that's the designer of the dress that i wore. he designed it for me. they made it in three days. >> it is gorgeous. >> it was really fun. i would much rather be in cargo pants in a war zone than walking down the runway. >> in heels. >> yeah. and with -- and ps, i thought there were going to be like 40 people there. there were 1,000 people there. i mean -- >> that's quite a dress for 40 people. >> i thought it was this little thing. >> you looked spectacular. can we show the -- can we show the shoulder turn she makes?

really? is that it? >> a lot of sass. a lot of sass. >> enough about that. >> she's got spunk. there's more to talk about. >> also ahead, we've been talking about lindsay lohan posted $40,000 bail after being charged with felony grand theft for allegedly stealing that $2,500 necklace. what she was wearing got just as much attention as her alleged crime. we'll tell you what happened in a live report coming up. >> i think she looked beautiful. >> that might have been part of the problem. >> i don't know if you can read that headline. yeah. that could say it all. >> classy. and they could have chosen a private place, but kate middleton and camilla parker-bowles decided to go to lunch. a little marriage advice. we'll tell you all about that. ann, you've got to top stories. >> i do. good morning. we'll talk about the news. a revolutionary uprising in egypt is entering a new phase. on wednesday, 20,000 factory workers wernt on strike. today, some 5,000 doctors and medical students are expected to do the same in an effort to increase pressure on the government. new york representative chris lee resigned suddenly on wednesday after a website posted a shirtless photo he allegedly sent to a woman he met on craigslist. lee is married and has a young son an explosion rocked allentown, pennsylvania, leveling eight homes and forcing hundreds of residents on two city blocks to evacuate. at least one person has died and five are still missing in the aftermath of the massive fire. officials say a natural gas explosion may have triggered the blast. frigid temperatures well below zero have seized the south with the -- after the second snowstorm since last week slammed the region with snow and rain. i know, very dangerous conditions. the blizzard plowed through the country's midsection on wednesday, hitting oklahoma the hardest and giving tulsa the snowiest winter on record. the storm is also deadly. two people died in weather-related car accidents in arkansas and missouri during the storm. the number of homes entering foreclosure in january was the lowest monthly total in more than three years, but the slowdown was partly due to paperwork problems and also because banks with the backload of bad loans are letting delinquent borrowers stay in their homes longer. it's time to cut support for mortgage giants fannie mae and freddie mac, which have received $150 billion in federal aid. another reason to drink water, a new research is suggesting that daily diet soda drinkers are at a higher risk for stroke and heart attacks than those who drink no soda at all. and while doctors are not sure whether there is -- the exact link between the two, experts are advising sticking to water instead. and a pelican blown 1,400 miles off course by a hurricane is going to have a lot of explaining to do when he gets back to the nest. this is ralph. named after the nightclub in nova scotia where he was found. >> nice. >> rescuers spent five months nursing the disoriented florida native, not just because of the nightclub, but they nursed him back to health and he'll waddle back across the border. it is now four minutes past the hour. there you go, you guys. you're all up to date. >> we got our daily animal story. >> we do try. we like animals. >> they're so cute. >> you've got a check of the weather for us. >> i wonder which doctor you'll send the bill to. >> ah! nicely done. >> all right. i should have left that one alone. let's check it out, show you what's going on. look at these temperatures. 21 degrees below normal in st. paul. 18 degrees below normal in st. louis. as you look at the actual temperatures for this afternoon, you can see it's going to be awfully cold back through the great lakes, down through the plains states, down into texas. only warm spot, 80s down in florida where they'll have showers and thunderstorms. morning snow, blows out of north carolina. we've got partly sunny skies in the pacific northwest. lake-effect snow in the great lakes. the santa ana winds >> we are off to a quiet start this thursday. mostly sunny skies. high temperature of around 32 this aft >> and that's your latest weather. natalie? al, thank you. lindsay lohan is out on bail for her latest run-in with the law. she appeared in court wednesday facing her most serious charges yet and got a stern warning from the judge. nbc's kristen welker is in los angeles with more. kristen, good morning. >> good morning to you, natalie. lindsay lohan arrived early for court and without family members by her side. but she seemed relaxed, even chatty before the proceedings began. but then the judge arrived and made it very clear one more slip and he wouldn't hesitate to put her back in jail. >> miss lohan -- >> reporter: harsh words for actress lindsay lohan. >> i'm trying to put this as polite as possible. you're in a different situation now than a felony has been filed against you. >> reporter: wednesday, lohan was charged with felony grand theft for allegedly stealing this necklace which she was photographed wearing a new weeks ago. lohan pleaded not guilty and posted bail, but judge keith schwartz warned her. >> if you violate the law, i will remand you and set no bail. so what i'm telling you is you need to follow the laws just like everybody else. do you understand what i'm telling you? