How might the potential firing of Ann Curry bring about a reunion between one of TV’s most beloved tandems? Well… Rumors are circulating that if when Curry is let go by The Today Show , her seat will be filled by Hota Kotb , who currently hosts the program’s fourth hour alongside Kathie Lee Gifford. This, of course, would leave an empty chair alongside Kathie Lee… and it might be occupied by Regis Philbin, sources say! Philbin and Gifford, of course, spent years by each other’s side on Live! every morning until the latter left in 2001 and was replaced by Kelly Ripa. Regis then retired from the program this year. NBC “absolutely loves Regis , and want to formally sign him to become a special contributor to Today and work with the network on entertainment specials,” an insider tells Radar Online. “If Hoda is chosen to become Matt Lauer’s co-anchor, Regis would be the natural choice to replace her.” Would you want to see Regis and Kathie Lee reunite on Today?

Oh, live television. You can’t hit rewind! Kathie Lee Gifford’s legendary on-air gaffe yesterday, in which she asked Today Show guest Martin Short how he keeps his marriage alive — unaware that Short’s wife Nancy passed away in 2010 after battling cancer, I mean seriously — blew up Wednesday as America caught wind of the cringe-worthy moment and Kathie Lee’s shame went viral. At least she had the good sense to apologize for making the most horrifying live-interview faux pas in recent memory. “I send my sincerest apologies to @MartinShort and his family,” Griffin tweeted. “He handled situation w/enormous grace and kindness and I’m so grateful.” Never mind the minor fact that @MartinShort is not the actor’s Twitter, either. But hey, it’s the sentiment that counts, right? Poor Short, there to promote Madagascar 3 ; he just wanted to chop it up about some animated animals. And then, the look of masked horror on his face as he plays along, politely… *shudder* [via Gossip Cop ]
Kim Kardashian may be posing in lingerie for the world to see, but sources tell Life & Style this reality star only gets down and dirty for one man these days: Kanye West. Indeed, the rumored couple spent the weekend together in New York City, witnesses and the following photo confirm, with an insider saying Kim and Kanye went out on a late-night date Friday and lasted until 3 a.m. According to the tabloid, “it was clear Kim and Kanye couldn’t wait another second to see each other because he showed up at the hotel she’s staying at just moments after she checked in!” Following a meal at Mercer Kitchen, Kardashian reportedly stayed over at Kanye’s apartment. If you know what we mean! “They looked very happy to see each other and in love,” said an anonymous onlooker who saw the pair at dinner. During a co-hosting stint on The Today Show earlier this month, Kim was asked about Kanye and, of course, remained coy and evasive. Shocker of shockers, we’ll likely need to tune in to season seven of Keeping Up with the Kardashians to learn more.

Get ready to double-exhale, folks: It looks like both the Arrested Development movie and Sin City 2 are finally happening at long last — and both are reportedly set to film this summer. Hurrah! That said, Deadline admits that none of the Arrested Development cast have been inked just yet even as Will Arnett let slip on The Today Show that the long-awaited big screen adaptation was on track for a summer shoot. Meanwhile, Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is set to film in Austin, with casting to begin next week. [ Today Show , Playlist ]
Most people would be shocked to learn that Lauren Conrad of Laguna Beach and The Hills fame is a New York Times best-selling author, several times over. Lauren Conrad is one of those people. “We were doing the inside cover of the beauty book I’m working on, and under ‘also by’ it listed all my other books. I was like, ‘When did this happen?’” Three years after she made her writing debut with the L.A. Candy series, she’s back on shelves with the first book in a new trilogy, The Fame Game . In stores tomorrow, it follows Heidi Montag -like character Madison Parker, another Audrina Patridge-like character, and two other Hollywood hopefuls. As they star in a new spin-off series and adjust to life as reality TV stars, obvi. There’s a soap opera’s-worth of drama, a fake-it-for-the-cameras relationship, and a whole lot of mascara-tears. How much of it did she pull from real life? Quite a bit. The entertainment value in Conrad’s page-turners is about separating the moments based on LC’s behind-the-scene anecdotes from fiction. “The most fun for me is being able to tell all the little tricks that people do in the media,” Conrad told EW. “Mostly, the shameless ones in terms of calling their own photographers, leaking their own stories, the little things.” “The thing people don’t really know but everyone in the industry knows.” The characters in this novel are pretty shameless so it’s no wonder even the 26-year-old’s own editor struggled with playing the fact or fiction game. “My editor would always go, ‘I don’t know if this seem realistic. Is this something that could actually happen?’ I’dsay, ‘it did happen. That’s a real story.’” Conrad’s tale doesn’t require any deep thinking, but it also doesn’t really aspire to. You’re just going along with Madison and the other girls for the ride. “One of my biggest goals, especially with writing YA novels, is just to have people enjoy reading,” she said. “I remember being in high school and it was so forced because everything I read through most of school was assigned reading. “I love the idea of giving girls a book that they can read and enjoy reading.” [Photo: WENN.com]
