This week marks Katie Couric's last at the Today show, meaning that as of 8 AM this morning, you have approximately a mere 9 HOURS LEFT with AMERICA'S SWEETHEART. Prepare to bury yourself in snot-stained kleenex: the world's longest farewell parade has come down to just a matter of days, all of which have been marked by video tribute clips from Couric's A-list fans. Last week we saw the likes of Tim Russert and Dakota Fanning express their fandom (providing the latter with an invaluable opportunity to crookedly mug and twitter in a cunning play to nab the role of America's next cloying sweetheart); this week ups the drama with Couric's more fancy fans singing her praises. Senator Hillary Clinton was just featured, remarking on the woes of powerful women and their ever-changing hair and adding, "You've taken us to the Olympics, and you've taken us to your colon. Not many people can say that." And thank God.
