**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G.H. Harding **** Matt Lauer Has Powers At NBC TODAY SHOW MADNESS --- What’s in the water over at NBC/Universal? Having just gotten somewhat over the Ann Curry-debacle, there’s been a flurry of stories about the morning show crew; with Natalie Morales and Willie Geist suddenly being fired and Hoda Kotb replacing Savannah Guthrie. Yesterday, on their 9:00-AM hour, the so-named Today’s Take, Geist and Morales addressed it directly. A big rumor was that Matt Lauer went to the powers that be and instructed them NOT to do this, which resulted in the immediate firing of a NBC exec.  The once untouchable Today Show, which is limping to the end of its 63rd year amid backbiting, talent anxiety, lurid headlines, and for the past two years, second-place ratings, have cost the network news division tens of millions of dollars in advertising revenue. This latest embarrassment—Monday night’s very public dismissal of ...

**** THE WEB GOSSIP **** Cindy Adams REGIS -REBOOT? --- Cindy Adams reported that Regis is feeling remorse over his jumping-the-gun announcement over the summer that he was leaving the weekly AM show. I said when it happened it was all about money and now everyone else is is too ... thank you very much! Adams posted it was a momentous moment of ego when he made the announcement … which if one remembers, he tried to correct somewhat the very next day. Look, let's have both parties come to their senses and have him stay … right? For how long I do not know ... he just turned 80! Dana Carvey who was the host for last Friday's show was terrific … and, probably the best choice for a replacement. **** Joshua Jackson TV FLASHES --- I finally got to see some of the new TV shows this past weekend; as well as some re-booted favorites: First up, Fox's Fringe, back for its fourth season with a terrific episode called Neither Here Nor There. Last season found one of the cast, the awes...

**** THE WEB GOSSIP **** Lisa Edelstein ROWLEY HEAVEN --- I was sitting at The Stage at Lincoln Center Friday night waiting for the start of the Cynthia Rowley Spring 2012 show, when all of a sudden Lindsay Lohan ran out and sat in the row in front of me. Needless to say, the paps went ballistic. I hadn't been so close to one of these vortex-moments in quite some time and it was indeed a bit … blinding, shall we say? Lohan joined other bold-faced names like, actress Lisa Edelstein (TV's House); Kelly Rutherford; stylist Philip Bloch; gad fly-writer Jeffrey Slonim; and TV-talking head Alexa Chung, front and center. These fashion-weeks are always interesting, not only for the celebrity-factor, but for the continuing works of these designers. Spring 2012 is still a ways off, but it's always fascinating the see what's coming up the pipeline. Known for what the New York Times has called flirty, vibrantly colored dresses and tops in a wispy material, that have a whiff of the...

**** THE WEB GOSSIP **** Cindy Adams CINDY FOREVER – Let me set the scene: Yesterday at 7AM on the set of Fox’s Good Day New York – with Rosanna Scotto and Greg Kelly. I was there as a guest of Elizabeth Mascali and Dawn Sandomeno who wrote the book Plan To Party (Yorkshire Publishing) which explains in terrific and specific detail how to plan a party and execute it perfectly; whether it’s their Chocolate Soiree or their section on Fancy Nibbles there’s something there for everyone. While I watched the ladies and their PR-man David Salidor dress the table that would showcase just some of their fanciful designs for the show, who walks in but, the one and only Cindy Adams … and, with her two delicious ‘yorkies’ Jazzy and Juicy. Now, I've known Cindy for what seems like eons (beginning back in the days of the original production of The Fantasticks; as her late-husband Joey was one of the original investors and supporters of the play) and earlier this year she had a serious health sca...

Cindy Adams Nicole Kidmans publicist must be crazy to take on the legend herself, Cindy Adams. Catherine Olim, who won't be a publicist for long, is slamming reports the pregnant actress was spotted boozing backstage at the Oscars, insisting the star would never be so careless with her health. New York Post icon Cindy Adams claimed Kidman was sipping wine at the Academy Awards on Sunday, and her report has fired up publicist Catherine Olim. Olim fumes, "Nicole Kidman most certainly did not drink white wine or any other alcoholic beverage backstage. She had water and lemon zinger tea. That’s it. I know, I was there with her."I cannot remember that last time that Cindy Adams got anything right. She’s an idiot, and you can quote me." Editors Note: Knowing Cindy Adams very well, she rarely gets anything wrong. You must be one of those valley girl publicists who have no idea how this business works. A phone call to Cindy would have settled your problems. If there was som...
