    Indiewire executive editor Michael Schneider joins Kim Masters to discuss top entertainment news stories of the week.

    • Megyn Kelly makes her move. The former Fox host will be going to NBC to host a daily daytime show as well as a weekend news magazine. Tucker Carlson will take over her old time slot at Fox.

    • Greta Van Susteren will also be moving on from Fox. She'll host a 6pm show on MSNBC.

    • The loss of Carrie Fisher is a terrible tragedy. It's also a big problem for Lucasfilm and the Star Wars universe. Fisher already filmed her scenes for Star Wars VIII, but Leia was set to have a bigger part in Episode IX.
