Kathie Lee, Cohort Ditch Makeup on Today

Kathie Lee Gifford and Today co-host Hoda Kotb offered viewers a rare sight this morning: They went without makeup on the fourth hour of the show. Rosie O'Donnell—the impetus for this after cracking jokes about Gifford's looks—joined them via Skype from her Sirius show. "It's a nice idea, if you ask us," writes Verena von Pfetten at Styleite. "We’ve long championed the case for no makeup and love the fact that two very prominent and non-model females would dare to bare their foundation-free faces." (More Kathie Lee Gifford stories.)
