kept you down, hoda woman, even working on the weekend. >> it wasn't so bad. it's not bad working on a weekend when you know it was raining. that's kind of what it was like. >> unless have you to be out on the plaza when it's raining. >> i did host "weekend today" with lester, and we had a surprise at the end of the show. i don't know if you guys saw it. it was saturday morning. you probably didn't see it. >> actually, i think it was like 7:50. >> 7:50. a little bit before 8:00. then the magic happened in the show. take a look. >> we rarely get to see you without your partner in crime, kathie lee. >> is she in the crowd? >> no, but she's on the phone. >> no, she's not. >> she is? >> hello, sunshine. >> are you joking? >> hoda woman, did you think i would be sleeping in and not notice that you're two-timing me with lester? >> they even did a new open. what was going on there? >> i bet you were thrilled waking up this morning and seeing that it was drizzling! >> i know. you know that my hair's exploding as we speak right now. >> it's growing. it's unbelievable to see. >> stop. and by the way, no wine this morning. >> no, no, no. >> speak for yourself. >> no, we got you hooked up here. >> oh, my god. that's so sad. >> you did a great job. >> a very boozy saturday morning. what was going on there? >> hoda woman. so are you going to make that a weekly thing? >> no, no, just that one day. that was just a one and done. you know what i'm saying? >> the queen was busier than you, though. >> yes. across tkros cross the pond it' there as well. it is the diamond jubilee for queen elizabeth, celebrating her 60 years on the throne. yesterday they had this huge deal, this flotilla. queen's up on a barge and all these flotillas are around her. a million people came out. they said that she didn't put on a coat even though it's kind of a heavy dress. she never sat down in those big red thrones that they had since all the people came out and they weren't sitting. she certainly wasn't going to be sitting. and you know, everyone looks very happy. it's freezing and raining, and look how happy everybody seems to be. >> you know, it's freezing and raining most of the time there anyway. so i don't think they let -- you know what? they have great sense of duty. the queen does. think about how young she was when she was crowned. the one who never looks too happy, though, is prince philip. you know? >> always looks a little cranky. >> a little on the cranky side, it looks like. so the big concert is tonight. and matt's flying out there today, right? to join? >> and elton john's going to be performing with stevie wonder and paul mccartney. it's going to be right outside buckingham palace. and it is going to be huge. >> well, england's having a huge year. as you know, the olympics are coming up in august. so a little later today if you're planning on maybe wanting to go to london during that time, we're going to give you some get-away opportunities that are not outrageously expensive. because that can add up really quickly. >> speaking of the olympics, a little bit of sad news for one of the potential gymnasts. shawn johnson was thinking about competing. she's 20 years old. a she had a skiing accident i think you guys remember, i think it was a couple of years ago. and she never quite healed right all the way from it. and she just announced over the weekend that she was retiring. >> look at that. oh, my gosh. can you imagine retiring at the age of 20? >> yeah. she said that she tried for a comeback, she wasn't going to make it, so she plans on going to college. >> good for her. >> she says she has a lot of other things she wants to do. >> she's done nothing but compete in gymnastics since she was a toddler practically, you know? we wish her all the best. that's a huge life change. >> we become so attached to the gymnasts for some reason. you get to know them. it's like a personal connect with them. >> we let sometimes what we do define who we are. and it's going to be interesting to see the human being thelma engineers that's not linked to gymnastics anymore. >> right. >> we wish her all the best. >> you guys remember her, she won all those medals. >> and "dancing with the stars." >> oh, yeah. she's on that. maybe she'll do that again. >> have they ever had anybody back? >> no, i don't think so. >> hoda, you should do that -- >> don't ruin my comments. >> imagine what you could do on "dancing with the stars." >> speaking of that, if you guys watched miss usa last night. as you know, miss rhode island won. >> olivia culpo. >> this girl is gorgeous. she's not only gorgeous -- she's the one on the right. >> rhode island! olivia culpo! >> it looked like she thought she was going to win. didn't it? >> oh, my god. >> she's one beautiful girl. so she's going to -- she looks like natalie. >> she does. she looks exactly like natalie. and she's a cellist, too. and the question she was asked. they did this thing about you could tweet in questions. hers was about is it okay for a transgender to compete in the pageant. and she gave a great answer basically saying, look, there's so much surgery going on and if that's how they feel, then she thinks it is fine. i'm kind of summarizing. >> one transgender person was allowed to compete, right? but didn't make it past -- >> yeah. >> freedom for all. >> they also did a little bit of that song we were talking about with the uh, uh, uh. the carly rae jepsen -- >> is that the only song in the world to do to stuff do? >> it's "call me maybe." ♪ hey, i just met you ♪ and this is crazy ♪ here's my number ♪ so call me maybe ♪ ♪ here's my number ♪ so call me maybe >> i think the donald's in it somewhere. >> they just showed him. >> i missed it. >> cody would call any one of them, i think. they're all such gorgeous girls. he has a very nice girlfriend. he would not call them. >> and congrats to andy cohen and giuliana rancic for hosting. >> talk about an amazing comeback story. giuliana. >> unbelievable. >> yeah. >> she was sick. she had breast cancer. she's back. >> and in full throttle. not just easing back into it. good for her. >> i went to the gym like a week or so ago and she and her husband were on two treadmills. and i swear, they were flying. you know when you look at two people and you go -- i can't believe she was just sick, she's already -- she's healing, she's getting stronger -- >> good for her. god bless. okay. speaking of that, getting stronger, some people find cigarette smoke very, very upsetting. i happen to be personally very, very allergic to it so i have a medical reason. but a lot of people just find it offensive and they don't want to breathe other people's fouled air. >> here's the story. in the social cues column of the "new york times" people often ask for advice. this couple was about to move into a town house. while they were visiting the town house they had purchased they noticed the neighbor sat outside on his porch and smoked and it was drifting into their house and they didn't know what they should do. they hadn't yet moved in. >> but they'd signed. >> but they'd signed. so they said, what should you do? should you tell them before you move in all the way, say hey, listen, your cigarette smoke is already bugging me and we haven't moved in yet? >> that's a tough one. >> they say wait till you move in. >> yeah. knock on the door, say i'm your new neighbor and by the way, put out your cigarette. >> would you say something if you lived that close to someone? >> i think first i would go to the super or whoever and say it's a problem. there might be something in the -- >> town houses. >> who knows? i just know i couldn't live there. a friend of mine had a dog that was barking all night long next to her town house and she had to go to the person and say, i can't sleep. i get up very early. and they got this thing that -- we're trying next week. i'll let you know if it works. it's not bark-off. but it's something that sprays the minute they start to bark, it sprays a little citronella or something. it doesn't hurt them in any way, but it stops them from it. >> from barking. >> so i got it in small, medium, and large. and we're going to try it next week. maybe it will be my new favorite thing. >> what's your favorite thing today? >> today, i'm not sure it is my favorite. i want to know what you guys think. i bring heavy-duty books i've read. nobody cares. every time you change your nail polish, people go what is it? a little ape crazy. this is from chanel. remember bobbie thomas told us it was the frosted ones -- it's called island. that's the color. and it's just like a very -- like a pearly -- i don't know -- oyster color. it's $26 from chanel. not sure but would love to know what you all think. what about you? >> here's mine. you know when you find a face cream that does the trick? i have oily skin so sometimes in like the t zone. but sometimes you put lotion on and it feels so oily, weighted down? >> you can fry an egg on it. >> i wouldn't say that. this is dermalogica. >> yeah. >> it is great face cream. it leaves your face feeling clean and you can breathe. it is terrific. i thought it was only $35 but now they're saying $54. >> it's active moist is the name of it. >> sara, what's your favorite thing? >> i love dermalogica, by the way. i use the pre-cleanse. and it's amazing. but in the name of beauty for our favorite things i'm doing the orbe beach spray. this is what laura uses on my hair. you can get it on amazon for about $35. but there's no salt in it so it doesn't dry out your color or your hair and it gives you a tousled look. and it smells good, too. >> doesn't it say something cute on it? >> oh, it does. actually, it says to be followed by -- "only to be followed with lipstick and heels." good sense of humor. >> we have a big event in new york. it is city meals on wheels. tonight is the big celebration. it's a non-profit. it's terrific. they end up preparing meals and things for a lot of elderly new yorkers who are homebound. there are more than 1,600 of them. >> imagine how lonely some of those folks are. not only the food but somebody coming to say hello to them. it's great. >> tonight there is a fund-raiser and all these chefs are creating dishes inspired for movies. our pastry chef mindy siegel is here. >> i made you a little meal. >> is it a tart? >> yes. because my theme tonight is waitress. >> the movie "waitress." >> i love that movie. >> i made you guys peachy keen tarts. >> do we put this on it? >> no, that's a gift for you. >> ignorant yet again about something. >> this is dairy-free. and i made it -- don't be afraid. bacon fat. >> bacon fat?
