"It was a big (and somewhat anti-climatic) week on the Today Show&amp;amp;#8212;Sarah Palin co-hosted and Ryan Seacrest came on to announce he was not taking Matt Lauer&amp;amp;#8217;s job. Good thing since Matt announced this morning that the Today Show is &amp;amp;#8220;my family&amp;amp;#8221; and has signed a new, long-term deal to stay on board. Yawn. So much build up and nothing crazy actually happened. So, with Kim Kardashian as a guest this morning, they kinda had no choice to bring some heat! Some juice! Some pay off! Kim started off hanging outside on the Plaza, saying hi to the fans and looking all buddy buddy with Matt Lauer. I was a little worried because Kim and Matt looked a little too at ease and if Matt was going to do the interview that he would let her off easy. So when they got back from commercial break and Kim was sitting inside studio 1A with Ann Curry, I curled up on my couch and got comfy. If it wasn&amp;#x27;t so early, I would have popped some popcorn because I knew this was going to be good. Ann started off playing the sympathy card--&amp;quot;It hasn&amp;#x27;t been an easy few months for you?&amp;quot; As someone that interviews celebrities too, I know you have to ease into the deep end. Kim gave the same answer she did on the Tonight Show and said that she was in a really &amp;quot;positive place&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;always tries to be positive and learn lessons and move on.&amp;quot; Apparently Kim told Matt outside that with all the media scrutiny she&amp;#x27;d been under that she understood what it was like for Britney Spears when she was going through her tough time (you know, when she got divorced, shaved her head and almost lost her kids). Sneaky Ann overheard this convo and asked Kim what she meant. Kim&amp;#x27;s response? She can look at other people that have gone through hard times and &amp;quot;really look at them and relate . . . Thank god for my family for getting me through it. Don&amp;amp;#8217;t have choice but to hold my head up.&amp;quot; Okay, those questions were all fine and dandy but with only a short window until commercial, Ann just went for it and told Kim that as of last night, she was the subject of three trending topics on Twitter. Kim looked shocked--as if Twitter was a dirty word--and claimed that while she does Tweet and use Instagram, she doesn&amp;#x27;t look on the internet anymore and doesn&amp;#x27;t read the weekly magazines. Yeah, I call total BS on that and you could tell that Ann did too based on her next question. Ann: Did you enjoy going to see the Hunger Games with Kanye West? Kim: The movie was really interesting. I told Matt that I&amp;#x27;m glad he wasn&amp;#x27;t doing the interview because of the Kanye questions. (FYI: we told you yesterday that there&amp;#x27;s some evidence that Kim and Kanye might be dating!) So, you know that Ann HAD to prove to Kim that she can out interview Matt and ask the hard questions too! She proceeded to read Kim the lyrics from Kayne&amp;#x27;s song &amp;quot;Theraflu&amp;quot; where he basically declares his love for her. Ann also reminded Kim that people were calling them &amp;quot;Kimye&amp;quot; online. Of course Kim doesn&amp;#x27;t look at the internet so she would have no idea that this was happening, right? Here&amp;#x27;s what Kim said: &amp;quot;I completely understand and respect that you have to ask these questions. Kanye and I have been friends for years and you never know what the future holds or where my life will take me . . . and I like the song!&amp;quot; From there, Ann had no choice but to bring out the big guns and mentioned that her soon to be ex-husband Kris Humphries wanted an annulment instead of a divorce. Ann: Why not give Kris an annulment? Kim: I&amp;amp;#8217;m sure I would love one myself and there are certain guidelines of how you get one and not sure we fall under that. Also, regarding the whole divorce thing--we are still going through the divorce so there&amp;#x27;s not really much that I&amp;amp;#8217;m allowed to talk about. But I really out of respect for him I try not to talk about stuff regarding him and that situation. I have closed that chapter--I&amp;#x27;m just really ready to move on. Ann, however, was not quite ready and generously gave Kim the chance to respond to those who thought her marriage was a sham. Kim said: &amp;quot;That is something that is still really ridiculous to me because why would I marry someone for ratings? I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t need that. Our show does amazing without that. To me its just hurtful when people say that because anyone that knows me knows that I love really hard. I fall hard. And I followed my heart . . . so when things don&amp;amp;#8217;t work out . . . that&amp;amp;#8217;s just how life is . . . what&amp;#x27;s the point of dragging it out?&amp;quot; Next subject up was the infamous &amp;quot;flour bomb&amp;quot; that was thrown on Kim last week via PETA. Ann asked Kim what she through the punishment should be for the woman who threw it? Kim: It&amp;amp;#8217;s just a little odd that their whole message is non-violence towards animals yet they&amp;amp;#8217;re being violent towards humans. I don&amp;#x27;t think assaulting someone is appropriate at all. Ann: Has it changed your mind on wearing fur? Kim: Consciously, I don&amp;amp;#8217;t carry fur in our DASH stores anymore and there&amp;#x27;s no real fur in our clothing lines. My personal opinion and personal choice is everyone has the choice. It&amp;amp;#8217;s not illegal to wear fur. I have vintage fur that were my great-grandmother&amp;amp;#8217;s that mean the world to me. I won&amp;amp;#8217;t get rid of that memory. And finally, Ann ended with the question on all our minds. Ann: With all drama - do you ever wish that you were not so famous? Kim: It&amp;amp;#8217;s selfish to act like life is so tough. We have a really good time filming and being a part of this TV show and it&amp;amp;#8217;s brought my family so much closer . . . Nope, that was not the answer Ann was looking for . . . especially since it wasn&amp;#x27;t the answer to the question! Ann: But do you wish you were not so famous ever? Kim: There are times when you just wish you can chill out a little bit but we made this decision as a family that we were going to be an open book. And people get married, divorced, get into arguments with their family, they make up . . . this is what happens in other people&amp;amp;#8217;s lives as well. So we show it and are open. The good outweighs the bad and I&amp;amp;#8217;m blessed to have my show and the family that I have. I don&amp;#x27;t think that was still quite the answer that Ann wanted. So to punish Kim, they made her stay for another segment with the host of Animal Planet&amp;#x27;s River Monsters. He had actual river monsters with him! So gross! Kim jokingly asked if PETA was going to come after her for doing this segment. And then she touched this fish that apparently grows to the size of the man holding it! Maybe Kim skirted around answering all of Ann&amp;#x27;s questions to our liking but I give her major credit for putting her hand in this tank! Okay, so lets have at it. What did you guys think of this interview? Did Kim say what you wanted to hear? Did Ann press too hard or not hard enough? What would you have asked Kim? And, most importantly, would you have stuck your hand in that tank because there is no way in hell I would have even gone near it! More Kardashian craziness! * Drumroll Please . . .
