No. Its about 70 degrees. But, you know, it is close to time for christmas. We dont have that much longer. The big Tree Lighting is december 2nd. We told you the holiday cups are out at starbucks. People are putting up Christmas Lights in joannes neighborhood. Only in joanne lamar cusss neighborhood. I love a christmas commercial. Heres one. Its already started. I do love this feeling. All right. Maybe it is time. Its time. All right, so remember yesterday we were telling you guys about gwen stefani and blake shelton. Mmhm. I want to say that i called that one a couple days before. You did . Was that in the privacy of your own bathroom . No. I called it here, because i was watching when it was the whole crew of the voice, and matt lauer, and when he was talking, blake was gazing lovingly. What about when blake was talking, with gwen . No. It was confirmed that theyre dating. And were happy, because we like them. I amm 90 happy. But the thing is, you have a man. If you were single, maybe youd be 10 happy. We have a photo right here, an incredible photo. Proof of blake and gwen, but we have a problem. We have a big problem. We cant show it to you. Because it costs. Its embargoed. Which means it costs money. Here it is. We cannot show it. Lets act it out, right . So you can be blake. Look where youre looking. Do you know that ive always been the boy in everything . You want to be gwen . No, no. Im happy to be the boy. Okay. I need a glass of wine. Youre on this side. I need my mic in here. Weve put this on, even though he wasnt wearing a cowboy hat. Im shorter than you. Im way taller than you. Now the camera is over here. So no, the cameras over there. Ready . My look is. Thanks for the one laugh, diane. We appreciate it. We appreciate it. Terrible, terrible. Were holding hands. How else can we better hold hands . That was an experiment that failed. So were sorry. People magazine is reporting that the two have actually written a song together. About somebody whos left a relationship for what they rule want truly want. This is a cute story about a 13yearold boy who is dating. We talked about this morning before we even heard this story because were both on the tall side. And your boyfriend, hes not short. No, hes not. Hes tall, but hes shorter than you in heels. I dont mind. Ive dated a boy, and i probably was a boy at that time, who came right up to here, you know, right in the chest area. So this 13 year old boy went to reddit and said im dating a girl whos taller than me. Theyve been dating for two months and so far theyve held hands. He wants to know how to make the move to put his arm around her when theyre at the movie. And he says theyre still shorter when theyre sitting. The question is, should they wait until they stand or go for it. I think he should do one of these and just drop it. When youre a 13 year old girl, you want your boyfriend to put your arm around you so badly you dont care how tall he is. Who was your first kiss . My first kiss was at a spin the bottle party in the 4th grade. 4th grade . I know, i was young, just like this, and then he ran away, which was, did i have cheeto breath or something .

Iane lane has enjoyed the kind of career mostt actresses can only dream of, from her debut in the outsiders to unfaithful. And the unforgettable, under the tuscan sun her latest shows a screenwriter who is blasted for political beliefs. Ke a look. You dont talk or ask. You just snap, bark, i keep waiting for you to startrt pounding the dinner table with a gavel. So in addition to being a pa rye rye yeah in the outside world. This isnt just happening to you. We all hurt. Diane lane. Thanks for having me this morning. When you read this script, did you right away say, yes, i have got to do that film . There were a couple things that made it for me. First jay roach directing it. All of his films are smart and funny, which is a wonderful thing, and then bryan cranston, pinch me hard. How did you learn to do that . Honestly, i was practicing that before i met with the director for the job. I wanted to make sure i had as many opportunities because i was learning from scratch. Your character, obviously, youre the wife of Bryan Cranstons character. The hollywood ten is a very notorious phrase thats been used a lot. And a lot of people arent familiar with what that is. There are screenplay writers who were banished to apply their craft because of their affiliations, either rumored affiliations or the fact that they had done anything at all to do with the communist party. There was so much fear about that post world war ii. And hetta hopper, i dont know how to compare her to today. Beautifully portrayed by helen mirren. She had like 30 million readers, and the way the media is controlled today is nothing compared to how it used to be. Because you didnt get comments at the bottom of the internet and stuff to say hey, wait a minute. She played such a great character. What was it like to be on set with bryan cranston, helen mirren . Ifsts a true story and it debates what it means to be an american. Humor of jay roach. Do you have to audition anymore or do they just say, we want diane lane . Its a meeting, a respectful meeting, i make sure i inform myself about the people im meeting. And the people with them as well. Auditioning, i dont think i got any parts from auditioning. I dont do well. You get nervous . I think back when it was more regular for me to be experiencing that i would go into sort of a whiteout, a panic. And i wasnt sure what i was doing, and i think i was a little angry and insecure or, you know, angry about being insecure, so it just, probably didnt go well. It makes a lot of people feel better knowing that you the plummer and lekelectrician. Youve got a deep throat coming up. I got to work with Elinor Coppola and her film debut, as far as directing that she wrote. And i got a gig with liam neeson neeson. Its great that youre continuing this great work. We want everyone to go out and see trumbo. Weve got more hollywood royalty, my southernstyle right after this. I know blowdrying fries my hair, but im never gonna stop.

