According to Closer Weekly, sources claim that Kelly’s diva-like demands include her own producer, assistant, and makeup artist. In total, the former Fox anchor is asking for close to half a million dollars in additional salaries for her staff, not to mention her very own dressing room, all for around 10 minutes of airtime during Today’s first couple hours.

While network executives are fretting about the extra costs, Kelly is not worried about her performance. The insider revealed that Kelly thinks she can attract a completely new fan base for the network and that she will usher in a new era for the long running show.

“My vision is that at the end of the hour people will think, ‘Wow. I feel great. That was good for me,'” Kelly shared.
