  • Katie Couric is Reportedly Interested in Brian Williams' Job at NBC News

    Brian Williams is in a world of trouble over at NBC News and that means that a handful of veteran reporters are wondering if his missteps could provide an opportunity that doesn't come along very often. Williams is currently taking a leave of absence from NBC Nightly News for "misremembering" whether or not he was in a chopper that was hit by RPG fire in 2003. Once the network figures out what else Williams may have inaccurately remembered in his other tales of heroic actions, his fate will be determined. One familiar face just waiting for the opportunity to have a meeting with NBC is none other than Katie Couric.

  • President Obama Tells Parents to Vaccinate Their Children

    There are currently 100 cases of measles in the United States, and there is growing concern that this number could rise significantly. Some parents believe childhood vaccines are closely linked to autism and other conditions, so they have opted against immunizing their children, but the reality is that these kids then run the risk of spreading measles to infants who are too young to be immunized. When President Barack Obama sat down for his pre-Super Bowl chat with "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie, immunizations was a topic he was eager to address.

  • Kathie Lee Gifford Ready to Exit 'Today' After NBC Snubs Her 18-Minute Musical

    Kathie Lee Gifford seems like the kind of woman who is always on the verge of a fight with someone, right? It is not because she is mean, but there is a candidness about her that does not sit well with everyone. Over the years we have heard numerous reports about her feuds with friends and co-workers, but the latest one is a real doozy. Successfully hosting the fourth hour of "Today" is supposed to carry with it certain perks, or at least that was her thinking, but her NBC boss Deborah Turness recently showed Gifford otherwise, leaving the diva furious and getting ready to exit. Gifford has created an 18-minute musical "Not Today and Tomorrow's Not Looking Good Either" that was supposed to air in early December before NBC's live broadcast of "Peter Pan."

Her first wedding anniversary is right around the corner, she has a 5-month-old daughter at home to keep her on her toes and then there is that morning show gig.

  • Janay and Ray Rice All Smiles While Celebrating His Birthday, Is the Worst Behind Them?

    It has been a little while since we have heard anything about Ray and Janay Rice. The couple spent months grabbing headlines late last year because of an elevator surveillance tape that leaked. It showed him knocking out his wife cold with just one punch and it ultimately led to Ray being cut from the Baltimore Ravens. He legally can play in the NFL now but no teams have even expressed interest in signing him, yet. On the home front, the couple is at least trying to make it look like they are better than ever.

  • After 25 Years, Ann Curry Is Finally Leaving NBC News

    Ann Curry's departure from NBC News has been nearly three years in the making. She has been gut-level unhappy at the network ever since being canned from her "Today" co-anchor spot, a firing that caused tons of backlash and months of controversy. While she was cut from the morning program she had spent 15 years with, she stayed with the network, basically making tons of money to do little. Rather than take the $12 million-a-year paycheck for minimal work, Curry started planning her exit, and on Monday, Jan. 12, it was confirmed that she is leaving the network.Curry will be beginning a new media start-up project that is backed by NBC Universal. She will also now be a free agent when it comes to reporting. She might pop up on NBC in the future, but she can also work for whatever outlet she pleases."This is about reaching for the edge of the future in journalism, which we know is undergoing an irrevocable transition. In today's world of fragmented media, this is the time to seize the opportunity to improve the way we distribute and even tell stories. I want to expand my drive to give voice to the voiceless to emerging platforms and produce both scripted and non-scripted content, in addition to continuing to report on-air about stories that matter," said Curry in an official statement about her new position.

  • Sarah Ferguson Slams 'Sex Slave' Allegations Made Against Prince Andrew

A woman named Virginia Roberts has alleged in a civil suit that admitted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein used her as a sex slave for various high-profile men, and one of those accused men is Andrew. Roberts has claimed that she was forced to have sex with the prince on three different occasions, all when she was under 18.Ferguson sat for an interview on this morning's, Jan. 13's, "Today" show, and during the segment she insisted to Matt Lauer that her ex has done nothing wrong and has nothing to hide."I will have not one word said about him on any level, any level. I went to stand by him because I know what it feels like to have salacious lies made up about you," she said, calling the claims "just shockingly accusatory allegations."Ferguson also called Andrew "a great father and a humongously good man" and noted "all the work he does for Britain.""I won't stand by and let his character be defamed to this level," she said.

