There he is. Yes, roll camera. And we have three out of the 22 real housewives of Orange County. How many are there . I dont know. They keep coming and going. We dont know how many. But theyll be with us. How was your weekend . It was finally a beautiful weekend, wasnt it . Yeah, it was so great. Just to be outside. Unless you had had winters like we had, recently, you dont i dont know how can you appreciate spring if you havent had a winter like that. It was beautiful. Had one signing for a product that i shall remain nameless, but i went to have you ever been to stu leonards. I have not been to stu leonards and apparently ive been missing out. There is frank. It gives us a chance to remind each other were in each others lives. Were on our way and lots and lots of people came out. I brought something for you from stu leonards, there is four of them around the tristate area, it is like going to a Farmers Market general store slash and everything is huge there, like lobsters that are this big. They have got meat that looks like that bambam, flintstone would eat. And i brought you a little gift. They made a special coffee for us. Kathie lee and hoda coffee. Oh, my god. That is from stu leonards for you. What about you . Beautiful weekend. My best friend karen came into town. She says that, my best friend, drooifs me crazy. We went to her husband, her husbands birthday, a whole bunch of us went to see jersey boys, great, that was the selfie, because we couldnt find anyone to take a picture. We went to the yankee game and we had a just an eye. Thats all you need. Just an eye. Okay. Such a pretty girl. Great, great girl. More magazine did the half marathon. I went and blew the horn. Look at all the people running. You did a fifth of it, right . 2 miles they ran or 13. These are the people at the finish line. That girl deena ran it in an hour and 11 minutes, 12 miles. She broke some kind of record. And then we did it. Thats what i call walking 1. 2 miles and pretending at least you showed up. Yes. So snl, seth rogan hosted this weekend and he said he didnt need any help from his famous friends. So here they came, one by one, james franco, Zoe Deschanel came and taylor swift stepped in and everyone says she stole the show. Take a look. Okay. Hey, seth. You need any help . No, no. I got this. I got this. Are you sure . Totally sure. Totally sure. Okay. Im fine. I dont want any help, guys. Im fine. I told you that, okay . I need no he said he doesnt need any help. Taylor swift . Why did you come . Youre getting really upset. Whenever a man shows emotion, i appear. I guess thats out of context. I dont know. I know shes trying to make fun of herself, which is a healthy thing to do. I think she gets unfairly bashed. Im starting to think that. I think so too. Shes very, very talented and these guys have been duley warned, if they get involved with her, theyre going to show up in a song. The wheel of fortune, a big show. If you think about it, do you think you would be a good contestant. Youre on the couch calling it out. This kid from indiana university. Julian bats, he had a tough time. Get this, he made a couple of mistakes, he missed winning a car, he missed winning a trip to jamaica and a million dollars. He kept flubbing. Lets watch. Mythological hero achiles. We cant accept that. Shelby . Ill solve, mythological hero achilles. Yeah, thats it. B . Can i solve . The worlds fastest man. Yeah, thats it. Solve. Go ahead. On the spot dice spin. No. Shelby . On the spot decision. Yeah, thats it. Uhhuh. Aw. Poor guy. Oh, my god. That would have been so bad. He missed out on a car, a million dollars, a trip to jamaica. The worst part is hes got to go back to college and hear about it from people. Be kind to him. Have you ever done that with a word, youre like, how do you spell sure . I did that with sure once. How do you spell sure, like sure and shore like the shoreline. Some people say sure. Would you like a piece of chocolate cake . Sure. How do you spell it . I got panicked before thinking sh you just dont whatever. Thats why people go on those shows. You dont understand what it is like when youre under that kind of pressure. We look idiotic enough just doing what we do every morning, ask jeremy piven over there. What are you doing . I know. Hes on a high brow i cant wait to hear about the show. I know. Kind of downton abbeyish. Its called acting. Thats what i heard. This is the hottest thing, apparently. Yeah. We cant figure out why. Were going to attempt to do it. We couldnt get it here. Theyre called chicken corsages. They go to a school dance and the guy doesnt give the girl a regular wrist corsage. No. A piece of chicken. Chicken. They teamed up with kentucky fried chicken. Lets watch the commercial and well attempt it. Original recipe. I know how much you like original recipe. It is a bizarre idea. And i think it is probably only available during prom time. But, you know what, they dont usually serve very good they dont usually serve good food if you want you can pull up you know, not have the calories and throw it on the dance floor and people can slip and thats always good for a laugh. All right. So there you go. I like it. Well see if jeremy piven wants to take a bite. All righty. It is everyone has a story day. Everyone has a moment that changes you this is michael zezmer from alabama. Hes on the line with us. Hes with his wife luanne. Let me tell you a little bit of his story. 