Today Show Halloween Costume Ann Curry as Darth Vader, Al Roker as Han Solo, Matt Lauer as Luke Skywalker, Meredith Vieira as Princess Leia, Hoda Kotb as Yoda, Kathie Lee as CP30 and Natalie Morales as Queen Amidala on the set of Today in New York (10/30)
Matt and Annette Lauer in 2007 Matt Lauer is basically living in fear. His wife Annette has compiled a list of all the women he's banged while married to her. If he fucks up one more time, she's making it public. Annette filed for divorce from Matt in 2006 but withdrew the petition a few weeks later when she realized dude makes, like, a katrillion dollars a year and she likes summering in the Hamptons. From the
National Enquirer:
"That's the scuttlebutt among divorce lawyers who heard Matt's wife Annette drew up the list when she socked him with divorce papers in 2006," said a source.
Although the Dutch-born beauty gave Matt a second chance by withdrawing the papers, the source said: "If Matt screws up again, the divorce will be back on, and the list of his 'other women' could be exposed." (Print Edition - 4/20)
Since Annette is Dutch, she probably hasn't heard the old American saying "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 57 times, shame on me." And since she hasn't followed through on her divorce threats, there is one thing we can assume:
She believes in the power of love She believes in the power of second chances Matt's prenup must be more iron-clad than a WWII-era Panzer tank.

The Today Show anchors pranked by caller
A prankster managed to get through on a conference call held by The Today Show to promote their new segment "The End of the Earth." Matt Lauer, Ann Curry, and Al Roker were all on hand but the caller targeted Curry first:
"Did you get your last name because your [bleep] smells like Mediterranean food?" One source said, "[the prankster] was immediately dropped from the call. But somehow, he got back on the call using another name." The lewd interloper then asked Lauer, "Can you [bleep] your own [bleep]?" With that, the conference call was shut down. (Source)
I've often wondered if Matt Lauer could [bleep] his own [bleep]. He just has that look about him. I knew a guy back in college who could [bleep] his own [bleep] AND [bleep] his own [bleep] at the same time! You should have seen it, it was pretty incredible. The best I've done is [bleep] this random guy at the bus stop's [bleep] but that was with fourteen beers in me.

"Today" show host Matt Lauer is
divorcing his wife of seven years, Annette—oh yeah, she's also pregnant:
"Today" show host Matt Lauer and his wife of seven years, Annette, have officially separated. Lauer, 48, and his wife reportedly split in April, only to reconcile a short time later. A source tells Star magazine, "They were trying to work things out." The Dutch-born model, who is currently pregnant with the couple's third child, filed for divorce on September 13 in Manhattan Supreme Court. The couple have a son, Jack, 5, and a daughter, Romy, 3. The source adds, "It's a pretty clean divorce - no fights, no custody disputes. They are following the pre-nup -- no extreme demands or dramatic charges. "Everyone's gone to great lengths to keep everything private."
That's pretty messed up to divorce your pregnant wife. Where does Matt go from here? I guess he could go to the beach to knock down sandcastles or maybe steal some candy from a wheelchair-bound cripple. I don't know
those don't seem as satisfying as almost causing a miscarriage.
I guess when you have abs of steel like Matt, you can do whatever the hell you want.
Update: A kind reader just informed me that Annette was actually the one that filed for divorce. Matt must have pressured her--I mean, have you seen his abs?

Matt Lauer
For all this talk about Lance Armstrong and Barry Bonds taking steroids, someone should seriously look into Matt Lauer. For being 38, he is seriously ripped. I must admit I’ve had my suspicions about him for over a year now. After Lauer hit 64 Home Runs last year for the Florida Marlins, I just knew he had to be using performance enhancing drugs. I mean, guys past 35 rarely hit more than 50 homeruns a year. Let’s just hope this picture doesn’t tarnish his legacy.
Update (8/22) A kind reader informed me that Matt is not 38 but 48. Now I'm convinced he's just wearing one of those fake muscle t-shirts.
