EXCLUSIVE: SHEINELLE JONES JOINS ‘TODAY’ 4TH HOUR AFTER HEARTBREAKING LOSS
In a move filled with quiet strength and immeasurable grace, Sheinelle Jones is preparing to step into the 4th hour of Today, following the devastating loss of her husband, Uche Ojeh, 45, after a private battle with glioblastoma.
Sources tell #ShuterScoop the promotion had been months in the making, but Sheinelle placed everything on pause to care for her husband and children.
“Had he not been sick, this would’ve been announced a long time ago,” one insider shares. “But she wasn’t thinking about ratings. Just love.”
Sheinelle’s extended leave since December has been met with unwavering support from her Today family — especially Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin.
Her return is not about reclaiming airtime — it’s about healing, honoring, and beginning again.
“She’s not stepping into a role,” a close friend explains. “She’s stepping back into the world — with resilience, with purpose, and with heart.”
EXCLUSIVE: BROADWAY’S BACKSTAGE NIGHTMARE — JAMES CORDEN RETURNS, AND CREWS ARE PANICKING
Cue the jazz hands — and the anxiety.
James Corden is making a stage comeback in 2025, but Broadway insiders aren’t exactly rolling out the red carpet.
“He’s chaos offstage,” whispers one longtime crew member. “Tantrums, micro-managing, treating staff like props.”
The actor and late-night alum left a trail of resentment during his One Man, Two Guvnors run — and this time, crew members are requesting transfers before rehearsals even start.
“He’s a showman to the audience,” a production manager says. “But backstage? Total diva energy. People would honestly rather deal with Patti LuPone on a bad day.”
EXCLUSIVE: BRAD PITT SAYS ‘NEVER AGAIN’ TO MARRIAGE — EVEN AS HE NESTS WITH INES
Brad Pitt may be head-over-heels with girlfriend Ines de Ramon, but insiders say there’s zero chance of another walk down the aisle.
“He’s told friends, ‘I’ll never marry again,’” one pal spills. “What happened with Angelina left deep scars.”
The couple lives quietly at Brad’s Los Feliz estate, where peace — not paperwork — is the priority.
“Ines respects that,” the source adds. “She’s not pushing. She’s happy just being his person.”
EXCLUSIVE: BRITNEY SPEARS BANNED BY PRIVATE JET COMPANIES — “SHE’S A RISK IN THE SKY”
Oops… she did it mid-flight.
#ShuterScoop hears multiple private jet companies have banned Britney Spears, citing erratic behavior at 30,000 feet — including chain-smoking and ignoring FAA rules.
“She pulls out lighters as soon as the door shuts,” says one aviation insider. “She’s sweet — but totally reckless.”
On one flight from Cabo to L.A., Britney ignored all safety instructions, prompting security to meet her on the tarmac. Though she wasn’t arrested, her name was flagged in industry logs.
“She’s not banned from all jets,” a source clarifies, “but she’s now considered high-risk. Some carriers won’t touch her without a handler.”
