DESPERATE to resurrect her TV career, Hoda Kotb made it clear to bosses at Today that she’s raring to permanently return to the morning show as she filled in for anguished pal Savannah Guthrie — but her bold ambition has sparked panic among staffers, sources say. Hoda, 61, picked up where she left off at her old TV stomping grounds, while Savannah, 54, spent time with family amid the investigation into her 84-year-old mother’s kidnapping in Arizona. Kotb’s comeback came just over a year after she’d bid farewell to Today to spend more time with her daughters, Haley, 8, and Hope, 6.

TWO-TIME divorcée Jennifer Aniston is secretly engaged to hypnotist lover Jim Curtis, GLOBE can exclusively reveal — but there’s already drama surrounding the duo’s wedding. According to insiders, the bride-to-be’s nerves are frayed as she tries to discreetly tackle the planning process while catering to the wants of famous pals. “The biggest conundrum for her is whether they should have a big wedding or just elope,” spills a source. “They’ve both had big weddings before, so in a lot of ways it makes more sense to elope.” But some supersized egos will be bruised if Jen, 57, and Jim, 50, go the intimate route, the source claims. “Their friends have been such a big part of their love story,” the source admits. As the wellness author explained himself, he and…

The 39-year-old Transformers star was busted on two counts of simple battery for allegedly brawling at the New Orleans celebration Feb. 17 and following his release from jail immediately ran back to the raucous street party, where he was spotted dancing and drinking a beer, say sources. Earlier, Shia, who’s reportedly separated from actress-wife Mia Goth, mom of his 3-year-old daughter, was booted from a bar for being “somewhat belligerent,” returned, punched one person in the body and another “in the nose,” say cops. A video caught Shia being held down by at least…

TROUBLED Food Network star Anne Burrell hid private torment until her shocking suicide — but GLOBE can now reveal the celebrity chef left behind haunting breadcrumbs about her dark final days in a series of sobering messages. While investigating the Worst Cooks in America host’s unexpected passing on June 17 at age 55, cops uncovered a “suicidal” note, according to a new police report. Dated the morning of Anne’s death, the missive was found in the primary bedroom at her Brooklyn, N.Y., home. It wasn’t the only window into the TV personality’s chilling mindset, though: “Suicidal” journal entries reportedly sat atop her uncharacteristically made bed. The eerily cleaned-up quarters allegedly tipped husband Stuart Claxton off that something was terribly wrong, with the police report detailing how it wasn’t “normal.” Soon…

After testifying against the monster musician as Jane Doe, Landfair takes back her voice in Who’s Watching Shorty? Reclaiming Myself From the Shame of R. Kelly’s Abuse, detailing how their seedy relationship began when she was just 12 and escalated to him grooming and sexually abusing her within a year!
