things around for dramatic effect.

Crickets

I think Jada’s just mad that she and Will didn’t get to play the leads. So, again, Jada, sit down.

And ... back to Madge, who used social media, once again, to prove what a bitch she is, once again.

Taking to Instagram last Sunday, she posted a photo of her family with “Happy Mother’s Day” written across the top, in addition to a caption that made clear she knew exactly what day it was:

“And Happy Father’s Day to Me too because lets face it …………,,..,,,,,… Im the Mommy and the Daddy. I don’t care what the papers say.”

Lovely mother, you know, because her children, who have fathers, will see that bitchiness, but what does she care; it’s all about her.

Just days after a mistrial was declared in his sexual assault trial, Bill Cosby is said to be planning a motivational speaking tour ...

About what? How to drug and rape sixty women and not get arrested?

Oh, no, it’s not that at all. It’s about warning young athletes and even “married men” about the dangers of sex crime allegations.

Like I was saying ...

This hurts ... seriously. My favorite actor, three-time Oscar winner, Daniel Day-Lewis is retiring from acting.

It hurts. I have been a fan of DDL’s from the very beginning and am always amazed by his portrayals—from a young bleached blonde gay punk to freaking Abe Lincoln, and everything in between.

My Beautiful Laundrette. My Left Foot. In The Name Of The Father. The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Sunday, Bloody Sunday. A Room With A View. Gangs of New York. Nine. The Last of the Mohicans. There Will Be Blood. The Age of Innocence.

DDL has one last film set for release this fall: an untitled drama set in the world of high fashion directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

Day-Lewis did not give a reason for his retirement but his spokeswoman, Leslee Dart said:

“Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer be working as an actor. He is immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years. This is a private decision and neither he nor his representatives will make any further comment on this subject. ”

Day-Lewis is the only performer to ever win three best actor Oscars.

I’ll miss his films because all of them are brilliant.

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.
