14 Talk Show Hosts Who Should Never Speak Again


Some talk show hosts out there are funny (see Colbert, Stephen).


Other talk show hosts out there are viral sensations (see Kimmel, Jimmy).


And then some other talk show hosts out there are simply obnoxious and annoying and we wish they"d shut up already.


This is a rundown of those in the latter category…




1. Wendy Williams

The worst of the worst. She will say anything to make a headline, offering up baseless opinions and saying them in some sassy manner just to stir up controversy and make herself seem relevant. Wendy Williams is despicable.



2. Rosie O’Donnell


Rosie odonnell

Is she back on The View yet? We can hardly even keep track, but we assume she’ll surface again on some talk show and we assume we’ll be setting our TV to “Mute” when she does because the formerly fun host has somehow been replaced by someone obnoxious and self-involved.



3. Nancy Grace

She has never met a tragic story that she did not exploit for ratings and attention.



4. Dr. Phil

Dr. Phil doesn’t care if your cheating husband left you for your best friend while you were dying of cancer. It’s ALL YOUR FAULT!



5. Glenn Beck

Do we really need to spell out the reasons why?



6. Matt Lauer

Have you read those reports about how all Today show staffers hate him? It just sounds like he’s really mean.

Joe Alaskey Dies; Voice of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck Was 63

Joe Alaskey, the voice of beloved Looney Tunes characters such as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, has died Wednesday in Los Angeles after a lengthy battle with cancer.


He was 63 years old.

Television writer and friend Mark Evanier confirmed Alaskey’s passing via a blog entry.


After listing all the characters who Alaskey brought to life (including Tweety, Sylvester and Marvin the Martian), Evanier wrote the following of his late acquaintance: 


“The one I liked best was when he sounded like Joe Alaskey. He had a long, long list of voices but that’s the one I will miss the most.”


The voice actor inherited the roles of these iconic Warner Bros. characters from the legendary impressionist Mel Blanc after his passing in 1989.


Along with those in the Warner Bros. family, Alaskey also voiced Grandpa Lou Pickles in Rugrats and Stinkie in the movie Casper.


In a similar capacity, he specialized in voice matches for real-life people, supplying the voice for Richard Nixon in the Academy Award-winning movie Forrest Gump.


In 2004, Alaskey won a Daytime Emmy Award for his work on the cartoon show Duck Dodgers.


We send our condolences to the family members, friends and loved ones of Joe Alaskey.


Steven Avery: Was He Framed By a Notorious Serial Killer?!

Ever since Making a Murderer first captivated Netflix viewers back in December, hundreds of theories about the murder of Teresa Halbach and the arrest and conviction of Steven Avery have surfaced online.




Steven Avery



Avery himself has claimed to know who actually murdered Halbach.


His mother has stated that she believes Halbach is still alive, and the whole thing was an elaborate con designed to put her son behind bars.


Now, a former FBI cold case expert is offering his own shocking theory – and he’s compiled some pretty compelling evidence to support it.


In a recent interview with Radar Online, former special agent John Cameron reveals that he believes Avery was framed by a notorious serial killer named Edward Wayne Edwards.


“Steven Avery is completely innocent,” Cameron tells the website. “He was set up by Edwards.”


It may sound more than a little far-fetched, but Cameron insists that he’s done the legwork and that his story at least deserves further investigation:


Cameron says the theory fist occurred to him when he realized that Edwards – who murdered at least five people at random – between 1977 and 2009 – was living less than an hour away from the Avery impound lot where Halbach’s body was found at the time of her murder.


Edwards was sentenced to death in 2011, but died of natural causes before he could be executed.


Several law enforcement agents who worked on the case claim that Edwards frequently hinted that he had killed several women without ever being connected to the crimes.


“He had done exactly the same thing in California in 1955 when he kidnapped and murdered a doctor’s 14-year-old daughter called Stephanie Bryan,” Cameron says.


“He hid her body for three months and then planted the girl’s property in a man named Burton Abbott’s basement and in his garage.


“Abbott was convicted on circumstantial evidence but always protested that he was framed. He was executed at San Quentin minutes before a stay of execution was delivered.”


“When I first started watching Making a Murderer, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing…it’s the same kind of setup,”


Cameron says he believes that Edwards can even be seen lurking at the crime scene in a shot from the Netflix documentary series:


“It looks like Edwards to me,” Cameron says. “He got off on [returning to the scene of the crime].”


Unfortunately, Edwards passed away before he could complete a memoir in which he reportedly planned to confess to all of his previous killings.


Kim Kardashian Promised Amber Rose WHAT?!

After a Twitter feud between Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose got way out of hand, Kim Kardashian decided to call a truce on behalf of her husband.



Earlier this week, Kardashian reportedly invited Rose over to Kris Jenner’s house, where they talked through the issues and made peace.  Their agreement was sealed with an Instagram on February 2nd, in which the women posed together.


Now, Hollywood Life claims that there’s more to their meeting.


“When Kim first talked to Amber she explained how she could make it worth her while to make up with her,” a source told the site, explaining that Kardashian promised her a role on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, complete with a big, fat paycheck.


 “Amber will profit off it in more ways than one,” the source added.


“Kim promised to shoot a scene for the show with her and get her paid well for it and she’s told her she will help her out with connections for her reality show.”


Kardashian had to pull some major strings to make reality magic happen, but “not because she likes this woman, she still despises her, but she doesn’t want her as an enemy,” the source pointed out.


Honestly, it sounds like a great offer, and with so many rumors about Rose and Blac Chyna vs the Kardashians, seeing her on the show would be a ratings winner.
