Joy Behar is leaving The View after a sixteen year run on the daytime talk show, ABC confirms.

"Joy Behar has been instrumental in the success of The View from the very beginning. We wish her all the best in this next chapter, and are thrilled that we have her for the remainder of the season," the rep said in a statement.

The TV journalist is looking to move on to other projects, which include writing a play and doing standup. She also has her own shows on HLN and Current TV. On top of it all, she is rumored to be in talks with CNN president Jeff Zucker on an unnamed project.

We're sad to see her go, but at least we still have Barbara Walters!

Modern Family Settles Salary Dispute

Jul 30, 2012 09:50 AM

Modern-Family-Season-230.jpg The cast of Modern Family has finally ended their family feud!

After weeks of salary disputes, cancelled table reads, and tense negotiations, the six adult stars of the Emmy winning TV show have agreed in principle to new contracts with producer 20th Century Fox television.

Previously raking in an estimated $65,000 per episode, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet and Sofia Vergara will now make a reported $150,000 per episode. With bonuses and back-end profits, the actors' salary will jump to an estimated $350,000 per episode. Although Ed O'Neill used to be the highest paid actor on the show, salaries are now pretty much even between the entire cast.

In exchange for the substantial raise, the cast has agreed to tack on another year to their seven season contracts and drop the lawsuit that was filed to void their pre-existing contracts.

"It's no surprise, but I'm of course thrilled and I cannot wait to get on stage Monday morning and start making the show again. It'll feel great, I'm sure everybody is going to be very relieved and I hope that it's the beginning of a great season. I feel really good about it. I'm very happy for my friends on the cast for their success, I really am," show co-creator Steve Levitan told THR.

In 2011 alone, Modern Family generated $164 million in advertising revenue for ABC.

The show can't go on without its stars, so hefty salaries were a small price to pay for our favorite family making their return to TV!

Regis Philbin has finally said farewell to Live! With Regis and Kelly after 28 years on the air.

With his co-host of 11 years Kelly Ripa sitting next to him, Philbin said:

    "For 28 years, millions of viewers have had the great fortune of starting their day with you. For 11 years, I have had the great fortune of starting my day sitting next to you. You took this soap actress and plopped her behind a desk and made her your partner in crime. My life is forever changed."

In response, Kelly told Regis, "I look forward to your next steps and hope they fill you with the joy you've filled all of us with all these years."

For his final words before the show ended, the 80-year-old host said the following to the audience:

    "This was the last chance I had in this business: To make it here in New York. I guess it was fate that it happened this way. I'll never be able to answer all the letters and messages that have poured in but I'll always remember spending these mornings with all of you. God bless you all and I hope I see you again real soon."

Farewell, Regis!

Rob Kardashian Rolls Up To Extra

Sep 29, 2011 01:10 PM

Rob Kardashian made his way to The Grove on Thursday to chat with Extra host Mario Lopez, but he showed up in a curious clothing choice -- rolled-up jeans!

Considering the Kardashian gals are known for their fashion-forward looks, it's a bit of a surprise to see their little bro in high water pants. Then again, maybe he just really wanted us to see how white his Chuck Taylors are ... and they are spiffy.

Even though he really needed fashion advice this morning, Rob got fashion tips from Mario instead. Good thing Rob is prepared to trot his socks off today! "Time to rehearse all day! Working on this foxtrot! Next week is Most Memorable Year of Your Life and got a very meaningful song! Can't wait!" he Tweeted Thursday afternoon.

Wonder what his song will be -- perhaps something dedicated to his father?

Charlie's Angels Slammed By Critics

Sep 22, 2011 12:00 PM

CharliesAngels092211.jpgThe reviews are in -- and unlike the Charlie's Angels girls themselves, it's not pretty.

Angels is set to premiere on ABC tonight, the second reboot of the original 1976 TV series that starred Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith and and Kate Jackson.

This 2011 version gives us beauties Minka Kelly, Rachael Taylor and Annie Ilonzeh as the trio of butt-kicking leading ladies. While all three are gorgeous, that's apparently all there is to this remake.

Critics are panning the series across the board, calling it absurd and boring while picking apart everything from a plot that doesn't work to the terrible dialogue. One of our favorite reviews comes from the Chicago Tribune. "Angels was a hit 35 years ago because viewers obviously didn’t mind idiotic dialogue and illogical plots," critic Curt Wagner wrote. "Oh, and it also worked because so few action shows had women as leads. Things have changed since then, though."

Looks like we'll be praying that NBC can find a role for Minka again on Parenthood.
