A destructive wildfire thats threatening an entire town in northern california. Its just one of a dozen major fires that are now burning across that state. Nbcs Miguel Almaguer is in weed with the latest. Miguel, good morning to you. Reporter matt, good morning to you. This used to be the entrance to a very recognizable and historic church. After the socalled bowl fire ripped through here, it liter literally changed the face of this community overnight. All thats left here is bricks and a cross. The fire was relatively small, only 350 acres. But in a matter of minutes, it wiped out much of this town. Flames didnt just race through weed, california. They exploded out of control. Shooting hundreds of feet into the air, this blow torch igniting this tiny town in minutes. Hopscotching from one neighborhood to another, at least 100 structures are gone. 1,5 h 1,500 people forced to flee. I seen the flames heading up towards the school. Reporter anna widener watched the inferno engulf her entire block. Im thankful im alive and my children are alive. Reporter with 45mileanhour winds, this billowing monster is feeding on bonedry land ready to burn. Beneath the smoke, the blaze reportedly destroyed a church and a lumber mill. One of the towns biggest employers. Theres a strong south wind right now pushing the smoke, and it definitely doesnt seem encouraging for a lot of this whole area. Reporter this community, just the latest disaster zone in a region battling a brutal heat wave and a devastating drought. A dozen wildfires are now burning in california. The heat and humidity were expecting again today with those dry conditions, it causes extreme fire behavior. Reporter nowhere is the threat more extreme than here in weed. This morning, the damage is still being tallied. But in a fire like this, many have already lost it all. With this blaze now, 15 contained, crews say theyve made a lot of progress. They believe theyve stopped ahead of this fire. Still, it is a winddriven blaze. Later on this afternoon, we could see 40mileanhour gusts kick back up. Matt and hoda . All right. Miguel almaguer, thank you very much. That wind is not good news. No, its not. And the bonedry conditions and temperatures that are going to be record breaking. We are looking at red flag warnings for a good portion of Southern California into the north. Also heat advisories, excessive heat warnings. Look at these temperatures. Its going to feel like over 100 degrees from riverside, 97 in santa ana, santa clarita. This continues today on into tomorrow. There is no break. Weve got 93 in santa paula. Santa ana, 93. Temeculah will feel like 101. And were going to be looking, if we could just get some of this moisture from Tropical Storm odile, right now 25 miles west of santa rosalia, mexico. 65mileperhour winds. This thing is coming right up over the gulf of california. Warm water, 90 degrees almost. Its not going to weaken. Its going to stay with all this moisture coming up into the southwest. And as you watch that track, it stays a Tropical Storm as it makes its way into the southwest, becomes a tropical depression, but it brings a ton of rain. We have flood watches and well probably see flash flood warnings coming up. In fact, you look, this is odiles moisture. This is what odile did in cao o san lucas. They say the airport wont open up until october 10th or so. Thousands of homes without power. It is a mess there. Were looking for moisture coming up from odile back into the southwest. Look at the rainfall were expecting. One to two inches in a few hours. We could see five to seven inches possible, record rainfall amounts throughout tucson, los gatos. Their soil is so porous, it will cause massive flooding. Well be watching this over the next 48 hours. Al, thanks so much. Now to the Domestic Violence scandals dominating the nfl season. The league is bringing in new help to address the issue while one star is now speaking out about his case, as he gets set to return to the field. Nbcs Peter Alexander is here with more. Good morning, peter. Good morning, hoda. Adrian peterson will be back in uniform even as his lawyer denies reports, not verified by reports, that peterson injured another son while disciplining him. The nfl is trying to get a handle on what has become a pr nightmare. Nfl coaches found themselves talking about much more than xs and os. Were probably not going to get away from it and probably rightly so. Reporter Adrian Peterson will get a chance to score touchdowns again, announcing he can rejoin the team after benching him when he was indicted for injuring his 4yearold son while disciplining the boy. He released a statement saying i am not a perfect parent but i am, without a doubt, not a child abuser. Rick spielman says the team has seen evidence authorities have in the case. We have seen everything thats in the file and all the information that weve been able to gather as of today. This is the decision we felt was best. If they believed there was going to be such strong evidence, they might just cut their losses at this point. But rick spielman, the general manager, made it clear what Adrian Peterson has meant to the community has earned him some benefit of the doubt. Greg hardy, appealing his decision for assaulting and trying to kill his girlfriend, is back with the panthers. If you play him and you win, then you dont have a conscience. You play him and you lose, hes a distraction. Reporter meantime the nfl deciding a good offense is the best defense has hired three women to head up its crackdown on Domestic Violence. Among them, a former top sex crimes prosecutor in new york city. They had to do something. They took some really talented women, women who were wellknown in the field, who understand what theyre doing. This is not a womens issue. This is a human being issue. A human being issue. Its also a business. In the wake of the peterson case, minnesotabased Radisson Hotels says its pulling its sponsorship. You saw it behind the general manager in that pace. Radisson takes this matter very seriously particularly in light of our long standing commitment to protect children. Thank you very much, peter.

According to the poll, the answer appears to be too close to call. Nbcs Kelly Cobiella has the answer on this. Kelly, good morning to you. Good morning, matt. If were just talking population numbers, this is the equivalent of texas breaking away from the united states. A lot of scots have had it with politicians here in london and they think they can do it better. From rallies to catwalks to the highlands to the low lands, the United Kingdom is a little less united this morning. In two days, scotland will decide whether to say yes to independence or stay part of the union. The polls are dead even. Were all making reporter and the Prime Minister is desperate. We care passionately about this family of nations and we would really be desperately sad to see it torn apart. Reporter celebrities are lining up on both sides, paul mccartney, susan boyle and this week, david beckham, begging scotland to stay while gerar butler and the original 007 sean con n conner connery want them to break away. If you were given the chance to change things and take your country off in a direction that you thought were better, would you take it . Reporter would the union jack lose its scottish blue . Would they still pay bill with his the british pound . The queen, who has a castle in scotland weighed in, telling a well wisher outside church, i hope people will think very carefully about the future. On thursday, the world will be watching, to see if this small country of 6 million will remain loyal to the crown or go its own way. And just about half a million scots are still undecided. And, matt, just like everything in this country, you can place a bet on this. Bookees giving slight odds to the no vote. But it is going to be a close one, kelly. Thank you very much. Can we still get scotch . Yeah, no problem with that. In honor of that vote on thursday, the orange room will declare its independence from the rest of our show. Whoa see you nice knowing you, folks.

