NBC’s Meredith Vieira and Al Roker joined Howard Stern sidekick Robin Quivers and Chilean miner Edwin Pena as the celebrities who completed the Big Apple’s annual 26.2 mile New York Marathon over the weekend. Vieira finished Sunday’s race in just under six hours (5:59), while Al came in at 7:09.

Meredith celebrated her victory with a thorough on-air foot massage. Get’em girl!

Need a Thursday morning “Pick Me Up?” There are a couple of knee-slapping parodies of Lady Gaga’s popular videos “Telephone” and “Poker Face” making the rounds on the blogosphere that just might lighten your mood.

Can you read your “Al Roker Face?”

Nice try, Spencer, but Al isn’t taking the bait.

After Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag were bumped from The TODAY Show Monday, the preppy former frat boy took to his Twitter.com to post vile messages about beloved TODAY meterologist/correspondent Al Roker — who famously feuded with the reality couple following their appearance on the show last June.

On Monday, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag were set to appear alongside TODAY’s Al Roker to promote their new book on the NBC morning show, but things didn’t go as planned — and Spencer is not pleased. The couple was unexpectantly given the boot from their segment on this morning’s TODAY, which robbed the pair of an opportunity to hawk their new book How To Be Famous…. Well, they’re not going to take that laying down! Spencer, for one,, is fuming over the perceived snub and promptly took to his Twitter to give the “Weatherman” a piece of his mind.

Dude, how old are you again?

“WEATHERMAN I thought you were out of town today getting your stomache stapled again?” Spencer Tweeted to Roker early Monday morning. “you look very sick? Do you always look like your about to die? How old are you 97? You should retire asap- No one would even know?”

A taunting Spencer continued, “I heard you snitched on your own kids at school! I bet your kids HATE you!! I would if my own dad came to my school and snitched me.”

“is it true you have been married 6 times? I’m sure all your wives left you when they realized you were abusive to women! Sicko!” Pratt wrote about Roker, who is currently married to his third wife, ABC news anchor Deborah Roberts.

Al has yet to respond to Spencer’s comments. The feud between The TODAY Show correspondent and the reality villains began last June when the pair appeared on the talk show to promote their appearance on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! Heidi and Spencer were upset by their portrayal during the interview and later accused Al of subjecting them to an unnecessarily harsh line of questioning.

Speidi’s been dissed by TODAY! Terrible twosome Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag were cut from an appearance promoting the release of their new book, How to Be Famous: Our Guide to Looking the Part, Playing the Press, and Becoming a Tabloid Fixture, on The TODAY Show Monday.

“Due to a change in the show’s schedule, we had to cancel the interview with Spencer and Heidi Pratt,” a rep for the morning show said.

The appearance with TODAY meterologist Al Roker would have been the reality couple’s first on TODAY since they pair famously sparred with Roker on the program last June.
