Pamela Anderson must have had a good laugh this morning when Today show host Matt Lauer burst onto the show dressed up as Baywatch Pam for Halloween. Actually he has nice legs! Our favorites were Natalie Morales and Savannah Guthrie dressed up as Laverne & Shirley. Schlemiel, schlimazel!

Matt Lauer’s fierce and determined interview with Paula Deen in which he didn’t let her squirm out of a single important answer, brought to mind the rumor that he might be in line to take over Piers Morgan’s show on CNN. Today is still lagging in the sweeps and it seems like no one will ever let him forget about the Ann Curry firing. So a nighttime interview show might be looking pretty good to Matt about now. And Piers isn’t exactly breaking any sweeps or popularity records either.

NBC must REALLY be getting worried about the ratings on the Today show because they had the show’s executive producer make excuses for Matt Lauer to The Hollywood Reporter. Not only is the morning show in a ratings slump, but Lauer’s popularity is dimming fast. The unpleasantly handled replacement of Ann Curry by younger Savannah Guthrie caused their problems. Viewers just won’t forgive tyrannical Matt for dumping Ann and humiliating her. Let’s face it, narrow-minded male producers of the show probably think Matt is the GREATEST, and that females are interchangeable! They were shocked by this turn of events! Did it never occur to them that bald stodgy men surrounded by young beauty queens might NOT be what the public wants to see?
Time stood still for a few minutes this morning when Rob Pattinson appeared on The Today Show to promote his new movie “Remember Me.” The big question is: Will this movie be a success in any way like the Twilight series? (Rob plays kind of a James Dean type character.) How much of the Twilight audience went just to see Rob? We predict that Rob will pull in great numbers for “Remember Me” and prove that HE was the driving force behind Twilight.
