Matt Lauer may have some competition when it comes to being the hunkiest fella on morning television, as George Stephanopoulos is making sure he's in tip-top form to add some sex appeal to 'Good Morning America' ... should he join up. In other news, Gwyneth Paltrow is giving pals the gift of intestinal cleanliness for the holidays. All that good stuff, plus why the Tiger Woods magazine cycle is going to be here for a very long time. The Dish After the Jump!Morning Hunk-Off Between Lauer and Stephanopoulos
Waking up with that adorable, six-pack-baring Matt Lauer has been something that 5.62 million of us have been doing for a long, long time. However, with the expected announcement any day now that George Stephanopoulos will be joining 'Good Morning America,' your mornings are about to get a good deal hunkier.
"George joining the 'Good Morning America' team will give them the best chance of finally beating 'The Today Show,'" an insider said referring to the 1.26 million more viewers 'Today' currently has. "George is no fool. He knows the majority of the morning viewers are females and he's not above using a little sexual chemistry to tempt them over to ABC."
George, who is happily married to funny lady Ali Wentworth, has already been sweating it up at the gym to turn up the heat against Mr. Lauer, and "he will be working out a little harder now. Don't be surprised if that handsome smile of his gets a little whiter before his debut," laughed a source.
So, Matt ... you've been warned. We have been your morning hubby for a long time, so maybe a little competition will be healthy for our relationship after all.
Gwyneth Wants You to Do Some (Internal) Holiday Cleaning
Friends and family, Gwyneth Paltrow is concerned about your Christmas-time colon. So much so, that I hear the super-healthy Oscar winner is thinking of giving pals a holiday surprise in the form of Colon Hydrotherapy gift certificates this year. In the dark about colon hydrotherapy? To get to the bottom of it (ha ha!), a little investigation revealed it's when filtered water is introduced (see: pumped) into the colon to soften and loosen waste (see: poo) resulting in evacuation (see: #2). Apologies! Naughty But Nice is nothing if not scientifically informative.
Tracy Piper at M.A.R.C Holistic Center, who recently performed a colonic on 'The Tyra Banks Show' and is rumored to have provided services for Gwyneth herself, refused to confirm any of her clients. However, she did say: "It's the perfect holiday gift from a thoughtful friend. It costs $150 a session but will make you feel like a movie star."
If a clean colon means an Oscar-winning movie star, we expect Jennifer Aniston will be booking a week straight.
Tiger Beat: The Never-Ending Magazine Cycle
Unfortunately, I have more bad news for troubled Tiger Woods. Last week's People and Us Weekly magazine covers with the golf legend plastered all over were huge sellers. That means this story isn't going anywhere soon. "Once you sell that many magazines in one week, you're going to be on the covers again and again until you stop selling. It's simply demand and supply," an industry insider explained. "Tiger is the new Kate Gosselin, who broke the record by appearing on seven consecutive Us Weekly covers."
"If Tiger keeps selling like last week, he might break her record," my insider says.
Eight weeks of Tiger? I can't ... I'm begging you. Pick up a copy of Life & Style this week and show its cover girl Sandra Bullock some love. Together, we can stop this Tiger madness.

I don't think that Matt has a THING to worry about. I can't stand George OR his wife.

Someone has to explain to me why these two nerds are considered hunks ? Then again how the quasi lesbians and liberals on 'The View' consider Obama a hunk? Semper fi

Make up your mind ABC. You had a chance to sex it up with Adam Lambert, but you threw that one away. George is about as sexy as a kitty cat. That's a thin line your walking. Does sex sell or not?

George just emailed me laughing that he was heading to the gym right now......he's a funny guy.

I don't think that George is a good fit for this type of program. Too bad - Sorry Chris, Robin and Sam, I'm going to have to switch chanels. ABC has some serious problems with programming & etc.

George ????? Who picked him for co-host? He is not "sexy" and I do not find him attractive. I will not watch GMA if it's George. They should have Bill Weir or Chris C. for co-host.

I cannot agree more with the highest rank people. Heard this morning talk about Chris and being in shape. All us morning GMA watchers love him.OR Bill Weir, (good too) but George is NOT IT. PLEASE someone tell me the producers read these things because no one wants this.
So no worries Matt about working out or any of the stuff said in the article; we will all be watching you or CBS.

Hey Travis
You want to vote for George?
Benedict Arnold ?; ; in my opinion, a traitor
he cannot be trusted for anything.

George is so UGLY and creepy...Who is the moron that thinks he's hot? Is it a gay guy who thinks George is sexy? George is so GROSS he looks like a neanderthal and if ABC does hire him for Chris' job they'll lose their regular viewers. Matt...sexy? EWE! ICK! (but Matt is better than George) Chris Cuomo has it goin' on the job should be his - he earned it! ABC, Hire George and lose your viewers!

WHO WANTS TO WATCH ROBIN AND GEORGE, TWO GAYS FLUFF IT OUT IN THE MORNING? WHO IS THE IDIOT RUNNING NEWS AT THAT NETWORK?

The re-shuffling of the GMA cast feels like "New Coke". Chris and Robin had obvious warmth and chemistry. George is stiff and awkward. Further, most of us don't want to be hit over the head with "hard news" at 7:00 a.m.
Goodbye, "GMA", Hello "Today"!

I have been blessed with the gifts of vision and aptitude. Therefore, I am able to research, read, and inform myself about the issues that affect me, my country and the world. It matters not to me who reads a teleprompter, or for that matter, how many telephone books it takes to make a man of diminutive stature appear larger.
The issue at hand is about trust. Stephi is a tool of the MSM.
