They were quick to announce David Letterman’s replacement, but the search to fill Craig Ferguson’s seat on “The Late Late Show” has been dragging on for months now. The Wrap was first to report that CBS has found their guy, and just like Craig, he ain’t from around here! He is British theater, film and TV star James Corden. He’s very well known in Britain, and soon to be well known here!

Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed have only been dating a hot minute, but they’ve already adopted!!! It’s not what you think. Ian posted a picture of him loving on this beautiful horse and captioned it, “Proud new dad…What amazing creatures they are. Wow. His name is Eagle. Thatnk you @iamnikkireed for snapping this special moment, with our big baby boy.” Adopting a horse together??? Celebrities are weird.

Kanye West gave a sworn deposition when he was questioned about beating up a photographer and smashing his camera. TMZ got ahold of the transcript. During questioning, Kanye said — under oath! — “I’m the smartest celebrity you’ve ever (BLANKING) dealt with. I’m not Britney Spears.” (BLANK) you, Kanye!!! You’re a jerk!!!

Joe Jonas and his longtime girlfriend Blanda Eggenschwiler have broken up. His rep says it was “amicable” and that they’ll “remain friends,” but a source told RadarOnline that Joe has NO plans to keep in touch with Blanda because she is CRAZY. She was constantly picking fights and putting Joe down and he finally had enough of it. That source says Joe’s family is thrilled because none of them liked Blanda anyway.

Nicole Murphy blasts Michael Strahan for cheating on her when they were “on a break” she didn’t know about and chooses to leak the information the minute he’s being inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame. But wait one minute there, missy!! TMZ has photos of Nicole with former NBA player Jim Jackson getting snuggly at a resort in Puerto Rico, and these were taken in early July — the same time Nicole claims Michael cheated on her when they were “on a break.” Busted!!
