We could NOT be any more thrilled, thanks to Marie Osmond!

The iconic entertainer, who was raised as a Mormon, has long looked beyond her religious beliefs to support her openly gay daughter Jessica Blosil, who came out as a lesbian at the age of 17!

But now that the fight for marriage equality is STRONGER than ever, Marie is once again speaking out on its behalf, and spoke to ABC and Diane Sawyer about how important it is for our country to secure EQUAL RIGHTS for every single person living here…and why she is able to reconcile that belief with what her church teaches!

Ch-ch-check out her powerful and inspirational words (above)!

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:

Two years to the day after a gunman killed six and wounded 12 in a supermarket parking lot, the Arizona congresswoman injured in the horrible attack is making new headlines.

Former Rep. Gabby Giffords was shot in the head and nearly killed on January 8th, 2011, but she boldly refused to become a victim and relearned how to walk and speak!

Now the retired lawmaker and her astronaut husband chat with Diane Sawyer in a follow-up interview to discuss the two-year anniversary and their plans for the future.

Ch-ch-check out ABC's teaser (above) where Gabby and hubby Mark Kelly discuss their new initiatives on gun reform, an especially critical topic in the wake of the Sand Hook shootings.

We're sooo proud of the way Gabby rebounded from this awful tragedy and we can't wait to hear what she has to say tomorrow!

If not for the quick-thinking and bravery of Kaitlin Roig, there is a very real possibility the unfathomable casualty count at Sandy Hook Elementary School last Friday could have been even higher.

When the shooting began, the lovely young first-grade teacher quickly ushered her 15 students into the classroom closet and urged them to be quiet.

In an interview chilling enough to make even the most world-weary cynic cry, Diane Sawyer discusses with Kaitlin (above) the unforgettable moments between when Adam Lanza fired his first gunshots and when the police arrived to safely lead her children outside.

This shooting was masterminded by one heinous villain, but, as details from this tragedy slowly come into focus, we're realizing Newtown, Connecticut is a community filled with dozens of astonishing heroes.

We honor the courage and selflessness of those teachers, administrators, first responders, and classmates who helped prevent even more parents from burying their children this week.

Pink slime manufacturers have had major BEEF with ABC News after they told the truth behind the icky additive they put in their meat.

And as a result, a U.S. beef processing company sued them, then sent the suit to Federal Court… and now, the director of a South Dakota-based processing plant, Bruce Smith is suing the news agency because

Just now waking up, sleepy bear?

Well don't you worry that mascara-riddled faced off, cuz we've got all the #Election2012 news for you right here!

And no, we're not just talking about President Obama's re-election. …even though those 303 electoral votes were pretty fabulous. And so was that speech!

We're talking about Colorado legalizing recreational marijuana!

We're talking about the American masses, even celebrities, going out to rock the vote!

Yes, even after Beyonce wrote her beautiful letter to Barack, the country was still able to sizzle hotter with election day fire!

O wrote a letter of his own to a bullied, young daughter of two fathers.

South Park predicted

Last night was a historical one on MANY levels, with the re-election of President Barack Obama!

However, it seems the Prez’s inspirational victory speech got a bit upstaged by one particular person in the background, who ended up diverting our attention with an American flag… sticking out of her HAIR!

The woman — who is now known as Hair Flag Lady or Flag Head — looked a little familiar to us — could it have been none other than Oprah Winfrey?!

Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

Ha! Okay, maybe not, but we think we might have a few more ideas of her true identity… AFTER THE JUMP!!!
