2007 Update (from Mister Knowledge of the nationally syndicated Russ Parr Morning Show)

Well, the big wigs over at The View are involved in some very exciting contract negotiations this morning. Just days following Rosie O’Donnell’s dismissal, ABC big wigs are already rumored to be 90% sure what African-American woman is going to replace her. That’s right, and the lucky comedian/actress starred in the 1985 block-buster movie “The Color Purple,” where she played the role of Celie. Yes, if you guessed Whoopi Goldberg, you would be correct. Insiders say she’s on her way to The View and is being offered something that was never offered to Rosie O’Donnell, a year to year contract; which basically gives ABC the right to fire her at the drop of a dime without being on the hook to pay her tons of money for early contract termination. Yes, Whoopi is a funny woman and she delivers her own power and press to The View, but it’s unlikely she will generate the 3.8 million in viewer ratings like Rosie O’Donnell did.

Well, I sure hope actors Vivica A. Fox (Set it Off) and Shemar Moore (The Young and The Restless) are taking their recent drinking and driving fiasco’s more seriously than their lilly-white celebrity counterpart Linsey Lohan. That’s right, insiders say Linsey Lohan is pretending to be sober and her recent stay at the notorious Promises Treatment Center is believed to be part of a major publicity stunt. Her closest friends confirm she’s using the 30 days in rehab to plan a big drug filled birthday bash in celebration of her 21st birthday on July 2nd. Further proving she no longer cares about her Hollywood career, as she was recently caught sending text messages to friends, begging them to smuggle sleeping pills into the rehab facility.

Inclosing news, just a few quickies. Super-Model turned talk-show personality; Tyra Banks is in negotiations to bring her California based talk-show to New York City. Pop singer Jessica Simpson and her new boyfriend John have reportedly broken up already. Could it be that John likes to read and Jessica can’t? American Idol big-wigs have their latest winner, Jordan Sparks spending the next couple of months at a celebrity fat farm in hopes that she’ll peel off about 60 pounds, which basically means she won’t be around this time next year. R&B singer Nivea is back and just signed with Capital Records, which is a good move for a very nice girl. But similar to Beyonce’, she should only be seen and not heard.
