Capri Anderson -- Charlie Sheen's Girl Doing 'GMA'

Published | Updated

Capri Anderson -- the girl who was with Charlie Sheen on the night of his infamous NYC hotel meltdown -- is prepared to tell the world her story ... by appearing on "Good Morning America."

Sources tell TMZ Anderson flew into NYC on Friday and will tape an interview with GMA on Saturday. We're told the interview will air on Monday.

According to our sources, Capri will give her side of the story of what went down that night -- she'll be joined by high-powered attorney Keith Davidson. We're told Anderson has retained Davidson as her attorney and is weighing her civil options.

Sources tell us that during the interview, Capri will paint a picture that is much more violent than what has been reported so far.

Sheen was hospitalized in NYC last month after he tore apart his posh hotel room.

'GMA' Has No Problem with Miley's Gay 'Kiss'

Published | Updated

Miley Cyrus is no Adam Lambert ... at least according to "Good Morning America."

After simulating a girl-on-girl kiss while on "Britain's Got Talent" two weeks ago (bottom left), the 17-year-old pop sensation performed on 'GMA' today (top).

Interesting move ... considering they banned Adam Lambert from performing back in November after he kissed a male band member on the American Music Awards (bottom right).

Translation: Heterosexual underage female singer simulating a lesbian kiss = good. Gay male singer actually kissing a man = bad.

Sam Champion Clash Over Tornado Coverage

Published | Updated

"Good Morning America" weatherman Sam Champion made a cameo appearance on a local Oklahoma newscast this morning -- when he was caught bitching at a news crew on live TV.

It all went down near the crumbled remains of a local gas station that was knocked over when a tornado hit Oklahoma City yesterday. The crew from KOKH was doing a live shot at the scene, when Champion -- who was setting up to do a shot at the same gas station -- came into frame.

Champion -- clearly pissed that he was being shot by another crew -- started to bark orders to the KOKH crew to get "back" and then shoved his notebook in front of the camera to block the shot.

While the KOKH camera continued to broadcast live from the scene, Champion -- who was once again in the shot -- told the crew, "You know the deal." The KOKH cameraman can be heard saying, "What deal?"

Champion responds, "You know where you're supposed to be ... so be there. It's alright ... it's all good ... so just be there."

Generally, news crews don't shoot outside talent as a professional courtesy -- but it was a live shot at the scene of a disaster.

So the question is ...

Adam Lambert: I Respect GMA's Decision, But ...

Published | Updated

Adam Lambert takes issue with "Good Morning America" for pulling the plug on his post-AMA/mouth-to-crotch performance -- so he tells Ryan Seacrest.

Lambert's revenge is CBS's "The Early Show" -- which he'll appear on tomorrow.

As for having a guy "snorkel" in his crotch -- as Ryan put it on his radio show this AM -- Adam admits he got carried away, but he's "not a babysitter" and kids shouldn't have been watching TV that late anyway.

Lambert's AMA Gig Leads to GMA Cancellation

Published | Updated

The people who didn't like Adam Lambert's "American Music Awards" performance won't have to worry about a repeat performance on "Good Morning America" -- cause that gig is canceled.

Leading a guy around on a leash and kissing another was apparently too much for ABC. A rep for the show told TV Newser, "Given his controversial live performance on the AMAs we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning."

Ironically enough, Lambert announced he was gay on "20/20" earlier this year -- which airs on ABC.

'GMA's' Chris Cuomo Is a Cheap Date

Published | Updated

Sam Champion should have gone dutch -- because when it came time for his "GMA" co-anchor Chris Cuomo to buy the two of 'em shakes at an NY GNC, Cuomo went with "whatever's cheapest."

Robin Roberts' Surgery a Success

Published | Updated

"Good Morning America" co-host Robin Roberts successfully underwent surgery to treat breast cancer yesterday, and the 46-year-old GMA gabber is reportedly already home from the hospital. This past Tuesday, Roberts announced on-air that she was diagnosed with the disease, and revealed that GMA film critic Joel Siegel's battle with cancer prompted her to get checked out.

Her revelation resulted in an outpouring of support -- and an increase in women seeking mammograms and breast exams.

A rep for "Good Morning America" said that while her surgery was successful, doctors don't yet know the long-term impact.

Is Diane Ditching 'Good Morning America'?

Published | Updated

Diane Sawyer skipped out on a party thrown for Chris Cuomo, Sam Champion and other "Good Morning America" staffers last Friday -- and a source says that it's a sure sign that the news diva is planning on leaving the show soon.

Just as the competition heats up with "Today" after Meredith Vieira's arrival, a Sawyer sayonara could be a difficult blow to the ABC morning property. "The staff took Diane's absence as a clear message she is leaving the show," says a source to Rush & Molloy, "and is slowly starting to separate herself from it." Sawyer, say the columnists, had just arrived from interviewing Mel Gibson in his first post-DUI sit-down.

But an ABC rep dismisses any notion of Diane leaving: "She was sick in bed. She called [ABC News chief] David Westin and ['GMA' producer] Jim Murphy to see if she should still come. They urged her stay home."

GMA Signs New Weatherman Today

Published | Updated

TMZ has learned New York TV personality Sam Champion will become the new "Weather Anchor" for ABC's "Good Morning America."

Sources say the deal will be inked today. Champion, who did the weather for WABC in New York for 19 years, will leave the station for the network gig beginning the first week in September. We're told Champion will do double duty for WABC on the 5 and 6 p.m. newscasts until the station finds a replacement.

Champion, the perennially boyish blond TV fixture, has been a fill-in weatherman countless times on GMA. He's also substituted for Regis and Larry King on their respective shows.

We're told GMA will make weather a significantly more important part of the show -- hence, Champion's new title, "Weather Anchor."

New York represents seven percent of the national TV market, and Champion's popularity makes this a big get for the Alphabet network.
