Comedian/Actor Tracy Morgan is headed for divorce court. Morgan, a veteran of Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock and now The Last OG , walked down the aisle with Megan Wollover five years ago. It was also a milestone as Morgan was a year-out of the fatal Wal-Mart truck accident that claimed the life of his friend and fellow Comedian James McNair and saw Morgan build back from rehab after five months in a wheelchair. Of course, Wal-Mart settled with Morgan for a huge sum. Wollover was there by the comedian’s side. She saw him through the crash, rehab, the dealings with Wal-Mart and the police investigations, plus building his career back. Now comes word from Morgan himself of the divorce. This is just after the comedian spoke about being home with family and staying safe from the great equalizer COVID-19. He’s asking for privacy. He and Wollover share a 7 year old daughter, and Morgan has three other children from a previously relationship.

There’s a huge change coming for O magazine but first a 20-year tradition for the magazine has been broken. For the first time in its history, Oprah Winfrey is not on the cover of O magazine. That distinction goes to the late Breonna Taylor, the 26-year old Louisville EMS worker, who was shot and killed by police in her own home. O is acknowledging Taylor’s death and the deaths of other African American women at the hands of police or in police custody and directs readers on how to help spur justice for them. That issue of O magazine with Breonna Taylor will be available August 11th.

In more O magazine news, the successful magazine is going the way many other stalwart periodicals have gone….digital. O will end its regular monthly publishing after December. Oprah Winfrey partnered with Hearst and created O in 2000. A Hearst spokesperson says O will become more digital, but there will still be some form of print for the brand. At press time those details haven’t been finalized.

The drama with Ellen DeGeneres’ daytime talk show has stars picking sides. DeGeneres’ production is under investigation by its parent studio Warner Brothers due to accusations of a toxic workplace including sexual misconduct, racism and sexism. Comedian Kevin Hart defended DeGeneres as always being kind and supportive to him. DeGeneres publicly supported Hart after he came under fire for homophobic jokes and stepped down from hosting the Oscars. Oscar Winner Diane Keaton, Singer/Songwriter Katy Perry and Actor Ashton Kutcher have released statements of their positive experiences with Ellen. Everybody Loves Raymond Actor and Comedian Brad Garrett sided with the accusers and tweeted Sorry But It Comes From The Top. Garrett also stated he knows multiple people treated badly by DeGeneres. Now comes public support from former Ellen Show DJ Tony Okungbowa, but not for the star, for the workers. Okungbowa says he’s been getting calls asking about his time on the show, which was two tours of duty in 2003-2006 and in 2007-2013. Okungbowa says he was grateful for the opportunity, but did experience a toxic atmosphere and he stands with his former colleagues in their efforts to make a better work environment. OUCH. Ellen’s wife Actress Portia de Rossi did release a statement of thanks and support to the fans, but Ellen herself is lying low for now. Meanwhile the show, which was already being done virtually because of COVID-19, has taken a hit in the ratings. Can the show recover? Will Ellen speak out?
