MICHAEL STRAHAN BLINDSIDED KELLY RIPA ... NO WARNING

0419-mike-kelly-mike-tmz-getty-01

Michael Strahan dropped a bomb on co-host Kelly Ripa after their show Tuesday ... telling her for the first time he was leaving their show.
Sources connected with the production tell TMZ, Michael sat down with Kelly and Executive Producer Michael Gelman at 10:30 AM and let them know he was leaving 'Live' for 'GMA.'
We're told Kelly and Gelman were "stunned and upset" at the news. And, we're told, since no one on the show had advance warning, there is absolutely no plan on replacing Michael.
In Michael's defense, this was a top secret move on Disney's part, orchestrated by CEO Bob Iger. Sources connected to the deal tell us Gelman might not be aware of the replacement plan, but Disney absolutely has one ... and it assured Strahan of that. 
Kelly has a history of being kept in the dark ... remember, she was enraged when Regis didn't give her a heads-up either.

But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j
