Every star will tell you the best ego check in the world is hanging out with their family. They don’t care who you are, except when you’re passing out concert tickets or buying them an expensive Christmas gift. It’s something LUKE COMBS has noticed, and he’s okay with it. “It’s no different than when I went home five or six years ago. I visited my grandma [and] she still watches her soap opera every day at noon. “I came in and she was like, ‘Well, what do you want for dinner? Do you want Chinese food or burgers?” He’s just another family member at the Thanksgiving table. “I try not to talk about music. If it comes up, fine, but most of the time we just hang out and around the new little cousins and stuff.”
JULIE CHEN announced her departure from “The Talk” yesterday. She gave a statement in a pre-taped video that played at the end. She said, “Right now I need to spend more time at home, with my husband and our young son, so I’ve decided to leave ‘The Talk’ . . . I will always, always cherish the memories we shared.” She thanked each of her co-hosts. Then she said, “I love you all, and I know this show and the sisterhood it stands for will live on for many, many, many more years to come. You ladies got this, and I cannot be more proud to call you my friends. I love you.” Julie’s departure was kind of a foregone conclusion after her husband, LES MOONVES, was pushed out as the head of CBS over multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.
