Big changes could be coming to America's TV screens as major stars face contract renewals in an era of budget cuts. Household names from morning shows to late-night talk shows might see their multi-million dollar salaries slashed-or be replaced by up-and-coming talent at a fraction of the cost. Shrinking ad revenues and unprofitable streaming services are forcing networks to rethink their approach. Even TV giants like NBC, CBS, and ABC are feeling the squeeze. With ratings plummeting and younger audiences disappearing, the reign of the TV superstar may be on its last legs.

MAUREEN CALLAHAN: How does T.J. Holmes escapes #MeToo humiliation and is led out the door

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 8, 2023
CALLAHAN: Why hasn't the #MeToo campaign raged against T.J. Holmes? Has corporate media decided that, in the absence of outside pressure and scorn, it's just cheaper and easier to let some bad guys skate? If so, that's bad news for women. T.J. Holmes walks around, with his head held high and clearly regretting nothing. His ardent admiration for junior female employees extended to his peers. An ABC source told Page Six, 'No one likes working with him.' He yells and has the biggest ego,' he says.' We do not condone or allow harassment or coercion of any kind,' we say in a letter to The Cut, and we take these topics seriously and with immediacy.' Everyone has been, and continues to be, a top priority at ABC News, and that has included creating a safe, respectful, and professional work environment for everybody.' It's also difficult to believe. When teenage women were tossed around like sexual playthings, it's inconceivable that higher-ups were unaware.

Why Was It Always Men Asking Pamela Anderson About Her Breast Implants?

www.popsugar.co.uk, February 2, 2023
Pamela Anderson was honest in the 1990s and early 2000s, when plastic surgery was still considered tabooo and procedures in Hollywood were kept hush-hush, but she was openly admitting to what she's done. This decision was made in earnest more than anything else; in her latest Netflix documentary, "Pamela, a Love Story," she admits that it never occurred to her to be anything other than honest early in her career. Anderson was also asked about her breast implants by nearly every male reporter or host who interviewed her, which only fuelled the constant chatter about her body in the media. "I didn't know whether to lie or withhold information in interviews," she says, so when someone asks if I had surgery or something similar, I'd say "I'd just answer."

CALLAHAN: Matt Lauer moans Katie Couric 'betrayed' him!Does he REALLY think he's the victim?

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 30, 2022
CalLAHAN: For all their intelligence, some of America's most popular - now disgraced - media moguls are unable to read the text. Matt Lauer is the latest celebrity to take the octagon. Supposedly his feelings are hurt - and we're supposed to care? You'd be able to argue that the disgraced former television presenter, who has been accused of raping two female underlings, among other sexual offences in the workplace, is lucky that he is not facing felony charges or hasn't lost his fortune in civil lawsuits. Nope. Nothing but grievances from a grossly overpaid talking head (Lauer's salary is estimated at $25 million per year), now unemployed and at loose ends in the Hamptons. Her most recent complaint: Katie Couric, co-show co-host Katie Couric, said that Lauer's memoir was a profound act of hypocrisy. According to a Lauer source, 'He was really upset by Kate Couric's book.' She secretly messaged them and she semi-slammed him.' Poor Matt, who is traumatized by betrayal.

Matt Lauer was'very distraught' by Katie Couric's comments in her memoir, causing her to be'very afraid.'

According to a source who talked to People on Monday, the 64-year-old former NBC News star has 'kind of pulled from several friendships in the last year, particularly after Couric released her 2021 memoir Going There (inset). Katie Couric's book had a huge effect on him.' She semi-slammed him after she revealed their private text messages. According to the insider, it made him lose faith.