46 years ago, when michael was 17, unbelievable thing, he had some arm pain that just made it difficult to grip some things. He went home, from work, to take a nap. When he woke up, he was paralyzed from the neck down. He had transverse militis, that attacks insulation around the spinal cord. So he was determined not to give up and the song this week will be about how unbelievably supportive his family is. Hi, you guys. Are you there . Hey how are you doing . How are you . How are you doing, michael . Were awesome. Thank you. I love them already. We cant wait to see you on thursday, michael, and your beautiful wife too. Okay. Were going to save some chicken for you. Okay. I think we have technical problems. You guys are going to die. This is so genius. So weird. This is coconut oil. Not this brand, any brand you want. This is coconut oil. Somebody told me there is something called swishing and pulling where you take a spoonful, put it in your mouth, swish it around, it kills bacteria, they said, it kills plaque, it helps with breath and somebody says it even helps whiten your teeth. You should consult with a dentist. I didnt. You take a spoon full, would you do it too . No. Put it in, it melts. Dont swallow it, because it is gross if you swallow it. Mm. What is the first thing for 20 minutes . No thank you. Swoosh it. Ew. It melts. I dont think i would like that. Mm. Are you going to spit it out . Mmhmm. I apologize right now for her. Okay. Im not kidding, you guys, your breath is it is totally makes your breath smell great. Anyway, try it. All right, mine is obviously and always much deeper than hodas. Mine is a book called parenting the whole hearted child. If you want to raise a child and hopefully the results will be pretty darn good, this is by jeanne kunian, from amazon. Com, i was blown away by this. I wish i had this book, i wish i had written this book, but it is excellent. It talks about harnessing all the joy in a child and keeping it there, as youre also raising them. Okay . Sounds like a great book. It is terrific. Stayed way up after midnight to be with us, Vanessa Williams is here. Didnt come with an entourage himself, the emmy and golden globe winning jeremy piven is here. Looking good. He won three emmys and golden globe for his portrayal of the hot tempered hollywood power agent from the show entourage, but his latest character is as far from ari gold as it gets. Jeremy plays harry selfridge, that has a management style that sometimes surprises. Take a look. I understand it is your birthday today. Indeed it is. You must be very proud. Youve had a long and distinguished career. Before you say anymore, ive been expecting that you might need me to retire soon. I realize that time has crept up on me. The store will need new blood. The diamond tipped pen for your years of service. Happy birthday, mr. Crab. Aw. How are you . Youre the sweetheart. Yes. Sweetheart guy. Shows your acting, you know, spectrum. You can play a nice, sweet guy. Yeah, you know, it is interesting because when you play i cant use the word that ari gold is, can you guys say that . No. Okay. A jerk. Okay, a jerk. An abrasive man, if you will. When you play him for eight seasons and youre in peoples living rooms, if you play him in an authentic way, people think thats who you are. As you alluded to earlier, i am a thespian, if you will. When youre in england, youre a thespian. Youre just an actor over here. Indeed. Indeed. Too much time across the pond. Which is more fun to play. Ari or mr. Selfridge. As i watch that clip of ari, i watch myself clear a desk as im on the screen there you go. Horrifying. But fun. Actors dont always know what to do with their hands, you know . It is not even an issue. You know what you got to do. Not to be creepy, but i always know what to do with my hands. I know, because i live next door to you in los angeles. I hear the screams coming out of that building, baby. Youve been waiting for that one. Shes been like, here it comes, here it comes. Now to play a guy, harry selfridge, a real guy, and he went over at the turn of the century from the midwest to london, and transformed shopping. Paid a dear personal price for it, didnt he . He did ultimately. He was very ambitious. It is a great life lesson, if you put everything you have into your career and dont Pay Attention to your relationships, it wont end well for you. And very dickens. Do people recognize you as ari or mr. Selfridge. Mr. Selfridge, it is a huge show over there. Were lucky to have itv backing us. Were with pbs here and it is funded by the people. The movie you just wrapped, the new entourage movie. Youre very busy and important. Cheers. You can catch jeremy sunday nights on pbs. Thank you for being with us. Thank you so much. All the hollywood buzz is coming up. Stick around. Jims hair is perfect. Sos his serve, and his mandarin [speaking mandarin] xieuxieu, hou chiu but like up to 90 of americans, jim falls short in getting important nutrients from food alone. Making jim more like us.

