EXCLUSIVE: HODA KOTB’S DAYTIME POWER GRAB
“I’M AVAILABLE!” – Hoda Throws Her Hat in the Ring as Kelly Falters
Don’t let the smile fool you — Hoda Kotb is in full boss mode.
As The Kelly Clarkson Show struggles behind the scenes with burnout, emotional upheaval, and ratings erosion, insiders tell #ShuterScoop that Hoda, 59, is eyeing the throne — and she’s letting NBC know she’s more than ready.
“She’s made it known she’s available,” a high-ranking source reveals. “This isn’t just fill-in energy. She wants the seat.”
Kelly, 42, remains beloved, but her recent move to New York, staff shakeups, and personal challenges have weakened her daytime grip. Hoda, meanwhile, is polished, proven, and perfectly positioned inside the NBC machine.
“She’s playing the long game,” the insider adds. “If Kelly slips — even temporarily — Hoda wants to be the one warming the chair.”
And she’s not being shy about it. “It’s business,” a source close to Kotb says. “Daytime TV is all about timing — and she’s got hers down to the second.”
EXCLUSIVE: GERI HALLIWELL STANDING BY SEXTER HUSBAND CHRISTIAN HORNER — FOR NOW
SPICE GIRL HEARTBROKEN AS F1 STAR FIRED AFTER LEWD TEXT SCANDAL
Geri Halliwell is still wearing her wedding ring — but insiders say it’s getting heavier by the day.
After Christian Horner’s shocking firing from Red Bull Racing, one year after his sexting scandal, the Spice Girl is shaken and humiliated — but not walking away. Not yet.
“She forgave him,” a friend tells #ShuterScoop. “But this latest blow has her spiraling. She’s not sure how much more she can fake.”
Despite Red Bull thanking Horner for “20 years of service,” sources say the real reason was leaked messages — including vulgar DMs and requests for risqué selfies.
Geri, 52, tried to move forward for the sake of their son Monty. But now? “She’s watching him like a hawk,” the insider says. “This is her worst nightmare on replay.”
EXCLUSIVE: PRINCE HARRY SNUBBED FROM KING CHARLES’ OFFICIAL FUNERAL PLANS
“HE’LL BE INVITED — BUT HE WON’T SIT WITH CAMILLA, KATE OR WILLIAM,” INSIDERS REVEAL
He’s still royalty by blood — but not by protocol.
As King Charles lays the groundwork for his eventual state funeral, insiders confirm to #ShuterScoop that Prince Harry will be invited — but will be kept separate from senior royals, including Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Kate.
“It’s a message,” says a royal source. “A very clear one. He’s out of the inner circle — and this makes it permanent.”
The decision comes just days after Charles toasted William as “my son” at a state banquet… pointedly leaving Harry out of the speech entirely.
“He wasn’t forgotten,” the source adds. “He was erased.”
Now, Harry will attend — but seated apart. A brutal symbol of what it really means to exit The Firm.
EXCLUSIVE: SURI CRUISE RIDES THE SUBWAY — PROVES SHE’S JUST A NORMAL NEW YORKER (WITH A $600M DAD!)
Tom’s Daughter Ditches the Limo for the 6 Train — Just Like the Rest of Us
She could be whisked around in a chauffeured SUV — but Suri Cruise is keeping it real.
The 19-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes was spotted riding the NYC subway this week, dressed casually in a silver crop top and leggings, blending in with the crowd like any other Manhattan college kid.
“She’s incredibly grounded,” a family insider tells #ShuterScoop. “She’s not chasing fame. She’s living her life.”
Back home from Carnegie Mellon for summer break, Suri’s been laying low with mom Katie — but onlookers say she’s still turning heads thanks to her uncanny resemblance to her famous father.
“She’s choosing privacy,” the source adds. “But the star power? It’s there — just quieter.”
She may be the daughter of a blockbuster icon, but she’s navigating life on her own terms — and by MetroCard.
