How you doin . [ cheers and applause ] as great as the weekend was, i needed it to end when i found out that Randy Jackson was quitting American Idol. I really needed to come here and talk to you. I so needed this. So randy sang goodbye after 12 seasons. Well, hes the last remaining original judge and in true randy fashion, hes prepared a statent, which he gave to us weekly and this is what he says. He says starts his statement with, yo, yo, yo, to put all the speculation to rest, after 12 years of judging on American Idol, i have decided its time to leave after this season. I am very proud of how we forever changed television and the music industry. [ alause ] ohrandy. So reportedly hesnt the only one leaving us because sources say that well, we already now about nicki minaj and the others. Keith urban, it seems like youre scared of everybody. Hes not allegedly going to be staying. Theyre doing a clean sweep of the show except for ryan seacrest. Part of me says, then just cancel the show. 12 seasons, all good things come to an end. American idols ratings are down like 25 , which even with 25 hearse down, the ratings are still monster and American Idol makes millions and millions of dollars for the network and whatnot. Maybe you have to find another multimilliondollar cash cow over there. Whats that guys name, nigel, the executive producer might be out as well . I dont know what to say except this thing with pop stars and singers doesnt seem to be working. While at one point we were thinking that pink would make a great judge, no. And we dont want to see former winners come bac like clay or adam lambert. No. I dont know who they would put at the judges table. And some brilliant person in my hot topics meeting said Wendy Williams wendy no, thank you. It wasnt me. Oh, it was my executive producer, david. David goes, how about if we make us, the fans, the judges, like they do on dancing with the stars, even though i think that was probably rigged also. Instead of us voting, they make us think were voting. But it works. And maybe they can skype in with some of the regular people to talk about how the singing was on point but the hair was wrong. You criticize and we be the judges. I dont know what theyre going to do. But well be watching. [ cheers and applause ] and, randy, unless you take up my idea and start calling simon cowell so that you and paula can join simon at the xfactor, if that doesnt work for you, its time for you to be a behindthescenes dude and produce shows and make things happen. [ applause ] so i thought it was already official but apparently it wasnt. Barbara walters is retiring. Okay. We talked about this several dont you love a black turtleneck . It pulls everything together where youre young or old. It was chilly here in new york. I wear a black turtleneck and black leggings to work today. So Barbara Walters whos 83 has confirmed. I guess we were waiting for her to confirm that she is stepping down from the view and abc news next summer. So i said next as in this is next you mean this summer . Is this a typo in the announcement . They said, no, next summer as in 2014. 9 why are we talking about this already . [ applause ] so but i would imagine she wants to stay at the view through next season so they can warm up to whoevers coming into the joy behar chair. Allegedly hasselbeck is out. Her life turned out better than we thought. She was on that reality show survivor. So her life turned out better than she could ever imagine. And then i guess the only two that are going to be surviving the cut will be the two black girls, my girls [ chrs and applause ] whoopi and sherri are hanging out. Well see who the two new ones are. And shoutout to the makeup room, do it they watch. Okay, great news for the lohan family. And we very rarely say this. First of all, lindsays in rehab safely tucked away at the betty ford center. [ appuse ] although word on the street is that she kind of wants to flee because they won given her her prescription for adderall. If youre like me and need to catch up on the newfangled thing all the kids are doing, adderall is the pill version of cocaine. They tell me, you can lose wait on it and it also makes you really focus. People say, ive got add, then they get these prescriptions for adderall anthen they get tned out on it. Lindsay needs her adderall and betty ford is saying no. Why would you want your add rat when the only drug you should be allowed in rehab is caffeine in coffee and nicotine from the cigarettes, outside, by the way. And dont put your butts in the bushes. But the good news for the family is that the rehab center wants to have counseling with the whole family. So betty ford wants her parents to participate in Family Therapy and dina lohan says shes not going to do it until michael not until he pays her the Child Support that he owes. She said that and michael turned around and wrote that check, 30,000 [ cheers and applause ] 30,000 michael has paid his Child Support. So the whole family is going to participate in getting lind say well, which is terrific. And theres just one other thing besides the jonesing for adderall that concerns me about her being in rehab and that is that shes got a familiar face just down the hall. Its charlie sheens