On "Today," will Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie marry? On "Good Morning America," will Britney Spears learn to entertain?

Brad Pitt: Big doings in the morning. Or so we thought, based on the promotion. ABC said it had the "concert event of the year" with Britney Spears performing. Yep, she sang -- or rather, lip synched -- two songs on "Good Morning America." Two songs! Some concert event. Spears looked good. But she didn't move with a lot of verve. (Turn it on, Brit, if you want to drive those CD sales.) Diane Sawyer fawned over her, which was kind of embarrassing. But Hugh Jackman, Reese Witherspoon and Taylor Swift all said nice things, so it was reason enough for Britney to show up. And she got a lavish birthday cake. I'm not sure viewers had a reason to show up. As a friend said, "I was in shock. I DVRd it just to see the possible train wreck. Two songs! And the lip synching just kills me. Kids today don't know what it takes to get up on stage and actually sing. So sad." What did you think? Over on "Today," Brad Pitt talked about housing in New Orleans and his six children. And Ann Curry popped the question, sort of. She noted that Angelina Jolie recently said, when asked if she and Pitt will marry, said, "You have to ask Brad." And Curry did. Pitt said, "She did set me up, didn't she? If ... listen, if we feel it's important to our kids, we'll do so." Promotion of Pitt's "Curious Case of Benjamin Button" will come later in the month, Curry promised.
