'Scandal's' end is in sight, and more news to note

Today's talk you might've missed:

  • Shonda Rhimes knows exactly how Olivia Pope's drama on "Scandal" is going to end - but of course she's not telling. Apparently, she isn't planning to have "Scandal" become a never-ending series like "Grey's Anatomy" has. "I feel like there's a finite amount of 'Scandal' to be told," Rhimes has said. "I can see where the end point is, and I don't think I'm going to change that." [NPR]
  • Have you spotted those, er, intriguing photos of Will Smith and his "Focus" co-star Margot Robbie yet? (Here's a link if not.) Apparently, those pics have launched rumors that Will is cheating on wife Jada Pinkett Smith, but "sources" are putting out that fire with statements like, "(Will and Margot) are just friends and were just being silly." [People]
  • Ellen DeGeneres' next career move should be wedding planner. She threw a not-too-shabby impromptu wedding for Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting on her show Wednesday:

  • If this fake feud between Sharon Osbourne and the co-hosts of "The View" - minus Barbara Walters - ever comes to blows, please, TV producers, refrain from trying to include jello. Osbourne saying what she really thinks about the crew is all the must-see TV we could ever need:
