Robert De Niro found it difficult to talk about his role in Silver Linings Playbook without crying.

The accalimed actor sat down with co-star Bradley Cooper and director David Russell to discuss the Oscar nominated film with Katie Couric. Russell's son suffers from Bipolar Disorder, which in turn inspiried the director to make the film. In the movie, Bradley Cooper plays a man with the same disorder.

Host Katie Couric asked De Niro how he related to the film. He began to respond, but found himself overwhelmed by his emotions. After several minutes of fighting the tears and recieving suppo...

Katie Couric and Larry King went on a date together several years ago, and both stars have slightly different versions about what went down at the end of the night.

Couric opened up about the date during an interview on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" earlier this week.  She explained that she went out with King, who is 23 years her senior, while she was living in Washington, D.C. The iconic TV host picked her up in his Lincoln Town Car and treated her to dinner at an Italian restauraunt.

The former "Today" show host, now 56, remembered: "I was about 30 years old and I was in this period of my life w...

On Tuesday, Katie Couric tweeted a photo of herself posing with Tyra Banks on her show "Katie" - and the difference in height was phenomenal.

"I knew @tyrabanks was tall-but seriously???" Couric wrote. The talk show host is 5' 4", while the supermodel is 5' 10" without stiletto heels. The photo makes Banks look like a giant.

Banks recently opened up about her desire to start a family. She told Steve Harvey, "I'm really ready to have some babies. I want babies! I've always wanted them, but I've been saying 'I want babies in three years' since I was, like, 27. And now I'm 28. No, I'm 38."

In response to growing criticism about her weight, Lady Gaga posted an image of herself in her underwear this week, tweeting, "join A BODY REVOLUTION." The photo included the caption: "Bulimia and anorexia since I was 15."

She is just one of many celebrities who have opened up about their struggles with weight and body image. It's no longer uncommon or shocking for a famous person to admit they struggled with an eating disorder.

According to the South Carolina Department of public health, approximately 8 million Americans have an eating disorder – 7 million women and 1 million men. Mean...

Britney Spears is reportedly set to rake in $16 million as a judge on The X Factor, but the incredible amount isn't nearly enough to put her on top of TV's best paid list.

Assuming The X Factor has the same amount of episodes this season (26), Spears would pocket a bit over $615,000 an episode. That makes her the second highest paid per episode in primetime currently - Ashton Kutcher makes $700,000 an episode for Two and a Half Men. She is also far behind predecessor Charlie Sheen's whopping $1.2 million an episode. It would put her ahead of William Petersen's previous salary on CSI ($600,...

Chelsea Handler is a true blue friend. While her BFF Jennifer Aniston takes the high road on the woman who stole her husband, Handler says what Aniston can't -- that no woman should trust Angelina Jolie.

There's still no love lost between Chelsea Handler and Angelina Jolie. The Chelsea Lately host is subversively sticking up for her BFF Jennifer Aniston again -- by dissing the woman many think stole Brad Pitt.

When asked by More magazine what celeb is the total opposite of a "girl's girl," Handler responded with the answer we all know Aniston is thinking.

"Probably Angelina Jolie," she s...

Wake up and celebrate, morning chat show fans! Katie Couric is headed back to rise and shine television -- at least temporarily.

Katie Couric is coming to Good Morning America! For one-week only the former The Today Show host will set her alarm extra early yet again, giving fans the morning scoop while regular host Robin Roberts goes on vacation.

Katie Couric's GMA excitement became evident to fans awaiting the host's return to morning television through her Twitter messages. The 55-year-old wrote Thursday:

"Rise + shine! Excited to be back on morning TV next wk, guest hosting @GMA w/ @G...

We spend so much time admiring the stars who wear their best fashion when out and about, it's only fair to point out those who failed. This time of year, that means they're getting a lump of coal in their fashion stocking!

Charlize Theron appeared at the premiere of Young Adult in this black and white Stella McCartney dress. It starts off okay as a black one-shoulder dress, but it gets progressively confusing as it goes on. Mesh to black, then swirling into a white bottom with bad hem job? We don't get it.

