Hey Natalie Morales, Amy Adams Is Not A Whore Just Because She Once Worked At Hooters

Dateline NBC traded in their spy cams normally used for busting Predators (not the ones from space, mind you, the ones that live next door to you) for the Vaseline-gauzed lenses required to shoot Hollywood’s biggest and brightest in a two-hour Golden Globe special that aired last night after that pathetically boring Globes presser. During an interview with the universally adored Amy Adams, The Today Show’s resident vixen Natalie Morales made an uncomfortable shift from friendly fluffery to attack dog journo mode when she grilled Amy Adams about her, *gasp*, former career as a waitress at Hooters. We haven’t seen two girls go at it like this since Wild Things.

In retrospect, we suppose it could’ve gone down a lot worse. Amy Adams is a true saint for not responding to Natalie Morales clear attempts at baiting her into a catfight (check out the overwhelming look of condecension on Morales’ face after she says, “Oh, you had a good time doing that?”). But what we’re wondering is this: other than attempting to embarrass Amy Adams on national television (subtext: “Was it fun being a ho?”), what exactly did Morales hope to accomplish with this line of questioning? We’ve spent hours trying to figure it out, and we can’t come up with anything. All we know for sure is that not even Chris Hansen would have stooped this low.
