Katie Couric and Ann Curry

I just found this on another site:

"Th latest on Ann Curry; AMAZING cascade of nearly waist-length curls! The bad news; she is rumored to be planning a chop on March 1st on the air to donate her hair to our old nemesis, LOL. Pic courtesy of the Yahoo! club anncurryfanclub....."

A response read:

"Too bad that is only a few days away. It's a terrible tragedy when a woman cuts her incredible hair. "

For those wondering, yes, it was a long hair forum, but the photos may be the best I've seen yet.

Considering they have to wait a year or two for hair to grow, I wouldn't count on it being a regular, recurring thing.  They're just taking ratings advantage of something Ann was gonna do, anyway. 

Which isn't to say they wouldn't take ratings advantage again if another anchor decided to do the same thing down the road, just that I don't think they'll be planning to make it an annual event.

I was just useing it as an example. The rubber necking effect. Heck I'm one that dose take a look but won't stop like others have.

Lol you are comparing a haircut to a car crash? Unless there is some scissor accident which renders the victim dead or disabled, I tend not to place the two events in the same category.

Now lets just say this little stunt works very well. Like a car crash. You know what's going to happen but you want to watch anyway. So lets say they get huge numbers for this. Do they do it again down the road? With another news person? We are talking about numbers for NBC. I could see this being done again.

I like hair and all, but I would be pretty creeped out if I were getting emails begging me not to cut it. I guess that is why I'm not on tv

It's hair guys. I'm not a loser if I like mine short, or grow it long. I'm not wearing it short to "conform" to what a grown woman should look out and I'm not growing it out because I think long hair is the only way to look feminine. I had cancer when I was a teenager, and oddly, the worst thing I could imagine was losing my hair. But, hey, if I'm alive, let it all fall out!

The only input I consider when deciding on a hairstyle and length comes from my husband--if it were some random guy I would definately be skeeved out!

Why do I have a feeling we might see more going. ALso I hope they show off her bangs I would like to know if they are one lenght or not.

Hey you are not the only one.

    Ann back to wearing her hair down this morning.  Geez, time is running out and they won't give Ann any segments until looks like next week.  You would think their would be some interview they could throw in between all the hours of Olympic coverage.    My prediction,  Ann backs out and doesn't go through with it.    lol   My wish anyways. 

I meant the generic you. Natalie and Campbell look a little bit alike. I don't
watch "Today" enough to see them regularly, and they aren't always on it.
When one is on the show I'm not sure who it is until they say. I don't think I
implied everyone in the world needed to have a unique hairstyle. When two
people have the same job (fill-in host) on the same show, it would be easier
to tell who's who if they look different. I don't think either should change
(cut/grow/color) their hair for me personally, but it would make it easier to
tell them apart.
