Renee Zellweger's New Man Has Legal Issues

Posted Feb 9th 2009 1:00PM by TMZ Staff

After multiple failed relationships with musicians -- like Jack White and Kenny Chesney -- Renee Zellweger has finally found a stable dude with a day job ... NBC legal analyst Dan Abrams.


The two lovebirds cuddled at a place where most healthy relationships blossom -- a liquor store in NYC.

Abrams to Lauer: I Gotcho' Nacho

Posted Feb 3rd 2009 9:23AM by TMZ Staff

The "Today" show booked Dan Abrams for a "serious" segment about Olivia Newton-John's "missing" ex-boyfriend -- but once Dan brought up an eyewitness named "Nacho" -- the banter got really, really cheesy.


Enjoy! Al Roker sure did.

Huge Change at MSNBC

Posted Jun 12th 2006 12:36PM by TMZ Staff

TV personality Dan Abrams has been named General Manager of MSNBC.

The stunning announcement means Abrams will no longer host his afternoon legal show, 'The Abrams Report' on the network.

It is a bold move that no one saw coming.

Abrams, who graduated from Columbia Law School, became a commentator and host for Court TV, then moved to NBC where he made a national name for himself during the extremely tight presidential election of 2000.

Dan Abrams -- Smart move for MSNBC

Posted Jun 12th 2006 12:36PM by TMZ Staff

MSNBC has made a bold move by appointing Dan Abrams chief honcho at MSNBC.   Based on what I know, it's a smart move.

Dan and I have been friends for a dozen years.  He'll probably be mad at me for saying this, but sometimes I'd give him career advice as we worked out at a gym in New York City (not that I'm wiser than him, just older).

Dan is incredibly smart and he's not tainted by the corporate network culture.  He's not the kind of guy who believes in convention for the sake of it.  MSNBC has some great talent -- Keith Olbermann, Allison Stewart and Chris Mathews for starters.  They need someone with programming/business sense to package it all effectively.

Dan has a penchant for business stuff.  I remember there was a time when he was thinking of opening up a wine shop in NYC.  He really impressed me with an elaborate business and marketing plan -- wine, TV, whatever.  it's all the same.

There's a great book out called Desperate Networks.  The premise is that all these established network heads passed on the biggest hits out there, including 'Idol.'  I think it's a great move to take someone fresh, who's smart and untainted and give him a shot.   

I've got a good feeling about this move.
