Did ABC Digitally ‘Sweeten’ Whitney Houston’s GMA Performance?

12:30AM Andrew Belonsky | Don’t blame the Good Morning America producers for Whitney Houston’s creaky voice this morning. A tipster says they went to extreme measures, including digital “sweetening”, to rescue what was supposed to be the singer’s comeback performance in Central Park. More »

Fun New Mind-Control Toy Mesmerises Good Morning America

4:42AM Pareene | We know it’s a holiday weekend in the US, but you’re still on TV, Good Morning America. Don’t just put funny headphones on and concentrate on thinking about blowing balls, or whatever the hell is going on here.

Jeremy Piven Fishes For Redemption With Diane Sawyer

2:02AM Kyle Buchanan | Maybe Jeremy Piven isn’t off the mercury—after all, his attempt to justify his recent behaviour to Good Morning America was oilier than a soy sauce-slathered eel roll. More »

Actor’s Mustache Hijacks Candid ‘GMA’ Discussion of Race and Entertainment

7:40AM STV | If you think you’ve had about all you can stand of whatever controversy Tropic Thunder is shoveling today, try notching down the dosage a bit with Robert Downey Jr.’s appearance today on Good Morning America. Eschewing a straight discussion of his ostensibly incendiary portrayal of an Australian Method actor in blackface, RDJ brought his over-lit facial hair to bear on Chris Cuomo and the rest of the studio crew, whose early laughter fades into a riveted ’stache trance unseen since then-UN Ambassador John Bolton made a news round-up way back in 2005.

7:35AM Molly Friedman | Cynthia Nixon is living proof that bad things happen to good actresses. Speaking openly for the first time about her 2006 diagnosis with breast cancer on Good Morning America today, the happily outed actress demonstrated exactly how a public figure maintains grace under fire. And even after telling us how one goes about telling their kids they sorta have to undergo an operation, and how to deal with the public’s response to her coming out, one of the most intriguing lessons the Sex And The City star shared had to do with which half of a lesbian couple is called “Mom” and which is called “Mommy.” Nixon’s life lessons, after the jump.

Sawyer Vs. Richie II: The Anorexia Intervention

8:00AM Defamer Hollywood | As it turns out, the punishing questions of Good Morning America celebrity interrogator Diane Sawyer that led an overmatched, psychologically vulnerable Nicole Richie to admit that the baffling urban planning of Glendale induced her to drive the wrong way on the freeway were only intended to soften up the subject for the kill. With Richie squarely on the defensive, Sawyer attempted to stage a televised eating disorder intervention, presenting the troubled celebrity with a series of shocking images from her famously underweight past (though it was a cheap shot to Photoshop in a medical-school skeleton next to Lindsay Lohan. The tabloid sensibility really is destroying our morning chat shows) in the hope of inducing a tearful admission of anorexia. More »
