After weeks of speculation, Ann Curry has officially announced that she'll be leaving The Today Show.

While shedding tears, Curry told viewers "this is not as I expected to ever leave this couch."

Curry, who is expected to be replaced by Savannah Guthrie, added:

"For all of you who saw me as a groundbreaker, I'm sorry I couldn't carry the ball over the finish line but, man, I did try. To all of you watching, thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me touch yours."

The newswoman will now be the NBC News National and International Correspondent and Anchor.

The Kardashian family has just signed a $40 million deal for three more seasons of Keeping Up with the Kardashians with E!, according to TMZ.

This is the biggest deal in reality TV history, but get this -- it doesn't even include products associated with the show that the family can profit from.

Last year the family made a whopping $65 million (Kim herself is worth an estimated $30 million), and while they may be the highest paid family in reality television, we have to ask: Are they worth every penny?

Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. was named the season six winner of America's Got Talent on Wednesday night, beating out the dance troupe the Silhouettes for the $1 million prize.

Murphy sang a duet with the legendary Patti LaBelle, and artists like LeAnn Rimes, Cobra Starship, Def Leppard, One Republic and Stevie Wonder also performed at the star-studded finale. When host Nick Cannon announced that Murphy was the winner, he appeared stunned, but after getting swarmed by the dancers, the news seemed to sink in. "It's been a long, hard journey - it's finally paying off, man," he said.

After being announced the winner, Colon told the audience:

Katherine McPhee stepped out looking effortlessly smashing on her dinner date with her husband Nick Cokas and friends at BOA Steakhouse on Monday night.

The former Idol star will display her singing chops in the new Stephen Spielberg-produced musical drama alongside Debra Messing and Anjelica Huston as part of NBC's mid-season schedule in 2012.

It's also good to see the singer still going strong with her hubby of three years -- who is also 19 years her senior!

Oh no, he didn't!

Late night talk show host and comedian George Lopez had a full-on laugh-out-loud satirical "world exclusive interview" with Arnold Schwarzenegger's former housekeeper -- better known as his baby mama, Mildred Patty Baena -- on his show Monday night.

Lopez dressed up as a woman, with a blonde wig and full makeup, strangely resembles Baena! The interviewed was set up "via satellite" from her home in Bakersfield.

The host asks "Patty" how the news of their lovechild got out. The housekeeper claims people "started to talk" as word got out "there was a 10-year-old who could bench press 450 lbs. -- and was very gropey."

The comedian jokes, "Like father, like illegitimate son." Touche!

Only a week after receiving a standing ovation upon debuting his single "(It) Feels So Good," it came natural for American Idol judge, Steven Tyler, to go with the flow as he made his way through LAX. We're lovin' those long locks!

The 63-year-old rocker has taken a break from Aerosmith to create multiple individual projects: the release of his album (It) Feels So Good, his autobiography Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? and his stint as judge on Idol.

Even though his band had threatened to kick Tyler from Aerosmith if he joined Idol, Tyler held on real tight to his cajones and took the TV gig!

The frontman recently told Rolling Stone some jaw-dropping remarks in regards to Aerosmith. Read them after the jump!

ABC has decided to pull the plug on two of the network's longest-running soap operas ... One Life To Live and All My Children.

All My Children aired for 41 years and One Life To Live survived a 43-year run. Kelly Ripa, who met her husband Mark Consuelos on AMC, said the following:

"All My Children means so much more to me than any place, because [Mark and I] met there, we had our children there, it was a big part of our lives. I think that to cancel a show that has been on television for so many years, what are you going to replace it with? I mean I just don’t know. I just feel like it’s such a training ground for so many actors."

ABC announced both soaps will be replaced with a food-related show called The Chew and a lifestyle show called The Revolution.

OLTL's final episode will air in January 2012. AMC will wrap it up in September 2011.