In a deposition for a lawsuit tied to the hit, thicke says he had almost nothing to do with making the song. In a stunningly honest court deposition, robin thicke, credited with cowriting the hit song blurred lines now says he had very little to do with it and that he, quote, tried to take credit for it later because he, referring to pharell williams, wrote the whole thing pretty much by himself and i was envious of that. Thicke also opened up in that deposition about his rampant drug use saying i was high and drunk every time i did an interview last year. I think its very rare when you see celebrities admit to drug use in a very frank and honest way. Reporter the admission comes amid a Copyright Infringement case in which marvin gayes family says its very similar to a hit got to give it up. I dont think its a slam dunk win for marvin gaye, but i do think marvin gaye has a fairly strong case here. Adding to that case, thicke discussing the marvin gaye classic.

As for the lawsuit thickes Attorney Says robins moment of personal vulnerability is being exploited in the hope of diverting attention from the obvious weakness of their legal claim. While the gaye family attorney states we have set out in great detail in our brief the facts, law and expert musical analysis supporting the claim of infringement of marvin gayes got to give it up by blurred lines. If the two sides fail to settle you can expect to see this case in front of a jury next february. Pharell has come out and said yes, i wrote a lot of it.

Or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, changes in eyesight including blurry vision, muscle pain with fever, or tired feeling. Common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. I found answers about fibromyalgia.

Does anyone notice u2s newest album songs of innocence, apple announced it would automatically add that to itunes Music Libraries for free. A lot of people have been complaining about the sudden edition. In fact, on the day the album was released, bono acknowledged on the bands website that not everyone would like this. People who havent heard our music or werent remotely interested might play us for the first time because were now in our library and the people who are not interested in checking us out, the blood, sweat and tears of some irish guys are now in your junk mail. Apple has a solution for everything. They even set up a special page to help you delete that album from your library, which im not doing. I love u2. Why would you . Its great. I just discovered it on my phone. We went to dublin for st. Patricks day, bono stopped by the pub. Hes my idol. They dont like to crowd him. Its cool about him going back to dublin. Its like you in long island. Thats right. Thats right. Have you seen guardians of the galaxy . Love it. Unique way of rewarding his actors, he handed out playdoh. One of the actors that played the guard that stole the cassette player. He was spotted on the set with playdoh and he gave out 40 containers of the stuff. He loves the smell of it. Its all good.

Put it down and rub your hands together. Thats amazing. Its incredible. All over my backyard. Brookstone opened up early for us. Thanks for letting us play with this. Walk in an Office Bathroom and its less than pristine, especially after carson has been in there. Its trashed. How come youre going into the bathroom you told me to say that. Compiled a list of Office Bathroom etiquette in case you needed it. Dont spend more time building the nest than sitting on it. Al, dont take your newspapers in there. Okay. Dont use the paper towel on the doorknob because you may be a germaphobe. If youre shaking hands, going to a restaurant, out in public anyway, youre still being exposed to those germs. I disagree. I use a towel on the doorknob every single time. Me, too. Absolutely. What about the foot on the flusher . A few items on the list. Avoid the last stall. Studies have shown thats the one natalie uses. This goes without saying. Dont talk on the phone. But wait, why if i hear an echo, i think i know where you are. Nothing a little more disconcerting than walking into the bathroom and hear someone talking on the phone. The last stall theory, if you go nobody goes to that stall, because no one goes to the first one because its close to the door. Everyone becogoes to the last oo it becomes the nastiest one. As natalie mentioned, dont flush with your foot. Youre just transferring whats on the floor to the handle. So if everybody is flushing with your foot, youre safe. Enjoy your breakfast and that is whats trending today. We are back in 30 seconds with were back now with Billy Crystal, his bestselling book still foolin em, where ive been, where im going and where the hell are my keys . Good to have you back. Thanks. Its good to be here. I think the last time we saw you was on the stage paying tribute to your friend, Robin Williams. While that was a labor of love im sure it had to be a tough assignment. It was the hardest thing i ever had to do. It was only two weeks to the day of the emmys that everything had happened and they call immediate and said would you do it . I said of course. Then came the task of doing it right. And being sort of the spokesman for everybody in front of 17 Million People. And, you know, he was my closest friend and to do it with some humor and only in a short period of time that i have to do it was difficult. How do you do justice to someones life in that period of time . How did you two become so close . Just you know, just being together, hanging out. Mostly, it started deepening with comic relief and all those hours that we spent not only working together, but then going around the country and delivering the checks that we had earned. Right. From the telethons. We would deliver them ourselves. So it was on those plane rides or car rides or being in those quiet moments where we werent just doing comedy, we were just talking as friends. And i think, matt, as we got older, it got better and deeper and we talked about everything. Our phone calls would go late into did he talk to you . Oh, yeah. About his troubles, battling addiction and depression . Oh, yeah. We would talk three, four times a day sometimes. But then the rifts were still great. We would go late into the night like two musicians who just got new horns. When it was nounsd i was coming back to broadway there must have been 50 messages from somebody named gary who wanted to be my dresser. It was robin. I worked with everybody. I just work with everybody. I used to work with carol channing. That was a nightmare. And he would leave all these phone messages. And i have them all. And, you know, i will always cherish them. What can a young performer, guy or woman, learn from watching tapes of Robin Williams . Just to be fearless and there was nobody like him ever. Theres a passage in the book about the first time i saw him, in that he just broke through every wall. It wasnt just the fourth wall. Fo r him there was a fifth or sixth. It just kept going and going. Just to be fearless and commit. Robin had the amazing ability to Say Something that wasnt that funny, but the audience would scream because his commitment to the joke was so strong. He would just wrestle you to the ground. Ive never seen anything like him. And i dont think we will. Youre the first person i thought of when i heard the news and my condolences. Thank you. I appreciate you talking about him. I want to talk about this book. There are so many funny moments and poignant moments. Its really about your coming of age, not as a 20yearold, but your 60s. You released it on your 60th birthday. Right. One of the things you tackle is social media. Are you a fan . Yeah, sometimes. Lol is laughing out loud. Wt i wont say it. We know what that one goes to. Btw. Right. But you have some that you think are prescript for your age group. Senior citizens. What did your doctor do to your facebook . Its hard to even say. Dmmlimnwd. Dont make me laugh. Im not wearing depends. Perfect. You got that right. Good way to start the morning. Wai. Where am i . Youve had to use that one a few times . This morning. Tkdc. The kids didnt call. Right. And finally dtlsty. Does this look swollen to you . These are things that i find most people my age are saying now. I could use a few of these. You should have an app. You write so emotionally and so beautifully about the love of your life of 44 years, your wife, janice. She does not get talked about enough, in my opinion. Thank you. She really doesnt. Ive met her. Ive had the pleasure. Sure. What has she meant to your career . Everything. And to my life. To my career, she has been the lead in my shoes, and keeping me on the ground and making it possible for me to go off and do what i do and always believing and always with good notes and knowing when to say them. She has a good ear, doesnt she . Tremendous ear and really funny. She makes me laugh, hard. Our first date was in 1966. Oh, my gosh. During the johnson administration. And, you know, it just keeps getting better. Its that cliche. Were best friends. No, but we are. I cant imagine a day without her. You raised a family together. You have grandchildren. I understand theres something youre doing that is so touching with one of your grandchildren. My he is soon to be 5. We have two girls, 11 and 8. The boys are 5 and 18 months, born on my birthday. The 5yearold is now understanding what i do, so he said to my soninlaw, i want to be like grandpa. I want to be a chameleon, which is sort of true in a way. Ive been teaching him hyman ross lines from the god father. At 5. Its really funny. He scored a goal the other day in soccer. He turned at me and yells at me this is the business ive chosen. And his father comes home and he says, what did you learn at school today . Keep your friends close, but your enemies good morning, i am tracy davidson. Skies are beginning to clear. Lets get details. The rain continues to push offshore. What we see through the morning and afternoon is clearing skies. There are lowhanging clouds over the skyline there. If you switch to the radar, we will show you where the rain is. It is pretty much moving out of the area at this time, mainly confined to the shore. As we head to the rest of today, we are below average, 75 degrees with early showers and clearing. Nice conditions for the rest of your work week, low 70s by friday. Lets check the community. Christine has that. Service is suspended indefinitely in the northeast corridor from philadelphia to washington, d. C. , and the other way around. Limited service on acela express and northeast regional for those folks that need to travel to d. C. Interstate 95, slow go out there. Look at the travel times.

