right now on "showbiz tonight," tonight jon gosselin says, stop the divorce? but, wait, didn't he say he despises kate? what about all his apparent womanizing? now jon feels bad? is it because he got fired from "jon and kate"? sorry, jon, tonight "showbiz tonight" says, you blew it. big news breaking. brand-new blockbuster mackenzie phillips revelations about her sexual relationship with her famous father. just a short time ago tonight, mackenzie says her dad, john

phillips, paid for her abortion. >> he paid for it. and i never, ever let him touch me again. >> plus, why mackenzie's own half sister doesn't believe her story. and the brand-new all-out hollywood war over roman polanski. tonight, the stars are divided and speaking out to "showbiz tonight." tv's first most provocative entertainment news show starts right now. hello. i'm a.j. hammer broadcasting tonight and every night from new york city. and right now, "showbiz tonight's" going out on a little bit of a limb here. we are thinking, jon gosselin is just kicking himself right now as we speak. so, tonight, we've got one thing to say to you, jon, you blew it. first, jon essentially got canned from his tlc hit show,

"jon & kate plus 8," and now this blockbuster. is jon really calling for a truce and ending a bitter battle with his ex, kate? tonight, "showbiz tonight" can tell you, it looks like jon is eating his hateful words and backpedaling in a big way. in fact, he has now reportedly filed for a delay in the divorce that rocked hollywood. but why now? well, i've got a few guesses, but no matter how you slice it, this explosive new chapter in the jon and kate saga has led to big news breaking today. >> reporter: it's the jon gosselin peace plan. within hours of finding out tlc was basically firing him from the show, jon launched into full peacekeeping mode, reportedly filing a court document to suspend his divorce from kate for 90 days so they can get on better terms. not only that, jon's apologizing out the wazoo. he dropped this brand-new bombshell in an exclusive interview with "in touch" magazine, saying, i regret my conduct since kate and i

separated. i used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon. and his lawyer backed him up saying, he woke up one morning, looked into the mirror and didn't like the reflection. he realized he had made some bad choices. yeah, some pretty big bad choices. right after announcing their split, jon started living the bachelor lifestyle big time. vegas parties, women galore, and a slew of incriminating photos and stories that wound up on the covers of magazines around the world. so now jon says he's going to change his ways by postponing their divorce for 90 days. he tells "in touch" magazine, this will enable kate and me to restore our relationship as cooperative parents and to open up our lines of communication. i hope that she will be as receptive and as enthusiastic as i am to do what is best for our family. but you know what "showbiz tonight" has to say about that? too late, jonny, you blew it.

>> jon has now put a 90-day halt on the divorce proceedings, saying he wants to open the lines of communication, work on co-parenting, and that he regrets stepping out in public with other women so soon after they split. just this morning, the women of "the view" were not buying jon gosselin's overtures of peace. >> is this the same man who did an interview with chris cuomo and said "i detest that woman"? >> oh, yes, barbara, it is. just three weeks ago, jon's went on abc's prime-time and dropped this whopper. >> i can't sit next to someone right now that i despise. >> despise? >> i despise because she's not speaking from the heart. >> and that wasn't all he said. >> i don't trust her anymore. i was abused. i'm not going back to that lifestyle. i got married at 23, had twins at 23, had quintuplets at 27, bye-bye, 20s.

>> reporter: but jon's lawyer said jon had a sudden revelation. he tells "in touch" magazine, jon acknowledges that he too used poor judgment by abusing his newfound freedom after ten years of marriage, engaging with public displays of other women and stating in a public television interview that he despised his wife. and let's face it, the timing is suspicious. jon extended the olive branch the same day he got the boot from "jon & kate plus 8". >> the timing is totally suspicious. he's been running around, acting like a playboy. but now, all of a sudden, when he's losing out on lucrative reality television money, he's saying, hey, let's try to make this work. >> reporter: "showbiz tonight" reached out to kate gosselin to reaction for her soon-to-be-exes olive branch. so far, stony silent. but kate might accept jon's overture. he said in september, call me crazy, but down deep i still

