The net has been abuzz with speculation since word broke that Kardashian Queen Kris Jenner and "Steve Harvey Morning Show" funnywoman Sheryl Underwood are joining "The Talk" team. The story was that they were replacing Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete, not Sharon Osbourne, who is taking a break from the talker. But reporters may have spoken too soon ... or not.


Leah Rimini is indeed out, having tweeted the news herself late Thursday: "It is official: I am sorry to say that I have NOT been asked back on the show. Sorry to my fans. U worked so hard! I adore u guys." Later, she added, "No reason was given."


"Truth is I have still not officially been released ... " Holly tweeted. "Devastated by the news that @LeahRemini was not asked back to @TheTalk_CBS. She brought humor, heart and authenticity."

With fans tweeting support to Remini and Peete, it seems Deadline may know something Peete doesn't "officially" know. CBS isn't talking "The Talk" exits, but a source close to the show confirmed to MSN TV that Kris Jenner and Sheryl Underwood are indeed joining the team, in different capacities -- and the math doesn't add up for Peete.


NO! Leah was the only reason why I watch this show. She is funny. I don't want Kim Kardashian's mom (of all people) replacing her

Wow! After one season?

I think Kris Jenner would fit in perfectly. Not sure about Sheryl Underwood. LOL! My cousin said that she is actually intelligent and laidback, but I would have to see it to believe it. I loved her since Comic View.

WOW! The Talk has lost a viewer? I liked Leah & Holly

Rumors have been floating around that Julie Chen’s attitude is forcing the ladies to leave “The Talk”.

I think the cast was near perfect as it was. I loved Leah Kris Jenner is a terrible replacement.

So basically, the women with entertaining personalities are leaving? Of course, Julie Chen think she owns the show because her husband is the CEO of CBS.

I think Julie is still mad that Holly won HoH and put her up on the block and that her ass got evicted against Leah.

Holly was the most entertaining one out of the group, Leah could be entertaining at times but she tends to scream and really overtalk the other ladies at times. This show will always be seen as the flop version of The View anyway.

Sheryl Underwood? Really? They are reaching deep.

That was ****ing hilarious!!

Makes me wish there was a Celebrity Big Brother in the US
