再见啰，《娱乐新闻》！

2007年4月20日，台湾TVBS《娱乐新闻》在播出最后一集后，便成为历史，从此消失于电视荧幕上。

这个节目，在台湾娱乐史上，开创了播报娱乐新闻的新风格。从此，全球的中文电子媒体也相继涌出不少同类型节目。譬如：台湾的《娱乐百分百》、《完全娱乐》；香港的《娱乐最前线》；大马的《八八六十事》等节目。陶晶莹也因《娱乐新闻》而奠定了她在主持界的地位。除此之外，独特的主持方式与百变形象，使她荣获几座金钟奖。

21世纪初，随着小燕家族集体过当新开台的“东风”，陶子也因而告别这主持了近6年并让她成名的《娱乐新闻》。在“东风”，她主持为她量身定做的《亚洲娱乐中心》，对撼旧东家的《娱乐新闻》！

自陶子的离开，直到停播为止，《娱乐新闻》的主持群以换了几轮。先有“天天陪你唱双簧”的双黄主播--黄嘉千和黄韵玲。两人的“双手联弹”至今仍让人津津乐道。黄韵玲离去后，有虚拟主播-饭团，陪伴黄嘉千。过后，黄嘉千被遗弃了，由No-Way（Nono和林佑威）接过主持棒子。然后，有聂云和阿雅--小娴--小娴和阿海--黑涩会美眉。中间还有许多代班主播。

我曾经也像许多台湾七年级生一样，每天到了傍晚时段，一定会守在电视机前，准时收看《娱乐新闻》。这习惯持续到我赴英国深造为止。暑假回来，也没有追看。毕业后回国后，也几乎忘了有此节目。我也是在前几天，很不经意地转台转到TVBS-ASIA，刚好看到黄子佼在主持着《娱乐新闻》之回顾，才得知《娱乐新闻》过了这个星期便要停播了！庆幸的，我可以跟《娱乐新闻》道别，收看最后一集。

推陈出新，是娱乐圈的规律。旧或不好的，便会被淘汰。取而代之的，便是新颖且受欢迎的。我只希望，电视荧幕上不会在看到白痴的综艺节目。这些节目，哗众取宠，一点内涵也没有，看了等于没看。
