Bad news for Marie Osmond fans. We hear the Mormon mom’s proposed talk show, Marie, won’t be hitting the airwaves — at least not this season.

“I want to express my deep appreciation for the faithful support and dedication shown by the numerous stations,” Marie said from backstage at the Flamingo in Las Vegas. “It was my sincere desire to return their enthusiastic responses by producing an exceptional talk show for their fall schedules; produced with the high quality that is associated with the Marie Osmond brand for over four decades. This project, under proper conditions, still remains a strong passion of mine.”

Sibiling singing duo Donny and Marie Osmond will begin headlining their own Las Vegas show at the Flamingo Hotel & Casino on September 9th. Donny & Marie will be a 90-minute showcase of their greatest hits, featuring impressive multimedia effects and a large cast of dancers.
“What Las Vegas has been missing is a true variety show that conveys the real essence of America and the country’s love of homegrown talent,” said the show’s co-presenter and longtime Vegas entertainer Danny Gans. “We felt Donny and Marie provided the perfect combination and something that no one else was making available.”

Fresh off her Dancing With The Stars stint, Marie Osmond has landed her own talk show. The Marie Osmond Show will debut in 2008 and will feature celebrity interviews. Director and producer Ron Scott reveals, “Marie makes the perfect talk show hostess because people feel like they can relate to her. She has experienced her own share of ups and downs and hopes to inspire viewers.”
We give it two months. There’s no way she can compete with the likes of Maury, AKA You Are NOT The Father. I don’t go anywhere when You Are NOT The Father is on!
