Meredith Vieira to Leave Today Show!
May 9, 2011 @ 10:30 amAfter co-anchoring the Today show for over five years, Meredith Vieira announced that she’s leaving her post next month. Dodging any replacement speculation, Matt Lauer broke the news that Anne Curry will take Vieira’s vacant seat and special correspondent Natalie Morales will move to Curry’s news desk. “After months of personal reflection and private conversations between my family and my friends, I’ve decided to leave Today in June,” Vieira said on air this morning. “Time just keeps ticking away and I know that I want to spend more of mine with my husband, Richard, and my kids Ben, Gabe and Lily.” While five years may seem like a fair tenure at a job, it’s a relatively short stint for an anchor on the top-rated morning news program, whose previous hosts have logged double-digits on the set: Jane Pauley (13 years), Barbara Walters (15 years) and Katie Couric (15 years).

It would be nice if we for once were shown wedding dresses for every day people. some of them might be exceptional. And also for once I would love to see one of those stupid strapless dresses fall off. A wedding dress is supposed to be something that makes a bride look maidenly and beautiful. some of them stuffed into those strapless tops makes them look like they just came off the Las Vegas strip.
