winds. the category 2 storm, a lot of moisture coming up out of this thing. tons of moisture being wrapped around and from texas on into the florida panhandle, we re talking about tons of moisture. so from south padre island to corpus christi just to the east of there, upwards of 7 to 10 inches of rain. new orleans could see up to 7 to 10 inches of rain and everywhere in between it is still going to be another warm day to day, but the humidity is going to go down as we go into the afternoon. 20% chance for a shower this morning. i ll send an sos to the world we re keeping your diet on track for the fourth of july. on the long holiday weekend, often these backyard barbecues, a family trip. you don t have to sacrifice good food to enjoy yourself. joy bauer, good to see you. good morning. big july 4th weekend. love the fourth. we all love the fourth. you say don t be afraid of the fourth. not at all. it s so doable. so many great options for the grill and great questions on people who are traveling as well. let s hit the phone. arlene, good morning. caller: good morning. what s your question for joy? caller: i m on a low carb diet and doing great. i have lost nine pounds in three weeks. great. caller: my goal is to lose 20. i m going to a barbecue at my sister s house this weekend. i will probably eat ribs, baked beans, salad and maybe a little wat watermelon. is this going to kill my progress? first of all, congratulations on the weight loss. way to go. you re did he haefinitely go hit your goal and absolutely not. it s not going to blow your diet to have one off meal. and the truth is, the carbs that you mentioned are pretty darned healthy. first, watermelon. watermelon is only about 90 calories per large wedge or cubed. it gives you a hearty dose of vitamin c. enjoy. salad vegetables are high volume, low calorie. you just have to be careful with dressing. i would suggest either bringing your own bottle of low calorie or whipping up a low calorie delicious dressing you can share with your sister s guests. in terms of the baked beans, beans alone have a lot of filling fiber and they re a terrific food. terrific carb. and you add maple syrup i would say to enjoy them but max out at two heaping tablespoons. and about those ribs, the ribs are fatty. i can appreciate how much people love them. so have one or two and then fill up on the leaner proteins you re going to get at your sister s grill like the skinless poultry and hopefully poultry sausages, turkey burgers, even plain hamburgers will be better than the ribs. the last couple barbecues i ve gone to, i ve brought my own stuff, some meat, some chicken, just in case. and they ll think you re gracious and sharing with everybody so you can bring some interesting things. get up and exercise that morning because you ll have a little bit of calorie wiggle room and you ll be in the great mindset to make smarter food choices but enjoy yourself. enjoy the fourth. we have a viewer e-mail from brandie out of new jersey. brandie writes any advice for healthy eating in disneyworld over the fourth of july? my husband and i, it s a small world, are part of the weight loss challenge among friends and don t want to blow it over our vacations. up fun. this is a fun question. i m going to tell her to pick up an inexpensive pedestrian ohm ter, strap it on and track your steps. it is mind-boggling how many miles you can put in trekking around the park. 10,000 steps is about five miles. and i bet she s going to do way more than five miles. before you hit the park, it s really important to start with a light, satisfying, energizing breakfast because that s when you have control and every single hotel in the area, or if you re at an apartment or house, you can get an egg white omelet stuffed with lots of vegetables, maybe reduced fat cheese and fresh fruit. so you start your trek to the park feeling full, energized and satisfied. and then stash some emergency snacks that won t melt in the sun in a fanny pack or in a knapsack or your purse, soy crisps or carrots or apples. if you want something frozen and treaty, avoid the mickey ears ice cream and go for plain fruity ice pops and even soft serve ice cream works. and the parks are doing a great job, all of the amusements parks, offering healthier meal ideas like grilled chicken sandwiches, hold the mayo, salads with interesting fixes. you could have a plain burger, a slice of pizza. just delete the fries. good idea. to deirdre on the phone. good morning. what s your question? caller: good morning. i will be at new orleans for delicious food for the fourth. i need to know what dishes i can choose so i do not regain the weight i ve lost. she s going to have a fun fourth. and the good news is there are so many healthy options that are creole, cajun. the first thing is when it comes to sauces and dressings, stick with tomato based and away from the creamy, rich, white sauces. they are calorific. feature entrees with lean protein like fish and lean steak prepared in a low cal way, grilled, broiled, blackened, even poached or steamed will work. and i know right now because of the spill they re going further out so they re still sourcing it pretty well. they are and you can find out at these different restaurants. and what about starch? eat half that comes along on your plate. if you let the waiter take it away and be mindful of the extra, bypass the bread, minimize the cocktails, and be selective with desserts. one to two nights while there she can have a dessert and bypass the other nights. you ll have a good time. most importantly, have a great time. joy, thank you so much. you have a happy fourth. you, too, al. coming up, lounging by a pool or throwing a block party for the

