In an interview last week with Boston NBC television affiliate WBTS, Perry, a bona fide guitar god as a founding member of Aerosmith, went off the charts when talking of the band’s plans for Las Vegas. Perry’s comment fits with tremors around the scene that Aerosmith has been enlisted for an extended engagement on the Strip.

Hoda Kotb Joins Savannah Guthrie as Co-Host of NBC’s ‘Today’ Kotb is now officially co-host of the popular morning show after temporarily filling in for Matt Lauer who was fired in November over sexual harassment claims. This has to be the most popular decision that NBC News has ever made. Hoever, Kotb isn’t a completely new face as she co-hosted the fourth hour of the show with Kathie Lee Gifford since 2008. I am pinching myself,” Kotb said. “I think we should send some medics to Alexandria, Virginia, where my mom has likely fainted after hearing the open of that show.” Having two female co-anchors is rare in morning news with the first instance occurring from 2006-09 when Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts co-anchored ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Las Vegas rockers Imagine Dragons are set to perform from the 2nd annual Central Time Zone countdown from New Orleans.
