Since shooting Michael Brown Aug. 9, Ferguson, Missouri, Police Officer Darren Wilson has managed to disappear completely off the grid as he waits to find out whether or not an indictment and formal charges will be coming. His is a case that has led to rioting in the St. Louis suburb, and what started as a violent altercation between Wilson and Brown has morphed into a full civil-rights debate.

NBC is sure working hard to get in good with the royal family. First the network scored an exclusive interview last summer with Pippa Middleton, and that went so well that Kate Middleton's sister is now said to be in contention for a spot with "The Today Show" as a lifestyles correspondent. Now we are hearing that "Today" is also working hard to try and secure the first joint American interview with Middleton and her husband, Prince William.We told you the other day that the young couple is planning to travel to the States in a few weeks and will be spending time in New York City. There is also a pretty good chance that little Prince George will be traveling with them, and it is an opportunity that NBC is dying to take full advantage of.