My track has amazing songs. Today im doing Stormy Weather for you guys. But i do sunny side of the streets, i cant give you anything but love, and zazuzazz. A real crowd pleaser. It is a new generation and theyre not up on those kinds of songs. Great dancing and is that what youre noticing in the audience . Well, i did a picture for somebody yesterday who bid on an 8 by 10, he got it for his grandson 300 for it was great. The fifth time ed seen it. Hes coming back next week. Everyone who goes into this special guest star brings their own whatever. I get a chance to dance full out because i havent danced since kiss of a spider, really. Twirling and back in the swing of things. And wearing great clothes. Yes. The clothes are phenomenal. Is there anything like being on a live broadway stage for you. Youve done it all . There is nothing like it. You get a chance to do everything. Singing, dancing, acting and no faking it. No faking it and you have the live band behind you, which is extraordinary. So usually in the pit. But theyre also yeah, part of the show. Shes not aging. I cant stop looking at you because i feel like what is she doing . I was examining and i see nothing. Well talk. You look great. How about your family . Today is devins birthday, my son is 21 today. I know. And i said, where do you want to go for dinner . Pick a restaurant . He said, mom, i want you to cook. I said, okay. What will you cook . I dont know. Im waiting for him to tell me what he wants. Ill cook him a home cooked meal. He loves his mommy. I wish my son loved me. How old are the other kids . Melanie is 26. Jillian is 24. And shes got her own music career. Shes got a band called lion babe. Shes doing this alternative r b thing. And then stacia is in eighth grade and shes 13. A lot of people in showbiz are not thrilled with their kids following their path. Your parents encouraged you. I played french horn and piano and had to read music and it was a requirement in our household. But the two of mine that are going to that really want to be in this business love music. And if youre talented, you know, my parents never said get a real job and thats phenomenal. They realize it is a real job. It is. And try doing eight shows a week on broadway and say get a real job. And reading music is a skill. Playing an instrument well is a skill. It should be honored. So i really am happy that my parents valued the arts. Were happy youre going to be singing for us later. Stormy weather. Singing Stormy Weather. Stick around, everybody. Right now, we got to go to some desperate housewives. Three of them from the oc coming up after this. Plus, your buzz. Were back with more of today on this fun day monday which happens to be miss jill martins birthday. Happy birthday, jill. Time for todays buzz and the hollywood gossip that will make you the star of your girls night out. We have the good, the bad and everything in between from aol. Coms brian balthazar. You look gorgeous. Both of you. Thank you, doll. So mtv awards. Mila kunis accepting an award for best movie villain and she came on in a little black dress but everyone was wondering what was under the little black dress, dont get weird on me but we think it is a little baby bump. They have not confirmed that i thought she confirmed. It has been reported everywhere. She has not said, im preggers. She said this was her dream to win an mtv movie award. She was the only female nominated and she won. And zac efron. How many people have a shirt that is buttoned for a breakaway. Looked awesome. Very buttoned up today. Minnie driver, she is i love minnie. Shes a very active twitter user. Now shes taking a break because she was very excited about this vacation she was taking, a holiday with her son, and she had her photograph taken in a bikini and she didnt know. I think she looks pretty darn good. Darn good. She got vilified on twitter for not having the perfect body, so she went on twitter, she said, you know, some people are horrible, you try being photographed when you dont know it and youre just on holiday with your kid. She said twitter is too mean sometimes and shes going to take a break from the twitter sphere. We had her on the show a couple of weeks ago and shes delightful. When people tweet mean things, what do you do . I block them. Dont need them. I save them and sometimes ill respond, just completely friendly. I do that first. I do that, and then if they just continue, i say, you know, lifes too short, i gave you a chance to be nice i dont read them. When you put it in your brain, it is in your brain. Just delete. Lets talk about jimmy fallon. He stepped into something. He wanted to go out and see a band he wanted to go out and brawl. Hes not a fighter. He walks into niagara in new york city and 10 30 in the evening and there was a bar scuffle, a knife fight. He got in the middle of it, he quickly left the bar, but he was kind of frazzled and shaken. Was it really late . 