It's Official: The Today Show Is Making Me Crazy

Today was the last straw: I officially hate the Today show. I know it's in the category of "morning television," but I always tune in, hoping against hope, that I'll see, you know, the news. But after the missing women and harmed kids stories, they move right along to "When should I throw stuff in my fridge away?" and the earth-shattering suggestion that if you think your pet is sick, you should see a vet. Then there's a "concert" on the plaza. And for the last few months, a horrible feeling has been building and accumulating inside of me, and if I don't let it out, I'll burst: The absolute worst part of the show is the "reporter" known as Ann Curry.

Madonna "Appreciates" That People Are Cynical, Suspicious Of Her

Madonna was on Today this morning, in a pre-taped interview with Ann Curry, to promote her documentary about AIDS orphans in Malawi I Am Because We Are, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival this week. It's nice that she is doing some good stuff with her money and fame, but, as Curry says to her in the interview clip above, it's kinda hard to believe that this whole altruism thing isn't just another one of her fads — kinda like Madonna's accent, which isn't as British as it was two years ago. Clip above.

19-Year-Old Math Prodigy Alia Sabur Is Today's Favorite Jezebel

On this morning's Today show, Ann Curry interviewed Alia Sabur, who, at 18, became the youngest professor in the history of the United States. Sabur, now 19, is refreshingly adorable and normal — certainly mature for her age, but completely humble about her achievements. She teaches physics and math at Southern University in New Orleans, a school so destroyed by Katrina that students are still attending classes in trailers. Sabur wanted to teach there because she wanted to help Katrina victims but knew she wasn't good at building houses. "I tried to do what I'm good at," Sabur explained. A voice over notes that Sabur "loves celebrity gossip websites," and pans to a shot of Alia looking at Jezebel. Full clip above.

Jenna Bush was just interviewed on Today and Tracie and I sort of half-watched it. I have never paid attention to Ann Curry; is she always such an embarrassing cunnilinger? Highlights: Jenna asks Chelsea Clinton to call her; the Secret Service does allow her to have sex; no one showed up to her book signing but her mom was all, "Fifteen people? That's great, honey!" which sort of explains how she stays married to Bush; Jenna looks so much like her dad it's creepy and distracting; possibly she has a hangover; she was wearing Louboutins or at least that's what Tracie said; if she was pregnant she um must have had a miscarriage which is very painful so give her some privacy people.

Ann Curry Learns How To Pop And Lock On 'Today'


Chris Brown's choreographer and backup dancers (including those little boys who performed with him at the VMAs) taught the Today Show's Ann Curry a routine to the tune of "Run It," that involved a lot of "swagger." This morning, she performed it in Rockefeller Center for a live audience and a panel of "judges", which included her co-hosts and for some reason, P. Diddy. It's sort of crazy how far she'll go to entertain us. It's even more insane that this woman is 50 years old.
