Jeez alou, everyone's blogging these days. And it seems like NBC News is at the forefront of making sure all their to stars blog about the "inside scoop" on their shows. It started with "The Daily Nightly", where Brian Williams and others blog about the machinations of putting together a nightly newscast. Now, NBC-owned site iVillage has started a blog written by none other than new Today anchor Meredith Vieira, which they're calling "Meredith Today" (clever, huh?). Right now, there's only two entries: an intro entry where she talks about the Pennsylvania school shooting earlier this week, and there's a new piece about her first reporting assignment in years (she went to Colorado to talk to the family of the girl killed in a school shooting last week).

Not sure if I'll ever read this (I don't read "The Daily Nightly," even though I think I should), but at least we know Meredith will not be shy about holding back in this blog, judging by her nine years on The View. It might be a great read, or it might be a train wreck; either way, it'll be pretty fascinating to keep track of.