It was amazing. This is a passion project f you. This is based on the movie by kari russell. What was it that captured you . I really love that this film sort of a quiet way. Its very intimate. And its feminist and eccentric, and its messy, and it deals with all these scenes that feel very truthful to me. It feels like real life, but she also the paints this slightly ethereal world as well. Its a nice balance of fantasy and reality. We know youre a fan of broadway musicals. We saw it in your book. Did you used to go to broadway shows when you were a little girl . There she is. This is me playing fern, in a Community Theater production of charlottes web. I love that. Have you always loved musical theater . I have. I grew up in it. My mom is an actress, and my theater, and my dads very musical. Were hams. We love workin the room. Whats, this waitress, i saw on instagram, pictures of you in your apartment. You were working on this for a long time. Did it come easy . I have to say, its been laborintensive, absolutely, but it has been mostly a very blissful project. I have loved working on this so much. It was a nice departure from kind of the grinds that im familiar with. So it felt very playful, actually to be writing songs for other people to sing, to be writing someone elses story. So all of that was really fun. Have you ever thought about starring in your own musical . It doesnt have to be about you. Well, okay. I actually want it about me, please. I say never say never. Theres definitely a part of me this is always, my little girl dream was to perform on the took a left turn, and its been a really delicious, you know, homecoming to come back to the theater.

But now she can add entrepreneur to her resume. I got to meet up with her at draper janes, her new shop named after her beloved grandparents. The second you walk in, youre like, welcome home, and thats the feeling we wanted to convey with the brand. Another thing that is very popular is this tote bag. When i drove up i saw your grandparents name on the store. I know how important they are. Little bit . Yeah. Seeing my grandmothers name is so emotional for me, and so many people out there were raised by their grandparents, my parents were there and were lovely and were working all the time. Made my dinner every night. Grandparents are amazing, and its important to honor those people in our lives. From clothing to accessories and of course, stationary, draper james is putting the spot line on southern style. If you grandmother walked in, what would she be attracted to . Probably the dresses. And she always had a belt on. To be 39 and starting in a business that i know very little about. I know a lot about shopping and fashion and i love cloes, but learning the business of it has been fascinating, and really a challenge for me. Reese hasnt only added this clothing line to her long list of accomplishments. Femalefocussed production company. You can choose to be there for it. Which brought wild, and gone girl, to the big screen. And now shes mentoring about but motherhood takes the top spot. Youve talked about leaning in. How do you find balance . The kids come first, no matter what. Theyre wonderful. Theyve been so supportive of what i do as a film maker, as an entrepreneur. Even though her grandmother was always a big presence in reeses life, its her mother whos always just a text away. We were talking a little bit about our moms. And the texts. The mom texts. Yes, the mom texts. Wednesday morning, love mom. Great mom, i know its wednesday morning. She just wanted to tell you she was there. She was like, bank, donuts. Traffic. Love mom.

All loling aside, its clear this southern girl is all about girl power. Wish me luck, bruiser. This is my first time as a serious lawyer. What is she doing in your own mind . I dont know. People have been talking about it for years, but i think its a really great time to talk about women in politics. Whatever your ideas and beliefs are, just dont wait for somebody to ask you. Raise your hand, get in there. I think elles a good inspiration in that way. Ive been all over the world, and people say we went to law school because of elle woods. What about you .
