*ABC is reportedly annoyed with Michael Strahan for rehashing his Kelly Ripa drama in a new interview with PEOPLE magazine.
“They are pissed at him for mentioning Kelly Ripa in his interview. Big surprise there,” said a source. “They thought he was over it, and here he is rehashing it. It’s sort of obvious they wouldn’t be happy . . . Everyone thought he’d moved on.”
Strahan told the mag he’s no longer friends with Ripa after his move from “Live” to “Good Morning America.”
“At one point I think we were friends. I don’t know what happened at the end,” he said.

“The most disappointing thing to me was that I was painted as the bad guy, because I value the way I carry myself,” Strahan tells PEOPLE. “I don’t want people to see me as ‘Oh, he just ran out, just left them there.’ That’s just not true.”
An ABC rep dismissed it as “old gossip.”
Strahan’s PEOPLE cover had a short shelf life after the publication rushed to release its cover about the Brangelina divorce.
Meanwhile, “Shark Tank’s” Daymond John has proposed to his young, white girlfriend with a 9.5 carat diamond ring. He popped the question to his longtime love Heather Taras, and she said ‘I do!’ while on set of “Shark Tank” during lunch.
“It was the last day of shooting for the season, and he had asked her to come to set,” his rep said. “Everyone was very excited and happy for him. There were streamers and champagne.”
Heather and John have a 6-month-old daughter, Minka. The investor and entrepreneur is best known as the founder, president, and CEO of FUBU.
