Meredith Vieira


Meredith Vieira will leave the "Today" show in June and be replaced by Ann Curry, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Natalie Morales will reportedly take Curry's place as the show's newsreader. The move will shake up NBC News' most lucrative show, which has been the top rated morning program for over 800 weeks. There have also been rumors that Matt Lauer is considering leaving when his contract is up in 2012, though it is seen to be unlikely.

WATCH Charlie Sheen's INSANE Today Show Interview: 'I'm A Rock Star From Mars'

The Today Show began airing their pre-taped, mulit-segment interview with Charlie Sheen this morning.

And yes, it is just as crazy as you thought it was going to be.

Sheen, who looks as though he as aged about 20 years since last he appeared on camera, says among other things that he is a "rock star from Mars" and that he is going to return to Two And A Half Men...but expects a raise.  Some highlights:

On continuing the show: "I'm not angry. I'm passionate. Everyone thinks I should be begging for my job back. I'm going to forewarn them that it's everybody else that will be begging me for their job back. I'm a man of my word. I will finish the show and even do season 10. At this point because of emotional distress it's $3 million an episode, take it or leave it....I'm underpaid now."

On getting, er, sober: "I said, 'Dude, you're 45 and have 5 kids, let's do something different."

NBC's chyron: "Sheen to CBS: Apologize 'while licking my feet.'"

"Tired of pretending I'm not special... [I'm] a rock star from Mars."
