The White House Party Crashers say they're anything but -- and this morning said they are certain they'll be "completely exonerated" when all the details come out.
Tareq and Michaele Salahi were on "Today," where they said they were "devastated" and "shocked" by claims they weren't invited to the White House state dinner -- and are currently working with the secret service to clear their name.
They claim they have documentation proving they were guests -- we haven't seen it yet, but we gotta ask ...
The Larimer County Sheriff's Office just held a press conference on the Heene family's flying saucer caper -- and they said, as of now, they feel it was a "real event" and not a hoax.
Sheriff Jim Alderden said Falcon's parents "expressed statements, non verbal communication, body language, and emotions that were consistent with the events taking place."
He confirmed Richard Heene called the FAA first, then a local TV station before calling 911 -- because 9 News had a helicopter they believed could help the situation.
Also interesting to note -- Falcon's parents were asked if they wanted to be present when investigators interviewed him yesterday, but they didn't care, so he went solo.
Alderdon said the video of Falcon from Larry King has raised skepticism in the department and they will re-interview the family tomorrow -- giving the boy time to recover from that puke filled interview on "Today."
Tate went on the "Today" show this morning, claiming Polanski wouldn't get a fair trial stateside for the rape of a then-13-year-old-girl back in 1977 -- because our "system is broken" -- and the matter would be better served in France ... whatever that means -- France can't prosecute him.
Tate added there's a difference between "rape and rape" -- and this was "a consensual matter."
Jesus may be holding Spencer Pratt back from engaging in fisticuffs with Al Roker, but the wascally weatherman says he could have taken him -- and woulda "dumped him like a bag of dirt!"
Roker also defended himself against Heidi's accusations he belongs in the He-Man Woman Haters Club, saying he's interviewed hundreds of women before and never had a single complaint.
Al Roker owes his life to religion -- because Spencer Pratt claims he would have ripped the dude's head off this morning ... if he hadn't recently been "saved by Jesus." Hallelujah!
The Pratts were leaving Planet Hollywood in NYC this afternoon where they unloaded on the weatherman again -- calling him "disrespectful" and "inappropriate."
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."
Al Roker made a big no-no when he whipped out his camera phone to Twitter from jury duty -- and according to the "Today" show graphics department and Meredith Vieira, who was in London this morning, it's an international scandal.
"Biblically correct" Miss California, Carrie Prejean, was just on "Today" -- where she said there could definitely be more racy photos on the way, as long as there are more photographers out there "willing to make an extra buck."
She also tried explaining the whole "windy day" excuse a bit more -- even dropping the dreaded Janet Jackson term "wardrobe malfunction." Oh Lawd.
Minutes after Bristol Palin preached about abstinence being the best way to prevent teen pregnancy, her baby daddy was already calling her out on a morning show of his own...
Levi Johnston told "The Early Show," "I don't just think telling young kids, 'you can't have sex' ... it's not going to work ... it's not realistic."
For the record, the unwed teenage parents did use protection ... some of the time.
Just what every kid wants to hear: If she could do it all over again, Bristol Palin would have made Levi Johnston keep it in his pants.
Despite calling her 4-month-old son "the best thing that ever happened" to her, VP wannabeen Sarah Palin's 19-year-old daughter was on "GMA" this morning promoting teenage abstinence. Whose bright idea was this?!
With a fire in her eye unlike any we've ever seen, Kathie Lee Gifford unleashed a ferocious, merciless beating on a poor, defenseless pinata this morning on "Today."
Tyra Banks pantsed her entire audience for one of her shows. Fortunately for viewers, most of the crowd was hot. Funny how that worked out. You can say a lot about Tom Cruise, and we do, but he's definitely no K-Fed when it comes to his kids. See Tom and baby Suri rush past photogs for Italian dinner. Que bella! "24" star Elisha Cuthbert doesn't take kindly to mistakes. Just ask the valets at Hyde, who felt "The Wrath of Cuthbert" after they gave her the wrong keys to her car. Damn girl, chillax.
Matt Lauer joked on "Today" this morning that he received an invitation to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding in Italy this weekend. Yeah, right.
When asked if he'd gotten his invite, Matt said, "I did. It was addressed to 'Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt.'" Hehehe.
Last year, in a highly publicized interview, Lauer and Cruise got into it over the use of prescription drugs and psychiatry. Besides uttering Matt's name over and over again, Cruise also gave us the memorable line, "Don't be glib."
It's good to see that Matt and Tom have buried the hatchet... where it belongs.
In an interview airing Wednesday and Thursday on "Today" and Wednesday on "Dateline NBC," Madonna tells Meredith Vieira in detail about her controversial adoption of David, a 1-year-old boy from Malawi.
When asked about the media coverage the story has received, Madonna said, "With all the chaos, pain and suffering in the world, the fact that my adoption of a child ...who was living in an orphanage, you know, was the number one story for a week in the world. To me, that says more about what...our inability to focus on the real problems. And our desire to have distractions and to be consumed with people's personal lives and gossip."
With Meredith Vieira's debut on "Today" this morning, the game of musical anchor chairs between Vieira, Katie Couric and Rosie O'Donnell is now complete. So we're left to wonder: which of these women will score big in the ratings and which will fall flat on her face? Couric scored 13 million viewers in her debut as anchor of "The CBS Evening News" and, while her audience declined slightly by week's end, she still led NBC and ABC by three million viewers. But week two has gotten off to a poor start as Katie dropped to third place on Monday with 7.49 million viewers, slightly behind ABC's 7.87 million and NBC's 8.27 million.
Katie anchored Monday's newscast, the fifth anniversary of 9/11, from Ground Zero and seemed to have trouble holding back tears as she closed the telecast.
While rumors of Rosie O'Donnell clashing with her fellow "View" co-hosts have surfaced (who didn't see that coming?), Rosie's debut on the show also equaled ratings gold -- four million people tuned in, a 54% bump over the same day last year.
Sources have told TMZ that Rosie has complained about the show's production and that Elisabeth Hasselbeck has been openly hostile to her. Rosie even butted heads with Barbara Walters before Rosie even debuted -- Walters didn't approve of Rosie's cryptic blog messages she wrote on her site.
Rosie's rep denies rumors of bad blood, saying, "Everyone gets along great."
And finally, it will take a few days to see how Meredith Vieira does in her new locale, but the former "View"-er did show signs of at least being somewhat nervous (who wouldn't be?) as she flubbed a line on her first toss to commercial break.
