new details tonight from the private diaries of philip seymour hoffman. according to nbc news, the 46-year-old oscar winner's private thoughts reveal that he was troubled by demons, struggled to control them with narcotics anonymous meetings and was addicted to heroin. hoffman is believed to have died from a heroin overdose after police found him with a needle in his arm february 2nd. multiple sources familiar with the contents of the diaries say the late actor's entries and i want to quote here, hard to read with scribbled lines, sentences that ran into each other implying he could have been keeping it and maintaining it as he was actually under the influence of heroin.
4:16 pm
bob forcester is a recovering addict and a counselor on celebrity rehab. let me start with this question of the demons. that could mean a lot of things. it could be a general thing or something specific. he was seeing, having been through this, anyone who suffers an addiction obviously is battling demons. but what do you think the so-called demons that an addict saw might have been? >> well, what happens is the person's priorities in life become all distorted and out of whack. so though you care about your family, you find yourself caring about drugs. and though you care about your job, you find yourself caring more about getting the money in order to get drugs. and so it just disregulates everything about the person's priorities and their personality and what's important to them. and that's what you can't see that when it's happening, you can't see what it is that's driving it. it's the drugs and your quest for them. >> and you know, it seems these
4:17 pm
diaries obviously are going to be incredibly candid and personal. and a look na his mind we don't often get. according to nbc's reporting, hoffman was almost writing in a stream of consciousness. a person named frank and a 15-year-old girl from texas. we have no idea who these people are. is this someone he met in rehab or what that might have been. what does that sound like to you? sort of what you would expect, given that it seems he was keeping this during a time he was fighting heroin? >> it seems like he had a history of recovery. so when somebody relapses, you have this ability to understand what's happening to you, but not stop it. and so there's -- a friend of mine did the same thing, a very famous musician and he started documenting his life on videotape. and in this depth that you're going through. and it's a strange narcissism that addicts are. that's what i call it, a strange
4:18 pm
narcissism because it's a self-dus protect tuv narcissism. >> it's interesting you say that. when i hear you say anning that, i'm thinking the only thing worse it would seem than being addicted would be being addicted and knowing what you were doing to yourself and not being able to stop it. that's actually worse would be having that knowledge. we know he went into rehab in 2013 and supposedly, who knows, had been clean for two decades before that. but do you think i -- what's your view on that? does that make sense that you could be clean for 20 or 23 years as i know it's reported and suddenly he could have descended into this? >> yeah, certainly. it's happening all over the united states in the recovery community because of prescription drugs mostly. it's happened to a lot of my friends. i had two friends that had 14 years and 12 years end up as you age, you end up hurting your back, snow boarding and you get a surgery and the next thing you know, you're in the situation that this man was in.
4:19 pm
it's -- they say in the 12 step world there's no worse place to be than to have a belly full of beer and a head full of aa. and that is this spot that you're finding more and more sober americans returning back to. >> bob, thank you. good to see you. >> thank you. still to come, mike rowe, famous for being the down to earth host of the show dirty jobs under fire tonight because he's supporting walmart. his fans say he sold out. he's standing aggressively firm. plus, samuel l. jackson mistaken for lawrence fish byrne during an interview? should he have been outraged or not. >> you're the entertainment reporter? you're the entertainment reporter for this station?

