We’ve gotten multiple views of her in Playboy. Now, a source tells Us Weekly that we may soon get a glimpse of her on The View. Jenny McCarthy is reportedly in ” serious talks ” to join the ABC talk show, considering her own program on VH1 isn’t exactly racking up the ratings. McCarthy, a single mother, would replace Joy Behar, who is leaving The View in August. “The cast and crew get a kick out of Jenny,” says a set source. “She’s a good fit. She may not be able to carry a show, but she works well with a group ensemble.” Do you agree? Would McCarthy be a solid addition to The View? Yes, what a great choice! No way! View Poll »
For all you Smallville fans out there, here’s hottie Erica Durance on The Marilyn Denis Show promoting Season 2 of her new series Saving Hope . I don’t know if you guys remember, but last time we had Erica and her show on the site, it was with some shots of her in her bra . With writing that good, I’m kind of surprised they didn’t win any Emmys, but I’m glad to hear the show got picked up for another season anyway. I’m a little disappointed Erica didn’t bring a new clip to play though. Or just that old one. If I were in charge of the network, I’d run a Saving Hope marathon of just those 30 seconds on repeat. But I guess not everybody shares my programming genius. And NBC wonders why they’re 4th in the ratings. » view all 11 photos Photos: WENN.com

Gun violence has actually plunged in the U.S. since its peak in the middle of the 1990s, according to two new studies of government data. At the same time, a majority of Americans believe it is on the rise . Gun crime statistics are comprised of murders, assaults, robberies and other crimes, and the Pew Research Center found that they’re down overall. In less than two decades, the gun murder rate has been nearly cut in half, their research suggested, while other gun crimes fell even more sharply. This parallels a broader drop in violent crimes committed with or without guns, which peaked during the 1990s and has fallen sharply since then. The decline has been more modest since the turn of the century, but overall, the number of gun killings dropped 39 percent between 1993 and 2011. The Bureau of Justice Statistics reported in a separate study released Tuesday that gun crimes that weren’t fatal fell by 69 percent in that time. However, guns still remain the most common murder weapon in the U.S. Also notably, despite this measurable drop in gun crime, only 12 percent of Americans surveyed believe gun crime has declined compared with 1993. Twenty-six percent of those polled said they believed that it had stayed the same in the past two decades, and 56 percent thought it had increased. It’s unclear whether media coverage is behind that, but crime has become a growing focus of TV news, and several recent events have been extremely high-profile. From the Connecticut shooting to the Aurora movie theater massacre, the Boston bombing and beyond, it’s hard to escape coverage of the worst tragedies. Also, while the rate of violent crime is down, it’s got a long ways to go. While violence has dropped, the United States still has a higher murder rate than most other developed countries, though not the highest in the world. Experts have no simple answer for why violent crime is down, attributing it to everything from a diminishing crack cocaine market to surging prison populations. Some researchers have even linked dropping crime to reduced lead in gasoline, which can cause increased aggression and impulsive behavior. Victims of gun killings are overwhelmingly male and black, according to Bureau of Justice Statistics and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Compared with other parts of the country, the South had the highest rates of gun violence, including both murders and other violent gun crimes.
The Dawg has left the building. Amidst historically low ratings and criticism that American Idol has grown stale, Randy Jackson resigned this afternoon from the Fox competition. “Yo! Yo! Yo! To put all of the speculation to the rest, after 12 years of judging on American Idol I have decided it is time to leave after this season,” Jackson told E! News. “I am very proud of how we forever changed television and the music industry.” Jackson went on to say he plans to focus on his company, Dream Merchant 21, as well as “other business ventures.” Ratings for Season 12 of Idol have been decreasing each week and there’s been talk that all four judges would have been replaced this summer even if Jackson did not leave on his own. Producers are reportedly hoping to assemble some kind of dream team that includes Justin Bieber and/or Selena Gomez .
NBC was not Ready For Love after all. The dating series, which has aired only two episodes, has been canned and will be replaced by Grimm in the network’s maligned Tuesday, 10 p.m. slot. It is unclear where or when remaining episodes of the Eva Longoria-produced dating show, a convoluted knockoff of The Bachelor , will air. Despite its powerhouse lead-in with The Voice , Ready For Love had a shaky premiere in the ratings, then dropped significantly in its second airing. So long, RFL .
It’s been a very tough year for Matt Lauer. The Today Show host has come under extreme fire for how he and NBC fired Ann Curry , while his program has sank to second in the ratings behind Good Morning America . Speaking to The Daily Beast about the departure of his ex-colleague, Lauer admits it didn’t exactly go smoothly. “I don’t think the show and the network handled the transition well,” says Lauer . “You don’t have to be Einstein to know that. It clearly did not help us. We were seen as a family, and we didn’t handle a family matter well.” Today is still struggling to recover, as Lauer says the series has been “kicked around a lot” but a lot of the damage has been “self-inflicted.” Having been the top-rated morning program for 16 years, Today now draws nearly one million fewer households than Good Morning America on a daily basis. What has led to this reversal? “We want people to feel good about a portion of their morning and we got away from that,” Lauer said, adding that much of the darkness is gone, by design.” Lauer concludes, however, that he’s the “luckiest guy I know” and he hopes to use the ratings decline as motivation: “Who’s going to feel sorry for me? Nobody. In some ways being number-two in the ratings is a real shot in the arm, a kick in the pants. It makes you hungrier – I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have a fire lit under your ass.”