We love Katy Perry's hair, but the pink and black outfit she wore to the launch o...

Nicole Richie is definitely doing her part to help stimulate the economy! Nicole shopped at Santine Boutique in Los Angeles on November 26th for Small Business Saturday where she purchased a Wren sweater and a pair of jeans. Satine also carries Nicoleʼs line House of Harlow.

Meanwhile, in NYC, other celebrities like Katie Couric, Christy Turlington, Chloe Sevigny, and J.R. Martinez also went out shopping at their favorite local stores for this ceremonial kick-off to the holiday season.

In the end, it wasn't just Regis and Kelly, or Regis and Kathie Lee ... it felt more like Regis and everybody. After some 16,000 hours in front of a television camera, Regis Philbin signed off Live! with Regis and Kelly Friday morning.

Ending a 28-year run, the "Farewell Special" began oddly ...

Thanksgiving is a time to reunite with families and be grateful for the good fortune and of course, maul your fellow man for a ridiculous deal on a plasma television. As a lover of pop culture, I’d like to look back on the gems of entertainment that I’m thankful for from 2011.

Beyonce’s Pregnancy

Just when we thought singer Beyonce couldn't be any fiercer, she wordlessly and fabulously revealed her pregnancy at the 2011 Video Music Awards. Since the announcement and the bizarre rumors surrounding the validity of her bump, Beyonce continues to push the fashion envelope and has establi...

If your name was Katie Couric, what would you name your talk show? Katie, perhaps?

Katie Couric has one of the most recognizable names in the world and ABC is apparently banking on her first name to draw viewers into her new talk show.

According to TVNewser, Katie Couric's new ABC talk show is simply going to be called Katie.

Katie Couric is all about interacting with her loyal minions and according to the report from TVNewser, she'll launch a website called www.TalkToKatie.com so fans can stay connected with her.

On top of the world again after charming American Idol fans with his warm and wacky ways, Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler, 63, opens up to PEOPLE magazine in this week's issue about his four kids, eight rehabs, and stunning comeback. What makes Tyler's resurgence all the more triumphant is the rough road he took to get here. "Left up to my own devices," says the singer, "I probably would have been dead several times over."

A rock star with drug problems is nothing new, but Tyler wants everyone to know he wasn't just another junkie. He has had a slew of health problems including a torn ACL...

Fans of the ‘Today’ show of yesteryear might be having a cow right about now, as Bart Simpson would say.

Word on the street – or at least in the New York Times – is that Katie Couric and Matt Lauer might reunite for a syndicated talk show in a year or two.

That’s a big maybe, but surely syndicators’ mouths are watering at the thought. It’s widely known Katie Couric is unlikely to renew her contract with CBS News for her anchor job when her five-year contract expires this summer. ‘Today’ host Lauer is said to be mulling a departure from that program at the end of his contract in December...

Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina has taken aim at the makers of Glee for a second time after they poked fun at her in the latest episode of the hit series.

In the show, which aired on Sunday, newsreader Katie Couric informed Jane Lynch's character Sue Sylvester she had been named one of the world's biggest losers, along with Dina and her dog "Sparky Lohan".

The actress' mom was fuming at the reference and has urged Glee bosses to stop making "hurtful" references and instead produce "nice" scenes.

She tells E! News, "The show has targeted everyone from gays to lesbians, Asians, disabled and...

It was a good good night for the Green Bay Packers, the Black Eyed Peas, and millions of Gleeks who had been anxiously awaiting the show's high profile return after the Super Bowl. In keeping with the sports theme here's a list of the top five highlights from the post-game episode of 'Glee' --

#5) A Sue-Per Journal Entry/ "Diane Sawyer" Interview – It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen/heard Sue Syvlester Sylvester share her deepest, darkest thoughts in a zippy voiceover. Even if the can’t-lose combination of boobs and fire can’t get Sue going, the raccoon hormones aren’t preventing...

The "Glee" cast emerged from their trailers in "Thriller" make-up for the upcoming post-Super Bowl episode, featuring Michael Jackon's classic.

