After nearly five years on the air, Meredith Vieira this morning left her post as co-anchor of NBC's top-rated program 'TODAY.'
It was an understandably emotional farewell for Vieira, who thanked her team and the viewers at home for such an incredible run. "All of you I will put in my heart," she said.
"I'm so honored to have sat with all of you," she added, before joking, "Most of you."
Following weeks of messy publicity, Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger will officially replace Cheryl Cole as a judge on Fox's upcoming reality-competition series 'The X Factor.'
In a joint statement released Monday, Fox and 'X Factor' producers FremantleMedia and Syco TV said, "Nicole Scherzinger will be replacing Cheryl Cole on the judging panel of The X Factor.
"Nicole will join Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid and Paula Abdul on their search across America to find the next global superstar or group to win the life-changing $5 million dollar recording deal. Nicole has previously joined Simon Cowell as a guest judge on The X Factor for the UK version of the show in 2010. Steve Jones will act as sole host of The X Factor."
A host of celebrities are making room on their mantles for the cherished golden popcorn statue that is the MTV Movie Award after Sunday night's 2011 ceremony.
'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' dominated the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, winning five trophies, including the night's most coveted prize, Best Movie.
'Eclipse' stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart also took home prizes, in the categories of Best Male Performance and Best Female Performance, respectively, marking their third-consecutive win each.
And the drama continues: Just days after Ronnie Ortiz Magro and Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino reportedly brawled in Florence, Italy, PEOPLE is reporting that 'Jersey Shore' star Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi crashed her car into an Italian police escort.
The incident reportedly occurred on Monday and sent two Italian officers to the hospital for minor injuries. Sources added that no alcohol or drugs were involved, though Snooki was still taken to a police station to fill out an accident report.
He's baaaack!
This week, Fox released a brand-new teaser for its upcoming reality-competition series 'The X Factor,' which will mark the official return to American television for Simon Cowell.
The former 'American Idol' judge, who is re-teaming with his fellow 'Idol' expat, Paula Abdul, promises an epic show, one that is open to "anyone who can sing."
Though she put on an impeccable show Wednesday night, America ultimately decided they didn't want to see Haley Reinhart in the next week's finals.
The 20-year-old Wheeling, IL, native was booted from 'American Idol' late Thursday night, leaving Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina to battle it out for the season 10 crown.
Well, $#*!.
CBS announced Sunday that is pulling the plug on the William Shatner vehicle '$#*! My Dad Says' after just one season.
The sitcom, which was based on the popular Twitter feed by Justin Halpern, debuted to strong ratings last fall, but stumbled as the season progressed. Critics' reviews, meanwhile, were less than kind.
Also getting the axe: the legal drama 'The Defenders' and the new comedy 'Mad Love,' co-starring Judy Greer.
Sources for the Hollywood Reporter have confirmed that funnyman Ashton Kutcher will replace Charlie Sheen on 'Two and a Half Men' next season.
Though reps for CBS, studio Warner Bros. and Kutcher declined to comment, sources claim the deal is "all but signed." Kutcher also posted a coy tweet late Thursday night, asking, "What's the square root of 6.25?"
In a move that will surprise no one, NBC announced Thursday that it is expanding 'The Voice' to two hours, effective June 7.
June 7 is, of course, when 'The Voice' switches to its live performance shows. According to Deadline, the live shows will air from 9-11PM on Tuesdays, following an hour-long episode of 'America's Got Talent.'
