4:00 am Good morning to everyone who set their alarm clocks extra early to watch the Royal Wedding. Earlier this morning, Queen Elizabeth bestowed new titles for William and Kate. William will now be known as The Duke of Cambridge, as well as the Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus. Kate will become the Duchess of Cambridge, the Countess of Strathearn and Baroness Carrickfergus. William’s new titles took effect immediately.

Meanwhile, as you can see in the photo below, crowds are lined up (and have been for some time) at Buckingham Palace, Westinster Abbey, and along the procession route.

Katie Couric to Exit CBS News
It’s official. After months (years?) of speculation, Katie Couric finally announced yesterday she will be exiting the CBS Evening News. Couric told People magazine that she does not have a new venture lined up as of yet, but it is widely expected that Couric will enter the syndicated talk show field. CBS News is expected to announce Scott Pelley as Couric’s replacement as anchor of the CBS Evening News.
Oprah, OWN, and Soaps
Within days of ABC announcing that it was canceling both All My Children and One Life to Live, soap fans have been seeking any method possible to save their shows. One idea (which actually sounded pretty good if you ask me), was for self-professed All My Children fan Oprah Winfrey to snatch up the two canceled soaps from ABC and produce them for her network, OWN. That, however, isn’t going to happen. And now, a special message from Oprah Winfrey, who will explain why it’s not possible.
