Lisa Ling was on the Nick Cannon Show today, and the host wanted to get The Scoop on some of the famous newspeople that she has worked with throughout her career.
Cannon started it off by asking about Barbara Walters, and Ling adored the legendary newslady. Then she shared a secret about her. Did you know that Walters collects the free soaps and shampoos that you get at hotels? Knowing the hotels she stayed at, you know they were really expensive. So you can’t blame her for taking them.
Ling then talked about how Oprah Winfrey stares at you intensely as she listens to what you are saying. Something that is rare because most celebrities want to talk about themselves. That is why Lady O is considered one of the best interviewers out there.
Anderson Cooper and Ling used to share an office when they worked at Channel One in their early 20a. After work, he would take her to gay bars with him, meet a guy, and leave her there all by herself. How messed up is that? At least drop her off before you hook up.
Finally, Ling talked about her friend Connie Chung. Chung has a knack for knowing which guys are worth dating and which ones you should dump. So when Chung shook her head no, Ling knew it was time to be single again. We all need a friend like that.
And to think those five are all great journalists, and Cannon is on his way to becoming a great talk show host because he got that all out of his guest.

Over the weekend, there were rumors that Nick Cannon is expecting his eighth child with his fifth baby mama because he attended her gender reveal party. Today on the Nick Cannon Show, he confirmed the happy news about two months after delivering the sad news that his youngest son Zen lost his battle with brain cancer.
I bet you are thinking I thought in October that he announced that he was going to celibate for the rest of the year. So how can he be expecting another baby if he isn’t having sex? Is his sperm that powerful? It is potent but not that potent. He explained to Angela Yee that his therapist suggested that he withhold from babymaking practice after he heard that Cannon was going to be a dad again. You see, Brie Tiesi is around 20 weeks along, and he announced his celibacy plan 17 weeks ago.
So, did he keep his pledge? The talk show host admits he almost made it to 2022.
Therefore, if Cannon is back on his back in bed, does that mean the shop is still open for business, or eight is enough for him? He said, “I don’t have a number. I just want to have as many children that I can healthily provide for and be a good father.”
The comedian said that he is not going to lie. It is challenging to be a father to twins Monroe and Moroccan, 11, Golden, 4, Powerful Queen, 1, twins Zion and Zillion, 7 months, the late Zen, and baby #8, a boy.
Those eight children came from five different women. So do Mariah Carey, Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Alyssa Scott, and Tiese all get along? Cannon said they all get along with him, but he doesn’t think because they all had children with him that they should be forced to have to deal with one another. Having said that, they all let their kids hang out with their half-siblings.
Whatever he is doing is working for him, the five women, and their kids, so cut him a break. He is not a deadbeat dad, and he is in all of their lives. How many other dads can say that?

The Nick Cannon Show and The Wendy Williams Show, without Williams, were expected to return to production on January 3rd. However, due to the rising cases of COVID-19, they will be back on January 10th.
Personally, I think they won’t return with live episodes until at least February because I expect to see a jump in cases due to Christmas and New Year’s Eve gatherings. It will be just like last year. Hopefully, it won’t be, but it will be.
I also expect all of the other live talk shows to do the same.
Get the vaccine, wear a mask, wash your hands, and social distance.

Nick Cannon announced on his show today that his 4-month-old son Zen passed away on Sunday from a malignant brain tumor.
Cannon then went on to say that he noticed Zen had breathing issues, so he took him to the doctor. At some point, the baby was diagnosed with brain cancer. At first, they treated him by draining the fluid from his head, and it seemed to be working.
But then, around Thanksgiving, doctors informed Cannon and Alyssa Scott that the tumor was growing rapidly.
This weekend, Cannon spent as much time with his son in California before flying back to do his show in NYC. On Sunday morning, he and Scott took Zen to the beach to see the sunrise. It would be his last one because he died sometime after the sunset that day.
Cannon took yesterday off and returned to his show today. I hope the daytime talk show lets him take some time off if he needs it, which I am sure he will.
My condolences to Cannon and Scott. It is an unimaginable loss that no parent should ever have to suffer.