School district Officials Say they need revenue from that tax to flow into the district by october 1st. I am tracy davidson. Another local update in 25 minutes. You can always get the latest news at nbc10. Com. 8 30 now on a Tuesday Morning, the 16th day of september, 2014. It is pouring here in midtown manhattan. Were going to go out after this half hour and go say hi to some people. Absolutely. It is really not nice and we thank them for sticking around. A really neat announcement tied to the grammy winner Whitney Houston. We have some big news to share. I would like to hear that. Kirsten dunst will be here. Shell tell us about her new thriller and what attracted her to the local. And willie sat down with the reallife wolf of wall street. What hes doing now that might surprise you. Coming up in our next hour, the stars of the highly anticipated movie called the maze runner based on a best seller. That sounds good. First, a check of the weather from mr. Roker. Its pretty wet out here in the northeast. We are going to be looking at showers ending later this morning. Wet weather down through the gulf. Were already seeing rain making its way into the southwest due to Tropical Storm odile. Temperatures continue scorching hot in Southern California. Cooler in the pacific northwest. Tomorrow, weve got a few showers in western new york. Wet weather along the gulf coast. Heavy rain continues in the southwest. Were worried about flash flooding. Well keep you apprised of that. Cloudy day, with some showers in the pacific northwest. That good morning. First alert meteorologist brittney shipp. A foggy morning, we are dealing with showers but clearing up by lunchtime. Temperatures stay below average between 73 and 76 degrees. Gradual clearing by afternoon. If you look at the sevenday forecast, we stay below average of 78 degrees for this time of year, but we warm back up again as we head into the weekend. And thats your latest weather. Matt . Al, thank you very much. Now to a story of murder intestine treeg, set against the backdrop of athens, greece, in the 1960s, all part of the new movie the two faces of january, costarring golden globe nominee Kirsten Dunst. On vacation with her husband who crosses paths with a mysterious stranger. Take a look. You keep a diary . Yeah. Its just notes from my work. Anything about me . Maybe a line or two. Are you coming with me . For a walk. Kirsten, nice to see you. Good morning. Good morning. I was jealous last night. They gave me a dvd and i watch this had movie at home. You watched it . Thats nice. Im jealous about actors and actresses. Theres athens, crete, istanbul. Does that at all come into play when you decide which roles to play . I do, actually. I would, too. Do you want to make a movie in the dead of winter in i went swimming after work when there was time and it was beautiful weather. Whats the best location youve ever been on in a movie set . I mean, greece, crete might have been one of the best. I always want to be part of an Addams Family movie. I wouldnt mind going to thailand, hawaii to shoot a film. Looks like fun. This movie is a thriller, based on a novel of the same name. Did you read that book . I read it when i got the part. What did you think of it . My role is very different in the book than it is in the film. I made her a more likable character. Because you want an interesting female character amongst these two, you know, really good male roles. So i think that i made her have more substance. Some redeeming qualities. I like the way you said that. Its really the story of a husband and a wife and a third person who becomes kind of intertwined in their relationship. Yeah. And theyve all got skeletons. Yeah. These are complex people and not particularly great people. Theyre not the most likable at times. But, you know, at first you see this whole facade of glamour and its slowly broken down, which is beautifully shot, i think, this movie. If you like ripley and that kind of vibe it has that kind of feeling. It peels the onion back. You learn more about why things are going to go wrong here as the movie goes on. I was reading notes and its described as a period piece because its set in the 1960s. Do you know how hard it is to get my arms around the fact that i was 10 around the time thats described a period piece . How did you like the 60s . Youre right. Youre right. I know what youre saying. I love the clothing. Again, the movie looks like a beautiful postcard from that time. You know, the quality of how it all looks. Its really beautiful. And, yeah, i enjoyed the kitten heels were a little rocky. Little funky, yeah. Especially Walking Around ruins, but does it help you get into a character when it takes you to another place in time . It does. Depending on the wardrobe and the undergarments, it does affect the way you carry yourself. Have a little fun here. We are celebrating the oneyear anniversary of carsons orange room this morning, okay . Yes. Congratulations. If you had to create a hash tag for where you are in your career right now, it would be hash tag 30s. Hash tag 30s . I dont know. I dont hash tag. Hash tag where you are in your life right now. Im in my 30s. Hash tag i dont know. Having the time of your life . I mean, it depends on the day. Your ups and your downs . Yeah. I mean, i dont know what hash tag chilling. Im going to put youre great in this movie. Does that work for you . Yes. Ill come up with it for you. Nice to see you. Thank you. Its a pleasure. The real wolf of wall street. And the big announcement from Whitney Houstons longtime friend and producer, clive davis. First on a Tuesday Morning, our dads a plumber. A business manager. And a stickler for homework. Im john kane running for state senate. Dad says the road to a good job starts in the classroom. [ lori ] hes a great dad who sees taxes going up but schools not getting the funding they need. [ john ] so id put back the billion dollars corbett cut from education and make sure corporations and natural gas drillers paid their fair share. Time to close the loopholes for the tax cheats. Dad thinks a lot about education. Im john kane and its about time harrisburg did too. Great song. Back now at 8 39. Whitney houston died two years ago, leaving incredible music spanning two decades. Her longtime friend and pruser is determined to carry it on. He is with us exclusively to announce a special project, upcoming album called Whitney Houston live her greatest performances. Clive davis, good morning. Good morning. What a pleasure. Im holding in my hand the art work. This is what it is going to look like when it comes out in november. What made you decide to compile all of whitneys greatest Live Performances together . You know, stemming from the 80s, or the 90s, she, without question, was the greatest vocalist in the world. I want history to know that. When i first met aretha, i knew everything aretha does makes history. In fact, shes coming out with a great album. Whitney, in the last two or three years of her life was not in the best voice soechlt memories are short. This dvd will establish there was no one like her. Its a phenomenal album. You discovered her when she was just a kid, you got her on the merv griffin show. Looking through those performances, it must have been incredible experiencing it again but it must have been difficult to see her like that again. Bittersweet. Yeah. On the one hand i, who was there, still marvelled at these incredible Live Performances. This is the first live album. To see her from the merv griffin show at 19 grow and to see the performances, you know, south africa, with the turbin, as powerful as she was, but bittersweet that she died too young. Those images of south africa are incredible. Does this al wum its going to be a cd and dvd. Can you see it and hear it. Does it have the blessing of her family, clive . Without question. Cissy has helped me put this together. This is her legacy. This is a call to the world that she was, in her time, the greatest singer. Was it emotional, i would imagine, for them to be able to see the performances you guys were choosing and experience it with you . We showed it, shared several hours with me. Of course it was. I was surprised to learn she didnt have a live cd out. Shes so brilliant, she was so brilliant live. Well, she was. But, you know, there was that period where she did movies so that i had to wait when she did bodyguard and the preachers wife. So, seven, eight years without a studio album. Clive, do you think theres an appetite for albums . You know how people are now, they can cherry pick what they want off itunes, a song here, song there. Do you think there will be an appreciation for her work this time . Theres got to be an appreciation for her work. When adele, two years ago, came with that great voice, 27 Million People around the world bought adele. And so what we need in music today is also the voice returning. Im blessed im working with aretha, Jennifer Hudson and this whitney live cd and dvd will unmistakably demonstrate that she was the best. We look so forward to it. Its nice to have a legend in the studio with us, clive. Thanks for coming to see us. We appreciate it. It will be released november 10th. Up next, do you have any regrets .

