The Morning Show with Chuck & Jo-Ann

EX-TODAY SHOW COHOST ANN CURRY HAS BEEN ASKED BY NBC'S TOP BRASS TO SECURE THE FIRST INTERVIEW WITH ANGELINA JOLIE AFTER SHE STUNNED THE WORLD WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT SHE'D SECRETLY HAD A DOUBLE MASTECTOMY,

THE AWARD-WINNING JOURNALIST — DUMPED FROM TODAY LAST SUMMER — HAS INTERVIEWED JOLIE NUMEROUS TIMES OVER HER CAREERS.

ALL OF THE MAJOR NETWORKS ARE CLAMORING TO GET THE FIRST INTERVIEW WITH THE MOTHER-OF-SIX, CNN'S ANDERSON COOPER AND ABC'S CYNTHIA MCFADDEN HAVE ALL EXPRESSED INTEREST IN SECURING THE INTERVIEW.

A SOURCE SAYS ANN WOULD LOVE TO DO THE INTERVIEW WITH ANGELINA, BUT SHE ISN'T GOING TO EXPLOIT HER FRIENDSHIP WITH HER TO GET IT AND THAT'S BAD NEWS FOR NBC.

TAYLOR SWIFT MANAGED TO PICK UP SIX AWARDS BEFORE THE BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS EVEN STARTED ON SUNDAY NIGHT, SO IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT SHE CAME AWAY AS THE SHOW'S BIGGEST WINNER. SWIFT NOT ONLY TOOK HOME THE MOST TROPHIES -- EIGHT -- BUT ALSO THE NIGHT'S BIGGEST HONORS: TOP ARTIST AND BILLBOARD 200 ALBUM OF THE YEAR FOR HER MEGA-HIT "RED."

IN ADDITION TO SWIFT'S WINNING SPREE, THE NIGHT WAS FULL OF CRAZY MOMENTS -- FROM JUSTIN BIEBER GETTING BOOED FOR HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH FOR MILESTONE AWARD TO LIL WAYNE GETTING A LAP DANCE FROM FELLOW PERFORMER NICKI MINAJ. KID ROCK CALLED OUT JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY FOR LIP SYNCHING THEIR PERFORMANCES LAST NIGHT AND A PANTS-LESS MADONNA, DRESSED IN FUR, FISHNETS AND SUNGLASSES, ARRIVED IN FULL DIVA-MODE TO ACCEPT HER AWARD FOR TOP TOURING ARTIST. SHE ALSO TOOK HOME THE TOP DANCE ARTIST AND TOP DANCE ALBUM AWARD
