Ann Curry strikes again

Please watch the video above before proceeding with this post.


[Editor's note] Ok. Now that you've seen it, let's talk about Ann Curry. From her obnoxiously bright outfit to the reference mistake at the end, this clip pretty much sums up every exasperating characteristic in Ann's arsenal of annoying.

Did you really have to name all those people while standing in gale force winds, Ann? Did you really?

What gets me most about this whole thing is that she is completely unaware of how annoying she is. Matt and Al know it (Did you notice the look they exchanged while she was droning on with that list?). I'm sure Katie and Meredith knew it, too. The crew of the Today show for sure know it. And dare I say, AMERICA knows it. Yet she, the epicenter of all things detestable in morning news, remains blissfully in the dark.

I wish I didn't feel this way about her. I also wish she'd stop hogging the lines from Matt. I wish she'd stop making jokes that no one gets or laughs at. I wish she'd stop badgering her interviewees. I wish she'd stop leaning into her interviewees. I wish she'd let her interviewees respond completely without her interruptions. I wish she would stop interjecting with her opinions on things, no one cares. Above and beyond all else, I wish she would stop throwing herself at Brad Pitt.

Someone once told me that if you ever want to ruin some one's day, just honk your horn at them. That's what Ann Curry is for me-- an annoying early morning horn honk.

You know....I actually liked her and her personality a lot when she had her old position. Now in this lead role she IS becoming annoying.

There's a Facebook page "Ann Curry Sucks" where others vent about how annoying and phony she is! How boring she is -- with no wit whatsoever and stupid statements. Can't wait to get rid of this woman!

OMG..YES! I thought for sure I was the only one sitting here suffering, yes SUFFERING in silence! I love the Today Show, but she sucks! I didn't like her on the newsdesk, I hated her on Dateline and I dreaded her filling in for Meredith and Katie...I literally have nothing else to add---your list of wishes is completely the exact replica of all the stuff I hate that she does...I'm no morning person, but now I can't even fake it because I get that annoying tingle up the back of my neck that you get when someone scratches a chalkboard or scrapes their fork on a plate...she is horrible! Can't NBC see that even Matt and Al can't stand her????

Ric Alonso resigns from pageant association after porn revelation

Image
Kevin Hogan wasn't the only person this week ambushed out of a job for his participation in the gay adult film industry. FOX News reports : Ric Alonso and his partner of 21 years, Ernie Koneck, have both been both prominent power players in the Southern California Scholarship Association — an incorporated not-for-profit association — which produces the Miss Hollywood pageant, an official preliminary to Miss California, and a feeder to Miss America. Alonso is listed as the first “major sponsor” for 2011 scholarship donations, while partner Koneck has been the pageantry point of contact and is featured in photographs alongside the smiling young sashed pageant contestants. On Tuesday, Alonso was exposed by RadarOnline as adult film actor and producer "Jake Cruise". FOX News adds: Following the revelation, Koneck announced his resignation Tuesday as Executive Director of the Southern California Scholarship Association, and said Alonso was in no way involved in the Miss Holl...

Regarding the Barry Manilow concert in Coral Gables

Image
[ Editor's note ] Three monumental things have happened to me at the BankUnited Center. In 2004, my high school held its graduation ceremony there. In 2008, I heard presidential nominee Barack Obama speak about the future. And this past Saturday night, I saw the incomparable Barry Manilow perform in concert. To say that Barry remains every bit the superstar I was hoping for is putting it mildly. At 67 years young, he brought all the magic, the smiles, and the bandstand boogie he's famous for and then some. Funny, talented and charmingly self-deprecating, Barry Manilow remains without equal. Admittedly, the night started off rather poorly. Barry’s opening act was a man named Gerry McCambridge who has allegedly been wowing audiences at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas since 2005. As the creative force and inspiration behind the TV show The Mentalist , McCambridge's schtick is to do clever things with numbers. Honestly, I've never thought that doing anything with numbers w...

Gay porn actor Timothy Boham found guilty of murder in Denver

Image
Update on last week's story . Towleroad reports : It was almost two-and-a-half years ago when Timothy Boham (known also by his adult film persona Marcus Allen) was taken into custody just steps away from the Mexico border, on the run following the murder of Denver businessman John "JP" Kelso.Yesterday he was convicted of murdering Kelso, his former boss and sexual partner, and will spend the rest of his life in jail: Timothy Boham, 28, was found guilty by a nine-woman, three-man jury in Denver District Court of first-degree murder after deliberation, felony murder and aggravated assault. Colorado law mandates that someone found guilty of first-degree murder must spend the rest of their life in prison, without the possibility of parole. Judge Will Hood Jr. will hand down the sentence Tuesday. The jury took less than five hours to convict Boham, whose lawyers — Amber St. Clair and Kristan Wheeler — claimed that his victim, wealthy Denver businessman J.P. Kelso, committed su...
