On April 2nd, President Trump's got some choice words for his White House press secretary, 28-year-old Caroline Leven. He half-joke she's doing a terrible job handling his sky-high negative coverage, pegged between 93 and 97 percent. She's pregnant and set for maternity leave in about a month, giving him an opening to shake things up. Sources close to the action say Trump's already eyeing replacements. Top on his list is Scott Jennings, that sharp CNN contributor who fearlessly backs Republican views on a tough network. Trump digs fighters like him who go toe-toe on air. This all blew up publicly on April 1st, when Trump called her out in front of reporters, linking it to his election wins despite the bad press. The press corps jumped in, praising her work, and Trump backed off, saying they keep the youngest press secretary ever for now. He's betting a new face at the podium could flip the media script and cut the negativity. He leave hits at the perfect time, letting him test drive someone without a messy firing.

Keep watching the briefing room folks. Trump's world moves fast, and headlines decide who stays or goes as her leave looms. That wraps entertainment and celebrity news today, brought to you with AI, I'm Corey with the story.
