Elton John will marry longtime partner David Furnish

Elton John and longtime partner David Furnish are getting married. John spoke on the Today show Monday as part of a two-part interview, and the wedding announcement will air on Tuesday. Same-sex marriage was legalized in England and Wales this weekend, and John says the two might marry as early as this May. "We'll do it very quietly," the singer says of the ceremony. "But we will do it and it will be a joyous occasion." "I'm very proud of Britain and the laws hat we've seen come into existence since we've been together," John continues. "For this legislation to come through is joyous, and we should celebrate it." "We shouldn't just say, 'Oh, well we have a civil partnership. We're not going to bother to get married,'" the singer says. "We will get married." John and Furnish have been in a civil partnership since 2005, and have two children together, Zachary and Elijah. The star also spoke on Today about the 40th anniversary of his album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and says he loves music "as much now as I did [then]."


Josh Elliott will leave 'Good Morning America' for NBC Sports

ABC anchor Josh Elliott will leave Good Morning America for NBC Sports. Elliott announced his decision on Sunday after months of heated negotiation with the ABC network. He has been with Good Morning America since May 2011, and ABC News correspondent Amy Robach will replace him as anchor on the show. "As many of you know, we have been negotiating with Josh these past several months," ABC News president Ben Sherwood wrote in a staff email. "In the end, Josh felt he deserved a different deal and so he chose a new path." Elliott has taken an offer at NBC Sports and will provide coverage at the network's signature events, including the Triple Crown horse races, the Olympics and Sunday Night Football. He will not, however, replace any of the current sports analysts or talent. Elliott tweeted his congratulations to Robach on Monday, calling her a "most deserving colleague" and a "dear friend." Fellow Good Morning America anchor Lara Spencer decided to remain with the show last week, and has finalized a long-term deal with the ABC network.

Chelsea Handler to end E! show

Television host and comedian Chelsea Handler won't renew her contract with E! when it expires at the end of the year. Handler has hosted Chelsea Lately on the network for eight years, but has long been dissatisfied with the relationship, The Hollywood Reporter said. "Chelsea intends to leave when her contract expires. She hired me to figure out her life after E! We have at least seven suitors and many ideas," Handler's manager, Irving Azoff, said. He said her future plans could include a radio show, or possibly a nightly or weekly show on another network. A spokesperson for E! declined to comment on the news. "Chelsea has nine months left on her contract and E! will not comment on the future of Chelsea Lately at this time," said the spokesperson, whose name wasn't reported.
