edwards Today books Elizabeth Edwards for first post separation interviewNBC's "Today" has nabbed Elizabeth Edwards for her first television interview since her separation from former presidential candidate John Edwards, according to TODAYshow.com.

Edwards was candid in her interview with Matt Lauer, set to air tomorrow morning. She likened herself to Sandra Bullock, who recently finalized her divorce with Jesse James, and talked about her failed marriage.

"I think about Sandra Bullock ... . And yet, the stories you hear are not about all those great successes, but about the failure of her marriage. ... I thought that's not who she is. I don't know her but I assume she wants to reclaim who she is in the same way I want to reclaim who I am," she tells Lauer.

Now months later, Carell has confirmed to E! that next season will be his last as regional manager Michael Scott. He noted that "The Office" should continue past Season 7, saying it would be "a dynamic change to the show."

Is this the right time for Carell to depart the veteran workplace comedy, and should "The Office" continue past next year?

Robert Pattinson related to Dracula

pattinson robert 200x200 Robert Pattinson related to Dracula

Robert Pattinson isn't the only famous vampire in his family.

Genealogists say the 24-year-old "Twilight" star is related to Vlad the Impaler, widely cited as the inspiration for the main character in Bram Stoker's "Dracula."

Researchers at Ancestry.com discovered that Pattinson and the Transylvanian leader (real name: Vlad III Dracula) are connected through their relationship to the British royal family. Prince William and Prince Harry are Pattinson's distant cousins; Vlad the Impaler was their distant uncle.

"Tracing Pattinson's family back to Vlad was difficult research, but the pieces that unraveled created the perfect accompaniment to the Twilight Saga," said Anastasia Tyler, a genealogist at Ancestry.com. "Without any myth or magic, we find royalty and vampires lurking in Pattinson's life -- making his story just as supernatural as the one he's playing on screen."

Also connected to the prince's lineage and therefore to Dracula? Stephenie Meyer, the author of the "Twilight" series.

The latest big-screen installment in the popular vampire saga, "Eclipse," opens June 30.
