Not So Fast, Matt Lauer

With his arm in an arm sling, Matt Lauer returned to the Today show this morning, just a few days after dislocating his shoulder in a bicycle accident.

“I feel good,” he told co-anchor Ann Curry.

Lauer said he’ll be in a sling for the next six weeks, and joked that he could be starting a new fashion trend. Earlier this week, Lance Armstrong also hurt himself in a bicycle accident in Spain.

“It’ll be all the rage next year,” Lauer quipped.

Uh, let’s give credit where credit is due: Madonna rocked the arm sling look four years ago when she fell off a horse (which is way more badass) and broke her collarbone. So if the trend started with anyone, it started with her. Natch.
