his life today. and the first secret service agents being forced out over a prostitution scandal in colombia. now one of the escorts is talking about a fight over her cash money. that's what she called it. the reason this whole story left the hotel. >> and rocker ted nugent has a date with the secret service to explain inflammatory comments he made about the president. and airport naked guy is now speaking. why he says that he doesn't regret taking off all his clothes at a security checkpoint. >> more on that one to come. new details on what happened in the secret service prostitution scandal in colombia. three of the 11 implicated agents are now out. one of them, a supervisor is being allowed to retire. another is being forced to leave the agency. and cnn has learned he plans to fight his dismissal. a third agent has resigned now. eight others remain on administrative leave with their security clearance revoked. they are accused of bringing prostitutes to their hotel in colombia last week, two days before president obama's arrival. we are now hearing for the first time details on what led the prostitute to wind up exposing the incident. she spoke to "the new york times" reporter william newman who was on "ac 360" last night. >> one of them was essentially hitting on her and said he wanted to be with her. and she says that she told him, well, that's great, but you have to give me a gift. and he said, well, how much is the gift? and she says she told him $800. and then a lot of drinking happened, and at some point she and him went back to their hotel. the next morning, this woman asked for her payment and the guy says -- he became angry and said i was drunk and you can't expect me to pay that. and she insists and he calls her names and gets angry and throws her out of the room. >> bre anna keilar is live in washington. so many new developments. there's been a lot of talk of drug testing. did they actually find drugs in the rooms? >> so far there's no evidence zoraida that there were drugs in the room. there have been reports the secret service is aware they've investigated in fact, in colombia, investigators have talked to maids who serviced the room and the maids told them they didn't find any evidence of it. we know that mark sullivan, the head of the secret service, considers drug testing to be very much in his arsenal of resources here. and that some of the secret service agents have objected to the idea that there's reasonable cause for there to be drug tests. we also know that each of these men were given the opportunity for a polygraph test. the idea being that some have said they didn't know that these women were prostitutes. but we've also heard from critics who say that doesn't matter. it was still a security risk to bring them to the hotel. >> and you mentioned sullivan. there are calls for him to be ousted saying that it's three strikes. he should be out. tell us about that. >> right now it's still really just one person. this is randy forbes. he's a virginia republican. when you look at more prominent republicans like peter king, the chairman of the house homeland security committee and darrell issa, they're still standing by mark sullivan. it's possible you know, as this goes on as we talk about what this investigation yields. if it turns out this was not an anomaly and was much more widespread there could be more of a chorus. right now it's very limited. >> so those three that were ousted or one of them actually chose retirement, will they actually be charged with anything or are they kind of off the hook now? >> it's unclear at this moment. what we'll be seeing moving forward here, according to sources is a review board. they will be looking into this to see if this is an isolated event or if it is systematic. and we will be finding out details on also not just these three secret service members but also the other eight who have been placed on leave at this point. >> so much nor talk about. brianna keilar in washington, thanks. in and the tributes have been pouring in since word came yesterday that dick clark has died. he was a broadcasting and cultural icon who spanned the generations. clark's "american bandstand" broke new ground in the 1950s and '60s bringing african-american artists to the country at large. for more than 30 years he hosted america's countdown, new year's rockin' eve. he suffered a massive heart attack yesterday. he was 82 years old. friends and colleagues are sharing their memories with cnn. >> he was a pioneer, and, you know in the early days of television with "american bandstand," he revolutionized music on television. as we pointed out earlier, talking even before we went on. he had blacks and whites dance together. unheard of. a lot of young people watching would say, what? that's crazy? that was crazy then to put that on. >> i think that's the thing that dick clark gave the world was that he enabled them to understand that they can love all the music no matter where it comes from. >> when these people leave us, they leave a hole that doesn't get filled. he's just -- he's going to be remembered a long, long, long time. this business owes him a debt. >> and they were remembering the man they called america's oldest teenager with a candlelight vigil last night at the dick clark american bandstand theater in branson, missouri. showbiz tonight's initinischell turner is live. thanks for waking up so early. tell me more. the tributes have really been pouring in. it was really amazing to see yesterday. tell me more about what people are saying. >> well, absolutely, kate. it is. by the way you can see that the flowers are adorning his star here on the walk of fame here in hollywood this morning. you guys talked about the tributes. and so many were pouring in from celebrities, dick clark's pie . peers. they took to social media. how much he meant to them and the entertainment industry. the man that many people consider his heir apparent, ryan seacrest, also paid tribute to dick clark last night. ryan took over for dick for new year's rockin' eve. and he also was kind of the next great entertainment mogul. that's what most people think. well, he opened his show "american idol" last night and paid tribute to the man he called a dear friend. listen to this. >> we can't begin tonight's show without acknowledging the passing of a television pioneer. and my dear friend, dick clark. without dick, a show like this would not exist. he will be missed greatly. our thoughts and our prayers go out to his family. >> now, and he did get on with the show last night right after he gave -- paid tribute to his friend dick clark. one of the things, one of the tributes we kept hearing yesterday from so many artists and we heard it from larry king was that dick clark paved the way for so many african-americans to be seen on mainstream television. also paved the pay for blacks and whites to be together on television. and that's something we heard so much yesterday. something that a lot of people say he will be remembered for even more than a lot of the television shows he produced. back to you guys. >> absolutely something worth highlighting and emphasizing in addition to his work. so much to -- so much of an impact this man has had that has spanned generations. really quick, any plans for a memorial service? obviously, it's still very early on, though. >> yeah, it is. we heard from a family spokesperson yesterday. and they said they don't plan to have a funeral for dick clark but as far as a public memorial, they really hadn't made that decision yet. like you said, it's pretty early. this all happened very quickly. they are still trying to decide on that front. >> nischelle turner in hollywood, thanks so much. and before you leave your house this morning, make sure you set your dvr for "starting point" at 8:00 a.m. soledad talks with larry klein. take a look at this heart-stopping surveillance video of a toyota camry barreling right through the front doors of a packed publix supermarket. first you may find this video disturbing to watch. here it is. four people were sitting on a bench just inside the exit door saturday morning when 76-year-old thelma came crashing through. the first thing she hit, a baby stroller. the infant was thrown about 50 feet in the air. incredibly suffered only minor injuries. ten people were injured there. one of them is now in critical condition. wow. that's tough to watch. an 83-year-old man who wound up pinned beneath the car, look at the highlighted portion of the video. you can see quick thinking customers lifting the car off of him. >> it was probably about 10 or 12 guys that actually had the -- you know, had the smarts to go over and they lifted up the car. i mean, a crane couldn't have lifted it up any quicker. >> the woman behind the wheel of that car has been charged with reckless driving. earlier this month, five people were hurt when a small plane crashed into a publix supermarket in deland about 40 miles north of orlando. >> that was amazing video, too. scary. >> the baby is okay. you see it go straight into the stroller. >> when you see that you never imagine everyone could be okay. so glad they are. the infamous janet jackson wardrobe malfunction could be headed before the supreme court. we will tell you why the obama administration is asking justices to weigh in on that. and a man who stripped nude at portland international airport is now speaking out. why he says getting naked felt like the right thing to do. you're watching "early start." ♪ ♪ ♪ and i never thought i'd feel this way ♪ ♪ the way i feel about you [ male announcer ] it's time to clean out your garage for a car that's worthy of being the 2012 motor trend car of the year. the volkswagen passat. that's the power of german engineering. ♪ it must be love ♪ love, love ♪ it must be love durn'it, this thing's runnin' slow. bet you think you're pretty quick?
