Michael Strahan Leaving ‘Live’ To Join ‘Good Morning America’ Full Time

Kelly Ripa is in need of another co-host. Live With Kelly And Michael is losing Michael Strahan, who is going to be full time on ABC’s Good Morning America starting in September, as that show looks to shore up ratings against NBC News’s revitalized Today show.

The move ends Strahan’s four-year run as host of the daytime talker; since 2014 Strahan has joined the GMA team twice a week while co-hosting Live, which plans to kick off the search for a new co-host when the new season starts in the fall. In 2012, Strahan was nabbed to co-host Live after a 10-month search for a replacement for Regis Philbin. Strahan was named Philbin’s replacement after Ripa and producers kicked the tires on 59 guest co-hosts, though not all were serious contenders. Anderson Cooper, for instance, was happily employed at CNN, where he’s now town-hall-ing the heck out of the 2016 presidential election cycle, though other names may show up again as reporters crafting Who Will Be Kelly Ripa’s New Live Co-Host lists hear from production sources, agents and managers.

GMA wisely is waiting until after Today takes center stage in the daypart during NBC’s Rio Summer Games, during which it’s expected to unveil more changes as EP Noah Oppenheim continues to evolve that franchise.

This morning’s news comes just over four years to the day since Strahan announced, on Live with Kelly and Michael, that he was taking the GMA contributor gig, while assuring Ripa and fans that his Live gig was his top priority: “This is what I do…This is me. This is my home. No matter what. I go nowhere. This is my love. You are my love. This is my job. So don’t worry, anybody, I’m not going anywhere.”

But, a couple weeks ago, Today broke GMA’s 108-week streak as No. 1 in overall audience. The day NBC News could boast that Today had won the weekly ratings race in both total viewers and the news demo, for the first since since 2012, it confirmed Willie Geist’s move to Sunday Today would start this past Sunday. Season to date, GMA is still the No. 1 morning program, taking the top spot at this point of the season for the fourth consecutive year.

This season Live With Kelly And Michael is the No. 1 entertainment daytime talk show in households (2.9 rating) and among women 25-54 (1.4 rating-tie). Overall, the show is second among syndicated talkers, behind only perennial No. 1 Dr. Phil this season. Live recently was renewed through 2020.

Strahan will remain a co-host of NFL On Fox; he began his career as TV on-air talent with Fox Sports, upon his retirement in 2008 from the NFL, where he played for 15 years for the New York Giants.

Verizon, Hearst Agree to Buy Complex Media (values at $250 mill to $300 mill)

Verizon Communications Inc. and Hearst Corp. said they have agreed to acquire Complex Media, an online publisher that caters to young men.

The deal values Complex at $250 million to $300 million, according to people familiar with the matter. The companies announced the purchase on Monday after The Wall Street Journal reported they were nearing a deal.

Late last year, Hearst took an undisclosed minority stake in Complex, investing $21 million in the company. Hearst and Verizon will own Complex in an equal 50-50 joint venture.

The deal follows the two firms’ creation of Verizon Hearst Media Partners. It kicked off with the launch of two digital media properties aimed at millennials: RatedRed.com, a lifestyle channel aimed at young people in the heartland, and Seriously.TV, a comedy network focused on Politics. Both unveiled their first content this spring.

Earlier this month, Verizon and Hearst became investment partners in AwesomenessTV, a multichannel network targeting young women, along with majority owner DreamWorks Animation.

The Complex deal “just makes sense,” said Neeraj Khemlani, the co-president of Hearst Entertainment & Syndication. Verizon and Hearst “have been trying to put together a strong portfolio of digital video brands for millennials.”

Founded in 2002 by streetwear designer Marc Ecko, Complex began as a fashion magazine focused on skater and sneaker culture and has grown into a sprawling network of websites catering to young men.

The site on Monday included a video on “Sneaker Shopping With Dez Bryant,” and an article titled “Kobe’s Last Stand.” Its traffic was up 11% in March to 54.5 million unique visitors, according to comScore. Complex has been profitable since 2010, the companies said on Monday.

“If you just step back and look at what we’ve announced in the past six weeks in partnership with Hearst, we are really diversifying our content approach here, with ownership stakes that will be a network of the digital brands of the future,” said Brian Angiolet, Verizon’s senior vice president of consumer product and marketing.

The telecom giant has been working to cultivate millennial audiences as it seeks to build an inventory of digital publications and video sites where it can place targeted ads. It hopes to deliver those ads using ad technology it acquired with the purchase of AOL last year.

The deal includes an agreement for Complex to produce exclusive content for Verizon’s mobile video service go90, and AOL will be selling the ad inventory on that service, Mr. Angiolet said. Complex’s current operations, including Chief Executive Rich Antoniello, will remain in place, he added.

Falcons draft Keanu Neal in first round

FLOWERY BRANCH – The Falcons, with an eye toward adding an enforcer to their defense, selected Florida safety Kenau Neal with the 17th pick in the NFL draft Thursday.


