EXCLUSIVE: GMA STARS GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, ROBIN ROBERTS, AND MICHAEL STRAHAN THREATEN TO WALK WITHOUT MASSIVE PAY BUMP
The faces of Good Morning America are drawing a bold line — and ABC is scrambling.
#ShuterScoop can exclusively reveal that George Stephanopoulos, Robin Roberts, and Michael Strahan have all refused to host GMA3 unless the network coughs up a major salary boost. The third-hour expansion was pitched as a “family unification” under the GMA brand, but the family isn’t feeling very generous.
“George said, ‘I’m not doing more for the same money,’” spilled one senior insider. “Robin’s team didn’t even let the conversation get started. And Michael? He thought it was a joke.”
The mutiny doesn’t stop there. Current GMA3 hosts DeMarco Morgan and Eva Pilgrim have both left the company, creating a talent void now filled by rotating regulars like Lara Spencer, Gio Benitez, and Will Reeve.
“This isn’t a programming issue anymore,” said one staffer. “This is a crisis.”
So far, ABC executives have declined public comment, but sources say tensions are at a boiling point behind the scenes. “They overreached,” one insider explains. “They stretched the brand — and snapped the trust.”
With egos bruised and contracts untouched, GMA3 is turning into the most unpredictable hour on TV.
EXCLUSIVE: JEFF BEZOS AND LAUREN SÁNCHEZ PUSH KATY PERRY AND ORLANDO BLOOM TO REUNITE
When it comes to love, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez go big — literally.
Sources tell #ShuterScoop the billionaire couple invited newly broken-up exes Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom to Capri aboard their $500M yacht with one goal: get them back together.
“They were seated side by side for everything — dinners, excursions, even gelato runs,” said one insider. “Jeff and Lauren think they’re soulmates.”
Whether it works? Too early to tell. But with Bezos playing Cupid, don’t rule out a second engagement at sea.
EXCLUSIVE: AARON PHYPERS LEFT DENISE RICHARDS OVER FAME AND ONLYFANS
It wasn’t just irreconcilable differences — it was irreconcilable Instagram.
#ShuterScoop can confirm that Aaron Phypers pulled the plug on his marriage to Denise Richards after years of being second to her obsession with fame.
“He felt like a background character in her reality show,” a friend says. “And when she joined OnlyFans and asked him to help shoot content — that was it.”
Now he’s asking for spousal support and peace. “She’s still chasing headlines,” said one insider. “He just wants his life back.”
EXCLUSIVE: GAYLE KING QUIETLY BEING PHASED OUT AMID CBS SHAKEUP
Change is coming fast to CBS — and Gayle King may be its most high-profile casualty.
Insiders tell #ShuterScoop that new leadership under David Ellison and Jeff Shell plans to cut costs and reset the tone at CBS News — and that means Gayle’s high salary and influence are no longer considered assets.
“She’s not part of the inner circle anymore,” one producer whispers. “She’s not even in the room where it’s happening.”
A graceful exit is being mapped. Her reign may end not with a bang — but a boardroom whisper.
