Regis Philbin is exiting stage left of Live! after 28 years and three different co-hosts. Announcing his departure on Tuesday morning’s show, Philbin will film his last episode at the end of the summer.

“It’s been a long time, it’s been 28 years since I’ve been here. And it was the biggest thrill of my life. Everything must come to an end for certain people on camera, especially certain old people.” (People)

It’s a sad, sad day for the retired who tune in to watch a 79-year-old jabber on and on about various topics. Who will they relate to now?!

Eva Mendes has been cast to headline the indie mockumentary Live! directed by Bill Guttentag.

The movie is seen through the lens of a documentary film crew, as it follows an ambitious president of programming Katy (Eva Mendes) who attempts to produce a highly-controversial reality TV show in which has contestants competing for 5 million dollars by playing Russian Roulette with loaded guns live on the air.

Sounds like a great concept to me. At least a few people still have their originality. Plus, if Eva Mendes is dressed anything like this in the film, then count me in. I’ll bring the box of Kleenex.
