ABC News’ Chris Cuomo is likely to move to the newsmagazine “20/20” as its co-host.

A network executive who spoke anonymously said Cuomo is in negotiations for the job after being passed over for “Good Morning America” co-host. Cuomo would co-anchor with Elizabeth Vargas and take on an expanded reporting role at the network.

The executive said JuJu Chang has been offered Cuomo’s job as newsreader at “Good Morning America.”

The personnel changes mean it’s likely George Stephanopoulos will be announced as Diane Sawyer’s successor on “Good Morning America” soon.

Singer to help child

Elton John’s partner says the musician was devastated that he wasn’t allowed to adopt an HIV-positive Ukrainian toddler, but plans to support the boy anyway.

The pop star, 62, met 14-month-old Lev in September, but he wasn’t allowed to adopt him because he was too old and unwed.

David Furnish told BBC radio they were working to ensure Lev and his brother “have the best health care, education and family options available to them.”

Crash victim settles

An attorney says Travis Barker has settled his lawsuit over a fatal plane crash in South Carolina. Lawyer William L. Robinson, who represents the companies sued, says the terms are confidential. He says the settlement involves Learjet, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and the plane’s owners.

The former Blink-182 drummer was one of two survivors of a Sept. 19, 2008, crash that killed two pilots and two friends. Another survivor, celeb disc jockey DJ AM, has since died of an accidental drug overdose.