outraged? so the actor as we first showed you yesterday slammed los angeles tv anchor sam rubin for confusing the "robocop" star with another actor, laurence fishburne. >> did you get a lot of reaction to that super bowl commercial? >> what super bowl commercial? >> oh. you know what? my mistake. >> see, you're as crazy as the
4:24 pm
people on twitter. i'm not laurence fishburne. >> that's my fault. i know that. that was my fault. my mistake. >> we don't all look alike. all black and famous but we all don't look alike. >> i am guilty. >> busted. >> i am guilty. >> i thought you were bob dillon. >> you're the entertainment reporter? >> i know. >> you're the entertainment reporter for this station? and you don't know the difference between and laurence fishburne? >> i'm sitting here with don lemon. we're both laughing rubin later apologized and said the obvious he was hugely embarrassed. >> i pride myself on fact that unlike a lot of people who do this kind of work, more often than not i really do know what i'm talking about, but i didn't 30 minutes ago. i'm really embarrassed about it and i very much apologize to samuel l. jackson and anyone else is offended for what was a very amateur mistake. >> don lem is out front. have you been mistaken a number
4:25 pm
of times for t.j. holmes. you joked about it once on the air. >> not once. we would joke about it all the time. t.j. and i are friends. it's fine. i texted him. i was going to bring him here and have come on and pretend to be me. we'd probably have to get that approved. >> standards and practices would not be all right with that. >> he would send the text to me sometimes saying the lady in terminal b who checks tickets is going to be mad at you. she called me don and i ignored her. we would joke around. sometimes people call me -- it doesn't happen frequently now because he's not on the network. i would just say i'm don or laugh and go i'm the other black guy or say nice to meet you, my name is t.j. people all the time say to me you look just like don lemon. after a moment, i'll go i am don lemon. they'll go, no, you're not. they say he would never be on the subway or he would not fly coach.
4:26 pm
i'm like, yeah, i do all those things. >> here's the thing about this. when this happened, it was, samuel l. jackson handled it so beautifully. but a study in the american psychological association found, people are notoriously will awful at recognizing faces from other races. i have an infant at home. he spends all day having to stare at my face when i don't have hair and makeup. he's getting used to that set of features we are so used to. when someone looks as a different face structure, when blend them together. >> when someone is in our tribe. it's easiest. this is just me talking. when someone is in our tribe, it's easiest for us to tell them apart because we're used to their facial differences or the little differences or the mannerisms what have you. when someone's in a different tribe, sometimes it's harder. let's be honest. people do look alike. there are features that african-americans have that are similar. there are features that white
4:27 pm
people have that are similar, so if you're not used to seeing that -- last time i was in a restaurant. i was asking him for food. he said i don't really eat meat. i said are you from india? he goes close. i started thinking about it, and i said bangladesh. he said good, yes. we try to figure it out. people look similar. >> well, it's true. you can say, i know, having asian friends they all know every single distinction, and sometimes it takes you awhile to get to say this might indicate you're from here versus there. >> it's not about race. you go to brooklyn. everybody's got a beard and plaid shirt. they may be able to tell each other part but they all look alike to me. i go to certain bars. that's the reason they say there are chelsea gays, two areas in new york, predominantly gay. they all have the same haircut, the same look. they all go to the same gym. you're like are you chad or steve? i don't know. you guys kind of all look the
4:28 pm
same. >> that is funny. i've got to show you one picture before we go just because a lot of people think that -- i'm saying this goes both ways. i showed you and t.j. so -- yep. >> emily deschanel. a lot of people go those two women look exactly the same, two white women with blue eyes. >> you're both beautiful women. if someone mistakes me for t.j. holmes, i could do worse. can i say something quickly, i know you have to go here. samuel l. jackson, that may have come from a wound that's been opened over and over again because of black actors in hollywood are always looking to be recognized. he's made over 70 movies. tyler perry movie is still in the other category. someone over 70 movies, you should probably know his name by now. >> he showed he was angry but did it with humor on the fly.
4:29 pm
i thought it was, you know -- >> he an aapologized. move on. sam is a great reporter. >> i appreciate it. good to see you. >> good to see you, mr. holmes, as well. >> thanks. outfront" next. a rare event at the white house tonight. a state dinner in honor of the french president. you just saw the first lady in an absolutely gorgeous gown, long and flowing, what i would call a french slate blue, but it's a party that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. is it necessary? and the white man charged with shooting a black teenager takes the stand and testifies on why he opened fire. d. most people don't even know it. fraud could mean lower credit scores... ...and higher interest rates when you apply for a credit card. it's a problem waiting to happen. check your credit score, check your credit report, at experian.com. america's number one provider of online credit reports and scores. don't take chances. go to experian.com.

