Matt Lauer to the rescue? There are words NBC executives never thought they’d say to themselves. But with host Bob Costas ailing from an eye infection that has become the talk of the Twitterverse, the network has confirmed that Lauer will take his spot for tonight’s coverage of the Sochi Olympics. “Reluctantly, I was trying to throw a complete game here, but I think we’re going to have to go to the bullpen, and I don’t know if you’re aware of this or not, but you’re Mariano Rivera, at least tonight,” Costas told Lauer by phone this morning on Today . “Let’s hope it’s only tonight. I’m walking around, I might as well be playing ‘Marco Polo.’ I have no idea where I am.” Costas had been trying to ignore his eye issues since Day One of the Games, but it was apparent last night that the infection had spread. We’ll see how long his hiatus lasts and we’ll gauge how well Lauer does this evening. But as long as he doesn’t dress like Pam Anderson again, everything should run smoothly.
Movie legend Shirley Temple died last night at the age 85. The former child actress retired more than six decades prior to her passing, but she’s still remembered for her red hair, her dimples, her signature drink – and for one song in particular. Temple first sang “On the Good Ship Lollipop” in 1934’s Bright Eyes, belting out the track in a scene she reportedly choreographed herself. The number has been referenced and duplicated many times since (from The Brady Bunch to The Simpsons) and we can think of no better way to salute the late star than to run her original here: Shirley Temple – “On The Good Ship Lollipop” Temple, of course, is merely the latest known name to pass away in 2014.

Julia Roberts’ late half-sister Nancy Motes, who died last weekend, appears to have called the Oscar winner out in a series of Twitter posts last month. Motes termed Roberts a “b!tch” and “hag” as she vented, illustrating that their rocky relationship likely never healed prior to Motes’ untimely death. Nancy Motes, Julia Roberts’ Sister, Dead Nancy Motes was found dead of an apparent overdose Sunday. In Tweets dated January 19, and written under the handle @Dabbs76, she allegedly wrote: “So my ‘sister’ said that with all her friends & fans she doesn’t need anymore love. Just so you all know ‘America’s Sweetheart’ is a B—-H!!’” She later added, “Do you want to be a fan of someone so cruel? She’s not even that good of an actress. Happy you totally F–ked with me?” Clearly, she had an axe to grind, justifiably or not. Three days later, Motes, a professional dog walker, said that that her “own family has abandoned” her. “Hey Hag! Glad you f–ked with me yet? You’re going to LOVE what’s coming! FYI – You’re an awful, hate filled old pathetic excuse for a human.” In another bizarre twist, one of her last Tweeks was to Farrah Abraham , thanking her for following her account and asking, “Do you know who I’m related to?” Motes, who had the same mother as the Pretty Woman star, long had bad blood with her A-list sister, 46, though it’s not entirely clear why or from what. Last May, it was rumored Julia was planning on skipping Motes’ wedding due to the tension, and concern that “Nancy [would] try to tap her for more money.” Julia “exploded” when she saw Motes snapping photos of her newborn twins in 2005, according to the National Enquirer , offering one possible explanation. Motes, 37, died in a bathtub, with authorities recovering both prescription and non-prescription drugs at the Los Angeles home she was discovered in. “The investigator at the scene listed at this point that he is going with suicide,” a source said, but they are “waiting for the doctor to finish the examination.” Celebrities We Lost in 2014 Open Slideshow 1.

Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death appears to be heroin related, according to investigators, though the cause of the actor’s death has not been made official. Officials confirmed Philip Seymour Hoffman dead Sunday at his New York apartment and a deadly strain of the drug as one of the operating theories. To be clear, law enforcement sources do not know any specifics about the heroin found in the Manhattan apartment where Seymour died at the age of 46. There were 10 bags found of the drug, however, eight of them empty. Here’s where it gets particularly interesting (and very scary): Authorities have been tracking a new strain of heroin that has killed dozens on the East Coast. Already in 2014, the heroin laced with fentanyl – an extremely potent drug prescribed for terminal cancer patients – has been making the deadly rounds. The strain is 100 times more powerful than morphine , according TMZ, and is so potent that it sometimes shuts down the respiratory system altogether. Sometimes called “Theraflu,” “Bud Ice” and “24K,” the heroin strain has been linked to five deaths on Long Island, 22 in Pennsylvania and 19 on Rhode Island. That’s all in January 2014. It’s become a major thing of late. We reiterate that police are not saying this is what caused Hoffman’s death, but officials say “everything’s in play” until they get results from toxicology. We’ll have those results for you when we know them. R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman Photos: Through the Years Open Slideshow 1.
