Al Roker
Al Roker has set folks atwitter by taking pictures from jury duty and posting them on his Twitter page.
The Today show weather man posted this picture from the jury assembly room of a New York courthouse Thursday morning. The photo shows prospective jurors, which is not allowed, a court official told TMZ.
Roker responded via Twitter that a court official told him pictures were only prohibited in the courtroom, and thus the photos he snapped in the assembly room and jury lounge were OK.
"So everyone is clear, I am NOT taking pictures in the courtroom," Roker wrote. "I am in the jury lounge. So folks need to lighten up.
"I'm not breaking laws...just trying to share the experience of jury duty," he continued. "One that I think is important and everyone should take part in."

We're big Chris Brown fans here, but despite how much he rocked the plaza on the Today show last Friday, we couldnt help but chuckle through the whole thing. Not only did his bodyguard get a little overzealous smacking the teen girls hands away around the minute mark, but seeing Lester, Ann and Al rock out while singing "I need you, Boo" at the end was priceless! Watch the video now!

Looks like Janice Dickinson's big mouth has got her into a boatload of trouble yet again. During and interview with Al Roker yesterday on the Today Show, the self-proclaimed supermodel stuck up for Jennifer Love Hewitt stating she looked "healthy." But rather than leaving it at that, Dickinson definitely stuck her foot in her mouth when she continued on to say "You want to see someone who's fat, I'm sorry, Tyra, Tyra Banks is fat." When Roker stopped her mid sentence to call her out on that comment, she unconvincingly explained she was kidding. See for yourself.Dickinson's publicist more than likely sat her down in an attempt to run some damage control because when she appeared later on The Star Jones Show, she managed to bring up her "stupid comment" towards the end of her interview, re-emphasizing that she was just kidding. Do you buy it? Or do you think she's just trying to cover her behind?

A conference call arranged by NBC so that reporters could talk with Today anchors Matt Lauer, Ann Curry and Al Roker about their new "Ends of the Earth" feature was a lot more interesting than the norm. According to the New York Post, a potty-mouthed prankster infiltrated the ranks of press peeps on the line not once but twice and asked the hosts some seriously off-color questions. Afterward, Mitovich was given a bar of soap and told that he knew what to do with it. Ben Katner

Tikit Barber, Meredith Viera and Matt Lauer by Virginia Sherwood/NBC
Tiki Barber may have broken the New York Giants all-time rushing record, but hes finding his most rewarding breakthrough with his post-NFL career as a coanchor on Today and Football Night in America."Its fabulous and fulfilling in many different ways," Barber said Oct. 22 at the 2007 Quill Awards in New York City. "Im growing and learning as I go, just like my football career. You start out small and start seeing where your dreams go. Thats what Im trying to do."Today, which recently added an additional fourth hour of programming, has gotten some competition from ABCs Good Morning America, which is creeping up in the ratings.
