SNL Skit: Kathie Lee and Hoda, With Zach Galifianakis
Saturday Night Live once again took aim at Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb (well, mostly just Kathie Lee) on the show last night. Kristen Wiig does a great Kathie Lee impression; she has her mannerisms down pat, including her putdowns of Hoda. In this skit, Kathie Lee is shown enjoying a large box of wine and inviting a stalker (Gus Galifianakis) onto the set to make a love connection with Hoda. Take a look:
Kim Kardashian co-hosted The Today Show yesterday with Hoda Kotb, subbing in for Kathie Lee Gifford. Kim says that she and Reggie Bush are not engaged and are taking things slow. She says she's been married before and she doesn't want to make any more mistakes. Kim says she and Reggie are very much in love and are very serious, though. Kim denies the tabloid reports that the couple had a tiff after the Super Bowl because Kim was stealing his thunder. She also talks about her diet and how hard it is to stay away from the beignets at Cafe du Monde in New Orleans. Take a look:

The fabulous Sophia Loren is doing press rounds for her new movie Nine, in which she plays the mother of Daniel Day Lewis' director character who is undergoing a bit of a midlife crisis. Sophia talked to Kathie Lee and Hoda about how she ended up doing the film: director Rob Marshall called her and asked her to play the mother. Sophia said she accepted without reading the script: she has said in other interviews how much she loved Chicaco that Rob directed.
Kathie Lee and Hoda wanted to know how the Oscar winner stays so youthful looking and Sophia, who is 75, joked that it was a "miracle." Take a look:

Halloween parties aren't just for kids. Kathie Lee and Hoda learn how to make some ghoulish adult beverages which are just perfect for Halloween. Maureen Petrovsky, author of The Wine Club whips up a Blood Orange Harvest Cocktail, which must be pretty strong because Kathie Lee was snuggling up to Chewbacca after trying one. Next up was the Eyeball Martini, which we are definitely trying out this weekend. For those with a sweet tooth, there was Halloween Punch in a Pumpkin which uses Midori liquor and features a dry ice serving suggestion and some Pumpkin Pie Milkshakes.
What's really funny is that the song from the scene at the Mos Eisley Cantina in the very first Star Wars movie is playing in the background.

Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira, Hoda Kotb, Kathie Lee Gifford, Ann Curry and other NBC anchors and personalities reveal their secret pleasures in this funny web video. Not surprisingly, because they are on-air personalities who have to watch their weight, many of the vices involve food: butter, dark chocolate, ribs, ice cream and milkshakes are just a few of the things they dream of and occasionally indulge in when no one's looking. Kathie Lee is the only one who named booze, interestingly enough. Take a look:
Kathie Lee and Hoda are in San Antonio with The Today Show and decided to take a lesson in riding the mechanical bull. The operator set it on the lowest, slowest setting it could go on, but they still got bucked off in just a few seconds. Maybe they could have a few margaritas and try again. Take a look:

That needs to go. Take a look:

Jill Martin of US Weekly takes a walk through the fashion statements made by Michael Jackson over the years. Jill says that his designers had a lifesize mannequin made of Michael, and that they created tens of thousands of outfits for him. He pioneered the idea of wearing stage costumes in real life. Remember the photo of Michael in a sequined military jacket and sequined glove standing next to Nancy and Ronald Reagan? It was surreal. A new incarnation of that jacket recently showed up on the Balmain runway: Beyonce and other stars have been seen wearing it. Take a look:
