An artist you need to know, and hes going to perform live for us. Hes a huge youtube star, by the way. We cant wait. Its ambush makeover thursday. Our glam squad hit the plaza. Two retired teachers who wanted fresh new looks for the spring. Well get to see how they look later on. And then alex is in the kitchen. Oh, yes. Actress laura from orange is the new black. Youre cooking for us . Oh, yeah. I have something really special for you. I cant wait. Youre multitalented. I try, i try. Actress, chef, you can do it all. Thank you. Well talk about that in a little bit. We have big congratulations to a guy who is a friend of our show and is so much fun. Charlie walk is the president of the Republic Records group, everybody, anyway, we had a little dindin for him to celebrate his presidency. Hes the guy im strangling. Thats charlie. Thats Haley Seinfeld next to him and elvis and rosanna and a there. Congrats to you, charlie. I know you had a fun light. Walked in and said shouldnt have done it. Someone said a skinny margarita is tequila with just lime on the rocks. Yes. And when you sip them, theyre tasty and delicious and youre not i actually think tequila with soda, lime, just a little bit, in moderation just a little. Do you moderate . I moderate. Tell the truth. I like to get there. Thats my thing. I dont have time to be lingering over wine, okay. I like to arrive morning. At 10 00 in the morning you can linger. Speaking of good tequila, george clooney. There was big news, sat down with the bbc and said he plans to quit film acting very soon. This was shocking to us. Why on earth the biggest star in the world. Ever quit. This is the reason. On screen. He says the camera can be unforgiving and most film goers older. When we first heard those two comments, we were both shocked. Clooney seems like one of those aging. He just seems like hell go with ing process. He talked to the bbc and thats what he said. When you think about the way you look, because that has to do with appearances, obviously, do you ever care . I dont. I know you dont. When i say tell the truth, we really dont, which i think sometimes we should a little more. How many times have we heard someone say your spanx are out . With you . And still, day after day how many times has joanne said close your legs because im sitting like this. I think that theres a sense of doing what you love and not worrying about the repercussions i think some people arent that selfaware. Im not paying attention to i dont feel im paying attention to me while im sitting here. I think some people are conscious of how they sit, how they look. He said hes trying to pick up films that work best for him but as he gets older there are fewer parts available. Thats maybe true. Thats ageism in life and work, period, so you want to fight and keep acting so there are better parts. He says he likes directing, thats his great love. Hell be doing more of that. Hes only 54. And, by the way wait, hes quitting now at 54 . And, by the way, hes hot. We had a picture of him without his shirt on, it would encourage him. By the way, hes quintessential hollywood. Very few people do you look at and say thats hollywood class and glamour and all those things. One of the things they talk about that he could do is become a politician because hes really political. About that is thats a job that will age you. You know what i mean . So if he goes into that, hes going to look old. In front of everybody. In front of all of us. Very old. All right. We know his film hail caeser didnt do so well. We dont want to put salt in the wound. Talking about a picture of a man with his shirt off. If you like Orlando Bloom do you . I do. Like everybody. Some do, some dont. Anyway, katy perry and Orlando Bloom, here they are. Theyre a couple. We dont want to see that. Thats a waste of our time. Go straight for hello, orlando. Orlando looks like hes sucking it in a little. No. Yes, he does. Yes, he does. Yes, he is. He knows theres a camera and hes doing an extra when you walk up a hill and you have to squeeze your butt cheeks to get the extra workout, you squeeze it all in. Talking about selfaware, suck listen, if thats what he looks like when he sucks in, im okay with that. We all do that. So theyre dating. Theyre a couple. Katy perry, we saw her with, whats his name . There was more about personality than looks. I think shes unique and interesting. I like her. Anyway. Next. I love when we talk about people we dont even know at all. Good match. Lets let them get married. Heres what we think. We think theyre a good match. We never met them. Tina fey was at the oscars. You know how when you are watching the oscars, we talked about you how the ratings were low and people were trying to figure out why they were low. Some said there was that white only thing at the oscars. Some people said it was because nobody knew what the movies were. Some people said there wasnt a lot of star power. And some people like my husband said because it got boring in the middle. It was slow. Honey, are you still here is what tina fey thinks one of the problems is. She thinks an oscar acceptance speeches people are trying to send a message. And she talked to howard stern and said halfway through the oscars, quote, this is some real hollywood bleep. Why are you yelling to me about corporate greed and some of the other things that people were upset about. I actually love this. I do think the people watching at home who have like two little kids and crap all over their house and trying to make ends meet and im not saying thats me, but were in our pajamas and theres crap spilled down the front of it. Theyre so beautiful and out of reach. And then theyre yelling about something, youre like, what does this have to do with the fact youre a good actor . Sometimes you want to be entertained. Sometimes you just want to be entertained. I know they see it as a big platform, you have so many viewers and this is my time and if i say it now, it will resonate. I think that makes a difference in some ways. When it becomes too much, what messages, right . I totally agree. Okay. Ive been dreaming about this song for the last three days.

Hoda knows how to get what she wants. There is no reason it cant be you. We brought in some experts to teach us the top five habits of highly persuasive people. A reporter at forbes which recently examined this topic. Go ahead. A clinical psychologist. Hi, guys. Hi. Before we get to the different points, what overall, did you learn about people who are highly persuasive . Well, theyre confident. They believe. And they want to bring other people over to their side. All right. So theyve got some some people have that certain thing. Different habits. The first is you say youve got to know who youre talking to. What does that mean . Absolutely. This is going to be really important when youre outside the office, youre at a client meeting or industry event. Its also important for your team. You want to know your audience. Get to know peoples talents and motivations. Its going to make it that much easier for you to persuade them to what you think. And you say you can do some can also read people. Absolutely.

You want to be subtle but not a door mat. What i think here, this is one where an inperson interaction is your best bet. Dont email, dont call. If you have the opportunity, walk across the office and talk to somebody and make sure you get that facetoface. And i also like that you say, ben, be genuine. If youre authentic, thats whats most important. Of course. And most people with spot a phony a mile away. And you really want to be interacting with people that are genuine. And thats the way most exchanges happen. So thats a good way to be assertive, but not aggressive that may be my favorite point. You can follow these tips, but quite frankly, if youre not being who you are, if youre trying to remember things, people can sniff it out. Body language is very important if we were standing like this right now with you, you would know we are not open to you, right . So if we go like this were open. Not that open. Different segment. Whats a good body language to you . This is all great advice, like, for a meeting, where you want to be
