— TODAY with Hoda & Jenna (@HodaAndJenna) March 31, 2021
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani finally got engaged in October, and now they are getting close to setting a date. At least that is what he told Hoda Kotb on Today today.
“I’m afraid if she and I wait until next November, then I’m right back into ‘The Voice’ cycle again, and I really want to be able to have plenty of time before and after, so hopefully this summer,” Shelton said. “I think we’re right here at the point with COVID, it looks like it may be OK, but don’t know, so that’s tentatively the plan.”
And who does he plan on having as a wedding singer? He still doesn’t know. However, with all of the offers the betrothed couple are getting from the likes of Miley Cyrus and Adam Levine, he is thinking of throwing a concert wedding. I think they should get Donny and Marie Osmond. Why? Because he is a little bit Country and she is a little bit Rock’n’Roll. Although if they sing that song, then the brother and sister will have to change who sings what.
Can you believe that Dolly Parton doesn’t have the Presidential Medal of Freedom? She doesn’t, and Barack Obama regrets not giving it to her.
While he made the mistake, Donald Trump didn’t. In fact, he offered it to her not once but twice. “I couldn’t accept it because my husband was ill and then they asked me again about it and I wouldn’t travel because of the COVID,” Parton told Today’s Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush.
Would she accept one from President Joe Biden? Miss Dolly says, “Now I feel like if I take it, I’ll be doing politics, so I’m not sure.” Not only that, “But I don’t work for those awards,” she continued. “It’d be nice but I’m not sure that I even deserve it. But it’s a nice compliment for people to think that I might deserve it.”
Just like we don’t deserve pets because of their pure love and kindness, we don’t deserve Dolly Parton. She has done so much good in the World that we don’t even know about, and yet she still feels like she doesn’t America’s highest honor. Gd broke the mold when he made her, which is a shame because we need more people like her.
Hoda Kotb was on Watch What Happens Live yesterday. However, it was her old Today co-host Kathie Lee Gifford who was asking the questions and not Andy Cohen. Not for the whole show, just for the Plead the Fifth segment.
What did Gifford want to know? The first, and only interesting question, was who their least favorite guest. Both of them agreed it was the late Frank Sinatra, Jr. Why? Because the Hollywood legacy was there to promote the book that he wrote, and he didn’t want to talk about it. What else is there to talk about with him? Tell us some awkward stories about your dad? Maybe, he could’ve discussed with them the time he was kidnapped. Suddenly the book sounds like a much better conversation for the singer.
Cohen had a story like that. He said that he produced a segment with Gilligan Island’s Ginger for CBS’s morning show, and Tina Louise didn’t want to talk about the series. Then why book her?
Kathie Lee Gifford and her family were on this Sunday’s Celebrity Family Feud, but all everyone could talk about was her son-in-law, Ben Wierda. They were not talking about what a good player he was. Instead, they were all about his tight pants that left very little to the imagination.
And imagination is what Andy Cohen has been using since he saw Wierda’s moose knuckle. Therefore, when he had Gifford on Watch What Happens Live yesterday, he had to ask her if she saw it. “It’s hard to miss it.” The host added, “I’m sorry, but I’m glad it’s not my son. It’s Cassidy’s husband, who I adore.”
Did her family notice his family jewels were on display? They did not because they were so into the game. However, her daughter, Cassidy, tried to warn him before the taping that they might be too revealing for television. He thought they were fine, until they weren’t.
How are Wierda’s reacting to their recent exposure? They are laughing about it. The proud mother-in-law says they all have a great sense of humor about this and everything else. Something they need after all of this excitement.
Ever since HBO Max announced, there is going to be a Friends reunion on their streaming service, that is all everyone wants to know from the six friends. No matter what they are promoting, that is all anyone cares about.
Since it has been delayed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic, reporters and anchors keep asking if it is going to happen. Today, when David Schwimmer was on Today, Hoda Kotb asked him if it is still happening. He confirmed that it is. Just like he has been doing in all of his recent other interviews.
However, I think the new information (because I don’t pay attention to the stories, I just read the headlines) is that there will be some funny bits that will air during the unscripted reunion.
Will it be updates on the characters’ lives? We will find out whenever it is safe enough for them to film it. Therefore, you have to wear a mask if you want this reunion to finally happen. If we can stop the spread, then we can get the reunion already.
Hopefully, one of the bits will be Joey getting a colonoscopy. Matt LeBlanc has sad no one would want to see what they are up to because who wants to see them get a colonoscopy. Let’s find out if they do. I do because this reunion has become such a pain in the a$$, I want them to feel our pain.
