Bonnie Hunt Crushes on Brian Williams

Bonnie Hunt Crushes on Brian Williams

Bonnie Hunt has a boyfriend ... NBC News anchor Brian Williams.

The crush was first revealed in September, when the TV host welcomed Elmo to The Bonnie Hunt Show, where Elmo let it slip that Hunt had a thing for Williams, who'd recently been on Sesame Street.

The powers-that-be at NBC then informed their flattered (and married) newsman, who wrote about it on his daily blog.

On Monday's show, Hunt reveals that Williams has taken their relationship one step further, having over-nighted to her an "adorable, funny, smart and witty letter."

In it, "her boyfriend," as Hunt refers to Williams, writes that he's upset that she confided in Elmo, "because everyone in the business knows Elmo is a terrible gossip."

Tom Brokaw, Brian Williams and Kate Couric were among the television journalists remembering Tim Russert, who died at age 58 of coronary artery disease.

"Tim was a big teddy bear of a guy, but he was also a pit bull of an interviewer," says Couric. "He always held people's feet to the fire, often using their past words with great effect to reveal flip-flops or hypocrisy. While Tim was incredibly tenacious, he always did his job with great humanity and respect."

WEEK IN REVIEW: Claudia's Cover-Up

Originally posted 05/31/2002 01:00AM

CLAUDIA COVERED: Instead of getting cheers, the bride got jeers Saturday, Reuters reported of the wedding of German supermodel Claudia Schiffer and British film producer Matthew Vaughn, both 31. The reason: The crowd waiting outside eastern England's Coldham Hall, the couple's residential manor, wanted a peek at the bride as she left her house for the wedding at St. George's Church in Shimpling. What they got instead, said the news service, was the sight of Schiffer draped in a blanket. "We were all so disappointed and disgusted," gawker Janet Damant told the news service. Guests, who presumably saw the bride in all her glory, included tennis star Boris Becker, Madonna's husband Guy Ritchie, Sting's wife Trudie Styler and designer Valentino.