is it oprah? lebron james or miley cyrus? forbes magazine is out with its list of the 100 most powerful celebrities. lacy rose is a staff writer for forbes and co-ed tore of the celebrity 100 list. good morning. good morning to you. the 100 most powerful celebrity, fortune, fame playing a big part of it. this year you looked at social media as well. how did that play into who you ended up picking in the top 100? we looked at facebook fans and twitter followers and what we saw is that brought on a lot of the younger names to the list, people that are cultivating their fan base, connecting with their fans. and it s helped them. okay. number one on the list as we ve talked about and she s been holding steady there this is her fourth year if a row, oprah topping off at number one, earning $315 million. there s a case of someone working across all platforms. she has her own show. she has spinoff shows. she has radio. she has magazine. she is special. the oprah empire. number two on the list is beyonce, married to jay-z. $87 million. here is someone who has built an empire outside of music. of course she has popular tours and is selling albums but she has endorsement deals, now has a perfume so she is working class. selling her brand. number three on the list, james cameron earned $210 million. thank you, avatar. he hasn t been on the list since titanic. $217 million it at the box office alone and he s cashing in on it. taking charge of the musical arena and making a very impressive debut at number four is lady gaga. and this has a lot to do with the whole social media aspect, right? no question. here is someone who has close to 5 million twitter followers, close to 10 million facebook fans. she has really been able to connect with that fan base. she has endorsement deals, tours, videos that sell, so she s really a brand herself. a multimillion-dollar brand. i think this one surprised a lot of people. tiger woods actually held steady at number five. he was sick last year and continued at number five even though, obviously, his public image has taken a huge hit and he s lost a lot of money in endorsements. over the last 12 months he earned $105 million on the course and off. still. still. absolutely. he has lost deals and you ll likely see him take a hit next year when we factor in the losses. for now he s still the top earner in sports. okay. next in the top ten, britney spears. she came back actually kind of quietly. i think making $64 million last year. i think it was the music that s responsible for the comeback. it s not the personal life garnering the attention. sixth top grossing tour in the world. she has fragrances that sells, endorsement deals. good for her. number seven on the list, irish rock band u-2. what is the key factor then for musicians to stay on the list? with musicians they have to be touring. you re not making money from album sales the way you once were so you have to be on the road. that s how you remain relevant. and u-2 did that. huge tour. sandra bullock had quite a year. of course the golden globe/oscar winner. she earned $56 million. although she had huge setbacks in her personal life. she did and she garnered attention for that but as you said two films that grossed more than $300 million at the box office. so that was a really big year on screen and off. and i imagine next year is going to be even better. next we have our first actor on the list, johnny depp. he hasn t ranked on this list i guess a couple years. he had a strong year last year. $75. i call that quite strong. and the mad hatter. he s the first actor to headline two billion dollar films with alice in wonder land and pirates of the caribbean. madonna was number three last year. she s fallen a little bit but she s still keeping herself relevant. absolutely is keeping herself relevant making a ton of money, selling album sales, an episode devoted to her. if there s a measure of hipness, that may be it. the newcomers on the list as we were talking earlier, kristen stewart, robert pattinson from twilight. they re on the list. and the black-eyed peas are as well. that comes from touring and that also comes from accepting a lot of endorsement deals. they re a corporate band, as it were. very commercial and making a lot of money doing it. it s a fascinating list. thank you. see it all in forbes the celebrity 100 list. we have it for you posted as well on todayshow.com. still to come, tips to help your pets beat the summer heat. we asked real people to film themselves taking the activia 14-day challenge. hi. i m emily ilic. i m going to start the activia 14-day challenge today. problems that i have are, you know, irregularity. i do have some doubts if it works. i think it s really good. um. i like the flavors. i think from being a skeptic in the beginning i do think that activia actually works. help regulate your digestive system. take the activia challenge. it works or it s free. activia love to see kids spirits shine. it works or it s free. superstar and mom, martina mcbride and sunny d sunny taste. sunny spirit. sunny d. brings out the best in kids. sunny d blend it. sprinkle it. sweet!