  • Did 'Today's' Matt Lauer Have an Affair with Giada De Laurentiis?

    Giada De Laurentiis has been plagued with rumors ever since announcing her split from husband Todd Thompson last week. She has been accused of cheating on her soon-to-be-ex with several different men, and while De Laurentiis is denying all accusations of infidelity, there is one that is raising eyebrows. The celebrity chef has been accused of hooking up with the host of "The Today Show," Matt Lauer, who is often the subject of cheating rumors himself.According to Page Six, De Laurentiis denies getting cozy with the married Lauer in 2011 in Barbados, where he was filming a segment for the NBC morning news program. The problem is that Lauer has been accused of cheating on his long-suffering wife Annette Rogue, with numerous women over the course of their 17-year marriage. Even just a few weeks ago we told you about how Lauer chose to spend last summer holed up in his New York City apartment rather than out in the Hamptons with his wife and children. That was after NBC agreed to have a helicopter fly him to and from work each day so he could be close to his family all summer.It is Lauer's dicey history that is making many wonder if something did happen a few years ago with De Laurentiis.

  • Amy Adams Still Doesn't Understand Why 'Today' Canceled Her Interview

    It may be several days since "Today" abruptly decided to cancel Amy Adams's interview, but the dust has yet to settle. The actress was scheduled to sit for an interview promoting her new Harvey Weinstein film "Big Eyes," but when she told staffers that she would rather not comment on the Sony hacking, her segment was canceled, leaving Adams baffled. Weinstein has demanded the network issue a formal apology to one of his favorite actresses, and his company has reportedly been locked in negotiations with NBC executives for days.As for Adams, she still does not understand what actually happened. At the Los Angeles premiere of her film, she told reporters she was actually prepared to do the interview when "Today" pulled the plug on it instead."I expressed that I was uncomfortable. I said I would rather not add my voice to this conversation. But it was clear they were drawing a hard line. That this would be part of the conversation. I walked away from the conversation and went up to the room to do the interview. I assumed they were going to ask me about [the Sony hacking]. And I was prepared for that, to whatever degree I was prepared. I was informed that they had decided to pull the interview. I was confused and definitely frustrated. I still don't understand," explained Adams.

  • Harvey Weinstein Is Pushing Hard for 'Today' to Apologize to Amy Adams for Abruptly Canceling Her Interview

    If NBC thought it could abruptly cancel Amy Adam's interview scheduled for "The Today Show" Monday, Dec. 22, and not have issues, it was not thinking clearly. Adams was scheduled to do an interview promoting her latest film, "Big Eyes," but when the actress told staffers she did not feel comfortable discussing the fallout from the Sony hacking scandal, she was told her segment had been shelved. Harvey Weinstein's company has produced "Big Eyes" and Adams is always in good standing with him, so he is out for a bit of blood.According to a source for Page Six, NBC's feeble attempts to smooth things over are not sitting well with Weinstein, who wants a formal apology to Adams at the least."Even though 'Today' host Matt Lauer tried to smooth things over after the drama with a call to Weinstein," the source added, "Weinstein wants a formal apology or at least an independent investigation into what happened by an independent authority like Rudy Giuliani."

  • Amy Adams Interview on 'Today' Canceled When She Refused to Discuss Sony Hack

    Amy Adams held her ground with NBC executives yesterday and it cost her a promotional interview on "Today." The show wanted to get her opinion on one of the hottest topics out there now — the hacking of Sony — and apparently Adams refused to comment publicly. Her name has been mentioned in some of the leaked emails that prove she and Jennifer Lawrence were paid considerably less than their male costars in "American Hustle." It was a topic Adams refused to touch, so "Today" decided to cancel her interview on the spot in spite of her being there to actually promote her new film "Big Eyes."What actually transpired in the green room depends on who you ask. Adams's team insists she carried herself with grace while NBC insiders are saying things got heated and her attitude did not win her any fans. According to "Us Weekly," it was just business as usual for the morning show.
