Could something be up at The Today Show?
The show has been hit with successive waves of bad news. First, falling ratings as Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer narrows the gap and even beats Today in some markets. Next, a series of articles painting Katie Couric as a self-centered prima donna at war with Matt Lauer and responsible for the axing of various show execs.
Katie missed a few shows last week, and granted, that's not unusual. The show explained she was "on assignment," and perhaps she was. But this morning, Katie was missing again, and this time there was no explanation, just Campbell Brown in her seat. For that matter, Ann Curry, Today's regular news reader, was also out, though in her case it was stated that she was "on assignment."
Could something be up? We'll be watching.
By the way, the final segment of the first half-hour focused on Joe Biden effectively throwing his hat into the ring over the weekend for the Democratic presidential nomination.
It's just my opinion, but given Biden's personal history, I'm not sure his announcement line was necessarily the best move: "I'm Joe Biden, and I'm reporting for duty." ;-)
I have to ask: Can you actually walk in them??
Katie's interview with crazy eyes was taped 10 days ago...that is not the reason,think of another.
Yes, I can.
I'm very good with stillettos.
I NEVER watch her so it won't affect me at all.
My pleasure - thanks for your interest and welcome to the list!
"Isn't she on assignment interviewing the runaway bride?"
How could anyone sit face to face with the bug-eyed bride? I get the creeps every time I see a face shot of that woman. For that matter, who in their right mind would sit face to face with Katie Couric? Oh well, maybe they will run away together and find happiness, like a fly finding a fresh pile of dog poop.
Is Lisa the mom or the daughter?
Lisa is the mom. This is disappointing. Chris is a super nice guy, but I learned last month when I was at a New York party, all of these people all hang out together. Katie Couric was at the party I attended which was thrown by a friend of Botti's. The configuration of party guests was just bizarre.
Thanks.
I think its hilarious what they call themselves:
"Celebu-tantes"
I'm almost nodding off, but will try to put a few up on tinypics tomorrow.
