Are Meredith Vieira And Al Roker Going To Kill Each Other?
1:40AM Richard Lawson | On the American Today show this morning, Meredith genially asked weatherman Al Roker, who is black, if he knew about the weather in Africa. Because her kid’s going there! Al, though, took jokey offence, and the scene got pretty uncomfortable More »

Today Investigates High School Hug Madness
1:59AM Pareene | Oh, good, Today covered the teenage hug menace. “High school hugging has turned into a cultural phenomenon, studied by sociologists, and written about in The New York Times.” A phenomenon studied by bullshit pseudo-scientists and written up as a trend in the Times? Hugs are the new hipster farms! Is the best part when the students act out hugs as Chris Jansing describes them or is the best part the fact that everyone in America is a retard?

11:14AM Jess McGuire | Yesterday Defamer Australia (thanks to the video uploading mad skills of Crikey) showed you footage of Karl Stefanovic’s post-Logies performance on The Today Show. It was an impressive display of slow talk and trying to stay upright, and I think he actually made a pretty good effort to hide how shitfaced he really was. He failed, of course. But he tried. More »

Jessica Rowe Breaks Down In Tears At Anti-Bullying Conference
12:40PM Jess McGuire | Poor old Jessica Rowe. The most boned news presenter in television history broke down in tears whilst speaking at a recent anti-bullying conference, and even though the following article doesn’t mention him directly, I’m placing the blame squarely on Eddie McGuire’s shoulders. Television personality Jessica Rowe broke down and cried at a public forum yesterday as she told of the hurtful insults and criticism she had endured. Rowe became emotional and had to stop part way through her address to an anti-bullying conference after telling of the ridicule she faced as a TV host. More »

Carrie Fisher Comes Full Circle
4:33AM Seth | Forgive us. Forgive us Leia, forgive us Jabba, forgive us The Force—but this was the first thing that occurred to us watching Carrie Fisher plug her latest “I took lots of drugs and alcohol and married a gay dude” memoir, Enter Drinking (wait, that’s not it. Up, No Olives? It’ll come to us eventually) on the Today Show this morning. Seriously—how did this seismic, evolutionary species reassignment come to pass, and do the universe’s laws of equilibrium require that the slug-like crime lord now be cavorting by some Tatooinian resort pool in a bikini? After the jump, Fisher talks about taking acid with Cary Grant or something. More »
