WACKY Whoopi Goldberg stunned viewers when she incredibly cried poverty on The View — despite sitting on a $60 million fortune! Now sources say the ridiculous rant gives producers more ammunition to blow up the current cast as viewer complaints roll in about the highly paid, tonedeaf hosts! “Whoopi pulls down a whopping $8 million a year and she’s complaining on the air that she NEEDS to work — while much of America is living paycheck to paycheck!” spills a source. Her comments come at the same time that loudmouth liberal cohost Sunny Hostin blamed “uneducated white women” for Kamala Harris’ landslide loss in the recent presidential election. “It’s like these women live in another reality,” snitches the insider. Goldberg recently raised a stink when she claimed that a New York…

TODAY top dog Savannah Guthrie is celebrating Craig Melvin being named the replacement for outgoing cohost Hoda Kotb because the promotion of her handpicked yes-man cements the power-hungry diva’s control over the morning show, tipsters tell GLOBE. “Savannah has worked a long time for this moment,” an insider dishes. “She’s been patient — and maybe even a little ruthless — but she got what she wanted. It’s a testament to how smart she is!” As GLOBE previously reported, sources snitch that savvy Savannah, 52, and fellow Today mean girl Jenna Bush Hager, 43, gave on-air rival Hoda the cold shoulder for years to drive the fan favorite out the door!

The project, which is set to premiere next fall on CBS, will follow a country star who takes aspiring singers on tour to see how they fare with local fans before picking the “king” of The Road. “Nothing would please him more than to make this the biggest music competition show on the air!” snitches a TV insider — even though Blake’s wife, Gwen Stefani, is still a coach on The Voice. Blake, 48, says the old show changed his life and he’s learned from his experience on it — and thinks a fresh format will…

NASHVILLE outlaw Morgan Wallen was the big winner at the recent CMA Awards but was nowhere in sight on country music’s biggest night! Industry insiders say the winner of the coveted Entertainer of the Year is more concerned about keeping a low profile than in basking in the spotlight as he prepares for a different appearance — in a courtroom! The 31-year-old Love Somebody singer was arrested and charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment in April after throwing a chair off the sixth-floor balcony of fellow country star Eric Church’s downtown Nashville bar, nearly clocking two metro police officers on the street below. “Morgan’s people have made it clear to him that he needs to appear serious about the charges, and whooping it up in Nashville could send…

TEEN American Idol sensation Triston Harper’s bombshell mic-drop is flummoxing fans — he recently revealed that at the tender age of 16, he has married his 17-year-old girlfriend Paris Reed, and they’re already expecting a baby! Now sources say some worry that he may be growing up a little too fast. “Triston had a fantastic run on Idol and he should be capitalizing on that, lining up high-profile gigs and a recording contract,” sings a source. “Instead, he’s got to worry about being a kid raising a kid and starting a family. He’s gonna have his hands full — and it might be more than he can handle!” Harper, a Native American who became one of the youngest Top 5 finishers in American Idol history this past season, proudly dropped…
