Matt Lauer hit by deer=HILARIOUS


So Today show hunk (yes I said hunk, and I've seen him in person so it's not just the TV lights that get me) Matt Lauer will be undergoing surgery for a separated shoulder after a reported bike-deer accident. I hope you are laughing as hard as I am right now at reading that.
Lauer was supposedly riding his bike when a deer ran out in front of him causing him to slam on his breaks, flip off the bike, and separate his shoulder. Ryan Seacrest reports that Matt will undergo surgery sometime today as a result.
I come from a town where the deer practically outnumber the people, so hearing this put a smile on my face. I feel bad that Lauer got hurt, but the fact that he suffered his injury as a result of dodging a deer makes for an AWESOME story. How many people do you know have had a bike-deer accident? That's what I thought.

NKOTB:Bringing back The Right Stuff

So they're a little older, but that doesn't mean that the New Kids on the Block aren't any worse looking than they were when they originally won over girls hearts fourteen years ago. Rainsoaked women stood wearing NKOTB apparel in front of the stage at the Today show hoping to get a glimpse of their one-time idols. Sadly the boys-scratch that-the MEN didn't perform...but they did say they'd be making a return trip to the show for their first performance on May 16th.
Check out their appearance here:

The Buzz

*Will you have "The Right Stuff"?
-What seems like forever ago EBUZZ reported that "New Kids On the Block", the precursor to the boy band blitz that was "Backstreet Boys", "NSYNC" and "98 Degrees", would be making a comeback. The wait is over! The reunion will kick off with an April 4th appearance on the Today show.
I just want to know whether they are going to bring back the dancing because after listening to a few of their songs I've discovered their vocals were NOT what made them popular.

*Speaking of Today...
-Matt Lauer has announced that Kathy Lee Gifford will be appearing on daytime TV again when she joins the fourth hour of the Today show starting April 7th.
Honestly, do they think a 54 year old has-been is going to help their ratings?

*Anything You can do I can do better.
-Nickelodeon is obviously feeling the pressure from the recent slew of Disney's successful TV shows/movies. The kids network has decided if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. If the Naked Brothers Band wasn't enough of a rip off of Hannah Montana, the network is now set to produce Spectacular a made for TV movie that draws from High School Musical's success.
According to PerezHilton.com, "Spectacular centers on a preppy high school girl who is part of the school's Spectacular choir. The group is in sad shape, with its most talented members either having graduated or been stolen away by a rival squad. The preppy sees salvation in a cocky rock guy who reluctantly joins the choir to win a money prize that would finance his rock 'n' roll dreams. But the rocker doesn't factor in falling for the preppy girl."
If the male lead they cast looks ANYTHING like Zac Efron I'm going to laugh my a** off.

*A celebrity in the hospital because they are actually sick
-Normally when you hear a celeb has checked into a hospital it's because they've a)Gone crazy (Brit that's for you) or b.) are having drug or alcohol related issues (that's for everyone else). Jessica Simpson, however, is breaking that mold as she checked into Cedar's for an ACTUAL MEDICAL PROBLEM. Simpson was diagnosed with a Kidney infection

*Dude, "Wipe Out" could be like, totally narly
-Admit it, you love watching people biff. Don't lie. The kid who tried running on the ice and face planted made you day. And, that is what ABC is banking on. The network is teaming up with Endemol USA to produce "Wipe Out", a new show hoping to capitalize on people's obsession with..well wiping out. If you have seen the show on Spike TV where the Japanese people run through the obstacle courses and suffer from horrific falls, then you've already previewed "Wipe Out" which will operate under a similar platform.
