Today on NBC's Today Show

UK's Torch Singer, Susan Boyle, was interviewed and performed on NBC's Today show this morning. Backed by glorious strings in the heart of Rockefeller Plaza, Ms. Boyle aimed to please as she rolls out her new album, "I Dreamed A Dream."

This clip is one of my favorites and to be honest about it, the background tourist are the least objectionable.

David Tennant quits as Dr Who

David Tennant has announced he is quitting the BBC's Doctor Who series at the end of next year.

Tennant's decision brings to an end his popular four-year tenure as the time lord [tenth doctor].

He made the announcement while collecting the Outstanding Drama Performance gong at the National Television Awards.

Tennant said: "When Dr Who returns in 2010 it won't be with me.

"Now don't make me cry. The 2009 shows will be my last playing the doctor. "I love this part. If I don't take a deep breath and move on now I never will."

Stonehenge 'older than believed'

New findings at Stonehenge suggest its stones were erected much earlier than thought, challenging the site's conventional history.

A new excavation puts the stones' arrival at 3000 BC - almost 500 years earlier than originally thought - and suggests it was mainly a burial site.

The latest results are from a dig by the Stonehenge Riverside Project.

It is in conflict with recent research dating construction to 2300 BC and suggesting it was a healing centre.

The 2300 BC date was arrived at by carbon dating and was the major finding from an excavation inside the henge by professors Tim Darvill and Geoff Wainwright.

The latest theories, putting construction much earlier, result from an excavation at Aubrey Hole 7 - one of a circle of pits surrounding the stones - in August 2008. The researchers believe the pit probably held a standing stone.

The team suggests the 2300 BC date relates to the time when the stones were moved from the outer pits to the centre of the site.
