Oouch...Terrence J leaves E! News...

TV personality Terrence J has announced his

departure from E! News after working there for

just a few years. Terrence announced his

departure yesterday on E!,

"I started hosting when I was 16 years old

back in North Carolina, and I've been now

on national television for over 10 years,"

he said Tuesday on E! News. "Seventeen

years, that's a long time, and I think in

order for someone to grow it's important

that you try new things and you create

new challenges, create new dreams for

yourself."

"I took some time off this summer and I

produced and I starred in my first feature

film, and I'm really excited about it and it's

coming out at the top of the year. It's

called The Perfect Match. I knew I would

have to leave to go on a promo run for

that...I've had a lot of opportunities come

in in the acting space, both behind the

camera and in front of the camera. And

so, with all of that said, I wanted to

announce today that I'll be leaving E!

News."
