TAMRON HALL: LOOKING GOOD IS THE BEST REVENGE

BIG changes are percolating at the Today Show and Tamron Hall is at the center of the storm. Her contract is up for renewal so producers have to address the issue of who will stay and who will leave when Megyn Kelly arrives to host her own hour. Tamron has been cohosting with Al Roker but now there’s talk that she will subbing for Savannah Guthrie until she returns. If she does. No one is really certain about their jobs right now because it seems there are more hosts than needed. With high-priced Megyn joining the network, it makes sense that someone must be eliminated. You’d never guess by looking at her today that Tamron might be feeling insecure.

MATT LAUER FAILED TO ASK CHARLIE SHEEN IF HE HAD SEX WITH MEN!

charlie-sheen-today#28Dcut

We’re betting that females won’t be the only people considering lawsuits against Charlie Sheen for not disclosing that he was infected with HIV before they had sex. If we remember correctly, during his heaviest drug addled days he requested the services of prostitutes of both sexes. Sometimes more than one at a time. To be honest, we’re not sure if they have a case, because isn’t it up to each individual to protect his or herself? And the question has come up: Is it actually against the law in California not to reveal HIV status to sex partners? Our BIGGEST mystery is: Why didn’t Matt Lauer ask Charlie if he had sex with men?”

HOW DOES MATT LAUER FEEL ABOUT GIADA DE LAURENTIIS’S DIVORCE?

The speculation that chef Giada De Laurentiis and her husband Todd Thompson were splitting up has been going around for quite awhile. We were just about to dismiss the idea when she announced they are, indeed, divorcing after 11 years together and one six year old daughter. They built this house together in Pacific Palisades in 2007, and we wonder if she will keep it. It’s 3,160 sq ft, 4 bedrooms , 3 baths, and has a sundeck on top for entertaining. Now those rumors about Giada and Matt Lauer will heat up! He always gets very excited when she appears on The Today Show. (By the way, if you haven’t tried Giada’s pasta sauce (sold only at Target) do so – it’s yummy!)

KATHIE LEE AND HODA GOT THE SCOOP ON JOE MANGANIELLO

today-mangianello-1#1879cut

Kathie Lee and Hoda grilled studly Joe Manganiello on the Today show this morning and pulled out some interesting information about the “True Blood “ star. He said he gained 20 pounds of muscle before costarring with Arnold Schwarzenegger in their new action movie “Sabotage.” He admitted that he had no tattoos and no girlfriend. Kathie Lee made a joke about him getting waxed before he takes his shirt off and Joe said he didn’t have to. He said he was practically hairless from the chin down and considering that he’s half Armenian and half Sicilian, it was highly unusual. The girls were impressed.

IS CHER ENGAGED OR WAS IT JUST A SLIP OF THE TONGUE?

Cher appeared on The Today Show this morning and we could SWEAR that during her interview Matt Lauer let a secret slip out. We thought we heard him say that Cher had big news about her ENGAGEMENT. There was an awkward silence and the subject was abruptly changed and they talked about something else. Did Matt spill the beans or did we imagine it? Cher has been hanging out with writer Ron Zimmerman and says that she learned to keep her private life private. We wonder if anyone else saw this on the show…

TODAY: SCOTT THORSON WAS ITCHING TO GOSSIP, BUT SAVANNAH GUTHRIE WASN’T

We were prepared to hear some juicy stuff when Scott Thorson appeared on the Today show this morning. He’s been in jail on credit card charges since “Behind the Candelabra” aired about his relationship with Liberace, and he finally got bailed out by Dennis Hof, the pimp who operates the bunny Ranch. Thorson was eager to dish, but Savannah Guthrie dropped the ball and didn’t give him a chance. She spent their short interview asking him how he liked the HBO movie and didn’t even MENTION Scott’s recent blockbuster claim that he had an affair with Michael Jackson! Hopefully a more savvy reporter will soon get their hands on Scott and get some real scoop.

DONNY DEUTSCH AND HIS YOUNG GIRLFRIEND FROLIC ON THE BEACH IN MIAMI

#donnydeutsch #janetcharlton

Today Show favorite and advertising executive, Donny Deutsch has become a sex symbol for middle-aged women the way Barry Weiss of Storage Wars has. His female fans might be a tad disappointed to see this photo of him in Miami with a girlfriend. It’s apparent that he likes very young blondes who are extremely voluptuous.

SETH ROGAN CALLED BARBRA STREISAND “AN OLD JEWISH LADY!”

#sethrogen #janetcharlton

Seth Rogen made some incredibly off the wall comments about his “Guilt Trip” costar Barbra Streisand yesterday. (Maybe he’s tired of doing most of the work promoting the film.) When asked how it felt working with such an “icon,” Seth quipped “To me, she’s just like an old Jewish lady – I WASN’T the biggest fan on earth. She knows how to annoy people and I know what it’s like to be annoyed BY people. She feeds you a lot and then criticizes you for eating too much.” He admitted Barbra DID give him a gift – socks and underwear from The Gap. Seth also had unexpected comments about Barbra’s husband James Brolin“her husband is sexy and rugged – he’s the most masculine man I’ve ever been around.” Wonder what Barbra thought about all this….

AL ROKER BEATS THE TRAFFIC

#alroker #janetcharlton

This is how weatherman Al Roker commutes to and from work on the Today show at NBC studios. He’s killing two birds with one stone – he can dodge in and out of the traffic, and burn calories at the same time. Just watch out for those crazy taxi drivers!

ANN CURRY: DON’T LET US SEE YOU IN THAT HEAD SCARF AGAIN!

This morning we were greeted with the TV image of Ann Curry, whom we love, On the Today show interviewing Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and she was wearing a HEAD SCARF! Our blood started to boil. The somewhat soft content of the interview that was described as “too kind” – pointing out how hard the man works- was NOTHING compared to the humiliating and demeaning fact that Ann was forced to dress like a second class female citizen in that country. She is an American and should NOT have to bend to Muslim rituals while interviewing the preening Hitler of the Middle East. It was an insult to women everywhere. What would Gloria Steinem think? Please Anne, don’t put yourself in an inferior position like this again. You should receive equal treatment in an interview.
