If the rumors of Elisabeth Hasselbeck's imminent departure from The View are true, it sounds like she'll have no problem landing on her feet!

After all, homegurl IS a survivor! Ha!

With Soledad O'Brien and Roland Martin recently getting the axe, it looks like new network president Jeff Zucker is playing a little game we like to call Extreme Makeover: CNN Edition! A source close to the situation says they are definitely looking to fill some of these open anchor positions, and Elisabeth could be on their short list:

Anchors Away! Ann Curry, Chris Cuomo & Diane Sawyer Are Causing A Stir!

Filed under: TV NewsBusiness Blitz

Ann Curry Chris Cuomo Diane Sawyer Moves

The world of news is getting a shake up!

And it starts with many news fans’ sweetheart Ann Curry.

The former Today show cohost is still looking for a news program to call home despite rumors that CNN was trying to woo her.

It seems it isn’t so as new CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker is so Team Matt Lauer as a source revealed:

“Ann has been sainted because of what happened to her [on Today]. The fact is … she definitely can't carry a prime time show.”

Don’t say that about our Ann! She can do whatever she wants!

But at the end of the day, whether or not she can carry a show, it comes down to money as CNN would be unwilling to match her current hefty salary with NBC.

We’ve all known about Ann’s ongoing dramz forever now, but she ain’t the only one facing some change.

While CNN might not want Ann, they do have their eye locked on 20/20 co-anchor Chris Cuomo.

But don’t worry Ann, he wouldn't be stealing your job. CNN wants him for a morning show as a source explained:

Matt Lauer Is NOT Leaving Today

Filed under: TV News

Matt Lauer Not Leaving Today Show

Rumors have been circulating that Matt Lauer plans on leaving Today when his contract expires in 2012.

In fact, sources have even named ABC's Chris Cuomo as a possible replacement should Matt Lauer decide to leave.

However, Today's executive producer, Jim Bell, is called the rumors "ludicrous" in a recent interview and calls the reports simple "speculation".

When asked if Matt Lauer had informed the producer about his plans to depart the show in 2012, Bell responded:

"Absolutely not. I think that one is more ludicrous. When we're talking about something that is almost two years away, it's silly speculation. I think it's great that the show can generate this much attention and passion out there but we're fortunate that so much of it has been wrong and misguided."

He seems like a pret-ty good authority on the subject matter, so we'll trust this guy when he says Matt Lauer doesn't have any plans to go anywhere.

And why would he? Today has just reached a record 800 consecutive weeks as the #1 morning news show!

Congratulations! That's A LOT of consecutive weeks, but we're sure the show has plenty more of #1 weeks ahead!

Would U like to see Matt Lauer leave Today? If so, where or what do U think he should do instead?

Chris Cuomo Up For Lauer Gig?

Filed under: TV News

Chris Cuomo Ready For Lauer Position

Chris Cuomo seems like he's been passed up too many times when it comes to the amount of experience he has and number of prime open host/anchoring positions that have been open for him. These things have happened oddly often, without much rhyme or reason.

The good news is that he seems to finally be the frontrunner to replace Matt Lauer for Today, should he decide to bounce!

He pretty much deserves it after these shenanigans:

He'd been the news anchor on the show — and frequent fill-in host — for three years and had widely been expected to be named co-host with Robin Roberts when Diane Sawyer left the show to become the anchor of the evening newscast. But he lost the "GMA" job to George Stephanopoulos — and was moved to a weekly job as host of the primetime magazine "20/20," a consolation prize of sorts. He was just as unhappy when ABC hired former MSNBC anchor and lawyer Dan Abrams last February as its new legal reporter.

We think he's done a fab job so far, and is the perfect choice for this spot. He has our support!

Chris, good luck! We're pulling for you!

Do U agree he'd be great??
