Lynne Spears Book Tour to Address The Real Victim: Lynne Spears
It ain't easy being Lynne Spears: sure, you can live off the wealth accumulated from your daughters' hard work and sell their teen pregnancy secrets to OK! for a million dollars, but occasionally, people will think you're a bad parent! That's why it's important for Lynne to set the record straight, and the Today Show gave her just the forum this morning. Hawking her book Through the Storm, Lynne discussed the perils of overexposing your children, something that will surely be nipped in the bud by her incredibly revealing tell-all about daughter Britney's loss of virginity. Congratulations, Lynne: here's your celebratory Cheeto. [Today] -

Martha Stewart Is No Lush, But She Sure Loves Getting Talk Show Hosts Trashed
After gleefully watching along as Martha Stewart doused Conan O'Brien with all sorts of lush-inducing cocktails, from Guinness to gin to mystery concoctions, we put on our thinking caps and sorted through our clip-clustered memories. After we cleared the cobwebs a bit, we remembered that this wasn't the first time Martha shared her love of liquor with television hosts. Loyal Defamer readers will recall her 8am rise-and-shine mixers with Meredith Vieira on The Today Show last month, and insomniacs will certainly remember her booze-on-the-brain appearance on The Late Show last week (in which she listed at least four indecipherable drinks she calls her "favorites"). But her fondness of ladylike cocktails doesn't stop there. Intrepid Defamer Videographer™ Molly McAleer put together a burp-filled mashup of our favorite Professional Housewife's alcohol-drenched appearances of late; as always, video is available the jump.

Meredith Vieira Asks Hillary Why She Insists On Losing
Earlier on Today, Matt Lauer lobbed a couple softballs at John McCain, then Meredith Vieira interviewed Hillary Clinton with some tough, contentious questions about why, precisely, the former first lady hadn't just locked this goddamn nomination up already. Because she's a liar? Then Matt Lauer had a genial chat with Barack Obama. LEAVE HILLARY ALONE! -

Martha Stewart and Meredith Viera Jumpstart Their Day With Booze For Breakfast
Why the Today Show waited so long to combine massive martinis, Meredith Vieira and Martha Stewart into a segment is beyond us. After watching two of the most regal small screen dames tip back an early morning stiff one, we're ready to hand the producers a Daytime Emmy. The festivities began with Martha calmly asking Meredith if she'd prefer gin or vodka in her martini (no Cosmos for these boozehounds), Meredith got all flustered and said, "Uhhhh, whatever you recommend?!" Martha's suggestion? "I like vodka!" More » -

Report: NBC Paying $1 Million To Record Paris Hilton's First Post-Jail Crocodile Tears
It feels like only yesterday that Paris Hilton was re-jailed after one magical night of luxuriating in the freedom of home-imprisonment, but the moment when she finally emerges from an unjust incarceration and shines as a Mandelaesque beacon of hope to all of those affected by Los Angeles County's oppressive system of celebutardtheid is nigh. And when Hilton exits the Century Regional Detention Facility sometime next week, she will need to be greeted by a television camera and a friendly face to ease her transition into her new role as Goodwill Ambassador for Stuff She Cares About Now.

At What Point Does It Stop Being 'A New Day at Today'?
This one's a doozy, a dauntingly long clip, but worth it just for the total mindmelt that was this morning's Today show. Apparently the world is so lacking in news that producers were actually able to air a six-minute segment on how Meredith Vieira — she's the new co-host, have you heard? — is, you know, THE NEW CO-HOST! Complete with sweeping soundtracks and a whirlwind look back at her first two weeks, this is clearly one for the show's forthcoming montage of montages. -

Remembering Meredith Vieira's First Day
We were crippled with indecision this morning, unable to declare which moment from Meredith Vieira's debut on the Today show was so horribly cloying as to merit hosting a clip — but now there's no question that this is it. At the end of the show, it's two minutes of magic, Meredith Vieira's First Day Highlight Reel, a moving look back at everything that happened two hours ago. Your ears will bleed, but your heart will soar when you see the "first half-hour" high five. -

This Will All Be Really Sad if She's Canned in Two Months
It's now two hours into Meredith Vieira's debut on the Today show, and we can muster but one feeling: nausea. Not because Vieira's bad — she actually blends seamlessly, as if she'd spent her life preparing for friendly on-air flirtation with Matt Lauer. And she's pretty, so we automatically like her.

Meredith Vieira Cannot Sit with Us at Lunch Anymore
Watching The View used to be one of those guilty little pleasures you did in secret, like eating a whole pint of Cherry Garcia in one sitting, or reading.

There's Only One Speechwriter in Morning Television
Now that it's been a good week since Katie Couric and Meredith Vieira announced their respective farewells, we've moved past the teary hysterics and can finally take a logical look at the situation. Thinking clearly, we realize that Katie's departure and Meredith's move to the Today Show really won't be that big of a deal — as a handy video from Comedy Central shows, the two women are the exact same person.
