Remember during the election when Ann Coulter went M.I.A. for basically the entire thing and it was only sometime around early November that we realized there was a high-pitched nasally shriek missing from the debates?
Well now that Coulter has a new book to promote about liberal propaganda, she wants back in on your television tubes. But at least one station is nixing her appearances. CONTINUED »
What if you could watch all your favorite morning shows in easy to digest, five minute clips? Well, since most morning shows are basically the same (except for The Today Show, with its frantic need to fill four hours of programming with Al Roker) you'd probably say "No thanks, I'll find it on YouTube if anything happens."
But! AOL in its newest bid to remind users why they it's still relevant (tons of blogs, apparently) is unveiling its Morning Rush program on AOL Living.
Oh, and it all sounds so necessary:

Even though I RSVP'd for Matt Lauer's Friar Roast last Friday, I wasn't allowed in to the actual lunch, and had to hang out at the "red carpet event" at midtown's Hilton and then go home. Très misleading, though I did get to touch Mario Lopez.
But apparently I wasn't the only member of the press tricked into "attending" the event, only to be told once I got there that I wasn't allowed in: "At the roast — where Lauer had daily press banned from the actual lunch — Cruise delivered a slide show message to Lauer that made it seem like they were old buddies."

Snoooooze. It was more of a scandal that the Friar's Club would put Dr. Hibbert Al Roker in charge of the roast.
Katie Couric couldn't resist making Tom Cruise's appearance at Lauer's roast into a clever little bon mot:

Oh, Lynne Spears. Watching you on The Today Show trying to justify how badly you screwed up in raising Britney was one of the most entertaining things we've seen in quite some time.
Kathie Lee Gifford has been getting a lot of flack from all sides since she moved to NBC to host the fourth hour of The Today Show. She is shrill and overshares. Other crazy women hate her. She's a ratings killer (the show has dropped 200,000 viewers since she's joined). And now The New York Times is criticizing her because she talks over her guests and co-host, Hoda Kotb. Come on guys, she's not as bad as all that. Here are our three favorite things about the KLG:
