Jerry Lewis, who has tirelessly hosted the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s annual Labor Day telethon — for the past 45 years — is retiring.
The comedian issued a statement today, via the MDA, in which he said it was time for a “new telethon era.”
Lewis will appear for his final telethon on September 4, and will end as he always does by performing, “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
Still, Lewis will remain the MDA’s national chairman, a position he’s held since the 1950s.
His first telethon in 1966 was carried by only one New York station and raised more than $1 million.
Last year’s telethon brought in nearly $59 million for muscular dystrophy and ALS research.

Rumors that Kim Kardashian is pregnant have returned thanks to MediaTakeOut, which posted a misleading image that makes it seem like the reality TV star could be expecting.
“It appears that she’s gotten herself KNOCKED UP!!” yells the site, commenting on “what appeared to be an OBVIOUS BABY BUMP.”
Well, it’s true that Kardashian seems to have a bit more belly than usual in the single photo MTO chose to run.
Except Gossip Cop looked at all of the photos from that night, and Kardashian is bump-less in the rest.
“Funny some website today put up a PHOTOSHOPPED pic of me &made my belly huge &said I’m pregnant!” tweeted Kardashian herself this afternoon.
“NOT TRUE &u can google to see the real pics,” she added.
While we’re not sure anything’s been photoshopped, per se, after looking through the photos – some of which show her holding a drink -Â Gossip Cop knows there’s definitely no pregnancy bump.
From every other angle, Kardashian looks trim.
In fact, the only thing flatter than her belly is MTO’s reporting.
Kim and Britney Spears wore the SAME dress this weekend – check out the photos here!

Demi Lovato has come a long way since checking into rehab last fall for treatment of emotional and physical issues.
The singer-actress, who’s been incredibly open about her struggle with eating disorders since leaving rehab, tweeted today, “I’ve been working so hard to get healthy and fit… I can’t believe I’m about to do this but I’m so excited… Here’s my bikini time body!” along with a self-taken photo of her posing in a white bikini.
Lovato told followers, “I never thought I’d ever feel confident enough to ever to that. I’m excited how far I’ve come since being completely ashamed of my body,” adding, “I want any girl/guy out there who struggles with body image or confidence to know that it IS possible to find peace with yourself.”

Do not invite Piers Morgan and Hugh Grant to the same dinner party.
Morgan just slammed Grant on Twitter, and publicly banned him from his show, “Piers Morgan Tonight.”
The CNN host tweeted, “Hugh Grant is now banned, in perpetuity, from @PiersTonight and Life Stories. And anything else I ever do. Tedious little man.”
Morgan, a former editor of the British paper News of the World – which recently paid out Sienna Miller for allegedly hacking into her cell phone – was ticked off by an interview Grant did today with BBC Radio host Richard Bacon.
In the 10-minute long exchange with Bacon, Grant, who himself had his phone hacked, unleashed his distaste for England’s tabloids.
The Love Actually star said, “The tabloid press is completely unnecessary… We don’t need them, we don’t want them, and the sooner they go out of business the better.”
Morgan, who we’re told has a longstanding feud with Grant, apparently took personal umbrage to the actor’s statements, further tweeting, “Listening to Bishop Hugh Grant telling @richardpbacon he wants popular newspapers eradicated. I feel the same about his crap movies.”
But tell us how you really feel, Piers.

Earlier we got some news about the 2012 election, so why not take a look back at 2008?
HBO’s Game Change recreates the historic events around President Obama’s campaign against John McCain, and today the first photo of Ed Harris as McCain has been released.
Gossip Cop sees a pretty strong resemblance (larger version below).
How do you think it compares to Julianne Moore’s approximation of Sarah Palin (see below) for the same film?

Donald Trump will NOT run for President in 2012.
The “Celebrity Apprentice” star and real estate mogul just released the following statement:
***** Â Â ***** Â Â ***** Â Â *****
FULL STATEMENT:
“After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency. This decision does not come easily or without regret; especially when my potential candidacy continues to be validated by ranking at the top of the Republican contenders in polls across the country. I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election. I have spent the past several months unofficially campaigning and recognize that running for public office cannot be done half heartedly. Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector.
I want to personally thank the millions of Americans who have joined the various Trump grassroots movements and written me letters and e-mails encouraging me to run. My gratitude for your faith and trust in me could never be expressed properly in words. So, I make you this promise: that I will continue to voice my opinions loudly and help to shape our politician’s thoughts. My ability to bring important economic and foreign policy issues to the forefront of the national dialogue is perhaps my greatest asset and one of the most valuable services I can provide to this country. I will continue to push our President and the country’s policy makers to address the dire challenges arising from our unsustainable debt structure and increasing lack of global competitiveness. Issues, including getting tough on China and other countries that are methodically and systematically taking advantage of the United States, were seldom mentioned before I brought them to the forefront of the country’s conversation. They are now being debated vigorously. I will also continue to push for job creation, an initiative that should be this country’s top priority and something that I know a lot about. I will not shy away from expressing the opinions that so many of you share yet don’t have a medium through which to articulate.
I look forward to supporting the candidate who is the most qualified to help us tackle our country’s most important issues and am hopeful that, when this person emerges, he or she will have the courage to take on the challenges of the Office and be the agent of change that this country so desperately needs.
Thank you and God Bless America!
Donald J. Trump”

Just yesterday, NBC’s entertainment chairman Bob Goldblatt had expressed hope that Trump would not run, but that NBC was prepared to replace him if need be.
Now that won’t be a problem.
What do you think about Trump’s decision not to run?