I want you to deal with your problems by becoming rich they are reallife tales of greed and excess that made for movie magic but landed the reallife wolf of wall street in prison for one of the largest securities fraud cases in u. S. History. Today, the wolf has changed his tune. It ambition is good. Jordan belfort is not selling stock. Is he selling himself as a public speaker with a cautionary tale. You know there are people watching this who are going to say this is a little rich. The wolf of wall street is now talking about Business Ethics and how to do things the right way. What do you say to them . Who better to speak about ethics than someone who was out there and lived it and made the mistakes and lost everything . Someone should go preach about drug addiction who was never a drug addict . How could that person ever empower another person who is doing things wrong . Take any person. Within a matter of a few days, believe it or not, turn them into a worldclass closer. You get a rush from this, dont you, being up on that stage . I love it. Some people have a fear of public speaking. I have a fear of not public speaking. But, no, listen, thats another thing. I love what i do. Jordan, like a lot of people, i have this impression of you from seeing the wolf of wall street movie, that you are leonardo dicaprio. How close was that to reality . Leo did an amazing job of capturing sort of the feeling and the essence of what was going on at the time. Some stuff is fictional. Thank you for your vote of confidence. Welcome to the investor center. Do you have regret . Does it depress you . Do you think its funny . What do you think about yourself . All of them wrapped up into one. I dont think people should dwell in their mistakes. They should learn from them. They collapsed my descent into this sort of one day i walk in, day one im this nice, eager, kid the next im at a strip club snorting coke. Thats not how it happened. It took 2 1 2, three years of that deevolution of the human soul. The thing i have trouble laughing at is the awful part of what happened. The government holds belfort personal responsible for a figure north of 100 million pump and dump scream, inflating stock prices and dumping them for personal profit. Court records show only a fraction of that restitution has been paid. Sales influence persuasion. Its the most important skill in success, bar none. Im giving all the profits back to investors. This is on top of what i gave all the book profits away after the movie, royalties of the movie. My goal with this whole thing is to try to really complete my own redemption story. Do you feel a great sense of remorse about those people . It wasnt all rich people who lost money. Some people with retirement accounts, right . So more middleclass people . No. It was rich people. But, again, theres rich and theres rich. Did some slip through inadvertently . I asked that question. Whether theyre rich or not its wrong. You paid a pretty good price for the life you lived back then. If you could do it over again, would you do it the way you did it . Absolutely not. I would change things. I would never engage in behavior that lost people money. I never felt great when i was high but that was my path and i accept that as part of my life and life happens while you live it. I wouldnt change a thing except for the fact that people lost money. He received a reduced prison sentence for cooperating with the feds. He says now he has been sober for 17 years. Guys, he is on this speaking tour, speaking around the world almost every day, going to take all that money and give it back to the victims of his financial fraud. He recognizes theyre showing up because they want to meet the wolf of wall street so he puts those stories in there. His message about redemption and not living on your failures, but learning from them is the thing he wants to get across to people. Okay. Interesting. Definitely. Yeah. Thank you very much. Were back in a moment. First this is to back now at 8 52. Time to find out who is celebrating a big birthday with some help from our friend, willard scott. Hey, willard.

