Naughty But Nice says Stephen Colbert allegedly offered to take a pay cut in order to save his late night show. A source tells the website, “He told them, ‘If it helps the crew, take it out of my paycheck’. Stephen wasn’t posturing — he was serious. He kept the show going through COVID, through the writers’ strike, and through constant executive drama. He gave CBS everything. They gave him a deadline. Stephen thought loyalty mattered. He offered them his money. They gave him a pink slip. They let him believe the show was safe — and then they blindsided him.” CBS says 35,000 people have signed a petition opposing the cancellation of Stevens talk show

They’re trending for apologies, flubs, and feuds — not the comedy.’’ Fallon makes $16 million a year while Kimmel earns $15 million a year.

Geo TV says Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are allegedly heading towards an amicable divorce after living separately for months. An insider reveals, “Justin and Jessica have been over for months, ever since his DUI arrest. She just got sick of him, and they’ve been leading separate lives for months. Everyone in showbiz knows it, and the official divorce papers are going to be filed soon. But it’s the worst-kept secret in showbiz, and nobody in Hollywood is going to be surprised by this. It’s already old news. It’s the culmination of years of tension, growing distance, and separate lives. Things between them feel really tense at the moment. They’re heading in completely different directions. When Justin gets back to LA, there’s a serious conversation waiting for him. Jessica just wants to make things formal and work out a statement to stress it was amicable and mutual – even though it’s very much been one-sided and it’s her decision to end things.”