have this hope that one morning the phone will ring and it will be him, back to normal just saying, hey, how are you? or even, okay, that was really reader, aliens overtook me, but now i'm back. so will kate take jon back? >> i think it's absolutely too little, too late for jon gosselin to say, oh, my gosh, i misjudged the situation. i've been acting like a jerk. >> what do you think? will it be forgive and forget, or is jon's brand-new apology tour just too little, too late? joining me in new york, ben whitcombe. from hollywood tonight, kim serafin. a senior editor if "in touch" we weekly. it is on newsstands right now. jon gosselin is trying to mend his tarnished image and broken relationship with kate. he's saying, i made some bad decisions. kim, let me start with you. it's your magazine that got the interview. do you think that now he's been kicked off the show that made him famous, that it's just suddenly dawning on him that he

blew it? >> you know, i have to say, in his defense and in kate's defense, they obviously have had cameras that follow them around, tmz is right there to stick a mike in their face at any point. and if i had someone following me around, anytime i got upset with someone, anytime i got annoyed with someone, i would probably say somethings i regret to. and then if it was slashed on tv and on the covers of magazines, might have some regrets as well. having said that, it's not been that long. in those past two months, he's gotten in every cliche possible for someone on the rebound. he parties in vegas, got a bachelor bad in new york city, dates younger women, already had the hair plugs. there's really not much else for him to do that's left that sort of -- that he can react out against. but i think, obviously, he is regretting some things and we'll have to see what happens next. he does seem like he is a apologizing. he seems like he's regretting what he's doing. we'll have to see how that plays out. >> and i couldn't agree with you more about the pressure you've

got to feel when you have the cameras in your face and saying these things off the cuff. but i go back to the abc interview he did with chris cuomo where he had plenty of times to think about all the things he said, including that he despises kate. and this morning on "the view," whoopi goldberg kind of summed it up, not holding back at all. >> he wants to open the lines of communication, work on co-parenting and that he regrets stepping out in public with other women so soon after they split. ha-ha! >> i watch that and i'm thinking, whoopi's laugh says it all. when you think about it, ben, the way jon has acted over the past two months, are we really expected to think jon is just now regretting his actions? >> this is one of the funniest public relations epiphanies i've seen in a long time. jon has been digging himself into a hole for months and now we have this tiny voice coming from the bottom of the mine

shaft going, do you think i blew it? yeah, john, you totally blew it. too little, too late. and nobody believed him. by the way, the divorce is not off, it's still on. i don't know what he hopes to achieve in this 90-day hiatus. >> a hiatus on a divorce proceeding. it is all very strange. we've seen what's gone on with jon since they announced the split. he very publicly flaunted his relationship with hailey, the 22-year-old daughter of kate's plastic surgeon. jon even admitted in that interview with abc's prime-time, he loved hailey more than he's ever loved kate. and now jon's telling "in touch" that he realizes his public love affair was unfair to kate. he said, i regret my conduct since kate and i separated. i used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon. let's not forget, it wasn't all that long ago, as i mentioned, jon says he despises kate. kim, reeling it back in for a moment, i'm just shocked that he changed his tune so radically.

are you at all with me on that? >> i think, for sure. we were just hearing him say in that interview that you just mentioned, i mean, that just happened. but, again, kate was saying things too and i have to say, if they are exposed to this media, people are willing to give them a microphone. people are willing to ask them to say things, they probably will say things that they regret. that's why people often put something out on twitter and then delete the twitter message. because you have this access to let the world know how you feel. i'm not saying that's defendable. especially because they have kids that will one day read all about this and see all about this and they've been really criticized for it, but i think that's one excuse or explanation, i think, that they have. >> it's all just very mysterious and the timing, he's just been kicked off his show, pretty suspect to me. kim serafin, ben whitcombe. >> it does help ratings. >> let's turn it over to you. here's our "showbiz tonight" question of the day, jon gosselin, did he deserve to be fired from "jon & kate"? here's where you vote,

cnn.com/showbiztonight, here's where you e-mail, showbiztonight@cnn.com. let me tell you the stars, they are taking sides, lines in the sand are being drawn. there's a brand-new all-out war over roman polanski. >> what makes me worried is what does that mean for other 12-year-old or 13-year-old girls who are being drugged or seduced? >> lisa kudrow, just fired up. who is defending roman? the stars are speaking out to "showbiz tonight" tonight. also, just today, john travolta's brand-new revelations about how he was allegedly shaken down for $25 million just after his son, jett, died. you've got to hear john's emotional words. and did you see this? when it comes to stars, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. what is with all these falling stars? i mean, literally, why are they tall tripping up? this is "showbiz tonight" on

