1. Ryan Seacrest may be taking over Matt Lauer’s anchor spot at Today. Our gut instinct is that this would be horrible, but given the number of thrilling moments Kathie Lee’s unlikely presence on the morning news show has bestowed upon us all, maybe it’s a good thing? [via THR]
2. Here is the new Hype Williams-directed video for Willow Smith’s song “Fireball,” which features an appearance by Nicki Minaj in an insane pair of rainbow-colored Mukluks making crazy faces. [via Vulture]
3. Deadline reports that Mindy Kaling will executive produce a new “animated comedy project” for NBC about a team of female high school volleyball players.
