*Matt Lauer was fired from NBC News this morning after an employee filed a complaint about "inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace".  Savannah Guthrie made the announcement when she opened the show this morning & she was informed just moments before going on the air.  NBC News chairman Andrew Lack says it was the first complaint lodged against Lauer in his career at the network. But he said "we were also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident."  Reporters for The New York Times had been investigating Lauer for several weeks.

FULL STORY

=========================

Meghan Markle will be baptized into the Church of England.

That’s one of the requirements placed upon Meghan, who has a few hurdles to jump before exchanging vows with Prince Harry. Meghan’s not the ideal candidate to becoming a Princess. She’s an American actress for starters. She'll have to become a British citizen -- probably something the Royal Family can expedite. Some Brits take issue that Meghan is divorced.

The Royal Family announced the venue of the wedding: St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. The so-called "chapel" seats around 800! If you believe a wedding invite is in your future, keep the month of May open. Or just plan to DVR the ceremony, which will be televised.

Also, Queen Elizabeth will pick up the bill on this lavish affair. Meghan’s single mother won’t have to fret about how she’s going to pay -- as is the tradition for the bride’s family.