you've got that gut, you've got to squeeze them together, sir. >> reporter: even squeezing them together wouldn't have saved him from almost dropping his partner. >> how much did that girl weigh? >> the real culprit may have been delay's previously injured foot. the foot of conan o'brien are what may have been got him in trouble. racing with "desperate housewives" star teri hatcher. >> are you okay? >> oh, yeah. >> no, he wasn't. he had a concussion. >> let's see a low-motion replay of what happened right there. shall we, please. i believe i won. >> no wonder his memory was foggy when they took him to the hospital. >> one of the neurological questions was, how many nickels in $1.35. >> reporter: that would be 27, conan. >> you were that close to being back on at 11:30. >> reporter: and this guy was this close to getting stomped by a bull at a riding competition

decades-old underage sex case. it all started at the zurich film festival where polanski was supposed to be honored for his work. instead, star there is rallied around him. >> we hope today this latest order will be drop ped. it is based on a three decade old case that's all but dead except for a minor technicality. >> but today, brand-new outrage coming from some of the biggest stars in hollywood. hln's joy behar summing up all the outrage just this morning on "the view," taking on polanski's supporters, including actress debora winger. >> i don't think if row milan polanski was a plumber, she would be going out and supporting him. >> joining me tonight, howard bragman, the author of a fine book, "where's my 15 minutes." and also from hollywood, leslie marshall, host of the leslie marshall radio show. now, i want you guys to hear exactly what joy behar said this morning on "the view" about all the stars who have been

supporting polanski since his arrest. and i've got to tell you, joy pulling no punches here. roll that out. >> debora winger backing him up a. i don't think if roman polanski was a plumber would be supporting him. and half the people on this list would not be supporting a person who molested a child 30 years ago. >> and the list she's referring to is a petition that's been going around hollywood. hord bragman, you're right there in the thick of it in hollywood. i have a hard time arguing with joy's logic. do you think she's making a good point? >> i think you have to understand what this case is about, a.j. it's not about what this man did 30 years ago, which nobody applauds, everyone condemns. it's about a miscarriage of justice. now that here we are, 30 years later, and we're in a state that is broke. we are talking about 40,000 people being released from the california jails by an order of the court. we have a limited amount of money. there's kids being shot every day in south central l.a. that we do nothing about.

and this is about political grandstanding by the district attorney and the justice system for their own ends. and that's what this case is really about, a.j.. >> yeah, but, leslie, let me ask you this, when you hear stars rallying around, crying, "free roman polanski, let him go," how can they separate themselves from these charges that he raped this 13-year-old girl? i don't understand, even if it's not what the case is all about, how they can distinguish themselves from that. >> i don't get this. okay? this guy is a fugitive. this guy has a warrant for his arrest. this guy raped, admits, a 13-year-old child who was not mentally or emotionally prepared to have any kind of sexual relationship and the law states that it's statutory rape, period. there's not a question of consent. i don't care how much in debt the united states is. what do we tell a 13-year-old child victim looking back years ago, what do we tell that person

today? i'm sorry, it's just too expensive to prosecute. sorry a child who was ruined, your virginity was broken and probably relationships with men for your life was screwed up, sorry, it's too expensive. that's wrong. i don't understand what's wrong with hollywood, i don't understand what's wrong with anybody defending this man. you don't need to be a parent. and i was a 13-year-old girl. a 13-year-old girl is a child. he raped a child. he is a rapist and he belongs in jail. >> well, there's no question about it. it's a very complex story. we're hearing about it from all sides. there's a brand-new interview today with the sister of roman polanski's late wife that was actress sharon tate. and the sister spoke out in defense of roman. you'll remember, sharon tate was murdered by the followers of charles manson. that's all the way back in 1969. watch what her sister, debora tate, had to say all about of this. >> there's, as i said, rape, and then there's rape. it was determined that roman did not forcibly have sex with this

