ann? >> that's okay, i'll take it. now to another recording released monday reportedly of oscar winning actor mel gibson lashing out and threatening the life of his estranged girl friend. we have nbc's kristen welker with more on the story. what can you tell us? good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, ann. this is the second such tape that has been released and this one is much more violent in tone than the first. if it's authentic, it could be a real blow to the actor both professionally and legally. >> i'll put you in a [ bleep ] rose garden, you [ bleep ]. you understand that? because i'm capable of it. you understand that? get a [ bleep ] restraining order. >> reporter: it's another obscenity laced rant by a person who sounds a lot like award winning actor and director mel gibson, the celebrity gossip site radaronline.com released it monday saying it is gibson lashing out at the mother of his youngest child, ex-girlfriend oksana grigorieva. the two are in a bitter custody battle. >> i will make your [ bleep ] life miserable, all right? >> you need medication. >> you need a [ bleep ] bat to the side of the head. how about that? you need a [ bleep ] doctor. you need a [ bleep ] brain transplant. >> reporter: the man reported to be gibson is so filled with uncontrollable rage during the eight-minute recording, he pauses only to catch his breath. >> you [ bleep ] selfish [ bleep ]. don't you dare hang up on me. >> i can't listen to this anymore. >> reporter: friday radaronline.com release add similar recording allegedly of mel gibson verbally berating oksana. this second tape is far more violent in nature and the actor even seems to admit to hitting his ex. >> what kind of man is that? hitting a woman when she's holding a child in her hands? breaking her teeth twice in the face. what kind of man is that? >> oh, you're all angry now. you [ bleep ] deserved it. >> you're going to answer one day, boy, you're going to answer. >> reporter: oksana grigorieva has reportedly told police gibson punched her in the face knocking out would of her teeth, claims the actor has denied. gibson is also staying mum about the tapes. >> if the tape is what it appears to be, it's devastating evidence against mel gibson on multiple fronts. first of all, with respect to domestic violence, it's essentially a confession. child custody, he can forget about that. even the possibility of them charging him with threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend. >> reporter: and as far as his public image goes, industry experts say the situation couldn't get much worse. >> short of murder or inses, mel gibson's in about as much trouble as a celebrity can get into. it's almost two decades long history of hatred of homophobia, racism, misogyny. >> you hang up, i'm coming over there. >> i'll call police. >> you weak [ bleep ]. you call the cops. >> reporter: at this point no charges have been filed. ann?

we eat meals together and i love to cook, but unlike my husband, i have to keep my calories low to keep my weight in check. so is there a way to add calories to his meals but keep my meals lower in calories. >> this is actually a pretty common issue, and it sounds like, elliott, you're a healthy guy, and you just have a super speedy metabolism and, by the way, a lot of people watching are probably very envious but i realize it's just as difficult for some people to gain weight as it is for other people to lose weight. i mean, the good news is that you can take one meal and manipulate it so we increase the calories for elliott and nice and low for linda. the first thing i'm going to tell you when it comes to drinking liquids, linda, you're going to stick with water. i always say water, water, calorie free. elliott, i don't want you to waste precious belly space on something that's not offering calories. so for you, 100% fruit juice and take advantage of some of the supplemental beverages that are on the market, ensure plus, boost plus, even carnation instant breakfast. they're all terrific. when it comes to breakfast, for elliott, a generous portion of cereal and pile on nuts and seeds and dried fruit. for linda, one portion, and if you want a topping, stick with fresh fruit. whole eggs for your omelets, elliott. reduced fat cheese and grill them up in canola oil straight from the bottle. linda, use a mister and use one whole egg whipped with two to three egg whites. for lunch, elliott, pile on your sandwich, avocado, cheese, and you could enjoy it with some baked chips. linda, you keep yours nice and clean and simple and instead of the baked chips, some crunchy vegetables like baby carrots or sugar snap 's. for salads, loads of full fat vinaigrette because it's healthy fat for elliott. linda, use a low-cal vinaigrette. for elliott's salads you can pile on things like raisins, crou it ons, reduced fat cheese again, the nuts, the seeds. when it comes to side starch with dinner, two, three serving for elliott and, linda, i'm so sorry, but you want to stick with just one serving like most of the people watching probably. and then for snacks things like guacamole and baked chips and trail mix are awesome choices for elliott because they're healthy but they're calorie dense. and then for linda, your nonstarchy vegetables, fresh fruit. and you can have some of the things i mentioned for elliott as well. you want to keep a lid on the portions. you see you can manipulate the same type of foods but up the calories for your husband and keep them relatively low for you and you both reach your goals. >> but you're talking, again, all about like very healthy choices that add just a little bit more bulk. >> that's exact ly right. >> not ice cream and shakes. >> and cookies. then you zap your energy and it's really bad for your body. that's not the kind of weight you want to gain. so good luck, guys. >> yeah. all right. we wish we had that problem. okay. next we have connie in spear fish, south dakota, on the phone with us. she's on the phone with us. what's your question for joy this morning? >> caller: good morning, joy. often when i'm on the internet i'm teased by ads and pop-ups promising that, quote, secret food that burns belly fat" or how to cut down three pounds off your belly using this one weird old tip. joy, can you shed some light on what she is secrets might be if they really exist at all? >> i've seen those ads. i've clicked on them. often it's like, what is this about? it's acai. >> i wish i had better news for you. there are no secret foods that can magically blast away fat on one part of your body. that's because genetically we're predisposed to lay down fat in certain areas. that's the bad news. the good news is that when you take in fewer calories and you exercise, you create a calorie deficit, you will burn fat all over your body and your problem area, if it's your belly, may not be the first or the second place that you lose weight but eventually it is coming off. so keep watching what you're eating. get out there and move as much as you can. do a lot of physical activity. and also work the muscles underneath. you know, crunches or other exercises like planks because when that fat comes off your belly, those abs are going to shine through. >> you want the tone. >> and it will come off. don't give up. don't waste your money on those ads. >> thanks, connie. finally a viewer e-mail from phyllis of bogota, new jersey. are those rotisserie chickens you buy at grocery and club stores healthy? there seems to be an awful lot of fat and grease on the chicken. >> i've wondered that, too. there's a lot more going on in that container. >> they're incredibly healthy. they're whole roasted chickens and as long as you remove the skin, which is almost pure fat and most of it is artery clogging fat, they're absolutely fine. so don't get dismayed by the gunning on the bottom. use that chicken for tacos, toss it into pasta, make sandwiches, or eat it plane with a bunch of vegetables. it's a simple, healthy dinner option. >> and makes like three or four different meals. >> and they're reasonable. >> joy bauer, thank you so much and thanks to the viewers and people who have called in, phoned in, e-mailed. thank you. coming up next, don't sweat your summer look. we have some makeup tips to help you come up bronzed beach beauty and then later sink your teeth into this "twilight" vam tire. see when i accumulate 10 nights, i get one free. and...they let me choose where to use them. the loyalty program he signed us up for has all these restrictions, blackout dates, a crazy point system... and we couldn't stay here. so what am i getting for free?
