Today Show

This morning ‘American Idol’ winner Scotty McCreery and runner up Lauren Alaina stopped by the ‘Today’ show and performed the Randy Travis/Carrie Underwood hit “I Told You So”.  The two have been inseparable since last week’s finale and rumors have been flying that there are dating.  My guess is they’re close but probably not involved romantically.

Its official, Meredith Vieira will leave the ‘Today’ show along with her 11 million dollar salary and she will do so three months before her contract is up in September.   About a month ago rumors began about her possible exit, now it’s not just a rumor its fact.  According to the Hollywood Reporter, Vieira who is 57 will step aside in June, making way for Ann Curry to take the seat next Matt Laue

The CMT Music Award nominations were announced this morning on the Today show and Jason Aldean leads the list of nominees with four.  Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift and the Zac Brown Band follow with 3 nominations apiece.

Meet Max Page, the 6 year old who was featured in the highly rated Volkswagen ad during Super Bowl 45. Max and his mother visited the Today Show set and was unmasked live.

It's hard to believe how far we've come in just 17 years.  Check out this video from The Today Show in 1994 when they didn't even know what the internet was or how to read an email address!
