ABC Cancels Two Longtime Soaps From Daytime Lineup
By not in system - AOL NewsNEW YORK -- ABC canceled two of its three soap operas on Thursday, consigning "One Life to Live" and "All My Children" - and Susan Lucci, daytime's most famous actress - to television history. The move leaves "General Hospital" as ABC's only daytime drama, one of only four that will remain on ABC, CBS and NBC's daytime schedule. Soap operas have slowly been fading as a TV force, with many of the women who made up the target audience now in the work force. In place of the two canceled dramas, ABC will air shows about food and lifestyle transformations. Brian Frons, head of ABC's ...

Opinion: 6 Ways to Improve the Oscars Next Year
By David Fagin - AOL NewsWhen the biggest moments this year were Melissa Leo dropping of the F-bomb and a feisty Kirk Douglas, maybe the Oscars should start calling themselves "The Felixes"? To think, this is a show that honors some of the most deranged and spoiled members of our society -- actors -- and last night's telecast was the first time a bad word had ever been uttered in its history? No wonder the shows are so boring. Even Sesame Street is more edgy these days. And, let's face it, when everyone already knows the outcome, the Oscars are just too clean, too proper and too late for the Internet ...
The Oscars: Young, Pretty, Snarky, So Who's Watching?
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyBy now you've probably heard about that cute pair who will be hosting the Oscars -- James Franco and Anne Hathaway, he with his flirty eyes, she with her princess smile -- both pretty, lean, chirpy, young. They've dominated the entertainment and morning news shows, the celebrity magazines, and the Oscar chatter. There is, of course, a reason for that. They are supposed to be creating a new image for the 83-year-old Academy Awards ceremony: youthful, flippant. cute, but elegant, too, and supremely attractive. During this months-long Oscar season, which ends on Sunday night on ABC, one ...

Thursday night, he used Twitter to help make sure that fans knew it would be Nair's final show. Accordingly, some of them woke up at the alarmingly early ...
Sherri Shepherd Helps a Homeless 'Gladiator'
By David Moye - AOL NewsTwenty years ago, when Debbie Clark was known as "Storm" on TV's "American Gladiators," she was a fearless warrior in spandex. She needed nobody's help. Earlier this week, AOL News found Clark in a homeless shelter in San Diego.

In the days since the story came out, several people have stepped forward to help, most notably Sherri Shepherd, co-host of "The View," who has promised to pay six months' rent for the former "Gladiator," along with gas ...
PBS the Most Trusted News Outlet, Fox the Most Distrusted, Poll Finds
By Mara Gay - AOL NewsWhat a difference a year can make. According to a new Public Policy Polling survey, a majority of Americans say they don't trust Fox News, just a year after the same poll found that the conservative-leaning network was the most trusted major outlet. This year, however, Americans surveyed said they trust PBS much more than Rupert Murdoch's cable outlet. Asked to rate a number of different news organizations, 50 percent of those polled said they trusted PBS as a news source, while just 30 percent said they did not. In contrast, Fox News had a much less favorable split, with 42 percent of ...
