Jon Stewart slams Obama: His problem wasn't body language, but 'mouth language' -- VIDEO

Sorry, Big Bird: Jon Stewart thinks Mitt Romney unquestionably won last night’s first presidential debate. ”I’m sure President Obama now realizes, ‘Oh, preseason’s over. I should probably familiarize myself with my presidency, and learn some of the various numbers and things that go along with it,’” the Daily Show host told Good Morning America‘s Lara Spencer today.

And Stewart didn’t stop there. “It wasn’t so much [Obama's] body language as the mouth language that he was using,” he explained, citing the president’s frequent pauses as a tic that made Obama not seem “present” in the debate. He compared Obama’s strategy to the tactic Muhammad Ali famously used in his 1974 “Rumble in the Jungle” match against George Foreman: “It’s the rope-a-dope, but instead of letting your opponent punch himself out, you just get beat up.” READ FULL STORY »

Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts will undergo a bone marrow transplant today to treat myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

During this morning’s broadcast, GMA featured a clip of Roberts in the hospital, where she’s been for 11 days. Sitting in her bed, Roberts said, “This journey is as much about the mind as it is about the body,” and “Thoughts are so powerful. You’ve got to change the way you think in order to change the way you feel.”

“I feel the love,” she concluded. “And I thank you for it.”

The show then featured an in-studio interview with one of Roberts’ doctors, Dr. Gail Roboz. “This type of therapy over the last week has been much more intensive,” Roboz said about Roberts’ treatment. “This [is] really trying to empty out the bone marrow cells and get rid of the immune system cells so that the new ones from Sally-Ann [Roberts' sister and donor] can come on in.” READ FULL STORY »

Backstreet's back -- for real this time! -- with GMA appearance: VIDEO

I know what you’re thinking: “Didn’t the Backstreet Boys, like, just reunite? And do a concert tour with New Kids on the Block? EW’s Sandra Gonzalez wrote a great review of it last summer? That did happen, right?”

Yes, Cam Jansen, you’re partially correct; the Boys were back in town last year, “town” here being another word for “arenas around the country.” But the BSB that teamed up with NKOTB wasn’t complete: Kevin Richardson, the group’s oldest member, left the guys six years ago to pursue a solo goatee-growing career. This April, Kevin announced that he’d be rejoining his old posse — meaning that the concert BSB performed on Good Morning America a few hours ago was the band’s real reunion show.

And what a reunion it was!  READ FULL STORY »

Robert Pattinson on 'GMA': 'I'd like my fans to know... '

Robert Pattinson appeared on Good Morning America today to give his second post-KStew interview — and, once again, he got through the proceedings without directly speaking about the scandal. Pattinson appeared a bit more relaxed when chatting with George Stephanopoulos than he did Monday night on The Daily Show. But the heartthrob still stammered and squirmed a bit when Stephanopoulos asked about his personal life, even though She Who Must Not Be Named was never invoked directly.

Stephanopoulos began by taking a leaf out of Jon Stewart’s book, offering Pattinson some comfort food — in this case, a big box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, which is Pattinson’s favorite — before getting down to the nitty gritty. “Everybody just wants to know, how are you doing?” the GMA host asked. “And what do you want your fans to know about your personal life?”

Pattinson took a fortifying sip from his mug before giving his answer: “You know, they seem pretty excited about… whatever,” he said with a grin, indicating the throngs outside the GMA studio with a tip of his head. “I’d like my fans to know that… Cinnamon Toast Crunch only has 30 calories a bowl in it, for instance,” he continued. “Pretty much everything that comes out of my mouth is irrelevant.”

Sylvester Stallone opened up about the death of his son, Sage, in an interview on Good Morning America this morning.

Sitting for a pre-taped chat along with The Expendables 2 co-stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham and Dolph Lundgren, a somber-looking Stallone acknowledged that the past month has been hard. “It’s tough. It’s very tough … it’s a horrible situation,” Stallone shared.

