Just this week, Kim Kardashian was dubbed the “World’s Most Annoying Reality Star” in a poll conducted by Parade Magazine.
Poll smoll! It still seems some folks just can’t get enough of the First Family of Reality TV.
…Take the folks at NBC’s TODAY Show, for instance.
Did you catch Meredith Vieira’s farewell show on TODAY this morning?
The tearful former View commentator ended her five-year run as co-anchor of the nation’s most-watched breakfast show surrounded by colleagues Matt Lauer, Al Roker, and Ann Curry, as well as her husband Richard Cohen, family dog Jasper, and throngs of screaming fans outside Rockefeller Center’s Studio 1A. Vieira, 57, announced her departure from TODAY last month, following months of speculation about her future on the show. She says she wants to spend more time with Cohen, a reporter who suffers from multiple sclerosis, and their three children; the youngest of whom will be heading off to college in the fall.
While Lady Gaga was ziplining her way through Central Park, pop tart Rihanna was also in The Big Apple this Friday. The “Only Girl (In The World)” songstress, a four-time Grammy winner, rocked Rockefeller Plaza, opening The TODAY Show’s annual Toyota Summer Concert Series with a flurry of hits from her charttopping fifth studio album, Loud.
We’re in our final days of waking up with Meredith Vieira. Hot on the heels of weeks of innuendo, NBC confirmed on Monday that the former View pundit, who became a breakfast show fixture when she replaced Katie Couric as Matt Lauer’s co-host on The TODAY Show nearly five years ago, is leaving the nation’s most-watched AM series.
Katherine Jackson appeared in an interview televised on The TODAY Show Wednesday. The mother of late singing star Michael Jackson chatted with NBC’s Matt Lauer about how Michael’s kids are doing now, allegations that her son was a child molester (a claim she calls “the biggest lie ever told…”), and the upcoming manslaughter trial against Dr. Conrad Murray.