Announcer from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, Natalie Morales, willie geist and tamron hall. Welcome to today on a drizzly Tuesday Morning here. Im willie geist along with Natalie Morales, tamron hall and al roker. Somebody had a lot of sugar. There we go. The little girl she was on earlier. She lost her two front teeth. She did . Hopping like that . Still going. Standing outside in the rain all morning, still has that energy. Thats the joy of being a kid. You cant douse our spirits today. Its tamron halls birthday. Thank you. Thank you. I get a song . Is this your song . I dont know but ill own it. We cant play that other song. Oh. And it is al rokers anniversary and deborah rokers. That is true. 19 . 19th anniversary. Congratulations. Happy anniversary. Orange room one year old. Party palooza. How is your birthday so far . I woke up 34, like this. My nieces just sent me a video of them in the driveway on their way to School Singing happy birthday. My darling best friend has adopted three children under the age of 4, one only calls me tambry. She sent me a video, happy birthday, tambry, cha, cha, cha. Isnt that cute . You could be will bry. No, willie, willis. Isnt it awesome how facebook and skype has changed everything . When our parents were in the service, you write a letter, your dad would get it 200 years later. Now you have instant video with your family. Its so cute. What i love people thousands of miles away instantly. What i love is that they remind you of peoples birthdays so you can never say i forgot your birthday. Facebook is genius for that. I love that. Happy birthday. A few things up our sleeves, though. Coming up soon. Stand by. Keep your head on a swivel. Al jumping out of a cake . Like an owl. What . Wont know whats coming. Adrian peterson, again, leading our broadcast. He has been reinstated by the vikings, will be able to play now in their game sunday against the saints. You remember, he was deactivated but not suspended. Getting paid. Yes. 700,000 for that game, by the way. A great player, makes a lot of money. The nfl has not taken any disciplinary action against Adrian Peterson. Here is vikings general manager rick spielman. This is a difficult task to navigate regarding the judgment of how a parent disciplines his child. Based on the extensive information that we have right now and what we know about adrian, not only as a person but what he has also done for this community, we believe he deserves to play while the Legal Process plays out. Adrian peterson came out with a statement on twitter. It reads like this. I never imagined being in a position where the world is judging my parenting skills or calling me a child abuser because of the discipline i administered to my son. I have always believed that the way my parents disciplined me has a great deal to do with the success i have enjoyed as a man. I am not a perfect parent, but i am, without a doubt, not a child abuser. Peterson also faces some new abuse allegations involving a different son that allegedly took place in june of 2013. His attorney has denied reports and theyve not been confirmed by nbc news. Also now some of the sponsors dropping out. In the backdrop behind the general manager, radisson, they say theyre not going to be there, suspended their sponsorship saying they take the matter very seriously, in light of their long standing commitment to the protection of children. There is some fallout going on. Some people are criticizing cover girl, one of the major sponsors of nfl, huge female push to get women into nfl, sports, whatever. The bottom line is that theyve released a statement basically saying that theyre waiting for more information to become available. There are, though, some women fans who say cover girl, maybe a stronger statement not pull out your sponsorship but something stronger than they released so far. As a brand thats always supported women and stood for female empowerment, cover girl believes Domestic Violence is completely unacceptable. Weve developed our nfl program to celebrate the more than 80 million female football fans n light of recent events weve encouraged the nfl to take swift action to address the issue of Domestic Violence. Thats not so much about Adrian Peterson but ray rice and exactly. Waiting to see more. I dont know what more theyre waiting to see. We have convictions in one case with the panthers player and damning evidence against ray rice. Waiting to see what Public Opinion is maybe. Its interesting. You see the female fans, large majority of them still wearing the jerseys and showing up at the games. Is that a large majority . Of the fans of those teams, you know. 45 of women are fans of the nfl. Weve shown a couple of people who supported ray rice. Right. It wasnt like we did a scientific poll. No. Right. I think the jury is still out. Are these players being reinstated because popular opinion hasnt swayed as much for i mean, it seems like, you know perhaps its due process. There is due process in the case youre seeing with Adrian Peterson. He deserves his day in court and deserves to clear his name and let the evidence be proven and shown. Thats part of the problem. If Adrian Peterson deserves his day in court, then ray rice will say the same thing. Why cant i play while this is working its way through the Justice System . Both have been indicted and charged but a jury has not decided. Under that premise, they should both be playing if that is the rule of thumb for the nfl and how its going to govern itself. Hardy, the rule of thumb, he was convicted but he is appealing that conviction and they didnt let him they let him play the first game. They didnt let him play last game. He is back on the roster for this coming weekend again so he was convicted. He could appeal forever and keep playing. That could take a long time. You cant let him come back if he has been convicted. Another story, i guess, robin thicke has convicted himself. We dont have to legalese ourselves that much on this. Robin thicke in his own words stand down lawyers. Robin thicke in his own words revealed the true story behind his mega hit blurred lines, made the admission at a Copyright Infringement case in which marvin gayes family says blurred lines is too close to got to give it up. He admits he has very little to do with the writing of the song because he was high on vic din and alcohol. So hes throwing Pharrell Williams under the bus . Pretty much. And that he has a Substance Abuse problem. After making six albums that i wrote and produced myself, the biggest hit of my career was written and produce bid somebody else and i was jealous and wanted some credit for that. Its interesting pharrell came out and said i wrote this song, everybody likes so much. The magic of that song is the voice of robin thicke. Theyre trying to keep each other in this fight. Wow its like jumping out a building and holding on to the other guy. Both are going to hit bottom but somebody will be underneath. Paula patten has been on this show. Their marriage fell apart around the same time. Do you consider yourself an honest person, theyre saying and he said no. Thats why im separated. Do you pick and choose when you tell the truth . He said absolutely not i told my wife the truth. Thats why she left me. Its hard. What he had to do was very tough. I think he kind of hit rock bottom in the admissions and it took a lot of courage for him to do that. At the same time he did say, i hadnt nothing to do with that was pharrells doing. He admitted in a deposition. I dont know how courageous he was. Talk about courage in the form of lawsuit. Didnt have to get into all the paula patten stuff in that. They were going all in on him. Robin thickes Attorney Says robin takes responsibility. It was a vulnerable moment and basically they say the marvin gaye heirs released this at a time he was broken down. Funny. He would have been better off sampling the song. If youre going to pay homage to it, sample it. Do you have to pay money . You ask for the rights. You have to pay for them. Right but they dont have to give you the permission to do it, then you pay. And youre free and clear. Yep. There you go. Wow thats why none of us do any lets lighten the mood here.

