Pepsi or Coke. Georgia or Auburn. Spender or Saver. Democrat or Republican. Robert or Carter. All classic and polarizing questions that have caused many a debate. However, there is nothing more polarizing for an US Weekly loving, nail painting, E! News watching, Neiman Marcus sale rack perusing woman than…Angie v. Jen!! We’ve all picked a side by now, but every time another person we think we can count on breaks our Jen An lovin heart (Reader Kenny), we remember that this debate will never be settled. Two questions for the ladies: 1) who do you like better and 2) who would you rather look like? Fellas – feel free to weigh in too.

We have LONG been devotees of the Today Show. We’ve watched it for years, and we’ve read every book we can find out our hero, Katie Couric (how can you not love a smart, ex-cheerleader with style?). Sure we don’t love Meredith, despite throwing in the towel on the campaign against her, but for the most part, we’ve been long time loyal patrons. But lately, it’s really gotten out of control. Not only are there FAR too many gimmicky comedic schticks that should be reserved for Leno and Letterman (Meredith at the McDonald’s drive thru – come on), but when they do report the news, it’s all about funny looking babies and new diet tricks. Look, this is the staff of elaney, we aren’t looking for only hard news in wartorn countries, but the Today Show is starting to insult our intelligence. At least later in the day, Horrible Hoda and KLG call a spade a spade and don’t pretend to be actual news. And so we’ve decided, not flippantly and with deep regret, to make a switch. Sigh. Never thought this day would come. What to you recommend for catching the morning news?

We love Hollywood and we love good causes. When they are married together, we call it a match made in heaven. That’s why we support ET contributor Mark Steines (Reader Caca’s boss) and his new book See the Light: A Passage to Sierra Leone. The book photo documents the journey Mark and “Everybody Loves Raymond” star Patricia Heaton took to Sierra Leone, and all proceeds go directly back to Lighthouse Medical Missions. It’s not cheap ($64.95), but it is impactful. Purchase the book here.

Pop culture is fiiiiiine. It is fiiiiine to read a little Us Weekly and watch a lil’ E. Don’t even worry about it. But it’s also important to try to make pop culture a better place. Who can you not hear about anymore? Who do you wish could be removed from the E True Hollywood Story rotation? Who do you think needs to get up out of the news and pull a Demi Moore move to the midwest?

For most of our lives, we’ve loved Katie Couric. We love her cute style, her wit, her fun loving personality. How she says “New York women don’t wear panty hose.” She’s just so cool! And she made mornings for years and years so informed and interesting. Fast forward to Fall 2006. When Merideth Vieira came to the Today Show, we were not happy. We didn’t like how she always commented on Matt’s good looks (so awkward), her goofy jokes, how she always rolled up her notes and hit Al with them, but today…we’ve decided to offer a truce. Maybe it’s Joel McHale that has made the Today Show fun again, but you know what else, we like Merideth. She’s not perfect. She’ll never have Katie’s spot in our heart. But she’s not all bad. Even if she does wear panty hose. What do you think? Do you like Meredith?
