Changes At NBC’s ‘Today’: Joe Michaels Moved To Senior Director

9 hours ago | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »

In the latest upheaval at NBC‘s ratings-challenged Today show, longtime director Joe Michaels has been named senior director of the show, the network said today. No word from NBC on what his specific responsibilities will be, but a source with knowledge of the situation says he will manage large initiatives and projects on the technical/directorial side, such as Today’s coverage of the Winter Olympics next February. There’s no word on who would be replacing Michaels as director of the morning news show. Today‘s ratings have been slipping for years but the program managed to keep its No. 1 slot until Ann Curry’s ouster last June. Since then, ABC’s Good Morning America has taken over the top spot. Last month Gma continued its dominance over Today by beating the NBC show by 1.6 million viewers. That’s the largest single-day total viewership spread Gma has had »

But there’s much more to Stringer’s career and life — maybe too much even for Coach, the new Espn documentary about her.

Melissa Etheridge Disses Angelina Jolie For Double Mastectomy

17 June 2013 2:48 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »

Is Melissa on Team Jen? The rocker, who underwent five rounds of chemo for cancer in 2005, says Angelina’s decision to get a double mastectomy to prevent the possibility of breast cancer was made out of fear, not bravery.

Angelina Jolie, 38, underwent a double mastectomy in February. While her partner Brad Pitt thinks it was a very courageous decision, breast cancer survivor Melissa Etheridge begs to differ.

Melissa Etheridge: Angelina Jolie’s Mastectomy Was A Fearful Choice — Not Brave

Melissa, 52, told The Washington Blade:

“I have that [Brca-1 gene] too, and [a preventative double mastectomy is] not something I would believe in for myself. I wouldn’t call [having a preventative mastectomy] a brave choice. I actually think it’s the most fearful choice you can make when confronting anything with cancer.”

Furthermore, Melissa goes on to say that she believes cancer is mind over matter. She goes on and explains:

“My belief is that cancer comes from inside you, »

A ‘New Day’ for CNN: Ayem Talker Relies On Trio

17 June 2013 9:55 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »

It took “New Day” about 13 minutes to move from the same-old CNN to something a little different.

The new CNN ayem program has been billed by none other than the Time Warner cabler’s relatively new president, Jeff Zucker, as a program with a “generationally” different team of anchors: former ABC Newser Chris Cuomo, former Washington correspondent Kate Bolduan and Los Angeles export Michaela Pereira. The trio hit the screen today at 6 a.m. Eastern (with a promo by Cuomo and Bolduan surfacing on lead-in program “Early Start” at about 5:57) sounding a lot like traditional CNN. Their interplay didn’t truly surface until the news of the day had been transmitted.

Where MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” led off with a look at the notion that Russian President Vladmir Putin might have stolen a Super Bowl Ring (and a shot at anchor Mika Brzezinski’s purple shoe) and Fox News Channel »

It's a 'New Day' for CNN: Did you catch the net's revamped morning show?

17 June 2013 8:30 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Don’t expect CNN’s New Day to revolutionize its genre. “We are not reinventing the wheel,” the show’s executive producer Jim Murphy told USA Today this weekend. “It’s a morning news program.”

That said, the program — which premiered this morning, airing from 6-9 a.m. Et and replacing Soledad O’Brien’s Starting Point — does represent a sort of fresh start for CNN. Its hard-news, centrist focus exemplifies new CNN president Jeff Zucker’s approach to broadcasting; as Murphy explained, “You won’t see cooking and dancing and things like that.” Of course, that doesn’t mean »

Brad Pitt: Angelina Jolie Wants to Make Genetic Testing for Cancer Gene More Accessible

17 June 2013 6:48 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Angelina Jolie was able to get tested for the Brca gene mutation, and when she discovered she had it—and thus carried a very high risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer—she made an informed, proactive decision to preventively undergo a double mastectomy. But not everyone has access to health care and the chance to have this potentially lifesaving testing. On Monday on Good Morning America, Brad Pitt said his longtime love is back to "business as usual," adding that "her focus now is just to make sure all people have access to the [genetic] testing and know what they can do about it." "We were really surprised and moved how many other people were dealing with the same issue," »
