No, that's not the new Al Roker doll -- that's actually the 5'8" weatherman standing next to the world's tallest man -- 8'1" Sultan Kosen.

Al just posted his pic with the Turkish herdsman on his Twitter page.
It's the smallest Al's ever looked!

In the "We've Been Used" department -- the hateable duo that quit "I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" and then threatened to sue the show is coming back.
Heidi and Spencer are in a first class torture chamber (seats 1A and 1B) right now ... heading back to Costa Rica.
So the whole Al Roker feud, was a giant ruse -- we think.
Looks like they would rather deal with spiders than lose their coveted spot on the C-list.

Heidi Pratt wants to warn any woman who comes on the "Today" show that Al Roker may have it in for them!

Heidi, who claims Roker viciously attacked her and hubby Spencer Pratt on the air this morning, tells us Al "was incredibly rude and was verbally assaulting me... I would warn any people, especially women, who are going on the show to watch out for him."
Heidi also said she had no idea Roker was going to interview them: "I just thought he did weather. I thought he was coming to tell me it's sunny in New York."
Spencer was even funnier. He told us: "I never in my wildest dreams thought a weatherman would treat us like we just rigged the Iranian election."

Here it is -- Al Roker's hard nosed interview that dug at the heart of Heidi and Spencer. But did he go too far?

Roker unleashed a barrage of questions at the pair in an attempt to find out if they're really the "jerks" they come off to be on television.
Right after the interview, Roker and Speidi each went to different media outlets to bash the other. Heidi told Ryan Seacrest she felt "personally attacked." So the question now is ...

Nobody saw this in the five-day forecast -- Al Roker raining down some serious trash talk on Heidi and Spencer!!

Minutes after he interviewed the reality pair on the "Today" show, Roker went right to his Twitter page (naturally), and unleashed the following attack:
Heidi and Spencer are an interesting couple. famous for...being infamous. Bad and vacuous behavior. I think we're at minute 11 of their 15.
And then there's this -- minutes before the Twitter attack, Heidi ripped the weatherman on Ryan Seacrest's radio for "personally attacking" her on live TV:
"I was shocked at how rude he was - I was crying afterwards because I couldn't believe I felt personally attacked ... I wanted to say to him, do you feel proud of how you're talking to me right now? I'm just a young woman and you're coming at me so aggressively and meanly [sic] and mean-spirited."
She added, "I just wanted to talk about the show and my experience there and how fun it was, and he just made it a very uncomfortable and awful experience ... I really would advise women especially to be careful around him because I feel like he definitely came and attacked me and I did not appreciate that at all."
Story developing...

Al Roker just pulled a big no-no -- according to a court official we spoke with in New York.
Al -- who is on jury duty -- took a pic in the jury assembly room in a NYC courtroom. The pic shows some of the prospective jurors -- Al posted it on his Twitter page. The official told us no one is allowed to take such pics -- but Al's rep just told us Mr. Roker got permission from a court official.

We just called the court official back and told them that Al got the OK. The official said if Al really did get permission to take the pic, the person who approved it "was ill-advised." The official said it's not OK, but if Al got bogus advice, it's not his fault.
Al just posted the following comment on his Twitter page:
"I'm not breaking laws...just trying to share the experience of jury duty. One that I think is important and everyone should take part in ... So everyone is clear, I am NOT taking pictures in the courtroom. I am in the jury lounge. So folks need to lighten up."

Damn you, Willard Scott! Thanks to you, our heads are scarred forever with the mental image of Al Roker and his "chilly willy."

Ever notice how some of your favorite celebs lose more than just weight when they go on a health kick? Being healthy should definitely be a priority, but there's no doubt that sometimes jokes get bigger laughs when they come from bigger bodies.
In their quest to avoid becoming another plus-sized comedy casualty like Belushi, Candy or Farley, some stars have had to sacrifice their funny bone in order to shed their big bones.
Check out which celebs traded being fun for being fit.

He's only two-thirds the man he used to be, but Al Roker won't be eating heartily to celebrate 10 years on NBC's "Today" show. He's dieting.
"Today" was to mark the formerly rotund weatherman's anniversary on the air Friday.
"I was just thrilled to get the gig to begin with," Roker told The Associated Press. "Ten years later to still have it is not only thrilling but also somewhat of a puzzlement."
Due to his gastric bypass operation in 2002, Roker spent the past few years as the incredibly shrinking man. With the Winter Olympics again near, his thoughts drift to the Salt Lake City games in 2002, just weeks before he went into surgery.
"I ate myself stupid," he said. "I thought, `I'm never going to eat like this again.' The only trick was to make sure I didn't have a heart attack before I did the deal."

Thin is in, or so it is said in Hollywood. Take a look at some of the most drastic transformation from fat cat to zowie wowie.
Not so long ago, TV talk show hosts such as Jenny Jones and Ricki Lake were the doyennes of the makeover beat. But in a new millennium twist that not even trusty old Nostradamus predicted, reality TV and celebrities have now largely edged Joe and Joan Blo out of the before-and-after picture. And thanks, in the latter case, to friends in high product placement places, these celebs can anchor their personal betterments around the holy grail of any celebrity crash diet: the freebie.
Who looks lively and who just needs an IV?