The episode, which will premiere right after the big game, also features an appearance by Katie Couric.

Check out Heather Morris, Naya Rivera, Dianna Argon, Ashley Fink, Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, and Lea Michele below!

Justin Bieber appeared on @KatieCouric to talk about his meteoric rise to stardom since posting a handful of YouTube videos and capturing the attention of music managers.

Justin says he recorded the video for his friends. However, after finding the file was too big to email it to them, he hosted it on YouTube and sent them the link. He realized that it was starting to get popular because it had more views than he had friends. One of his first offers came from Maury Povich, who was turned down by Justin's mom because his problem wasn't "finding out who the father was." Ouch!

But, over here at "TJAGS" we're not going to focus on the bad; instead, let's focus on ten good things that happened during the past year.

Each week the editors at Starpulse will be highlighting the best responses and remarks to news stories and celebrity topics that we've come across.

News Highlights = This week's most rousing and funny comments were made on the latest stories on an incontinent Rapper, a seldom heard of reality star, and a story about two plastic surgery addicts, as well as The latest Starpulse Story about someone’s Placenta.

Topic Highlights = There were some wise and astute comments made about Katie Couric's journalistic credibility and Jillian Barberie's shocking comment as well as, nine reasons ...

Political humor has always been a mainstay of stand-up, late night, and sitcom writers. And the ratings always skyrocket in the year of a Presidential election, thanks to gaffes and guest appearances (and sometimes we’re lucky enough to have a few candidates with a sense of humor).

With every presidential race determined to be the most important of all, it's imperative that we as Americans take a step back and laugh at the process of selecting our President - as well as the "characters" seeking that office.

So who offers the best fodder for the next four years? Let’s take a look:...

Rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs has hit out at U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin again - branding the Governor of Alaska "worse than the boogeyman."

The hip-hop mogul has been urging youths to use their vote in the upcoming elections to help shape their future, and last month branded White House hopeful John McCain as "irresponsible" for choosing Palin. And after watching the politician's interview with U.S. news anchor Katie Couric, the music titan says he fears for the future of U.S. politics if McCain is voted into administration - because Palin bluffed her way through an impo...

Rod Stewart, Dionne Warwick and James Taylor have teamed up with celebrated crooner Steve Tyrell for a tribute to songwriters Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Tyrell, who has a long history with Bacharach and David, has recorded an album of their tunes - and his famous pals feature on the classic "What the World Needs Now."

The track will appear on Tyrell's Back to Bacharach, which is released in June and also features collaborations with Patti Austin and Bacharach himself.

The all-star recording is for a worthy cause - all proceeds will go to the National Colorectal Cancer Research ...

I'm an avid fan of "Survivor." I have been since the first episode of the first season. What's not to love? With the amount of scheming, deception and backstabbing, I always found myself thinking of people that I would want to see wasting away on "Survivor." This list usually included people that I intensely disliked because the experience can be tough on some people.

I have assembled my list of celebrities, historical figures and fictional characters that I would love to have on my island. The latest season had 16 people, so that's the number I'm going with.

NEW YORK (AP) - Katie Couric plans to leave Wednesday for an ambitious reporting trip to Iraq and Syria - the CBS anchor's first time in the war zone - in anticipation of a crucial military report on progress of the American effort.

Couric will anchor the ''CBS Evening News'' from Baghdad next Tuesday and Wednesday, then from Damascus on Thursday and Friday.

Couric will travel throughout Iraq to talk to military and civilian leaders, soldiers and average Iraqis, spending most of her time outside of Baghdad. CBS News would not reveal many specifics of her plans in advance because o...

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - Fox is rolling out two ''news shows'': a sitcom starring Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton as fictional news anchors in Pittsburgh, and an unscripted show starring a former bikini model-turned-anchorwoman in Texas.

Unveiled at a Television Critics Association gathering here this week, both series are meant to deliver laughs - and ratings - but not necessarily headlines. That makes Grammer's job a whole lot easier.

''Based upon my knowledge of most television newscasting now, it has nothing do with the news anyway,'' Grammer said at a Sunday session. '...
