“... the first black — but actually multiracial — president. I mean, to be honest with you, he’s a multiracial president.”

— Ann Curry on “Today” this morning speaking about President Obama and showing off her knowledge of U.S. politics. When is someone going to make her a host of her own show already? [Clip here]

I can’t help it. I loathe Ann Curry. I know she’s supposed to be the cute, cuddly – but still serious! – one on “The Today Show,” but homegirl makes me want to punch something. For starters, she’s a gusher. She fawns over her celebrity interview subjects like she’s on the verge of orgasming from inhaling their talented, sexy, beautiful scent. She glows and raves about their various accomplishments – “So philanthropic!” “You’ve done so much for starving children!” “Your 30 second cameo in this film is cinematic genius!”—and never asks tough questions. She giggles like a school girl who’s seen a boy’s pee-pee for the first time. Oh, and that laugh. That laugh makes me stabby.

The big 4-0 maybe the new 30, but 50 and up are the new twentysomething! From their way with men to their media coverage, the only hot flashes these ladies suffer from are from the paparazzi! Just check out these celeb sex symbols:

Cher This fierce fashionista may be suiting up as Catwoman at 62! Rumor has it, she is director Christopher Nolan’s first choice to play the purring vixen in the next Batman movie.  He wants a vamp that’s adored by younger men—in this case, the younger men may be gay, but hey, she still rocks!

 

 

Post Today Show interview, in which Ann Curry shamelessly threw herself at the star. Not that we’re judging, because we would too. [New York City, 6/23/08]
