The Today Show

EVERYTHING HAS TURNED AROUND FOR TAMRON HALL!

SO nice to see Tamron Hall again! Remember, she quit NBC’s Today show in the middle of the Megyn Kelly fiasco and not long after Matt Lauer was fired. We always liked her and hoped to see her again – and we will. Disney has created a new daytime talk show for Tamron that will be syndicated starting in September. Since we last saw Tamron, she also got married – to music executive Steve Greener – and she had a baby boy named Moses! So Tamron HAS been keeping busy…

KATHIE LEE AND HODA GOT THE SCOOP ON JOE MANGANIELLO

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.

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.

WE’RE BETTING KIM KARDASHIAN HAS HER BABY IN JUNE, NOT JULY

#kimkardashian #janetcharlton

Kim Kardashian is either really bad at math or she assumes her audience is dumb as a rock. The Today Show’s Savannah Guthrie interviewed Kim about her pregnancy and Kim admitted that Kanye had blurted out the happy news in December when they were “safely past the three month mark.” She went on to say that the baby was due in July and Savannah never flinched. Obviously Kim lied (to throw the press off) because that would mean she’d be carrying the baby for ten months. Does she really think the paparazzi and press are that dumb?

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….

DINA LOHAN REVEALED HER AWFUL SELF TO MATT LAUER

Dina Lohan’s startling interview with Matt Lauer on The Today Show was more revealing than she ever imagined. Matt approached the subject of Lindsay’s substance problems with concern, but Dina’s attitude was hostile and dismissive from the get-go. When Matt pointed out that Lindsay had been in rehab FOUR times, Dina insisted it was TWO times, but he documented each of Lindsay’s visits. Dina couldn’t admit she was wrong and went on to deny that her daughter had serious drug issues and blamed everyone – including the judge – for Lindsay’s dilemma. Her chilling denial made the viewer feel even sorrier for the pathetic Lindsay. You got the distinct feeling that Dina would much rather talk about HERSELF than her daughter.