4:33 pm
tonight, an evening of pomp and circumstance at the white house. president obama and the first lady hosting a rare state dinner for french president fan swau hollande. this happened moments ago during our program at the top. hollande coming up for the formal portrait with the president and the first lady who is wearing carolina herrera. we can now report, an absolutely gorgeous gown. this is the first state dinner in almost two years. a very big deal. guest arriving include bradley cooper and julia louis-dreyfus. we just caught a glimpse of michelle obama's gown as you can see. it's long and flowy. it's sort of got a little pintuck thing at the back. i've got a guy who can talk more about it and lace and her hair
4:34 pm
goes perfectly. she got it all right this time. he's going to tell you. for more on the pageantry and diplomacy of the night, sayly quinn, the authority of the party. and creative directoroff elle magazine joe z. sally, you were the guest i wanted for this segment. you've been covering state dinners to are years. people say what is the point? we go through the pen knew and all the fanciness of it. it is important, right? >> well, the point of this state dinner is syria, syria, syria. and when people talk about these dinners being frivolous or they cost too much, $600,000 if that's what the this dinner costs is nothing when you talk about it in terms of pr and in terms of our being able to reach out to an ally like france who is incredibly important to us as we have seen.
4:35 pm
france has stood by us in syria and other places around the middle east. you can't buy that kind of publicity. and you can't buy that kind you have good will. and by doing this, we're not -- we're not just honoring it hollande. we're also honoring the french people. we're saying, actually, we're sorry that we kind of hung you out to dry when you said you were going to back us when we agreed to use force if the syrians didn't back down. and get rid of their chemical weapons. and we're also saying, woo he want you to be on our side and we want you to stick with us if we have to go into syria. so i mean, when you look at a dinner like this, you see michelle obama in this gorgeous dress and this fabulous -- but it's all about honoring the guests. and you know, people it has been said that wars have been started over wrong seating at state dinners. it can be a treacherous thing. you have to have nerves of steel to be a white house social
4:36 pm
secretary. >> i can't imagine how difficult that job would be. but you know, to the whole point, by the way, when people out there say the british, for example, weren't with us. the french when it comes to al qaeda and things are the stalwart friends. we've got to do whatever it takes at this point. let's talk, joe, about the pomp and circumstance of this. part of the way you honor is the way you dress and the way things happen. let's talk about her dress. >> what do you think about it and what do you think about our choice of designers, not a designer with french links as some thought? >> no, this is quite interesting. tonight's state dinner is significant for two reasons. listen, we're very obsessed with everything flotus wears. the french president came stag. the spotlight was on michele. >> there was no second dress. you're right. >> she was not sharing the spotlight. she was it. i this i we were expecting her to wear potentially an american-french designer that had a link back to tonight's state dinner but she chose carolina herrera, of spanish descent. she's an incredible evening wear designer but i don't think
4:37 pm
that's the one we thought she would be wearing tonight. >> tell us more about your view of the style, how she looks in it, and as we talk about sally mentioned the cost of the dinner, what does a dress like that cost? >> well, first of all, i love the dress on her because i think it's so elegant and simple. that is the princess shape. it's got that sort of pouf at the bottom but very billowy at the same time. it's strapless. we want to call ta french blue maybe. >> i was calling it french slate blue but definitely. >> some people might call it periwinkle with the jet bodice. a dress like that could potentially run up to almost $10,000. >> wow. but she doesn't pay for it, or does she? >> not even close. >> sally, what about the cost of the overall dinner? cbs news is reporting it could be -- i'm sorry, they said the first dinner with india could be $600,000. where do you think tonight's dinner ranks? i heard the dinner with i understandia cost $600,000 because of $400 bottles of wine. i thought if you were going to do $400 bottles of wine you
4:38 pm
should have waited for the president of france. >> well, by the way, i think that dress probably cost around $12,000. but that's just my guess. >> i bet that's an informed guess. okay. thank you. >> but in terms of the expense of this dinner, first of all, it's larger than most of the state dinners they've had. so it will be more expensive. they probably are cutting down on the price of wine because they were getting criticized. and i this i that the obamas have entertained less, have had fewer state dinners than most presidents because they don't particularly like to entertain. and they keep to themselves a lot. but also, because of the economy. i mean, you know, when people are starving and don't have jobs, it doesn't look good to spend too much money. i think the economy is up enough now and it's important for us to entertain the french. so i think this is -- it's worth every penny. >> before we go quickly, joe, we
4:39 pm
have a few pictures of other dresses she's worn at other state dinners. where does this one rank? given that you probably have them rated in your mind. >> this one is more grand than some in the past. i did like the red. but she got a lot of flack for that one back when she was doing the state dinner for china. i think this is a much more grand dress but also very subdued at the same time. >> that's absolutely -- i love it. i'm not a fashion person. >> i love it, too. i'm with you. >> you made me feel like my taste was all right. >> i validate you. >> thanks so much to both of you. the shooter in the so-called loud music trial has taken the stand. police say michael dunne shoten an killed jordan davis, 17 years owed, a black teenager and apparently the reason was that he was playing loud misk out of his car at a gas station. he explained to the jury this why he fired into the suv full of teenagers. we want to warn you some of the language you are about to hear in this testimony could be offensive.
