Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah were on Today this morning, promoting their new flick Joyful Noise, and when Ann Curry asked how hip-hop and country work together, Dolly answered by rapping as Latifah provided a beat. It was amazing. More »

NBC ran weeks of royal wedding coverage this summer. Obviously it wasn't enough, since the entire cast of the Today show was dressed as the royal family this morning. Ann Curry was Kate Middleton, Natalie Morales was Pippa, Matt Lauer was Prince William, and Al Roker was Prince Harry. Hoda and Kathie Lee were Eugenie and Beatrice. Savannah Guthrie had to switch genders and be Prince Charles. And in a twist, former cohost Meredith Vieira made a surprise appearance as Queen Elizabeth, with corgis in tow. Poor puppies — their tiny feet were trampled when Matt dipped Her Majesty for a smooch, knocking off her wig and hat. Awkward! More »

Yes, folks, those are open shoulders, so that each arm can sport its own vulva. Is she a dominatrix? Did she rifle through Carine Roitfeld's closet? Is she starring as the evil queen in one of the new Snow White remakes? And is this a $9,000 Yohji Yamamoto invention? So many questions. More »

As you may recall, Nancy Upton mocked American Apparel's "Next Big Thing" model search, then won the contest, then was informed that she was not the winner, then was invited to visit the company headquarters. Nancy was on the Today show this morning, explaining (again) why the wording of the contest prompted her to submit pictures of herself bathing in ranch dressing. "I found it really insulting," Upton said. She told Ann Curry that she's looking forward to visiting the American Apparel headquarters (she flies to LA today) because, "I'm really excited to talk to these creative directors, and just see what it's like, from a woman's perspective, being inside of the machine… And maybe being able to offer a different consumerist, plus-size perspective."

Ann Curry's $2.9 million-dollar Upper West Side townhouse has been a point of much debate since she bought the "fixer upper" over eight years ago: first, they pissed off their neighbors with majorly disruptive construction. After building code violations, lawsuits, and noise complaints from their neighbors, Curry and her husband stopped the renovations and took up living downtown in Gramercy Park with their two children. When you live so far downtown, who has time to check up on that gigantic second home of yours that's all the way on the UWS? More »

This morning on Today, Ann Curry wore a simple, adorable A-line shift dress with bright, happy flower appliqués. Charming, summery, fresh. A cursory search reveals that it is the "Fleurty dress" in cream, by Lisa Perry. Price tag? $1295. Repeat: Thirteen hundred U.S. dollars. It's super cute! But — correct me if I am wrong — it has two seams. Good morning, good morning, good morning this morning, I am rich. This is not Ann's only Lisa Perry dress — she's also worn a black one with white circle pockets ($895), and she wore a red and pink one (also $895) on her first day as co-anchor in June. That's three grand for three outfits. Not including tax. Or shoes. More »

It's not surprising that Janet Johnson and Michael Brown were seemingly exhausted and stunned, uttering one-word answers when they were interviewed by Ann Curry this morning on Today: Their new son, JaMichael Brown, came out of the womb weighing more than 16 pounds. He may be the largest baby ever born in Texas. JaMichael is two feet long, has a full head of hair, and a 17-inch chest. Also, and my netherregions winced when I read this, JaMichael's head is 15 inches in circumference. (He was delivered via C-section. But still.) More »

After working at the Today Show for over fourteen years, it's not the first time Ann Curry has found herself behind the anchor's desk. Often there to fill in, she opened her first-ever broadcast as co-anchor with "And I'm Ann Curry, in for ...I guess nobody this morning!" She later added, "I really feel like Cinderella." More »

Who the hell brainstormed this insane piece of fuckery? Seriously. Someone greenlit this idea. Someone hired not one but three actors: A "mom," a "daughter," and a "Brit" for the voiceover. Someone found a bedroom location. Someone created a fake storybook. Someone chose the wardrobe, created the soft, "regular folks at bedtime" lighting scheme. Someone thinks Kate Middleton is a "young girl." Someone believes Kate and Prince William "decided" to get married "in front of the whole world," when it's fairly clear that they don't have a choice and didn't invite the global press outlets covering the nuptials. Someone wrote copy in which an innocent child asks of the royal wedding, "Will Matt, Meredith, Al and Ann be there?" Someone spent money on 30 seconds of utter nonsense. Someone is completely delusional. More »

Ann Curry had a one-on-one with a mustachioed Brad Pitt on Today this morning. Pitt was there to talk about his Make It Right Foundation, which aims to build 150 homes for residents of the lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans. But naturally, Ann got him to talk about the kids. (Right after he said he wouldn't talk about his personal life.) "I feel rich being around them," he said. "Surprisingly, though, six kids are not as easy as you would think." Ann also brought up the W photo shoot of Angie, but Brad was most passionate when talking about the paparazzi: "I hate 'em… I hate these people…There should be laws against it." Clip above. More »

But that's the way people should be able to live their lives." But, Sykes said, Prop 8 made her feel like she was being attacked. "Now, I gotta get in their face," she said. "I'm proud to be a woman. I'm proud to be a black woman, and I'm proud to be gay." [Breitbart]