young woman. it was a consensual matter. i am a victims' advocate and i know the difference. >> i've got to be honest with you, i'm confused by her comments, but howard, do you think that debora tate there is speaking for a lot of hollywood stars were out there defending roman today, even putting their names on that petition to have him free? >> i'm not sitting here, arguing. i think a lot of people aren't arguing about the righteousness of what he did. it was wrong, what he did, a.j. but the truth is, you know, getting back to leslie's comment, we do make decisions all the time in the justice system. justice is not black or white, it's gray, about who to prosecute. who is the greater threat to society and we're looking at a man that is no threat to society. and while, indeed, he made a mistake more than three decades ago, he lived an exemplary life and he's lived a good life. and that's really what it's about, is politicizing this decision and the grandstanding that's going on here. nobody's defending his actions.

>> well, there are a lot of stars who are on the other side of the roman war today. "showbiz tonight" was right there at the rock event last night that happened in los angeles. we're out there on the red carpet, lisa kudrow was among those who didn't mince words. watch lisa. >> a 13-year-old girl is a 13-year-old girl. you know. what makes me worried is what does that mean for other 12-year-old or 13-year-old girls who are being drugged or seduced? >> back to your point, leslie. on the one hand, we have stars like lisa speaking out against roman. on the other hand, we have big-name stars like martin scorsese, woody alan, putting their names on the line, signing a petition to have roman freed. whatever the reason may be behind why they want him freed, it still does come back to what he originally did. and howard, i hear everything that you're saying here, but leslie, are you surprised more stars are not taking a stand against this guy?

because, obviously, this story is now bubbled up to the surface and everybody's talking about it. >> yes, and like joy said, if he were a plumber, would these stars be coming out? oh, it's because he's talented and a famed director. howard, like you said, he's had a great life, but it's time for that great life to stop and him to face the music and him be incarcerated for what he did. lisa kudrow said, what kind of a message are we sending? i commend her for that. only one in ten rapes is reported in the united states of america, whether you're 13, 16, or 70. and we'll have less and less young girls, women coming forward when they've been raped, because they're going to say, there is no justice for the victims and that's what i think this will be about if roman polanski is not held responsible for the guilt that he's admitted to. >> no surprise, this hollywood war has caught the attention of "showbiz tonight" viewers. all day today, our showbiz on call phone lines have been raging over this. here's a call i want to play. it's richelle in arizona who says, at the end of the day, the

law is the law, hollywood or not. >> caller: i think hollywood is supporting someone who has done great film work. do i believe in forgiveness, of course i do? his victim has. but it doesn't change the fact that he admitted to having sex with a minor child and that he fled the country and he's had all this success, while being a fugitive of the law. whether we forgive him or not, he must pay the price for breaking the law. hollywood needs to remember that. >> howard, let me ask you, you deal with stars all the time. again, i understand that you're saying that their point is not that they argue with what he did and the fact that it was a heinous crime, but very quickly, do stars need to be careful about the association that they will have coming out in support of roman polanski, because it can appear that they're supporting a guy who committed a heinous crime? >> yeah. and i think a lot of the stars have given it a lot of fact, i think a lot of stars have studied the case. and i think a lot of stars have

a history of fighting for justice, even in the case of capital punishment and other issues like that. we're not arguing over someone's guilt. we're arguing over how we allocate justice in this country and that's where it keeps going back to, a.j.. >> got end to it there. as we move on tonight, the breaking revelations from mackenzie phillips about her sexual relationship with her father. this is new tonight, because just tonight on cnn's larry king live, mackenzie phillips exposes yet another bombshell about having sex with her dad. >> when did it end? >> it ended when i became pregnant. >> was it his baby? >> plus, you're not going to believe what her half sister bijuo is saying today about mackenz mackenzie's claims. and tonight, the dramatic details from john travolta himself of how he says he was shaken down for $25 million after his son's death.

