when you see just the hair and makeup. i was talking about the dress, of course. got it, okay. demi moore, jonathan, you liked what she was doing with her hair? i liked, i like demi s whole look last night. i thought it was a great back-do. a really loose, kind of the new up-do. it s a back-do. it s loose, swept on one side. i thought she looked incredible. i didn t like the color of her dress. but i liked the dress. i thought demi looked hot. what did you think of the color of the dress, bobbie?

i thought sandra looked absolutely beautiful. she she looked hot. i like sandra s hair down. i love when she does the side part. it really suits her face. and the fuschia lips really popped. i think her lips could have been more red instead of purply. but she looked hot, obviously. now there are a couple of fresh faces you wants to talk about. i m so excited to see so many great new faces on the carpet. gabby. gabourey sidibe, i m such a big fan of her. kerry mulligan, we ve got just so many exciting new actresses. gabby stopped by earlier, still wearing the dress and it loed great. she was in marchesa, kerry mulligan in prada. anda kendrick. so many nice young girls on the carpet that were stepping out in style. how about kristen stewart?

well, you really look at your use. you know, which we ll get to when we get to the closet. it s all about sort of how much you re using the things that you have. because some of us have more than we need, really. the first place you need to go to figure out what you re using is to be able to see things well. and so what we ve done today is for ten years eve been telling people how to organize things. this is an innovative way to organize your jewelry and accessories, take a humble pegboard you can get at a hardware store, you can paint it a bright color, keep it white. you can mount it on the back of your closet door, keep it inside your closet. depend ogen what sort of jewelry and accessories you wear, you can display them easily. you can hang a mirror, do the julia child thing and outline things and show where things go. and you can do something similar with a regular coatrack. this is something you can mount in your closet. i ve seen this used for jewelry. you can hang necklaces on these hooks or do belts and scarves and hats. these just a couple of inexpensive items that you might have already have around your house, your basement and your garage. and speaking of which, this is a very interesting idea you have for your closet. you have all of these pieces hung basically backwards. if you can see this, you guys, they re hung so that the hanger goes this way, right? and you do that for a purpose. the idea is, we re heading into spring, as you re getting out your spring clothes, take everything, hang it all the same way. so if you hang everything facing out an then as you wear the item, turn it around and hang it back that way. by the end of i m not sure we saw that. what she s saying if it s hung this way all of it, after you wear it, turn it around the other way. and as a result, you know what? you see by the end of the season, you see what you ve worn. if you have some things that have not been turned around, that tells you something? yeah, time to donate. time to it s so hard to get rid of things. or put in another class et that isn t cluttering your main closet. i m putting a box aside. i know if i can give it to salvation army or somebody who is going to benefit. it will be okay to get rid of it. you feel i m not wearing this, someone should. all this closet product by the way is real simple product from bed, bath and beyond. many of the things were designed with multipurposes in mind. all of the hangers are uniform. which creates more space in your closet. if you paint your closet a bright color, it helps you sort of see the space a little bit better. it makes it, organizing your closet, a much more palatable task. we ve attached a badry-powered l.e.d. light. a lot of closets have a lot of darkness problems. so those are, you know, $9 easy to find. you don t have to rewire your whole closet. so here we have sweater organizers, now you can see, you know, organizing your sweaters is really basic. you start with the heavy things on the bottom. here we ve organized by color. but you can also take a sweater organizer. and hang it say, in your linen closet, hank it in a guest room closet. and you can use this kind of space, if you don t have enough shelving, you can put all kinds of things on this organizer. you ve got this little device. this is a great purse organizer. really easy to see what you have on any given moment. but it can also serve as a kid s toy organizer. it won t pinch little fingers. really easy for kids, moms and dads to access. here s one of my favorite ide ideas, you have a basic tissue box. when you re finished with the tissues, if you re like me, you ve got a lot of this around your house. if you don t always remember to take the reusable grocery bags to the store. rather than having this big explosion of plastic under your kitchen sing, just use a tissue box to organize them. i love that idea. that s just brilliant. because then you re multipurposing this plastic. and really quickly because we re running out of time. you have napkin holders to organize your bills. and here? this is for a desk drawer. it s so hard to find desk drawer organizers that fit your drawers. can you make one one out of a loaf pan and take them out when you need them. coming up next, rock shrimp tempura, from the man known a thnchts morning in today s kitchen, delicious around easy rock shrimp tempura, that anyone can make at home. the chef known as the food buddha is the executive chef at chicago s famed sundha rest russian. tempura is something that i would never attempt to make at home because i thought it was hard to make. it s very simple. you can get store-bought tempura flour. which we ll use here. very simple. this is one of our signature dishes at sundha. our premiere rock shrimp tempura. we ll add water and give it a light stir. you want to keep it a little lumpy. it s what gives it the lightness. so you don t want to beat it. you don t want it completely smooth. you want it to have the clumps of flour. so at the restaurant, we take a little bit of our rock shrimp and we dredge it in the tempura flour. so then we put in the tempura batter. so i m going to do this here. and we ll fry up a little bit, very quick. quick and easy. now you actually freeze, do you freeze you can, like if you need to do it ahead of time for a party, can you take it to this point after you do the flour. after you batter it, exactly. and then so the fun thing, too, not fun, but if you coat your hands with the tempura flour and you drop it into the oil, it protect you from the splash. so you can just drop it in. that s great. and you want to keep it separate. keep it separate, kind of let it run through your fingers. and the oil is very, very hot. the oil is about 350. here we use canola oil. in the rest you want we seuss a tempura brand oil. and it cooks fast. exactly. what else we use the tempura batter for is for binding. we make corn fritters at the restaurant. we take fresh corn, scallions, celery, coriander, which is ground and fresh garlic. so here garlic. hey, how are you, good morning? i heard garlic. good morning. ann used to make tempura. these are beautiful, great. what i do is i mix tempura flour. so it coats it and i add water, which gives me this texture, where it s sort of creaminess. but it sticks together. sort of pasty. so it holds the shape of the fritter as i drop it into the oil. should i check on these? you want these a little more golden. gbd s i call them, golden brown and delicious. so you drop that in? yes, at sundha, this is one of our signature dishes, also, indonesian corn fritters. let me show you back he live, local, latebreaking. this is wbal-tv 11 news today in baltimore. good morning. i am mindy basara. six people, including the victim s wife, are under arrest in connection with the shooting death of a gas station owner. karla porter was taken into custody saturday evening just before her husband william s funeral. he was shot at the gas station in joppa road in towson sunday morning. domestic is say her brother, calvin lee mowers, her sister, susan datta imagine if it were this easy to spot the good guys. you know, the ys who always do a super job. well, it is. just go to the verizon® yellow pages. and look for a business with the superguarantee shield. you ll get the job done right, or we lltep in and help to make it right. so, protect yourself with business backed by the superguarantee® from supermedia. look for your verizon® yellow pages being delivered now. it looks like the great weather we had over the weekend will continue today. mostly sunny is our forecast. high temperatures in the mid- fifties this afternoon. it will be even warmer tomorrow. upper 50s on tuesday. slight chance for a couple french hours on wednesday. best chance for rain this week at the beginning of the weekend. it will be in the 40 s on saturday and sunday. see you back here for 11 news at noon.
