Because we are actually going to be in l. A. Tomorrow. Yes, we will. Well be doing an interview that we want you guys to come and help us with. We need you friday night at 5 30 pacific time out at santa monica place. You all know where that is. I dont but im going to find out. Well be doing an interview with blake thats going to air next week. Blake shelton. Enough said. Come at 5 30. Were going to be rolling they have to come at 5 30. Interview starts then. Saturday look at the screen and memorize it. Saturday, 10 00 a. M. , 12 00, and 2 00. Were doing three shows. Sunday, 10 00 and noon, and then theres more to come, and its first come first serve so there will be a lot of push and shove to get a seat. Fisticuffs will break out im sure. 12th and 13th. The same times. 10 00, 12 00, and 2 00. Dont i cant see that far, hoda. And then wednesday 10 00 and 1 00. So get on the train. Right on the train. Why are we clapping . I dont know. Were getting out of here right on time. Oh, my gosh. I dont like it when they call things frankenstorms. Everything depends on how those two converge together. Yes. We all remember what we went through with sandy, and many of us are still going through it with different things. I mean, you werent affected at all in the city with the apartment. Not in the city, but you saw what happened to everybody else. This storm, its in terms of where you live, they keep sort of changing how what the snow amounts are going to be like. Apparently boston and a lot of the northeast up there is going to really get socked. We could get a lot of snow or we could get a few inches. It depends on what happens with the track. Well be sure to tune in on the news and see how much everybody got. From the sun. You know, the grammys are there while were there. I now. Know. Did we plan this . We didnt plan it that way, but there will be a lot of happening. Its hard to even get tickets on a plane the hotels are yeah. We did it, and were going to be there. Heres the deal with the grammys. There is apparently a memo that came out at cbs, and they dont want to see any side boob. No side boob, no butt crack, no we have to read this. Its crazy. Its unbelievable. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of your buttocks. I love that word. And buttock crack. It says here. Bare thighs or under curvature of the breasts. Can you believe someone is writing that . Is also problematic. Problematic. Please avoid sheer seethrough clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region somebody got excited. Please be sure listen. Look at this one. With some guys its so easy. You just say the word. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered. What region . The general region. Look. There so no visible puffy bare skin exposure. What does that even mean . What puffy are they talking about . Cbs says it shouldnt have been written down in a memo form. Some people need it spelled out for them, and guess what, theyre going to ignore it. Youre talking to the music business. This is from the daily news. Its called crackdown. These are all the outfits people have worn. Toni braxton shes our guest this morning. Well have to ask her about that. There she is in the top corner. Anyway thats interesting. Its not just that. Theyre also saying, you know, language or any language we know because the fcc goes after you bigtime. Gives you huge how do you have time to this is the hard part. Theyre rock stars. They sing this way every other word is nasty, vulgar, Something Like that, and they talk that way, and then all of a sudden theyre supposed to come on television and forget all the their natural rhythms and just say i want to thank my mother and god. It isnt going to happen. Pink looked amazing when she did that. That was great. That was artistry. That didnt feel like exposure. That wasnt exploitive. That was amazing. I think telling rock stars how to dress is not a great idea because now its teeing it up for what will definitely be people showing more. Thats what people do. They say dont show it, and then they show it. I thought toni looked great. I never looked that good one minute in my entire life. Me either. How does that stay up, though . They have ways. They have ways. Lots of tape. Tape and stuff. Front page of the daily news. I know a lot of our audience is going to say we told you we dont want to hear about it anymore, but we are in the news, people. This is alleged from the daily news. It says shes living back at home broke and back at home with mom. Her mom did say i saw in an interview where she was she wanted lindsay to move back home with her because she thought she could keep an eye on her more . There would be less influence by some of the yeah. Anyway, shes back in long island, according to this newspaper, and living in her teenage bedroom where she lived when she was younger. What do you think about what were seeing . If it was just lindsay that needed help, but its that whole family that needs help. If they can get it together and get help together, because its truly a dysfunctional family. I dont think they dont love each other. I think they do love one another. They dont have the skills to cope. All of it seems to be playing out in public because i think dina was interviewed by a couple of people and there were pictures of her out and about. Quit giving interviews and go get healthy. Quit giving interviews. Until you have some answers. Once you share them with people, then they that will help them through their tough times as well, but otherwise it just seems like this neverending train wreck. You are watching it in slow motion, which is the worst thing. You see it coming. The other story that seems to be big and its a story about rihanna. There are all kinds of pictures that rihanna is back with chris brown, and shes going to court with him. This is where he he is in court recently for not showing up and allegedly doing what he was required to do by court order, which was his community service, picking up trash in different places, and theyre saying they have all kinds of evidence that he wasnt where he was supposed to be at the time he was supposed to be doing the community service. Everybody talks about this article, hoda, about