you've had a lot of skeptics questioning her claims, but now with these new details, do they support the argument that, hey, you really can't make this stuff up? >> it's really impossible to know, a.j. this is an issue which has divided her own family. it's impossible for anyone other than the two people who were allegedly involved in this situation to know what the real truth is. people who have known her her entire life are split on whether she's telling the truth or not. i believe she believes she's telling the truth. as we know, there is such a thing as false memory recovery syndrome and other people who get these things wrong, occasionally, for whatever reason, but it's really shocking. and the fact is, we don't know. >> and it's just so hideous to think of the implications that this may have actually taken place. let me play this other part of mackenzie's new interview on "larry king live." mackenzie talked in brand-new and very stunning detail about the night she first remembered having sex with her dad. this was supposed to be the night before her wedding. look at this. >> the night before my father came to florida with the intention to stop the union,

nobody wanted me to marry jeff, and i went over to my father's hotel room and we -- he had a lot of drugs, i had a lot of drugs, we took a lot of drugs, and all i remember is arriving in the room, getting high, and then i remember sort of -- you know how you kind of -- i don't know if you know this, you probably don't know this, if you're in a blackout and then you're not in your body and then you come to in your body, i was in the act of having sex with my father. >> again, just incredible to have. here's the thing to hear. there are a lot of people rallying around mackenzie and the story she's telling about incest, it can be a positive thing to talk about. but there are still those not buying it because of her history with drugs and blacking out. kim, if there's even a chance mackenzie's story is true, obviously she's a victim. is it completely unfair for people to judge her? >> yeah. again, nobody really knows except her and her father, who's not alive anymore. although when you watch that interview, it really does seem

like it's not so cathartic for her. it seems like she's having a lot of trouble talking about this. which makes it seem a lot more true. you are hearing so many people speak out. she's said that, you know, calls to incest lines are up, that she's getting so much positive feedback from incest survivors w who have come forward. if she's doing something good, that's a good thing. >> ben, as you mentioned, this really that as divided their family. mackenzie's half sister, chynna came out supporting her sister, saying she does believe her. but another half sister, bijou phillips does not believe. she's calling mackenzie a flat-out liar. let me read from this twitter rant that bijou posted this week. when i was young, my sister told me about this. it ruined my life and my relationship with my father. until that point, afs normal kid. started doing drugs and did not talk o to my dad anymore. i was f'd up with i'm 29 now,

i've talked to everyone, do not believe my sister. our family is many things, this is not one of them. do you think mac should shut these interviews now, stop doing the book tour. >> clearly, this is something she needs to talk about, even though it's causing all this controversy. i think she has the right to tell her story and says what she believes happened to her. it's fascinating bijou is blaming this incident for herself going off the rail. she was famous in the fashion industry in the late '90s as a really troubled model, so it's interesting to hear her credit this with going off the rails opinion. and john travolta took the stand today related to his son's death. he describes a paramedic's plot to extort $25 million from john by threatening to expose a document that john said today would, quote, imply that the death of my son was intentional and i was culpable in some way. i have to tell you, hearing those words, and they came from

john travolta's mouth, my heart breaks hearing him going through this. >> to have to go through this publicly and relive a lot of it, on top of people are criticizing him for not coming sooner, saying his son was autistic, saying he should have said that sooner as he is still dealing with this. good for him for getting out there to show other people who might try to do this to celebrities, you're not going to get away with it. >> hopefully he is getting closure. thank you, guys. as we move on tonight, right now, britney spears getting freaky with her old buddy from 'n sync. not just justin timber lake, but lance bass. the guy is sitting on the couch in the middle. that's lance. now, there have been all kinds of rumors online that brittney gave a lap dance to lance. well, it may not have been a lap dance, but he certainly got an eyeful. hey, some guys have all the luck. tonight, tory spelling's

faster. i wanted to clear something out, and see what's outside. and then i realized there's a kid on the next door window. but i told him to keep his head out the window and breathe. that's the best he could do. i didn't want to take out the window -- what did you call it? >> the frame. >> the frame, because i didn't want him to fall out, didn't want to risk that. the kid is lucky to make it, he's a strong kid. >> a true hero. he used the media attention to take another risk and proposed to his girlfriend on live tv. by the way, she did accept. there are still no signs of a tennessee infant taken from his mother's home. the woman is covering from a collapsed lung and several stab wounds. maria garolo was kidnapped. an amber alert was issued for the baby. last night nancy grace talked to her neighbor immediately after the moment of the baby's abduction. here it is.

