Good morning, claudio. Reporter good morning, natalie. Even the elements seem to be reacting to his shocking news. Theres a storm raging over vatican city just behind me now. It took everybody by surprise, this announcement this morning. It even took by surprise his closest aides, his spokesperson, lombardi, saying in a press conference that he didnt even know about it, and if he didnt know about it, then who would . Well, maybe just the closest cardinals he confessed it to. The cardinals, more than 120 now. Certainly he made his announcement as if it was a lowkey decision. He did that during a fairly small cardinals gathering here in the vatican and he just said, look, i just dont have the strength anymore to carry on my duties. You need both body and mind to carry on the very important duties of the pope and the leader of the billion Catholic Church and he just doesnt have the strength anymore. Claudio lavagne reporting outside vatican city. Thank you very much. Hoping that a 1 million reward will lead to new clues for the search of former cop christopher dorner, suspected of killing a Police Officer and a couple engaged to be married. In Surveillance Video obtained by nbc news, sources say dorner dumped a gun belt, helmet, Police Uniform and ammunition the morning after the first two murders last weekend. His trial went his trail, rather, went cold in the mountains three miles outside of los angeles. It could be at least two days before a Carnival Cruise ship stranded in the gulf of mexico is towed to the nearest port. The carnival triumph lost power after an engine room fire. Nobody was hurt. The ship is relying on a backup generator. The ship left galveston, texas, thursday with more than 4,000 passengers and crew on board. And damage is still being assessed after a huge tornado swept through hattiesburg, mississippi, sunday. A wave of severe storms downed trees and injured more than 12 people across that state. Skiing champion lindsey vonn is recovering this morning after undergoing surgery on her right knee to repair two shredded ligaments.

Even a blizzard couldnt keep moviegoers away from a good comedy. Identity thief, Jason Bateman and Melissa Mccarthy debuted took top honors and warm bodies, zombie romance. New genre. I know. Side effects opened in third. Rom zombies. At least theyre date noug not eating each other. They need romance, too. They do. Natalie, thanks. How about a quick check of the weather . Unfortunately weve got another system to talk about, already pounding the northeast. Down south, the same system that caused the tornadoes down south is firing up again, rachl amounts anywhere from three to six inches of rain. To the north, weve got more icy conditions making their way to the northeast, bringing sleet and freezing rain to boston, providence and everywhere in between.

Wish to make it up to and thats your latest weather. Good, more weather. Thanks a lot, al. Abby huntsman, host for huff post live and daughter, by the way, of former president ial candidate. Good to have you here. Striking similarities. Good to be here. I covered you and your Fathers Campaign quite a bit. This was a year ago. Yeah. Have you kind of stopped to think about what that was like and what it meant to you and your family . Did you like being in the public eye that way . You know, it was an experience well never forget, traveling the country and just seeing democracy at its best. There are some emotional times, though, where you just pondering back, you know, there are some tough moments. But its something that, as a family, we got we became so close. And my dad is doing better than ever, you know. And some would say its a bit of a blessing. No regrets, obviously. You cant look back and say what if. A lot of people say, he could have been the one to actually be the president. Thats not how we look at t it was an incredible experience for our hole family and are grateful for the opportunity. There are still some people in the country that would like to see your dad take another crack at it. Im sure youll see more of him in the next little while. He has always been the first to say i want to serve my country and help out the party wherever i can. The party has some issues and needs some help and some vision. Hes thinking about maybe running again . I dont know. Nice try. Nice try. Well see a lot more of him. Get a little bit of a break. Hes still happily married and thats not what you can always say about politics. Well leave it there for you. Take one, big night at the grammys. Good night for indy fans. Black keys. Gauthier, mumford sons. A lot of them performed, too. Won album of the year. Thats fun. Thats fun right there. Banjo. All about the banjo. Foot stomping. The lot of talk, though, besides the winners was about this dress code, right . Yes, the memo. What you could and could not wear. What cbs put out. Whats the puffy skin . Exactly. What does that mean . This was just a case where it was leaked, the memo is sent out every year. Interesting. I didnt know that. You saw a lot of the musicians wore scandalous dresses. But the usual. The the usual. A lot of cleavage, a lot of side boob. Thats another category. Its a category now. The memo said no side boob. Beyonce. Very buttoned up. Did you like it . Very nice, black and white. No puffiness there. Rihanna . Red dress is absolutely stunning. As you can see, some people say it was a little you can see a Little Something there. Its a little see through. Little bit see through. I thought she was a little more covered up. The guys had no problem with that. Willie geist has been studying it. Im just looking at it before i comment. She had three dresses, i believe. She wore a very conservative black dress when she was singing up on stage. Then j. Los dress. She actually early on addressed the memo. Here was her, about to give an award. As you can see, i read the mem memo. You look gorgeous. There you go. Angelina had it going on. The embarrassing thing, matt wore that this weekend. Didnt look that good, though. Casual wear around the house. Leg has become the new thing, right . Got to show the leg. Other moments that went viral, Kelly ClarksonPhoto Bombing ellen and portia de rossi. Performing on stage and sort of butterflies came flying out of her dress. Pretty. I thought it was cool. I wondered if i was half asleep or not. Hallucinating a little bit. Did you have a favorite performance . Elton john and ed shearing. Right. Great number. Alicia keys and Avril Levigne from maroon five. Theyve been around ten, 15 years. Now they can finally get out there and be hrd herd. Once you win a grammy, are you now still an indy band . I dont know. Im thinking underground. Take two, Melissa Mccarthy getting the last laugh. Fans of the actress are rallying to her defense after film critic rex reed called her, to his terms, tractor size and a female hippo, very wellknown commentator on film. He hasnt been relevant since superman one. The 70s called. Youre welcome to go back. He still has a column, writes for the new York Observer talking about her new film identity thief. Which one as we said ro sweet redemption for her. And it would have been better, had it not been for the snow storm. She got the last laugh. Basically he said Melissa Mccarthy has made a career by being obese and obnoxious. He has made a career being small minded and an idiot. Hurtful, offensive and masogenistic. But also unprofessional. Evaluate the movie and not not comment about someones size. We see it in the world of politics. With chris christie. You dont have to like him. You can disagree with his politics. We see media figures, politicians making fat jokes about him. He is governing right now. Its not as if hes not in good enough shape to be governor. Shes entertaining us. We enjoy watching her. Who are we to judge what she looks like or what she eats . People voted with their pocketbook. By the way, shes hilarious. Justin bieber was across the street at snl over the weekend, host and musical address and addre guest and addressing head on what you might call scandal about him smoking marijuana. I hear he still has his baby teeth. I also heard he got busted for smoking weed and hes really sorry about it and that people make mistakes and hes never going to do it again. Yeah, right. Me, too okay. That qualifies as an apology . An explanation perhaps. Pretty good, though. Its hard to see someone at the pinnacle of their career stumble like this. But its how they handle it. I think he did a good job addressing it head on. And adding humor, if you can laugh at yourself its always the way to do it. Abby huntsman, glad to have you here. Thank you. Huntsman in 2016.