Neal was one of the fast climbers during the pre-draft process. The buzz around Neal and the Falcons grew loudest in the final days preceding the draft.


Neal was partially recruited by Falcons coach Dan Quinn before he left Florida to return to Seattle. Neal played special teams for the Gators as a freshmen in 2013.

Neal said that teams had told him he was a late first-round or a second-round pick. The Falcons are in need of a strong safety after releasing William Moore.


With the selection of Neal, the Falcons likely will pick a linebacker in the second round Saturday.


The draft world had Neal, a 6-foot, 211-pound strong safety, who was the Gators’ third-leading tackler with 96 tackles and he had an interception, rated differently.

Neal’s decision to pass on his senior season and enter the draft paid off.


NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock rated Neal as the third best safety in the draft behind Ohio State’s Vonn Bell and West Virginia’s Karl Joseph.


Nolan Nawrocki, a former scout, had Neal with a “second-to-third round” grade. “His cover skills are average,” Nawrocki wrote in the highly respected NFL Draft 2016 preview. “He is a big hitter, and that is what’s going to excite (scouts), but I don’t think he is a great tackler. He has size, but I don’t see him matching athletic ability. I’m not sure he can run.”

Trump Campaign Hires Ben Carson, Fox's Former Favorite Candidate, To Head VP Selectio

The laughs just keep on coming:

Former Fox News contributor Dr. Ben Carson will reportedly be included on presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s “committee to handle the selection process” of a vice presidential running mate. Fox helped launch Carson’s own failed presidential campaign while he served as a network contributor despite the extreme comments he repeatedly made on the network.

Carson, who suspended his own presidential campaign several months ago, endorsed Trump in March. According to a May 4 report in The New York Times, Trump has indicated that he'll include Carson on his vice presidential selection committee.

Much like Donald Trump, Carson had a beneficial relationship with Fox News. As a network contributor, Carson was encouraged by Fox figures to launch his own bid for the White House. Sean Hannity hosted Carson on his Fox News show and asked him if he would ever run for president, then announced, "I would vote for you in a heartbeat." Carson even thanked Fox News in a 2014 speech for providing him a platform to push his own beliefs, saying, “We’d be Cuba if there were no Fox News.”

Fox frequently defended Carson during his presidential campaign, following Carson’s lead and claiming that media were unfairly scrutinizing his past. In November 2014, Fox News reportedly terminated Carson's contract, yet the announcement came over a month after Fox News senior vice president Neil Cavuto told Carson on air, "I think you're running for office now."

Carson has a history of making extreme and inflammatory comments. He has claimed that the outcome of the Holocaust would have been different “if the people had been armed,” fabricated a story about being admitted to West Point, said he believes Joseph built Egypt’s pyramids to store grain, and comparedadvocates of marriage equality to pedophiles.

Ayo whattup… You now once again in the presence of the almighty Hands of Zeus aka the illustrious Phantom Raviolis aka the world famous Cocaine Biceps aka Shampoo Bracelets the panty melter aka the benevolent Galaxy Knuckles in the flesh….but yall might kno me as Big Ghost. The gawd is back in effect once again to bless the culture wit the words of wisdom n whatever…



But yo…yall hear that? Thats the sound of half the testosterone on earth evacuating the planet… Guess Drake done dropped a new album. Its no secret that I aint exactly this dudes biggest supporter namsayin. I mean son got a couple joints I dont mind listenin to but that Drake playlist in my iTunes is shorter than Rick Ross’s verse on “Monster” b. It aint cuz I got anything against dude…I jus hate his fuckin music n think he a ridiculous person. Aubrey can be many things tho… R&B chanteuse…imaginary sports aficionado… waverider… waveparasailer…wavehoverboarder… As well as some unique hybrid things such as a misogynist/fuckboy… fake sincere… The Human Urban Outfitters etc.. Most days I would rather stab myself in the nuts witta butterknife than actually listen to sons music on purpose…never mind 20 got damn tracks of it… but Okayplayer done threw the bag of money at me again sooooo… here I am. 20 tracks tho? Shit is gon be like listening to a chopped n screwed Celine Dion album b. Pray for me…



1. “Keep the Family Close” – Yo how is track 1 on your album gon be 90 mins long b? The fuck type of… Oh hol up…this shit is only 5-1/2 mins. Guess it jus feels like its 3 episodes of The Big Bang Theory long cuz I hate its fuckin guts n I wanna stab it in the face. Listen yo… If the giant invisible asshole in the sky that shitted out Tyga, Ryan Seacrest, n Donald Trump into existence n onto the surface of the earth ever squeezed out a song at some point in time this might be that song. The very first words this muthafucka croons on the album are some the most bitchmade lyrics I ever heard in my life b. If a muthafuckin bed of magical daffodils could write songs it might come up wit some bars that was less bitchmade than this yo. Its like the soundtrack to Cats jus exploded out his ass while son was in the booth n 40 was like “Thats a take” n shit was a wrap. Boom. Son…did you jus call ya exes all your “Lets just be friends”? You need to get kicked in ya damn teeth for that shit alone… Never mind the fact that the next line is:

