12. Tell It Like It Is Award: Ice-T and his voluptuous wife Coco compare their Twitter follower counts on Ice Loves Coco. It's no contest — she's more than 100,000 followers ahead, which she attributes to her upbeat tone. "My conversations are always positive and happy," she says. "You're a little more hardcore. I think that has something to do with it." Ice's understated reply tells the real story: "You have 270,000 people looking at your pictures because you look good in pictures."

Hoda and Kathie Lee

But the joke's on us for even considering that they could put down the cocktails and feel the burn by working out for a full hour on Friday's episode, which encouraged viewers to exercise along at home. Less than five minutes in, the gals, riding stationary bikes, needed a water break. Assistant Sal — in full Richard Simmons gear ...

Ohhh…shut-down! Talk about Kathy Lee and Hoda getting put in their place during a cooking segment within the morning show's fourth hour last week. The two ladies were yammering on as per usual when the chef told the co-hosts to shut their pie-holes for once and listen (well, maybe not in those exact words, but you get the idea). Brace yourself for one of the most awkward talk show moments we've seen in a good while.

Hoda Kotb, the coanchor of the fourth hour of NBC's Today show, announced today that she had a mastectomy earlier this year after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Kotb, who has been with NBC News since 1992, revealed her personal story Thursday morning on Today, sharing excerpts from a video diary she kept during the days before and after the surgery. "Cancer gave me the gift of being fearless," Kotb told colleague Ann Curry on Today, in the first of two segments presented today (the second is planned for Friday). "What I get from this whole horrible ordeal is 'You can’t scare me.'" Kotb said she was encouraged by a stranger she met on an airplane to share the experience with viewers. "I’m six months after a mastectomy and I feel great," she said. "There’s hope out there."At the end of the first part of the tear-filled segment, Kotb jokingly asked for makeup. —Reporting by Stephen Battaglio