why some women could continue to go back to the bad boy, but, you know, there are bad girls by nature too. I dont mean theyre bad like god doesnt love them kind of bad, but bad behavior. I think rihanna has made a choice, and it angers people that you go back to the guy thats hit you and theyve seen the pictures. She says shes making her own choice and she doesnt care what anyone thinks. Its her decision. If its her decision its my mistake. Heres her quote. I decided it was more important for me to be happy. I wasnt going to let anybodys opinion get in the way of that, even if it is a mistake, its my mistake. Theyre all going to be saying that at the grammys. It wasnt my fault i didnt realize that my left what was showing. Yeah, yeah. If its a mistake its my mistake. Now, do they all sing live at the grammys . Oh, yeah. Oh, boy. Remember the milli vanilli thing . That was big. Especially now in light of all thats happening. Im excited that were out there when the grammys are going to be there. Are you going to the party . The Clive Davis Party. Were invited to the Clive Davis Party which is so much fun. Were doing three shows saturday and two on sunday, and weir were in santa monica. I was just reading in usa today and it said the toughest ticket to get is the Clive Davis Party. Maybe well go. Then im going. So this go daddy thing that weve been showing you with the slurping and licking. Cant do that at the grammys. No, no. No kiss and no slurping. No tonguing. Its taken on again, you remember the go daddy one. Its taken on a whole other dimension. Oh, are we going to watch the anyway oh. Cant hear it. It is a little slurpy. Like going to 7eleven. Now leno had some fun with it. Lets watch this. Hey, bar, that go daddy super bowl commercial you did was great. Its one of my favorites. Thanks, jay. Thats so sweet. Im thinking, any chance we could recreate the ad . Sure. Pucker up. Oh. Oh, oh, oh. I thought he wasnt going to open his mouth, but he did. Ah. He was probably wondering i had no idea she had such facial hair. You know . Ooh do you know just before i walked on the set here, who kissed today . Willy and al. On the lips . On the lets get it on oh, no. No, no, no. Do it. Oh. We dont judge. We dont. We dont judge. Okay. So how about this little kid that was so cute. The little kid shooting baskets. Adorable. Also in the studio while we were wandering the halls there was this little boy who apparently prodigy. Ever since he could hold a basketball, any kind of ball, he was throwing it in the air and hitting hoops. He loves it. So this is one of those youtube sensations, and you say his parents posted it, and you think, wow, thats really cool, and six what . Is that really six feet . Seven foot. Oh, indeed. Unbelievable. Oh, my gosh. Look how high he has to throw that. Wow. And then he came to the studio, and usually those things work those things can be edited. Yes. We dont believe everything we see. Were cynical because were in news. This kid came here, and he was hitting the shots. Remember i told you, hoda, that when tiger woods was a little teeny tike, he came on the show with me and regis, and we had a putting green set up. Every single one of them. Youre kidding. How old was he . I think he had to be 5 years old or something. Thats amazing. I dont remember exactly. You think, oh, its just goes on to be tiger woods. Are you ready to take us to california . This is a song thats going to launch us on our plane ride. Youre going to love this one. It will put you in the mood for california. We want everybody to be california dreaming. Its the mamas and the paw pass papas . I dont think so. Is it the beach boys . Nice try. Get back in this century. I know a place where the grass is really greener is this katie perry . Yes. Warm, wet, and wild there must be something in the water ready . Gin and juice thats why you like it. Underneath the palm trees come on. Lets hit the chorus. Ready . I have been ready for about 30 seconds. Not this ready. Now youre really ready. Go. You can travel the world nothing comes close to the golden coast thats kathie lees coast. I do love it out there. Love it. California girl. California girls, were unforgettable daisy dukes bikinis on top yep. Thats why cody loves it. Melt your pop sickle thats it. That is the real song. Not a great one, but really its a song. All right. Okay or not okay . The question is is it okay to lipsynch . Heres what we have to say about that. Some organizations insist on it for technical reasons like the anthem at the super bowl, and you actually have no choice if you want to do it, you have to lipsynch it. Not okay. I would rather have it live, maybe imperfect but real as opposed to lip synced and flawless. You would say no to the nfl if they wouldnt let you do it the way you wanted to do it . You would say, no, i will not. I have my integrity. Yes. You wouldnt sing for nothing . Exactly. This is a really cool lady. An 81yearold woman. Elizabeth larry lair. She hangs out at an airport in texas. Look what she does. She just hugs the troops who come many one after the next. Ah. Shes giving out an estimated 530,000 hugs. That makes me crime. It really does. She says shell continue as long as god gives her the strength to do it, and as long as theyll let her come out here and do it. . Look at them lining up. Lining up for it. Oh, how sweet. You know whats sad is there arent more people welcoming them home . Their families and friends im sure at that point, but im so glad were doing our everyone has a story today. Its also in honor of our servicemen and women. Great. Yeah. Shes a sixtime grammy Award Winning singer and an actress.

Thank you for that. I think it was the character i was representing. I have to commend lifetime for being courageous and airing i should say doing a script like this because it was risky. There was a scene they wanted us to make out in church. I said, guys, i cant make out in church. Its a multipurpose room. It doesnt matter. They changed it and said, youre right, lets change it.

Theyre not going to obey. Someone will have a dress with butt crack on it. This is not my butt crack, but they say no signs. Theyll fuzz out everything. They dont want you thinking butt crack.
