Almost 9 million people watched Farrah's Story, the documentary about actress Farrah Fawcett's life and struggle with cancer, on NBC this past Friday night.

Based on the positive reception and Fawcett's own wishes, it has been announced that another special will be produced soon.

“We haven’t stopped filming, and we’re going to make a second installment on her life,” Farrah's longtime companion, Ryan O'Neal, told Meredith Vieira on the Today show this morning.

What better way to kick off your Monday than with Joey, Danny, Donnie, Jon and Jordan?

Even if Danny does look a little possessed.

And Jon is cowering in the back (as usual).

The Block performed on the Today show on Friday. Some fans had been camped out since Sunday for a chance to see them live.

So what did they do?

They arrived at 6am to hand out free concert tickets to the devoted fans who braved the elements to see them up close and personal.

That is so wonderfully awesome. They really do give you full service.

Zac Efron sat down with Matt Lauer on the Today Show this morning, and of course, Kathie Lee decided to come out and make it ALL about her.

In case you missed it, Zac appeared in an SNL sketch this weekend where Kristen Wiig played a lushed-out Kathie Lee and Zac was her beloved, super peppy “singer” son, Cody.

You know Cody, the one she’s been constantly harping on for the last 19 years.

Following in Lance Armstrong's gimpy footsteps, Matt Lauer took a major spill over the weekend on his bike while riding on Long Island and is now laid up and awaiting surgery.

Lauer "was riding his bike over the weekend and he had a run-in with a deer," his Today Show co-host Meredith Vieira explained. "He joked in an email that he thought the deer was hired by the competition."

Michael Phelps sat down with Matt Lauer on the Today Show this morning to discuss what Matt called the “now infamous” photo of Mikey smoking pot.

The gravity Lauer gave the incident was almost disturbing, asking questions like:

“Did you start to think how damaging this was to you and your career?”

Three and a half years since Matt Lauer and Tom Cruise came to verbal blows on the Today Show over the use of anti-depression medication (“You’re glib, Matt”), they sat down again this morning.

“This is not a rematch,” Lauer was quick to say. “This is not Rocky II.”

Indeed, it wasn’t.

In fact, these two were so patty-cake nicey-nice, we expected them to start giving each other reach-arounds.

Beyonce Performs Single Ladies on Today Show

While we refuse to call her "Sasha Fierce" (why's she got to bite our style and make it all trannylicious?), we can't help but love her new jam "Singl

Tom Cruise and Matt Lauer appear to have buried the hatchet and not in each other’s backs.

Tom made a surprise appearance at Matt Lauer's Friar's Club Roast in New York on Friday, three years after the pair clashed during an interview when the topic turned to psychiatry and antidepressant drug on the Today Show.

George Hamilton, arriving for an appearance of the Today Show this morning to promote his new book “Burnt to a Crisp.”

Seriously, we feel like we got skin cancer just looking at this photo.

Actually, the book is titled “Don’t Mind If I Do,” and it recounts such adventures as his sexual exploits with his 28-year old stepmother when he was just 12. During his appearance later in the day on The View, the ladies said he’d been molested, and George replied, “I was molested? I am down for it again!”

Angelina Jolie appeared on the Today Show to promote her new film Changeling this morning when Matt Lauer asked if she would consider adopting again after giving birth to twins Knox and Vivienne just three and a half months ago. (btw, how good does she look already?) She smiled cryptically and quietly said, “Yeah.”

“Come on! ‘Yeah.’ Yeah, period?” Matt laughed, prodding her further. “Is it something you’d do soon?”

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