He followed that up by saying, “Time, hopefully, will heal, and you try to get through it, but it’s… a reality of life. I think it’s important to get back and start reliving your life. Otherwise, you can go into a spiral.”

Readers can check out the full interview, where Stallone and others also chat about who the strongest of them all is, over at GMA’s website. READ FULL STORY »

Set your DVR, or just turn on your televisions at the right time: Robert Pattinson is coming to Good Morning America on Aug. 15. Pattinson is ostensibly on the show to chat about his upcoming film Cosmopolis. But since the interviewers generally hope to move beyond just movie promotion, we want to suggest a few more topics that might get the heartthrob to open up a little.

1. The Olympics — Surely, Rob is proud of his country for hosting the Games and his fellow countrymen for their performances.

2. Canned or dry dog food? His adopted puppy Bear has to eat! READ FULL STORY »

'Good Afternoon America' premiere: What did you think?

ABC, I think you have something here.

Monday marked the debut of Good Afternoon America, a chat show/news program hybrid that plucked Good Morning America personalities Lara Spencer and Josh Elliott from the background and tossed them into the forefront. The result? A fun, fresh-yet-familiar daytime program that was pretty successful, considering it was the first show.

Sure, it was rocky. (They cut off guest Liza Minnelli!) Sure, the segments need refining. And sure, they were clearly a little nervous, But I adore this pair. As on GMA, Elliott’s laid-back demeanor and Spencer’s bubbly (but not overbearing) personality complemented each other. Once they have time to get comfortable in their new roles, I think this GMA cousin will really click.

What can I do without? The lame, View-like roundtable, which was complete with a “Hot Topic”-like theme. I mainly took issue with the topic — Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ reported conflicted spiritual beliefs. The subject seemed a little low-brow for the pair, and I didn’t buy that the hosts were interested in it either.

GAA is currently slated for a limited run (until Sept. 7), but I saw potential for more. With Katie Couric’s self-titled talker debuting in fall and General Hospital planned for 2 p.m., would you like to see room made for more GAA? Did you like it better than The Chew? The Revolution? Nevermind. Of course you did. READ FULL STORY »

'Good Morning America' takes viewers to One World Trade Center, which will be NYC's tallest building -- VIDEO

by
Tags: , , , TV

Six years of construction. 37,000 tons of steel. A 186-foot concrete base. Over 100 floors. An eventual height of 1,776 feet.

The numbers behind One World Trade Center — the building formerly known as the Freedom Tower — are impressive. But all you really need to know about that still-unfinished building is this: As of tonight, it will again be New York City’s tallest skyscraper.

Good Morning America‘s George Stephanopoulos traveled to the tippy-top of the tower this morning, taking a perilous journey that involves two elevators and a series of sheer vertical ladders. (So far, lifts only go to the tower’s 90th floor.) After climbing 1,200 feet, he chatted with a few of the crane operators who have been working to build 1WTC steel beam by steel beam. Their involvement is especially poignant because each was an eyewitness to the devastation of 9/11 — and according to one, “not a day goes by” that he and his coworkers don’t think about the events of that catastrophe.

Meet the teens behind 'Hot Problems': 'We don't really think we're that hot'

Breaking news from EW’s Department of Hot Girls: Drew Garrett and Lauren Willey are the long-haired high schoolers responsible for “Hot Problems,” a homemade music video that makes Rebecca Black’s “Friday” look like Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” So, what possessed these two — known collectively as Double Take — to promote their own attractiveness on YouTube, thereby inviting hundreds of thousands of catty Internet commenters (and pop culture bloggers) to mock them? Were they trying to become viral sensations? Is either one under the delusion that she might be able to make it as a singer? And finally, do they really think they’re that hot?

In a word: No. The pair concluded a whirlwind media tour today by discussing their video with Good Morning America‘s Abby Boudreau. In the interview, Hot Girl Lauren — she’s the one on the right who sort of looks like Kristen Schaal — explains that the duo just wanted to make “something fun to show our friends. We really didn’t mean anything from it.”

Adds Drew, a.k.a. The Other One, “We knew we couldn’t really sing.” READ FULL STORY »