ex, brooke mueller, who is also in betty ford at this particular time. This is broos 20th time in rehab and lindsays sixth time. If they can keep them apart from each other, maybe the rehab thing will work for both of them. Thats all. [ applause ] man, things are really heating up between Bradley Cooper and his new girlfriend, that british model. You dont know anything about her. She doesnt come from the pricewaterhouse family or Something Like that. Her daddy, i dont know what she does. Shes just a girl whos 20 years old. What does a 20yearold and a 38yearold have in common . Well, thats what i thought. Nothing, a little action. Here goes bradley falling in love, talking about marriage and kids with suki. Hes really smitten with this girl. But his mother, gloria, wants to split them up. Weve talked about bradley and his relationship with his mom, gloria. Gloria allegedly thinks that suki is using bradley to launch her career. Duh what does a 20yearold care about an old man whos 38 . If anything, you should talk to your son about catching feelings too fast with an an alleged opportunist. And while were at it, it is time for your mother to move out of the house, ive been talking to you about this. The only girl whos ever going to put up with that is a 20yearold girl who has no sayso in the house. Gloria lives in the house. Bradleys father passed away a couple of years ago. It was a nice gesture to move gloria into the house. But gloria is a young woman. She should be able to date and have her own life. And it would be more healthy if terms of your love life if you moved her out of the house and in a condo across town. Give her a bentley and a driver and shes good. In the meantime, gloria overheard suki talking to her friends on the phone about how well, i dont know that it was on the phone. But in my mind, it was on the phone about how shes really digging bradley and the whole bit. Cant you picture gloria with a glass up to the wall listening there in the house . Its just not healthy, bradley, to have your mother ling there he said its not a compound. Its like a house like me and you live in. And then your mother living anyway, good luck, suki. Good luck, bradley. Good luck, gloria. [ applause ] kobe bryants mother probably didnt have the best mothers day on account of theres dissension in the family. I was telling you last week that kobe is suing his mom, pam, thats her down there, right looks a little like donna summers, the late, great. Suing his mom, pam, to stop her from selling memorabilia that kobe allegedly left at pams house. But my rules are, if you leave it at my house, then its mine. [ applause ] youve got like 72 hours to claim your crap before i start wearing it. This is a cute sweater that you left. Pam allegedly received 450,000 in advance because of a restraining order that prevents pam from selling the remaining items. And im thinking, this is kobe being jerky. We never read anything about them having a bad relationship for anything. I was wondering, what is the root of this relationship . Well, thank got for twitter. Because kobe got on twitter and shared with us all exactly what his relationship is with his mother. Youve got to read between the lines. And if youre watching at home, notice how ever word gets bigger. When you give, give, give and they take, take, take, at what point do you draw a line in the sand . Hurt beyond measure, gave me no warning, love, question mark. Well, if youre like me, you thought that kobe had an amazing relationship with his mother and father and that he at the root of him, he is like a moms boy, not in an unhealthy way like Bradley Cooper. But in a healthy way, like a moms boy and loves his family and that whole bit. So im surprised to hear these revelations. Im even more surprised that hes ma them so public. Ms. Pam, your son is kobe bryant. As long as you attempt to do right by him, you will always be taken care of. I think its time to put the brakes on the auction but dont give back the stuff. Get things right with your son and ask him if you can sell the stuff and maybe hell say yeah. Thats all. [ applause ] i got up yesterday like 00 in the morning and i went out to the store because thats what i wanted to do for my mothers day, i wanted to run out to the store, got a couple of coffees and drove over to my mom and dads house. I gave my mom a card and some gifts, none of which i bought because we gave away everything free here on the show. Thats okay. Her birthdays coming up next monday. But weve been giving away some really good stuff. I brought her all my magazines. Like me, my mom loves reading the magazines and one that caught both of our eyes was Kerry Washington on the cover of the je elle magazine. [ cheers and applause ] oh, my gosh and one day, im going to be up in the club with these party pants right here. This is part of my dream outfit to the club. Surprisingly, this is kerrys first appearance on a fashion magazine cover. Can you believe that . I know, i was gagging, too. You give good supermodel in cutoffs. She and David Alan Grier will be here tomorrow. And later on is the Season Finale of scandal on thursday. Speaking of good stuff to give away, its now time for our hot stuff giveaway. [ cheers and applause ] lets e what it is.