Lets get started, show whats going on for today. On the east coast, were having quite a rainy day, especially in the morning. As we move over to the midwest, you are look at more sun, 83 degrees there. What do you see down south, roxie . That looks like a lot of rain. Thats a bad hair day. Although your hair is lovely. Were going to move ahead to tomorrow. A lot of wet weather in the southwest because of odile. Showers in the pacific northwest. Do you know how i toss to the local stations . Oh, i think i know. Hit it. You hit it. I think you need to take it good morning, first alert meteorologist brittney shipp. A foggy and wet start to the morning, heading into the rest of your Morning Hours. We will still be dealing with showers, but clearing up in time for lunchtime. Temperatures stay below average, ranging between 73 and 76 degrees. Gradual clearing by the afternoon. If you look at the sevenday forecast, we stay below the average of 78 degrees for this time of year, but we warm back up as we head into the weekend. And that is your latest weather. Al, thanks a lot. Now what could be the start of the next big movie franchise, called the maze runner, best selling novel about a group of boys caught in a massive maze and with no memory of the outside world. To find out who they are, they need to escape without getting trapped inside overnight. Dylan obrien, patricia clarkson, ki hong lee and thomas brodiesangster star in this movie. Dylan, you play one of the main roles there as thomas, knowing youre getting into a film thats probably a franchise of three, a trilogy . Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It hasnt really felt it always felt like our own little intimate thing, to be honest, until this until its now being released finally. Everyone kind of asks us if theres any pressure to be part of like a big movie. I dont know. Its like this little movie to us still, this story that we all love. The screaming girls think its a little there you go. More than a little movie. Seriously its like being with the beatles. Does that make you ringo . Im not sure. In any event, this little mystery, we dont want to give anything away about your character. Its an interesting matchup, lord of the flies, lost, and hunger games all rolled into one. Thats exactly it. Its an incredibly powerful, exhilarating film and wes is off the charts, so stunning. Very young man. Yeah. And he really brought it on this one. And ki hong, you were sort of the leader of the maze runners. Oh, yeah. Spent a lot of time sprinting through the maze. Yeah. Tell us about your part in this role and how it plays in the movie. The keeper of the runners, tasked with running the maze and try to figure a way out. He has been there for three years and he still hasnt figured it out because the maze pattern changes every night.

Other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol.

Symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing.

