Late-night hosts show solidarity with Stephen Colbert
Jimmy Fallon said he was "just as shocked as everyone" and Seth Meyers called him a great host and comedian but an even better person.
John Oliver said he was excited to see what Colbert and his team would do during the final 10 months of the program.
Jimmy Kimmel directed an expletive at CBS, and Andy Cohen said it was a sad day for the network.
As for US President Donald Trump - a frequent target of Colbert's comedy - he said on Truth Social that "I absolutely love" that Colbert was "fired".
Some of the reaction from the late-night world:
JOHN OLIVER
* "I love Stephen, I love his staff. I love that show. It's incredibly sad. I am partly excited to see what they're going to do for the next 10 months. It's terrible, terrible news for the world of comedy. Late-night shows mean a lot to me, not just because I work in them, but because even growing up in England, I would watch Letterman's show, which of course was Stephen's show, and think about what a glamorous world that was. So to have got to be on Letterman's show and Stephen's show has been always one of the most fun things, so it's very, very, very sad news. I look forward to seeing what he's going to do next because that man will not stop." - the HBO Last Week Tonight host during an appearance in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
JIMMY FALLON
* "I'm just as shocked as everyone. Stephen is one of the sharpest, funniest hosts to ever do it. I really thought I'd ride this out with him for years to come. I'm sad that my family and friends will need a new show to watch every night at 11.30." - the NBC Tonight Show host, on Instagram
SETH MEYERS
* "For as great a comedian and host (as) he is, @stephenathome is an even better person. I'm going to miss having him on TV every night but I'm excited he can no longer use the excuse that he's 'too busy to hang out' with me." - the NBC Late Night host, on Instagram
JIMMY KIMMEL
"Love you Stephen." - the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host, on Instagram
ANDY COHEN
"It is a very sad day for CBS that they are getting out of the late-night race. I mean, they are turning off the lights after the news." - the Watch What Happens Live host, in an interview
Late-night hosts have been voicing their support for Stephen Colbert after he announced CBS will cancel The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in May.

Kerry Katona 'exhausted' with trolls saying she's under the influence
Kerry Katona finds it "exhausting" when people assume she's still on drugs. The former Atomic Kitten star - who has been open about her struggles with addiction and substance abuse - has been sober for over 15 years, and she admitted online trolls bringing up her past can get to her. She wrote in her column for new! magazine: "I get abuse and negative comments all of the time on Instagram. "Every time I have hay fever and sniff, people accuse me of being on drugs - it's exhausting." Last week, Louis Tomlinson stepped back from X after "hurtful" comments on the social media platform. He wrote: "The last few months have made it impossible to be on here. "All the conspiracy chat about my relationship, my son or even stretching sometimes to opinions on my [late] Mum. "It's just too much and too hurtful for me to see! Thank you to everyone who always has my back!" Responding to his post, Kerry said in her column: "I saw that Louis Tomlinson decided to quit X after receiving some hurtful comments, which I think is awful. "People can be so cruel for no reason and it's a real shame." Kerry insisted her approach is always to make a public show of defiance rather than stepping back, but she knows that's not always easy. She added: "If I was Louis, I wouldn't have let the trolls win by coming off X - I think it makes more of a statement to show it doesn't bother you. "But I do understand it's hard and, sometimes, removing yourself from the situation is the best thing you can do." Meanwhile, Kerry - who five children with three ex-husbands - previously opened up on how even her kids have "issues" of their own after growing up on the spotlight. She wrote in new! magazine: "It's so difficult to bring up children in the spotlight because it's like they're being catapulted into a different world. "They aren't famous themselves but have been brought up in a world of fame and people look at them differently for that. "I know my children have found it hard and they definitely have some issues that have arisen fro it."

Jennifer Lopez admits 'some' celebrity brands aren't 'worth the hype'
Jennifer Lopez has admitted "some" celebrity brands aren't "worth the hype". The 55-year-old star has been busy answering some fan questions about her JLo Beauty brand, and acknowledged that some people are justifiably sceptical about famous faces lending their names to products. In an Instagram video, she addressed a question from a fan who said: "I tend to think celebrity skincare is not worth the hype." She replied: "Some of it isn't. It's luxury skincare that is clinically tested and trust me, I don't cut corners." The Jenny From The Block hitmaker was also asked about how some producers are "too expensive", but she insisted it's worth the investment if you can afford it. She said: "Listen, I get it. "Your skin is something that you have to show up with every single day. So, if there is a little bit of splurge in you, I would say do it on skincare, without a doubt. Other fans heaped praise on the brand, noting her moistueriser "feels like silk". J-Lo explained: "We want it to be like cashmere for your face, but make it clinically tested." And when another user insisted JLo Beauty "actually works", she replied: "Yeah, that was the point. You thought, what? I came to play? No." The singer and actress also shrugged off the idea she only uses her producers "just when the cameras are off", and revealed she was actually filming the video in her own bathroom. She laughed: "That's funny because I'm standing in my actual bathroom right now. No, I use it. I use it every day." JLo Beauty launched in 2021, initially with eight products although others have been introducted over the years. She previously told PEOPLE (The Show!): "Everywhere I went, I felt like everybody was always asking me about my skin. And as I got more mature, the questions came more often. "It was actually very nice, but I realised that it was almost like an obligation. Like I had to put out a skincare line for everybody who was asking."