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: the actress didn't say much more, but she did seem to react when the prosecution made a request that the judge agreed to that lohan stay away from the jewelry store where the alleged theft occurred. >> the store received some flowers, which caused the victim in this case to be somewhat alarmed. so i would ask the court that she stay away from the victims at this point in time. >> reporter: like past court appearances, lohan was flanked by media as she arrived, but this time she donned sunglasses and a striking white dress that had people wondering if her outfit was appropriate. >> the cut might have been a little much, but it didn't have any effect. i tend to counsel my clients, go to court or dress for court like you're going to church or temple. >> reporter: mark garagos defended winona ryder when she was convicted of shoplifting in 2002. ryder got probation and community service. lohan's case carries a possible three-year prison sentence, but garagos says that's unlikely. >> my guess would be they'll come to a plea deal. i do not see state prison. >> reporter: but the actress has other problems. prosecutors in riverside county are still investigating after lohan allegedly assaulted an employee at the betty ford clinic where she was a patient. lohan denies the claim. >> it could be impulse control issues for her. it could be a lot of things driving those behaviors. >> reporter: dr. charles sophie who has not treated lohan says even though the actress has spent time in rehab, it seems she is not getting the kind of counseling she needs. >> there are going to be slips and there's going to be mistakes and that kind of stuff, but nonetheless, that whole treatment plan needs to be looked at. >> reporter: for now, treatment is coming from a stern reality check administered by a superior court judge. >> look around this room. everyone in this room has to follow the law. you're no different than anyone else so please don't push your luck. >> now, the judge also revoked lohan's probation, which stems back to a 2007 dui arrest. he set bail at $40,000. her next court date will be in two weeks. natalie? >> kristen welker, thank you. robin sax is a former prosecutor and courtney haslet is our entertainment reporter. a lot of people were talking with the outfit. was that improper for -- for such a serious charge, courtney? >> i think everybody was shocked when they saw her get out of the car. most of what you saw were legs first and then, you know, this white dress. white is supposed to be angelic and connote innocence, but, lindsay, this is very serious. people are watching. why wouldn't you just dress conservatively? >> and the color is great. white and purity and innocence all go together, but the issue is that everybody watching are potential jurors. jurors are very judgmental people. you want to go most conservative. it's like going to a party. you don't want to be the most underdressed. you always go to something that's not going to make a huge statement. >> a suit perhaps would have gone a lot further. >> yes. >> does it really matter? at the end of the day, judge schwartz was very tough on her. s he said you're like everyone else. you're not above the law here. he warned her not to push her luck. >> that's exactly true. i know judge schwartz. that lecture you saw is a keith schwartz standard lecture. he loves to tell people what to do. also the das in that building who run that building over there are fair, straight-shooters. anybody who thinks she's being treated differently, she's not. she's acting like any other criminal and she's being treated like any other criminal. >> the charge she's facing for stealing that $2,500 necklace, very serious charge. what's the likelihood, robin, that she ends up going to jail for this? >> most people on a first-time felony offense will not find themselves in state prison. they will not see a three-year sentence. people who are thinking that she's going to do three years are mistaken. she's likely to do some sort of time because you can't just keep going to rehab and the prosecutors are going to be in a position to up the ante based on her prior behavior. we're talking six months, maybe. maybe a year. that kind of thing. >> we know how well she did last time she served some time. she had a nervous breakdown, was crying. what's the chance that she di slides to plea bargain? >> the pickle is that for lindsay lohan, one day in county jail is like a year to anybody else. so they need to try to find some sort of sentence that's going to be able to reduce the chances of a long sentence but yet be something that she can actually find palatable. that's going to be the challenge right now. >> the prosecutor is tough here, too. >> i think they'll consider an employee bargain. they'll think about judicial economy. jury trials are a gamble. you never know what a jury is going to do. everybody wants to resolve it. it's just are they going to be able to find the resolution? >> what about the reports that according to the police report, she was seen four days beforehand in that same jewelry store trying on a pair of diamond earrings. apparently she left one of the diamond earrings and started to walk out of the store. the clerk called her back and said, oh, you still have one of our earrings. she left her more expensive jewelry on the counter. could that be used in her defense? it could be argued that -- the forgetfulness. >> i don't think it can be used in her defense. her line has been, i thought that was loaned to me, this necklace in question. not, oh, i was trying on so many things, i'm so deeply sorry, here it is, my apologies. he said, i thought it was loaned to me. you and i know that there's no mistaking it when something is loaned to you. you sign papers about the insurance. usually the vendor actually makes arrangements to pick it up from you. they make it as easy as possible and as clear as day that this is something that doesn't belong to you and they're going to get it back. so for her to say it was loaned to me, that sounds so entitled at this point and like a big excuse. >> and what about those battery charges, too, at the betty ford clinic? she allegedly assaulted a worker there. could that come -- become combined in this situation as well? >> it's not going to be combined. riverside county is a very different county. one doesn't really have anything to do with the other. what does have something to do is the fact that this is a felony charge that has to do with moral turpitude. everything is about lindsay's word. if we don't believe what lindsay is saying in the grand left, how can we believe what she said about the battery? >> thank you, ladies. >> he just has to behave for a little while. everybody is watching. everybody is watching what jewelry you touch and who you touch. >> great to have you both on. >> thank you sglchblts still to come this morning, just a few months before marrying prince william, kate middleton is getting advice from camilla over lunch. up next, curry hits the catwalk and struts her stuff all for a good cause and looking amazing. that's right after this. ♪ that's when all the conditions are right for a good time ♪ [ male announcer ] advanced technology that helps provide cleaner air, cleaner water, and helps make all of us more energy efficient is something the whole world can get in step with.