". >> miss kimball, when you first saw her, the mother, what did she look like? >> she was covered in blood. blood was gushing out of the side of her neck. it was coming down her face. it was all down her body. it was just dripping everywhere. >> miss kimball, this is an important question. does she have anything in the front yard, like blue balloons or one of those stork posters or anything celebrating bringing the baby home? >> yes. there was something there saying a baby boy was born at the

summer olympics. first lady michelle obama is in copenhagen now, chatting up the international olympic committee on behalf of her hometown. chicago is competing against rio dde janeiro, tokyo and madrid. chicago is the odds-on favorite to win the vote tomorrow. this may surprise you. so far, chicago has spent more than $100 million in its bid and organizers estimate the games will cost $3.8 billion. some people say, you know, it's worth it. the games would stimulate the economy and the city could make money, since it has much of the infrastructure in place already. but we wanted to know what you thought about this. should chicago host the 2016 olympic games? we go to the phone lines right away. we start with janard in texas. what do you think? what's your view? >> caller: absolutely. i'm perplexed and saddened by the attitude of some chicagoans. perplexed because it seems like

it's a no-brainer, going to bring billions of dollars to help to stimulate their economy, and they certainly need that, and they certainly need the image of an olympic game in their area. and saddened because it just seems like here is another sad witch hunt on the part of a conservative group that thinks that anything that our president suggests or advises to be a part of, they think that it's dubious in nature. and i just totally disagree. it's a great idea for chicago, and they should embrace the opportunity, because of the infusion of capital in their marketplace. >> janard thank you, from texas. richard in new york, what do you think? is it a go ahead, a good idea in chicago or no? >> caller: yes, i think it's a great idea. i agree with janard, 100%. it's just the pride we would have of having it in the united states. and i can guarantee, if president obama did not go and pitch forward, and we lost, and went -- and it went to madrid, then the same people who are saying he never should have been

there will be yelling and screaming at why didn't he go there? he's probably unamerican. >> so you think it's political. >> caller: oh, of course, it is. and where were they last year, when george bush was over in china for four days? and they didn't say a thing when we had two wars going on and the economy was collapsing. so i think it's all political. >> interesting view, richard. thank you. we finally go to freddie in anderson, texas. how do you feel? do you think chicago should be kind of fighting for this, and obama should be involved or not? what do you think? >> caller: no, i do not. i disagree with it. it's going to cost a lot of money. chicago is broke now. and i -- it's corrupt. i just don't feel like it would be a good idea. >> is it political, in your eyes? do you think that president obama has other things on his plate he should be focusing on? >> caller: absolutely. i think he should be focusing on our troops. he hasn't acknowledged anything. they're asking for more. these troops need him. they need his support.

i think as far as the medical, things like that -- >> okay. so you say there is a lot more to focus on than the olympics. freddie, thank you. so much thanks for calling in. we want to know what you think. burden or boon? should chicago host the 2016 olympic games? give us a call, let us know what you think. 877-tell-hln. you can also e-mail us, cnn.com/hln. or text the word views plus your kmeptsd comments and name to hlntv. standard text rates apply. we have an exciting addition to our prime time line up. "the joy behar show" debuted this week. here is a quick taste of what you will get. it's not for nothing commentary. i'll get that right. here it is. >> you know, not for nothing, but my show has been on the air for what, like, two minutes? and already i've been called every name in the book. i've been called stupid, pushy, dumb, a loud mouth and a

marxist. i take exception. i am not a marxist. i own property. okay, it's in foreclosure, but still. this name-calling doesn't bother me. you think it bothers me? i'm used to it. bill o'reilly once called me a pinhead. yeah, he's mature. and a christian columnist named eric rush actually called me a fatty boom-blatty. which version of the bible does he read, the king james or the doctor sues? let me say something to these nattering, negative nay bobs. i am a mature woman capable of intelligent discourse. i love to engage in cogent debate and partake in well-informed conversation, okay? i relish the thought of sitting down with all of my adversaries, so glen, rush, bill, i invite all of you to come on the show and discuss things like rational adults, even if you are a big bunch of doo-doo heads. but that's just me. >> and you can catch the "joy

behar show" every night on hln. the cell phone video of a student being beaten to death has shocked the city, the entire country. but it hasn't prompted witnesses to come forward with any information about the crime. why the neighborhood is not talking.

