Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana made their way to The Today Show where they talked about their new movie, The Time Traveler’s Wife, which is an adaptation of the 2003 novel written by Audrey Niffenegger. It revolves around a librarian named Henry (Bana), who has a condition where he travels through time when he is stressed. Despite this, he attempts a relationship with artist, Clare Abshire (McAdams).
They dish a bit more about the film in their interview. Eric spoke about getting over losing his clothing in front of camera as well as his Australian accent. Rachel also discussed the on-camera …read more

This morning on The Today Show the Jonas Brothers stopped by to perform a bunch of their fan favorites. They started off with their hit singles, “Burnin’ Up” and "Lovebug" which were off of their 2008 album “A Little Bit Longer.” Then, they treated the audience to their songs “Paranoid” and “Much Better”, both off of their newly released album “Line, Vines and Trying Times.”

They sounded relatively good, something that’s not always common for the Jo Bros. I find they have a hard time with live performances, but I respect that they still are quite young and seem to …read more

I love it when shows do a recap of what they’ve done in a year.  Sometimes the trip down memory lane reminds me of events that I had forgotten and stories that have made me both laugh and cry. 
I had a lot of fun looking at some of the more notable moments on the Today show this past year.  I hope it brings a little cheer to you too in this Monday morning.

The remains of a child, believed to be Cayley Anthony, were found and now investigators are searching for clues that will give them any sort of information about when the child’s body was left in the woods and, of course, who is responsible for her death. 
This case has been so difficult for me.  I look at the sweet little face of Cayley and I hurt inside thinking that her mother, Casey Anthony, could be responsible for her disappearance.  I’m just sickened with the possibility that Cayley’s caring grandparents could actually know something.  They’ve been the driving force behind the …read more

I never have much turkey leftover (my turkey-loving family can’t seem to keep any for stews or soups!) but I know a lot of people struggle with what to do with all that poultry!  Joey Yarwick, a 12-year-old chef, stopped by the Today show (poor kid was teamed up with Kathie Lee Gifford *shudders* She’s just so rude). 
Joey, "the burger boy," demonstrated how he makes his turkey sliders.  Watch the uncomfortable segment here (the adults were interesting – both on-set and off-set adults.  The kid seemed the most mature):

Here is the recipe  (makes 3 sliders):

8 ounce leftover turkey, cut …read more

This morning on the Today show, Rosie O’Donnell talked to Meredith Vieira (with whom she has something in common – they both were moderators on The View) about her famous feuds with former co-hosts, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Barbara Walters.  Meredith asks Rosie about her comments to reporters last week where she implied that the women on The View are not really friends off the set.  Of course, Barbara responded to these allegations by referring to Rosie as "lady" and told her to "get on with [her] life."  Rosie said that despite everything, she respects Barbara and cares about her.
She also …read more
