- <p> It is perhaps unsurprising that the Today show--which
- often features a rotund 58-year-old weatherman wishing happy
- birthday to cute centenarians--has had a hard time rousing
- young viewers out of bed. For twentysome things, Today is a
- rusty and dusty alarm clock that never goes off. But now
- producers are changing that. Shooting for the hip, Today has
- signed perky MTV reporter TABITHA SOREN to contribute regular
- spots on politics and pop culture. Soren, 25, says she'll aim
- for fairly serious coverage. "I'm not going to interview the
- Black Crowes or anything." Willard Scott fans say thanks.