10 30, in between sets. Things get a little rowdy in niagara. He was shuffled in and shuffled out quickly, but it reportedly was pretty shaken. He went home and cried to winnie, his little baby. Miley cyrus. She did an interview with elle, digital version going online tomorrow. And she talks about maybe all this crotch grabbing is her version of a feminist statement. She said rappers have grabbed their crotch and she grabs her crotch and she gets criticized for it. She said this is her version of feminism. She just wants there to be equality among the sexes. What is your take on grabbing your crotch . I think we have it right there. I think thats your take on it. Yeah. Well be right back. No, im kidding. We cannot say any more than what we already said over and over. Right. The worst thing you can become in showbiz is boring. And we heard it. We heard it. And shes trying to do something new. But this is not new anymore. Thats the problem. I have to wonder in ten years if well be rolling our eyes like this even happened. Not necessarily a good thing. Remember how we freaked out when let her talent speak. Yes, yeah. How about the box office . Captain america killed it but narrowly beat out rio 2. A kids film. I want to see rio 2. What was third . Third was oculus. What happened to draft day . Fourth. What about gods not dead . Sixth . I dont know what number it is, but it is sliding down. Still. Cassidy is in it. It is all good. Are your kids driving you crazy . Why more parents admit to being aggravated by their kids and what you can do about it. And set your dvr to real housewives of Orange County. Theyre back.

Theyre back for a drama filled ninth season and fans will tune in to see some familiar faces like Vicki Gunvalson and tamra judge. And well meet two new cast members, including Shannon Beador here with us. Here is a sneak peek of tonights premiere. Take a look. Again, mother, remind me that i do not have a cell phone. Most people in my grade do. Not very fair. How old are you . 12. Okay. Almost 13. I remember my parents installed a phone line in my house, i think i was 16. Thats because you lived when there was not a lot of technology. In the olden days. In the olden days, there you go. The olden days. Hi. So shannon, you dove into the deep end. What made you decide to join the ladies . I thought it would be such a unique opportunity to watch little pieces of your life played back for you, who gets that chance to i can improve here or i do this okay. Everybody can because of video cameras. They can keep it private and control it a little bit better, right . I thought it would be a fun adventure. What happened to the other ones . Where are the other housewives . You two are here. We ran them out of oc. You ran them out . Do you miss them . No. I miss alexis, i do. Her and i are what about gretchen . Who . Nobody misses gretchen. Im sorry, who . Wow. Wow. When youre gone, youre gone. Youre gone. Vicki, youre not dead, is she . Thats why there is a rear view mirror. Shes in the past. Wow. Thats what im talking about. Okay, vicki, youve been here for nine seasons. Youve been on all the housewives franchises the longest. Youve had your share of drama play out. What keeps you coming back, i guess . You know what, there is good and bad in everything in life. And it has been a great experience. Yes, i got divorced and my kids were in high school when we started, now theyre graduated. Im 27, 28 years old, im a grandmother. I come back because its a lot of fun. Right. It is a lot of fun. Tamra, you watched your life unfold again. You were divorced earlier on and there was a whole marriage episode. Thats got to be how is your life going . My life is going good. Im very busy. Between the show and cut fitness and the kids and are the kids on the show . No, my kids are in the on the show. Do you want them on . My littlest, sophia, who is 8, shes a little mini me, she wanted to be on the show and we tried to work it out with her father and he just didnt want any part of it so, but my other two, theyre fine. One is in high school, one is in middle school and the furthest thing from their mind. That would have been the biggest decision to make. Do you let your children kids dont really know what there are ramifications. Are you concerned about that . You know what i thought, in life, especially i have three young girls, so you have to develop a thick skin so as my kids can develop that thick skin at a younger age, for the benefit they know if someone comes up to them saying i cant play with you anymore because my mother doesnt like you anymore, they know to say, youre entitled to your opinion, but i dont agree with it. Is the fur going to fly tonight . What is going to happen . It is a great episode tonight. I think everyone is going to we laughed a lot. My girlfriend and i watched it coming here last night. Were in hawaii, so it is just visually very beautiful. It is a good life. Not a bad life. All right. Great life. It is horrible to get paid to go to lunch and dinner youre right. You can catch the season premiere of the real housewives of Orange County tonight. Vanessa williams takes us back in time with a classic performance of Stormy Weather.

