Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: ABC, Gossip

Jessica Simpson, John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston

George Stephanopoulos could have a very interesting roundtable on his hands.

Tomorrow morning on GMA, the show will welcome two names quite familiar to singer : Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson.

The two women - exes John referenced in Mayer’s recent Playboy interview - will be appearing to promote their individual projects. Simpson will talk about Monday night’s debut of The Price of Beauty, her new reality series for VH1. Meanwhile, Aniston will discuss The Bounty Hunter, her new movie with Gerard Butler.

Will these ladies have to share a green room? Will Robin Roberts be questioning them both about John? This is exactly the kind of potential awkwardness that helps get me up on a Monday morning!

Charles Gibson and Diane Sawyer

UPDATE: It’s now being reported that Cuomo may be the new co-host of 20/20. Juju Chang would then replace Chris on GMA.

Diane’s exit will give her just over a week to transition to her new post at World News Tonight. She will begin on Dec. 21, just three days after Charles Gibson signs off from that chair.

Although it’s been widely rumored that George Stephanopoulos will become the new GMA anchor, it’s unknown whether ABC’s chief Washington correspondent and This Week host will accept the offer.

Chris Brown GraffitiAdam Lambert For Your Entertainment

What’s worse? Homosexual suggestion or highly-publicized domestic abuse? ABC seems to think the former is far worse - at least, to Good Morning America viewing audiences. On the heels of early-morning performance, the show is getting ready for Chris Brown to appear.

Wait…really?

Lambert Admits He Got Carried Away, Still Not Sorry

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Award Shows, Daytime, Music, ABC, CBS, Gossip, News, Video


If the folks at ABC were counting on Adam Lambert to apologize for his AMA performance, it’s probably a good thing they canceled his Good Morning America appearance.

The American Idol alum showed up to The Early Show instead and did admit that catching glimpses of his favorite pop stars sparked more of his energy.

“I admit I did get carried away, but I don’t see anything wrong with it. I do see how people got offended and that was not my intention. My intention was to interpret the lyrics of my song and have a good time with it.”

He also made no apologies when asked about how he felt with children watching his performance: “It didn’t cross my mind - children. It was almost 11 o’clock at night. I was in the audience and it was mostly adults… I’m not a babysitter. I’m a performer.”

Check out his Early Show performances after the break!

Good Morning America Axes Adam Lambert Appearance

Adam Lambert's AMA performanceDespite the overwhelming split over whether or not Adam Lambert’s American Music Awards performance was too provocative for television, Good Morning America has canceled Lambert’s scheduled appearance for tomorrow.

“Given his controversial American Music Awards performance, we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning,” a network spokesperson said.

I can’t necessarily blame them, considering I was appalled to wake up in the morning to be greeted by a very sexed-up Fergie performance on the Today Show. At the same time, there are huge Calvin Klein billboards in New York City that feature a half naked Eva Mendes (and men, for that matter) 24 hours a day!

Either way, CBS jumped at the opportunity ABC threw away, quick to book Lambert for their Early Show tomorrow. I wonder what the sexual singer will have in store for his daytime fans…

Keep in mind—this clip is only a portion of what we will hear say come Friday night.

On this morning’s Good Morning America, Diane Sawyer previewed the 21-year-old’s first television interview about her violent relationship with Chris Brown. In this 5-minute clip, the singer admits she was embarrassed about allowing herself to fall in love with that type of person.

“So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It’s humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? It’s a traumatizing experience,” she said.

  • Shrek the Halls (ABC, 8pm): Hopefully this Mike Myers laugher will help us all forget The Love Guru.
  • Inside the Actor’s Studio (Bravo, 8pm):  “Daniel Radcliffe, star of the Harry Potter film franchise, charts his career journey.” I’m not sure I want to see James Lipton enthusiastically talking about Radcliffe’s nude Broadway performance.
  • Heroes (NBC, 9pm):  “Ando, Sam and Frack try to restore Hiro’s memory with a comic book.” Any person trying to follow this series should be given an instruction manual.