4:40 pm
>> i hear i should kill that mother [ bleep ]. and i'm flabbergasted and then even morel straighted voice i hear i should [ bleep ] kill that mother [ bleep ]. now he's screaming. i saw sticking above like the window sill about four inches of a barrel. after he opened the door, then he looked at me and said you're dead, bitch. i say over here is my glove box. i'm looking out the window. and they said you're not going to kill me you son of a bitch, and i shot. i had no choice but to defend myself. it was life or death. >> our martin savidge is out front no jacksonville tonight. the state had a chance to cro examine. we just played part of the testimony there. how did it go overall? >> very contention cross-examination. johnian guy for the prosecution, immediately the prosecution
4:41 pm
challenging this in any way was self-defense. they claim what will really happened was michael dunne was angry because a teenager, especially a black teenager, had mouthed off against him. michael dunne said that's not the case. then the prosecution said, well, how come you didn't tell the love of your life, your fiancee these teenagers had a gun? dunne said he was pretty sure that he did. then the prosecution came back and said, after the shooting, why didn't you call police? and that's when michael dunne said, well, i didn't think i hit anybody. two, i was in the wrong state of mind. he went to his hotel, no gun was found in the suv. then the next morning they said when you knew a teenager had died, why didn't you call the police then? and that's when dunne said that, well, he tried to reach out to a friend in law enforcement. well, that's when the prosecution produced phone records that showed he called nobody. then they called his fiancee and put it to her. did he tell you about those teens having a gun? listen to this. >> also on november 23rd, 2012,
4:42 pm
after the shooting, when you came out of the gate gas station and got into the defendant's car. >> yes. >> did the defendant ever tell you he saw a gun in that red suv? >> no. >> did the defendant ever tell you that he saw a weapon of any kind in that suv? >> no. >> there was no mention of a stick? >> no. >> there was no mention of a shotgun? >> no. >> there was no mention of a barrel? >> no. >> there was no mention of a lead pipe? >> no. >> if there was ever an ah-ha moment in the case, that might just have been it. the defense and state have now rested. tomorrow morning we expect the closing arguments and the jury may get this tomorrow afternoon, aaron. >> and martin, thank you very much. still to come, a popular tv host under major fire for supporting walmart in a major way. is he a corporate sellout? plus paula deen, is she on the verge of a comeback? irt he'll c.

4:52 pm
this economy around or to be responsible for every single person that works for them. their number one priority are their customers. >> they're not responsible for every worker? >> showing up which they do 60% of americans, mark, shop at walmart and they shop there for a reason. it's because cheaper prices and stores that as far as i'm concerned look like a hurricane ran through them are more important than supporting a store that has better policies towards their employees. we have a free market system in this country for a reason. >> walmart is anything but free. so much deregulation attached to it it makes it easy for them to shut down the mom and pops. to say that walmart doesn't have responsibility for all of it workers is actually unamerican. >> mark what about the issue of mike rowe? is had a sellout, the guy that does "dirty jobs" for saying i work for one of these flip-flop factories, a fishing tackle factory and it's helping me.