Hotwire hotwire. Com jims hair is perfect. Sos his serve, and his mandarin [speaking mandarin] xieuxieu, hou chiu but like up to 90 of americans, jim falls short in getting important nutrients from food alone. Making jim more like us. Add one a day multivitamins, rich in key nutrients you may need. The temper tantrums, the daily demands, constant whining and thats just around here, kids can really test a parents patience like this scene from this is 40. Take a look. What are you doing . We have to get ready for the party. Just watched the last episode of lost. Okay. You know what . We dont have time for this right now. We have a lot of people coming over. Theyre all dead. What . Jack, kate, sawyer i dont care about the show right now, okay . I need you to just get in the shower and get dressed. Just put it on hold. All those people. Dont think about lost today. Tomorrow, lost, all day. I cant wait to hear about it. Jack, no way, really . Right now, shower. Well, a new study by child trends found parents feel more aggravated than ever before, so here to help us figure out why and what we can do about it i have nothing to do with it. What can you do . Psychiatrist ish major. And mother of five, business coach and writer, alli worthington. Are the others not being honest about it, being annoyed, but others admit it . I think so. If you admit it my gosh, im a horrible parent, my kids you got to own it and validate that feeling on your own. You can move forward and it is natural, normal. Is it because a lot of parents are like helicopter parents and hovering and theyre present for everything and hence the, you know, the aggravation . I definitely think so. Think about what moms are expected to do these days. Work, come home, cook dinner, go to a gazillion Extracurricular Activities and then you have to build the taj mahal out of tooth picks for a project at school and youre exhausted. If you go to the bakery and bring cupcakes from a bakery as a mother of five, how do you what do you do . Im store bought all the way. I will bring that no. Be proud. When your kids whine, the five of them, or what do you do . What is the solution . We have all ages, from preschool all the way through high school. So depending on their age, thats how i handle it. We do laps around the house. We do extra chores. Like a timeout . No, they run laps around the house. A grownup timeout. You do laps. You make your kids run . I like it. All right. Does that work . That works. If you have to run around the house five times, youre not going to whine about dinner. Hungry, you can eat whats in front of you. I did a book signing, out of 100 children, one thanked me. One thank you. Whats all that about . You come from a big family. I do, five sisters and one brother. I learned they have to be a constant presence, tuned in, plugged in, your kid is upset about lost, validate that, but then shift and pivot and a lot of them stay there. Grab the child because we have the next thing to do. Validate every little thing, isnt that where the whining comes from . Validate and pivot. Okay . Were supposed to train our kids to deal with the real world. I dont see that happening in general. What do you think . I think that happens a lot. I think parents fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to other people. So when we compare, sometimes it is easier to say, yes to everything to try to make our kids happy. Thanks, you guys. Thanks so much. Now we saved the best sorry guys for last. Play on a song. Vanessa will be singing for us. Vanessa williams. But first, this is today on nbc. Multiplatinum recording artist and tony nominated actress Vanessa Williams is back to sing for us.

And great performing with these guys, the allstars . Theyre standups for a reason, they stand the test of time. Music is phenomenal. Having them behind me, doesnt get any better than that. What are you going to sing for us . Stormy weather. Here she is, Vanessa Williams, and those guys too.
