Katie Couric Scores First Interview with Hudson River Hero Pilot

Take that Matt Lauer! Less than a month after her former “Today” show co-anchor was scheduled to do a live interview with Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the pilot who guided U.S. Airways Flight 1549 to that safe Hudson River landing, Katie Couric has swooped in and scored a huge coup. Score one for CBS. According to network execs, Couric plans to travel to Charlotte, North Carolina tomorrow to interview Sullenberger and his crew, who by the way, just appeared live at the Super Bowl in Tampa.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd are about to hop into the hot seats. A formal announcement by show creator Barbara Walters is expected next week.

Celeb Updates: Paris’s Least Favorite Color and Rosie’s Staying Put

Can you guess what it is? That’s right—-prison orange. According to her mother, Paris is “sick of orange.” But other than that Kathy Hilton says her daughter is doing well and is looking forward to being released from jail tomorrow. “I think she’s very, very excited to see the family,” the heiress’ mother told reporters on Saturday. Ma Hilton added that the party-girl was also looking forward to getting out of her orange prison uniform. Another of the socialite’s visitors (actress Ashley Scott of TV’s “Jericho”) told reporters that Paris can’t wait to get out and “eat.” How’s that for … Continue reading →

Is “The View” Getting A Male Co-host?

For weeks rumors have been circulating about who will fill Rosie O’Donnell’s large shoes on ABC’s daytime chatfest “The View.” Media front runners (their names have tossed around by the press, not by “View” execs) include Kathy Griffin, Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd – all of whom have regularly filled in as guest co-hosts in recent weeks. (They’d be fools to let Shepherd get away—she’s hilarious!) But, today, New York is buzzing about two names that have not made the list of serious female contenders—Mario Cantone and Ross Mathews. Shocking? Hardly. The two men have been frequent guests on the … Continue reading →

New Career Moves For Female Stars

Wasn’t it Madonna who said the key to remaining in the spotlight is to constantly reinvent yourself? Seems as though some of her fellow stars are taking the Material Girl’s advice. JENNIFER ANISTON The 38-year-old former “Friends” actress is now the face of something purer than all that glitters in Tinseltown. Aniston has invested in bottled-water.

Monkey See, Monkey Do

If you ask Dr. Drew, MTV’s hit shows “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom” work better than condoms when it comes to deterring high school students from becoming parents long before they are ready. Of course, the good doc is employed by MTV as host of the aforementioned shows’ reunion episodes, so he could be towing the company line. Still, there is no denying the popularity of “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom.” The series has made rock stars out of its teen mothers and it’s no surprise that some claim “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom” actually encourage girls … Continue reading →

Pop Culture Potpourri—Moving On

Did anyone think the strange hook up between comedienne Kathy Griffin and mega-zillionaire Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak would last? Frankly, I seriously doubt either one of them thought they were in it for the long haul. However, I do find the timing of Wozniak’s recent wedding to be quite surprising. According to Griffin, the odd couple split some time ago, but it was just a few weeks ago that she found out that he got married to someone else. Whoa! How’s that for moving on? The comic says, “I got an email last week from him, and he is going … Continue reading →