funeral services will be held saturday for derrion albert, the honor student beaten to death during a gang fight in chicago. police there say they are

fighting a code of silence, as they try to track down more suspects in this case. the whole thing was caught on tape as dozens of young people looked on. last night on our sister network, cnn, chicago's police superintendent vented his frustration. here he is. >> this young man was killed. the entire city is outraged, and yet we have gotten no tips, no calls. >> are you serious? no one? >> no one has called in that i'm aware of from talking to the detectives, and provided us with any information. that is unbelievable to me, when the offenders are teenagers, they're involved with other teenagers that go to the same school, and no one calls in. we are literally getting killed by this code of silence. this no snitching rule, and we've got to work hard to overcome it. so far, police have arrested four teens on first degree murder charges. investigators are looking for three more suspects. and another chicago teenager is clinging to life in the hospital after he was beaten on a north side street. police have not identified the

14-year-old victim. a witness says the boy was chased down by three male attackers who beat him. one allegedly struck him in the head with a shiny object. the teen is in critical condition with a fractured skull. the tennessee man accused of abducting his own children in japan insists he didn't do anything wrong. christopher savoy tells cnn, he is scared he may never see his kids again. savoy says his ex-wife took the children to japan in violation of their custody agreement. but japanese law considers her the sole guardian. cnn was granted an interview him, but no cameras were allowed. here's what he says. i am so scared. i don't know how long i'll be here. i want americans to know what is happening to me. i didn't do anything wrong. he went on to say, japanese people think she's the victim here. in the states, my ex-wife is the one who was in the wrong. savoy also has a message for his children. he says this. i love you, isaac, rebecca, your

daddy loves you forever. i'll be patient and strong until the day comes i can see you both again. i am very sorry that i can't be with you, end quote. all right. we're talking golf now. and tiger woods makes history again, as the first-ever billion-dollar athlete. that's billion. that is according to "forbes" which has been tracking his earning since he turned pro. won the fedex cup last week weekend, and that put him over the billion-dollar mark in combined earnings on and off the course. michael jordan also earned $1 billion in a few years. nike denies it has inked a new deal with michael vick. today nike says it does not have a relationship with the back-up quarterback. he signed with nike in 2001, but they dropped him two years ago when he pleaded guilty to federal dog-fighting charges. it looks like the effort to save saturn is running out of

gas. the giant says its deal to sell saturn to roger penski, has fallen through. penski owns a chain of car dealerships. his company can't find a manufacturer to build the cars, so he is walking away from the deal. there are 350 saturn dealerships in the country, employing about 13,000 people. gm will stop making saturns after 2011. like so many people, if you were a homeowner in financial trouble, you need to act pretty fast. you may be able to save your home, and your credit. that is good news. hln money expert clark howard tells you how. >> i get a lot of questions from people wanting to know if they negotiate a deal with their mortgage lender, how is that going to affect their credit score and credit standing? well, the three major credit bureaus put out a report that says that if you just negotiate a new payment plan with your lender, that the effect on your credit score is actually very

small. almost meaningless. but what if you say, i give up, and you negotiate a short sale? the effect on your credit score, getting up there. you lose over 100 points. let's say instead you just say, i give up, here are the keys and you allow yourself to be foreclosed on. the effect is actually just a little worse than doing a short sale. but if you really want to blow up your credit, you file for bankruptcy. because then what it will do is drop your credit score, you're not going to believe this, but over 300 points. it's better to stay and try to work something out. i'm clark howard. for more ways for you to be smart with your wallet, go to cnn.com/clarkhoward. watch clark howard every saturday and sunday at noon and 4:00 p.m. eastern. you know, legend has it davy crockett killed a bear when he was only 3. this boy was only 5, and he bagged something bigger.

america." here it is. >> this is did he sayer ray right here. i have something to tell you. and, you know that i'm a handful already. we both know that. and i promise you one thing, it's never going to be a down moment. so therefore, would you marry me anyway? >> yes. >> oh, my goodness! >> we love that story. more good news, by the way. the boy he rescued is expected to fully recover. there are still no signs of a tennessee infant taken from his mother's home. doctors say the nashville woman is now recovering from a collapsed lung and several stab wounds. maria garrolla was attacked by a woman she says posed as an immigration official and snatched the baby from her arms. tennessee officials have issued an amber alert for the little boy seen there. last night, nancy grace talked to her neighbor about the