“How do you not check on me when things go wrong?“

n then

“Ya supposed to put your pride aside n ride for me/Guess it wasnt time…of course you went n chose a side that wasnt mine :'(“

Can you be any more of a self absorbed little emo thot bruh? What you like 8 years old or some shit? Grow a damn dick b…



2. “9” – This a dedication to “the 6” aka Toronto.. In case he lost you wit the witty title this shit is called “9” cuz Aubrey feels like he done turned the city upside down. Ima give yall a moment to allow ya minds to be momentarily blown to fragments before I continue…. *listens to “Ante Up” by M.O.P. to cleanse away the powdered sugar residue of the last song from memory forever*…. Anyways this song is softer than squirrel punani.. but compared to the last shit its Beanie Sigel’s “What Your Life Like.” Everything that I or any normal man hates bout this generation of (male) rappers n any remotely successful starved-for-attention fuckface quasi celebs in general can be found within the petty bitchmade words of this song b… The bitterness…the slick little sideways talk n subliminals…the weepin bout how hard it is to love people…the patting of ones self on the back for the eleven millionth time for takin care of ya own people type shit…the TRUST ISSUES… I mean how many times can the same muthafucka regurgitate this thought b?

“I got it right now so I’m everybody’s friend/If I ever lose I bet we never speak again ”

I also jus wanted to point out that this shit got like a paragraph worth of names in the songwriter credits. Its like the cast of a independent movie on that muthafucka b. Anyways I aint mad at it but fuck this song.



3. “U With Me?” – The title of this thot anthem kinda says it all. To add insult to the paper cut.. Mr Sadpants had the nerve to sample the muthafuckin antithesis of his own self on this shit. How you tryna pay homage to DMX b? Aint like son went outta his way to ever say one remotely positive thing bout you ever bruh. Matter fact Ima jus let X speak on it…



Dog…its no reconciliation after shit like that nahmean. What you tryna be that man friend after he disrespects ya face n ya damn haircut? Son… Only thing he aint do was say that ya moms aint shit for birthin you. Thats it. That was the line DMX was unwilling to cross…disrespectin ya old earth for allowin a petty sideways talkin bitchmade wave ridin culture vulture wit trust issues n gummi bears pumpin from his heart to gestate inside her womb. Thats where the line is drawn for Earl. He gon hate on ya little motherly voice n how you walk n ya weepy lost dog face but he not bout to disrespect mom dukes like that. Thats admirable b. That’s a gentleman right there yo. But this Drake character? I mean look at this verse…

“On some DMX shit
I group DM my exes
I tell em they belong to me / That goes on for forever
And I think we jus get closer when we not together (*sniffle*)
You tell me that Im confusin
More immature than Marques Houston
Cuts too deep for a bandaid solution =(
We too deep in this thing to never lose me
LOLOL Im glad you find this shit amusing :'(“

Aint enough trash emojis to fully express how basura this boy bars is startin to get. Shit is like a teacher caught two 12 yr olds passin notes n read the funny parts out loud in front of the class n somebody threw a beat under it. J. Cole wouldnt even use these rhymes… Aubrey might gotta swallow his little pride n iron out whatever happened between him n Quentin Miller cuz whoever wrote this shit for him clearly aint strivin to be the next Black Thought or Pharoahe Monch namsayin.

Afeni Shakur Set Up an Air-Tight Trust to Protect Tupac’s Music

In March, there was speculation that Tupac’s estate could be at risk, as his mother Afeni Shakur went through the process of divorcing Gust Davis, who was seeking half of all profits earned from it. The rap world was saddened on Tuesday (May 3) to learn of Afeni’s passing, but according to TMZ, she went through all the necessary steps to ensure that Pac’s estate and legacy would be properly handled without here.

A trust has been set up to control all of Tupac’s music rights, with Tom Whalley, the former head of Warner Bros. Records, named as executor. As TMZ reports, the trust is specific about heirs, with the money earned by the estate, close to $1 million a year, going to select charities and family members. Afeni was survived by her sister Gloria and daughter, Sekyiwa Shakur, who was likewise Tupac’s half sister.

Davis is not mentioned in the trust at all, meaning that regardless of the divorce proceedings, Tupac’s money and music will remain untouchable. Howard King, the attorney who represented Afeni, also worked with Prince, and said that while Prince hated dealing with paperwork and rarely listened to advisors, Afeni was the exact opposite, resulting in an air-tight trust protecting Pac’s legacy.

Afeni passed late Monday evening after deputies arrived at her Sausalito, Calif. home, responding to a possible cardiac arrest. She was 69 years old. Below, Snoop Dogg, Bun B, Questlove and more react to the news of Afeni’s passing.