It is a little damp as we said outside. But we dont say moist. No, we do say damp. What fun. How much fun is jimmy fallon having . Nothing he cant do. Nothing he cant do. First of all can he juggle . I bet you he can. Barbra streisand has not been on a late night show in 50 years. I would have never guessed that. Carson, i think, was her last. Wow. 1963. Jimmy fallon brought her in, and she was she has a new album out called partners. Everything is a duet. Everything is a duet. Shes not doing any concert work with it because everybody is either past, like elvis presley, or all so busy because theyre all such great musicians. Billy joel, billy richey, john mayor. What was fun about this was they took the duet idea, and like only jimmy fallon can, he sang the duets with barbra streisand. He sang as elvis presley, Blake Shelton and michael buble. Take a look. Love me tender love me true all my dreams fulfilled dont touch. Okay. I know, i know. Im sorry. Oh, my darling i love you and i always will you know i wanted to be you that was actually good. Nobody else barbra, i love you still. Oh to be you wonderful you it had to be you had to be you had to be you that was genius. Genius, yes. Oh, my gosh. You forget how funny barbra can be. If you ever saw whats up doc or some other films, just hysterical. One of the greatest duets she ever recorded, i think, the one with johnny mathis, a song from west side story i think called one heart from her broadway album. If you want to hear perfection, those two voices singing that song which is one of the some of the great musicals ever, but it is fun to see her having a little fun. And her voice, i mean, you close your eyes once she starts singing. She sings a little lower than before, but who cares. That voice is just superb. Good for them. Good news in the world of cancer. Yes. Nice to be able to say that. The American Association for Cancer Research released the annual Cancer Progress report and this is where the great news comes in. Americans are more likely to survive the cancer diagnosis now than at any point in history and there are 4. 5 million cancer survivors living today. And you know about that. And according to the National Cancer institute, the fiveyear survival for localized Prostate Cancer is almost 100 . For localized breast cancer, 98. 5 . Unbelievable. All about early detection. Early detection. For localized colon and rectum cancer, thats gone way, way up, almost 90 . What is interesting, young kids now, cancer used to be a thing that you whispered it and no one talked about it. And everyone knew so once you said you had it, everyone thought that was the end. Now it is interesting because young kids arent so afraid of it because their mothers are surviving it and theyre learning about it. When you say they have cancer, doesnt have the same image as nobody is a better ambassador for it than you are. If you take one look at hoda woman and you realize what she came through and how she came out, it is just you are living proof. Oh, thanks. Youre gorgeous. Youre my egyptian goddess. Stop it. Robin thicke. Oh, my god. So we werent surprised to hear this, were we . Yes, we were not. He had to do a deposition, there is some controversy about the song blurred lines and where it came from. Marvin gay, so, he gave a deposition and in the deposition he revealed a lot of stuff and one is that hes been abusing vicodin and alcohol for 18 months. And i guess during the whole time when blurred lines was top drawer biggest song of the year. Biggest hit in his career he was missing most of it because he was gonzo, according to he wasnt kidding, they were blurred lines. And also a question of he admitted in his deposition that he did not write blurred lines, that pharrell wrote it, he had no hand in it. And hes taken credit earlier for some of it. Seemed to act like he was a participant. But he said he was actually too high to write. And he doesnt even remember recording it. Thats what he said. The biggest hit of my career was written and produced by somebody else. He said i was jealous. I wanted some of that credit. Kudos for the honesty, but as we talked about in our in our daily news column, you know, we know that addiction is a disease, but lying isnt. Lying is something we can control, you know. And we we saw that a couple of times when he was here that he was under the influence, always a gentleman, and always was fun. But we thought didnt felt like he knew anyway, so he so the question is, the big point of the lawsuit is to find out if that song was a rip off from marvin gays song and he said at one point that he said to pharrell, hey, i love this one marvin gay song, can we use some of that beat. I love that beat. I love that beat. So it will all be resolved through an expert music person who understands, you know, chord progressions and intervals and that sort of thing whether it is thats the kind of thing you let the court settle it. He did say his wife left him after he admitted to using those things. I wonder if she left him because he had been using those things, not admitting to it, but she is completely silent and good for her. Not easy to do in the social media world. His lawyer said of the lawsuit, robins moment of personal vulnerability is being exploited and diverting attention from the obvious weakness of their legal claim. Okay. Did someone call us back . Is that a statement . That was a real we got a real statement . Everybody got it. Oh, everybody got it. When we get our . own stateme thats when it counts. Big news on nbc news. We have a situation we have been talking about doing this for the last couple of days. There is something called Beautiful People. Com. It is a dating website that only allows Beautiful People on it. Apparently most people who nine out of ten get rejected. And they tell you youve been rejected from the Beautiful People dating website. You have to submit a photo and profile and some people are not voted beautiful enough. In quotes. So as we said, so if you dont make the cut, of being beautiful, they start a program called adopt an ugly person. Now, they have since taken that down. They have changed it. Now it is called Beautiful People mentoring. Anyway, it is all kind of the same thing. We took umbrage right away, just say with the word ugly, anyway, we met some incredibly physically Beautiful People around here that the way they acted was so ugly, they with no longer beautiful at all. We have one of the mentors on skype with us. Welcome, elaine. We want to know, elaine, that was our reaction, mentor, empowerment and dating expert. We have nothing against you personally at all. But we found the word ugly being used was really offensive. Yeah. I have to agree. It was offensive. And i think that the use of it was to use mass exposure in the media. It requires people to look further into the program to see what it offers. What does a mentor do . How do you help people who already feel like theyre not attractive enough in this world . It is not actually the mentoring program is not just for people who feel theyre not attractive enough, it is also for relationship and lifestyle mentoring. So there are 12 various mentors on the program right now because it is a pilot, and each of us has a different specialty area. Some coming from the fashion industry, some coming from a background of psychology, physiology, others about Lifestyle Coaching and meantering. Quite a lot. And what is your expertise . Mine is actually the lifestyle mentoring on Work Life Balance and then relationships. And i guess confidence really is probably the main thing throughout, i bet. Yeah. It just you can understand why people had a reaction they have, because so much of this world is about peoples appearance and causes so much pain in peoples lives that, you know, people that are beautiful already know it, and people that are but who decides whats beautiful. Thank you for joining us. We do. Thank you very much. Youre right, though. You know whats beautiful . A bear cooling off in a swimming pool. This is awesome. Okay, so pretend you looked out your backyard and this is what you saw. There is a bear, got in the pool, in california. And it decided to go for a little swim. Hung out for 15 minutes. Now, there is a there is a heat wave going on in Southern California this guy probably needed it. He hung out and just goes back in. Sure would like a little sip of something. No. Just sitting on the ledge. You know how you do. He probably needs a book. A great place to read. He needs some tunes. Yes, he does. Stayed there for half an hour before he left.

Who would have thought, they gave him a feeding tube into his gills 45minute surgery, guys. It was removed. Most people dont know how to keep a goldfish alive for ten minutes. Ten years.

