Hoda Kotb was named co-anchor of “Today” on Tuesday morning and officially headlined the broadcast with Savannah Guthrie.
Kotb, 53, had been behind the anchor desk of NBC’s morning news show in a temporary role since Matt Lauer was fired in November. Lauer’s dismissal came after a female colleague made a detailed complaint accusing him of inappropriate sexual behavior.
In announcing Kotb’s appointment on “Today,” Guthrie, 46, told viewers: “This has to be the most popular decision that NBC News has ever made.”
“I am pinching myself,” said a beaming Kotb. “I think we should send some medics to Alexandria, Virginia, where my mom has likely fainted after hearing the open of that show.”
NBC News Chairman Andrew Lack said in an email that Kotb has “seamlessly stepped” into the position, and with Guthrie, “quickly hit the ground running.”
“They have an undeniable connection with each other and most importantly, with viewers, a hallmark of Today,” Lack added.

Luann de Lesseps has made the decision to go into rehab following her drunken Palm Beach arrest.
“After the events of last Saturday night in Palm Beach, I am truly embarrassed,” the “Real Housewives of New York City” star told Page Six in a statement on Friday. “I have decided to seek professional guidance and will be voluntarily checking into an alcohol treatment center. I intend to turn this unfortunate incident into a positive life changing event. Once again, I sincerely apologize for my actions. I have the greatest respect for police officers and the job they do. My actions alleged in the police report do not reflect my core values and my law abiding character. I am so grateful for the love and support that I am receiving from my family, friends and loyal supporters.”
De Lesseps, 52, was arrested for disorderly intoxication, battery of an officer, resisting arrest and making threats against a public servant early Sunday. According to a police report released Tuesday, de Lesseps was discovered trespassing in a hotel room with an unidentified male, causing hotel security to call the cops. De Lesseps and the man were in bed together, according to the report.
After being cuffed, she allegedly tried to escape from the back of a police car and screamed, “I’m going to f–king kill you.”
Following her arrest, de Lesseps told Page Six that “long-buried emotions” related to her failed marriage to Tom D’Agostino triggered her behavior.

Now that his battle with cancer is safely behind him, “Flip or Flop” star Tarek El Moussa is hoping to give back with his all new show, “Tarek’s Pick Me Up Project.”
In November, the star posted a video to Facebook asking his fans to direct message him the name and information of people they know who might need a helping hand.
“It doesn’t matter the struggle, it could be a failing business, a bad breakup, mental health, physical health or even just a lousy few months,” he said. “We’re going to reach out to them and find the absolute best way to put a smile on their face.”
Since the video’s posting, more than 4,000 people submitted names to the project. Now, the HGTV star has made a bold announcement. He’ll personally be paying a surprise visit to some of the people who were submitted in a new show. In another video announcement on Facebook, El Moussa promised “the first of many” episodes begin on Monday.
“I’ve always lived my life with the belief that with hard work and determination, anything is possible. I also believe that in order to succeed, you have to be willing to accept that failure is most definitely part of the journey. While failure may be difficult, it should also be viewed as a motivator because failure is absolutely necessary to succeed,” he says in the video. “The experience of dealing with cancer treatment made me realize that nothing is more important than my family. I also made a commitment that one day, when I was in a position to help others, I would do so. I feel that my purpose is to give back, lend a hand and really help others.”

Some how I missed that a remake was being made of one of my favorite stupid movies ever. Overboard.
The movie about a spoiled rich woman (Goldie Hawn) who treats the hired help (Kurt Russell) like shit and then one day falls “overboard” of her yacht and washes ashore with no memory. Kurts character takes her in telling her she’s his wife and makes her his slave. (comedy, trust me).
So the remake stars Anna Faris in the Kurt role with Eugenio Derbez taking the place of Goldie Hawn. In this version, a spoiled, wealthy yacht owner (Derbez) is thrown overboard and becomes the target of revenge from his mistreated employee (Faris). How did this man become wealthy enough to own a yacht? It’s totally unclear. But based on this trailer, it looks like he’s just a rich jerk who has always been rich.
It’s not looking real good, though. It’s hard to take a movie that most people don’t admit to loving and remake it with any success. We’ll see.
