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.

Hillary Clinton Gains Double-Digit Lead Over Donald Trump in Key Battleground States

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has built up a significant lead in several crucial battleground states, according to new NBC/WSJ/Marist polling released today. Clinton has generated double-digit margins in Virginia and Colorado with 13-point and 14-point advantages over Trump, respectively. The poll also showed Clinton with leads over Trump in Florida and North Carolina. In the Sunshine State, Clinton has a 5-point edge among registered voters. In North Carolina, Clinton enjoys a 9-point advantage. Losses in these states could be devastating for Trump. The Republican nominee’s clearest path to the White House requires wins in Ohio and Florida, where Hillary Clinton has a slight lead, as well as North Carolina and Pennsylvania, where he trails by a broad nine percentage points. Trump has been plagued by controversy since his party’s convention three weeks ago, clashing with the father of a fallen Muslim soldier, refusing to endorse House Speaker...

Ten Things I Wish I Knew When I Started 'Deus Ex: Mankind Divided'

Photo: Eidos Deus Ex: Mankind Divided  is finally out today, an early embargo revealing pretty solid reviews, including my own 8/10 good-not-great score. I love the series, but I just wanted the sequel to evolve a little more than it did. With that said, what it does carry over from  Human Revolution  is welcome, and I enjoyed my time with the game overall. As always, when I get to play a game this early, I try to impart wisdom I’ve learned for those who are just starting out. This is a game where you have to make a lot of fundamental choices about both the story and which upgrade path you pick, so it doesn’t hurt to get some early guidance. There’s a lot to say, but I’ve narrowed it down to a handful of points for your consumption. Here are the ten things I wish I knew when I started  Deus Ex: Mankind Divided : 1. There Are At Least Two Ways To Do Almost Anything Deus Ex: Mankind Divided , like its predecessor, is a game about choice. ...

Bitcoin value falls off cliff after $77M stolen in Hong Kong exchange hack

Many investors holding BTC sell holdings in wake of Bitfinex hack. The value of bitcoins plummeted 20 percent after almost 120,000 units of the digital currency were stolen from Bitfinex, a major Bitcoin exchange. The Hong Kong-based exchange said it had discovered a security breach late Tuesday and has suspended all transactions. Bitfinex added that it was working with law enforcement to investigate the theft and planned to resume operations despite the hack.“We are investigating the breach to determine what happened, but we know that some of our users have had their Bitcoins stolen. We are undertaking a review to determine which users have been affected by the breach.

It said any settlements for “open margin positions, associated financing, and/or collateral affected by the breach” will be ...