Contemplating it when someone said it was your back. Yeah. And he never gets them right. So congratulations for getting one right. Were here now with someone who always has our back when it comes to eating right, nbc news health and diet editor, made ly lyn fernstrom. Shes here with foods that may seem like healthier options. We think things are healthy. Were not really reading labels too carefully. Lets take popular things we think are healthy and the downside here is there is no bad food. You can incorporate anything in what youre eating. We overdo it, eat too much and too often and think these are things are good for me. Why do people think nutella is good for them. It has less fat than Peanut Butter so people think it must be better. And they eat it in europe. The fat is less, but there is a ton more sugar. Three little candy bars worth. Five pieces of sugar in just a small two tablespoon serving. You can eat a candy bar instead of a scoop of nutella. If youre using it to put on your bread in the morning instead of Peanut Butter, it is not equivalent. You can take some skinny bread and put a tablespoon, a little smear on with some fruit. Or you can do something that appeals to you, kathie lee. I dont like too much sweets. Not too sweet. It is an apple with a little bit. You want to downsize your serving. I lick off the top of every one. I would. It is not the nutritional equivalent of Peanut Butter. Vegetables. Well, the people have a love hate relationship with pasta. We think what is a healthier version of pasta. Serving size counts. You see pink, red, green, you think, spinach, tomato, must be better. Most pastas actually have very little vegetables in it and it is kind of freeze dried vegetables. There are ones that say equivalent to one serving. You have to look carefully. It is really no different than having just regular white pasta. So if youre looking for something more nutrient dense, dont look for the vegetables in the pasta, mix some into your sauce and look for whole wheat. A better choice. If you want to mix it in for color, thats fine. All right. To the chips. Who doesnt love chips . We think vegetable chips, fruit chips, must be great. Look at banana chips. On their own, theyre everywhere. Just 20 of these has about 250 calories. Youre thinking, hmm, this is one of these things you go how could this not be healthy . You think vegetable chips, still lots of oil. Potatoes are a vegetable. Whatever else youre using, you can do some of this at home. You can get Something Like a little top chipmaker which you use in your microwave and you can make sweet potato chips, carrots, whatever you want. Without oil. Without oil. Or kale. Kale in the oven is so crunchy. You can do that. Any fruit or vegetable works or fruit chips. These are little teeny slices called simple and crisp, available everywhere. If you dont want to bother doing this at home. Theyre crispy. Theyre supposed to be crispy. Okay. So when you think about yogurt raisins, yogurt and raisins, when could be bad. If you look at what is in yogurt raisins, it is a lot of sugar. Raisins inside, but a yogurt co coating. It is not yogurt. It is the equivalent of having chocolate covered raisins. People go, wow, ill have a cup or two cups, must be good, because im getting so downsize by sprinkling some in with nutrient dense things like cereal and nuts and raisins. That looks good too. That looks good too. Bacon. Were getting on to turkey. Turkey anything people automatically think it is better than beef or pork or anything else. But when it comes to turkey bacon, not exactly. About equivalent with fat and sodium and calories. So if youre looking to downsize, go to canadian bacon, almost no fat, very lean. If youre eating turkey bacon because you think it is better for you and you dont like it, you should never eat things because you go it is better for me. The same with turkey hot dogs. You can get reduced hot dogs for about the same calories. Not always calories or Health Savings when you think about that. Okay. And granola. Who doesnt love that . Just a tiny, a quarter of a cup has about 150 calories. So you cant load up a bowl and think thats your cereal. That much is 150 calories . Just a handful. So a better way to use it is to use it as a topping. Just a little bit on it, on to any kind of yogurt or mix it with your regular cereal. Just downsize that. And and oil. And Light Olive Oil. People think, thats probably better, lighter in calories, only lighter in color. So read the label. Wait a minute. Say that again. If you have a light colored olive oil, that means that light is mostly refers to color, not calories. So unbelievable. Dark green, same calories. If youre sloshing on a lot of Light Olive Oil thinking it is lower in calorie thanks, madelyn. For more of the real deal tips, go to klgandhoda. Com.

Are you the parent whose childs sleep routine comes down to bath, bottle and book every single night . Or are you the parent where anything goes in your house and you get them down when you can . Whether theyre 8 months old or 8 year old, kids and parents need to get enough sleep and it is best to form the good habits early on. Thats right. Here to help you do just that are tara glasgow, the Vice President of research and development at johnsons baby. And dr. Mary ellen renna, Board Certified pediatrician and colleen padia, founder of the parenting blog classy mommy. Nice to see all of you. Thank you so much. Today. Com did a poll and found that 72 of new parents had a loose routine. It is not that structured. Is that a they let the baby call the shots. Let the baby call the shots a little bit, yeah. I hope we can inspire some changes in that. Theyll pay for that. Yeah. What we learned is making a routine a daily ritual has a huge impact. If you do it every day, it makes a big difference. We have tested about 80,000 babies we researched in the past ten years. Different sleep patterns, different behaviors, and what we have learned is that in that time having a ritual where you start with something as simple as a bath, lotion, massage, followed by quiet time together, lullaby or reading a story, exactly, all of these work together. Good thing to introduce your children to. To engage the senses in a way that it locks in the babys memory, the moment from that night and remembering back to the night before. It has to be important to start early. I mean, how early is the right time to start . Never too early. What i recommend when i tell parents when they come home from the hospital is to start the routine as soon as theyre coming home. It reinforces the behavior for the parents so they get into that habit of it becomes habitual for them. And over the next few weeks and months, it becomes a habit for the baby because early on it is not going to be a habit for the infant, theyre all brain and reflexes. They dont have the cortex to know im being put to sleep and i have to do it on my own. As their brain is evolving over the next four to eight weeks, they start to develop a memory and it becomes a habit. If you havent been doing it here is the problem, new parents, especially, when that baby starts screeching and crying, we end up going in and comforting and what is the best thing you would say . It is really overwhelming. But i think the most important thing is to stick to that routine, find what works for you. Doing that bath time, reading a book is something i did with my children when they were young from day one, reading that book and it becomes a routine and habit for mom. And theyll love reading. My kids are 6 and 8 now, my son is 6, in first grade, we dont negotiate at bed time, he would prefer to dig worms in the backyard all day long, but the one time of day my reluctant reader will read is bed time. We made that part of our ritual. It is the consistency, isnt it . You have to be equal on it. Equal partner, parenting. A parent is watching and has a 2yearold and hasnt been doing it and now they say i want to start doing it, can you unring the bell and reprogram a child . You can unring the bell if you want to, but you have to be consistent. The problem is you can tell the parents to start all over again and do the bed time routine and put the baby or toddler into the bed or the crib while still awake so they can put themselves to sleep, but they have to be consistent. So the baby is in the bed and the baby starts to cry, all right, baby is crying, baby is crying, right to the crib and they respond to them so they enforce. But if they dont if they do this ritual continually and stick to what they have been doing, it works every time. So hard to do. So hard. How much sleep do they need, about, do you know . Depends on babies, generally, infants sleep 12 to 17 hours a night. And then as we get to 3, the average 3yearold sleeps about 13 hours a day or night. And as you get older, it gets less and less and goes to 12 they still need it but with the homework and after school things, jumps down to not enough sleep at all. Ladies, thanks. Thank you so much.
