Keith Olberman Settles Lawsuit With Current TV

Keith Olbermann’s legal war with Current TV has reportedly ended. The perennially perturbed personality filed a $50 million lawsuit upon his termination from Current one year ago. He will indeed receive a ” significant payout .” The exact amount will not be known until it’s leaked in a few hours. In his legal complaint, Olbermann accused Current co-founders Joel Hyatt and Al Gore of being “dilettantes portraying entertainment executives.” He claimed they breached his contract in all sorts of ways, forced him to work in substandard conditions and even sought to smear him in the press. The alleged dilettantes in question can afford to pay whatever it takes to make the case go away, having sold Current to Al Jazeera for $500 million. The network is being overhauled and will become Al Jazeera America. Seriously. Olbermann’s also working on a reinvention, again. The former ESPN and MSNBC mainstay is reportedly looking for work, but no one’s bitten since October. Wonder why.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Stands Up for Gwyneth Paltrow, Hates on Gluten

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is standing up for Gwyneth Paltrow. By coming down hard on gluten. The View co-hosts got into a debate this morning over Paltrow’s upcoming book, ” It’s All Good ,” in which the actress offers up a slew of carb-free and gluten-free recipes . “I do believe that there is a growing number of people with gluten intolerance, not just celiac disease, like myself,” said Hasslebeck. “I do think it causes inflammation in the body, whether you are celiac or gluten intolerant or not.” The former Survivor contestant herself, in fact, has penned a pair of gluten-free cook books. Hasselbeck – who is NOT leaving The View – added that she noticed a significant improvement in her overall health since she cut this item out of her diet. “I’ve been on the diet for 10 years,” she said. “I’ve never felt better.” But even more than any disdain for gluten, Hasselbeck wanted to make a clear point regarding Paltrow and her beliefs: “She could do whatever the heck she wants. She’s a mom, those are her kids, do what you want.”
