good morning, america. breaking right now, hurricane warning. joaquin gaining strength in the atlantic, barreling towards the east coast. winds topping 70 miles an hour and growing. the massive storm's path right now. new this morning, secret meeting. kim davis, the kentucky county clerk who fought against same-sex marriage says she was invited to meet pope francis behind closed doors during his whirlwind tour of america. >> i was crying, had tears coming out of my eyes. >> her private message from the pope only on "gma" this morning. an abc news exclusive. monica lewinsky speaking out in a rare one-on-one interview. >> why are you speaking now? >> her call to action. >> even though i have suffered from shame i'm not ashamed of who i am. >> and what she says about the race for president. ♪ i'm on the edge and striking out. one fan's very bad day.

it's one, two, three strikes he's out at the old ball game and what the team did to help him. >> come on, guys. it's not as easy as it looks. >> apparently not. >> kind of a helpless yankee fan there, bam! oh, well. >> oh. >> oops. oh. >> oh. >> right in the glasses. oh, my goodness, it's a busy wednesday morning. in just a minute kim davis on that secret meeting with the pope. you see her right there and it is a wet day here in new york with a lot more to come. >> right to the weather. we begin with that massive storm churning in the atlantic. joaquin picking up strength as it moves towards the east coast as a hurricane warning is issued this morning for the bahamas. ginger following its path and this one could be a big problem. >> now we have got hurricane

joaquin. 75 miles per hour moving southwest at six miles. lots of warm water. we got hurricane watching and warnings for central and northern bahamas and rip current and advisories from kousle south carolina. it's very slow and moves slowly and could go up to category 2 hurricane. plenty of warm water and the cone of uncertainty takes it to the midatlantic. lots of possibilities. that's why we put on the spaghetti computer plots here. timing is sunday into monday. it's just too soon to say if any impact to the united states. george. >> which means you will have a busy week in the next few days. >> thanks very much. to that secret meeting between kim davis and pope francis. the kentucky county clerk who refuses to license same-sex marriage says the meeting happened in washington last week and this morning she's talking about it for the first time. abc's paula faris here with that story. >> good morning.

you know, kim davis told me this was always about her religious liberty and conscience and apparently has pope francis in her corner. we're told the vatican reached out to her and arranged this secret meeting with her and until now they've kept it under wraps. with enthusiastic crowds lining the streets from new york to d.c., the pope seemed to strike just the right note with americans on his visit. but now this morning reports of a secret meeting with kim davis, the county clerk in kentucky who defied a court order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. >> but it was really very humbling to even think that he would want to, you know, meet me or know me. >> reporter: she and her husband met the pope during the washington leg of his trip after receiving a surprise phone call from a vatican official. >> i put my hand out and he reached and he grabbed it and i hugged him and he hugged me and he said thank you for your courage. >> reporter: after being jailed

for six days, davis is now back at work but still not issuing any marriage licenses, a stance pope francis voiced his support for during a press conference on his flight back to rome. >> do you support those kinds of claims of religious liberty? >> reporter: telling abc's terry moran. conscientious objection is a human right even for government officials. >> before he left he said, stay strong. that was a great encouragement just knowing that the pope is on track, you know, with what we're doing and agreeing, you know, kind of validates everything. >> reporter: according to davis and her lawyer vatican officials stayed mum on the meeting because they didn't want the pope's visit to be focused on kim davis. davis saying the pope left her with a rosary and a renewed commitment to her cause. >> i've weighed the cost and i'm prepared to do whatever it takes. >> reporter: and kim davis plans on giving that rosary to her parents who are catholic, of course, she is not. at this point the vatican is not confirming nor denying it took

place but kim's counsel told us we can expect to see photos of it at some point. this pope is not shying away from controversy, this is the clearest example yet. >> thank you so much. turning now to the war against isis and the crisis in syria. russia making a big announcement this morning that could prolong the conflict. and an alarming new report high lighting the threat of foreign fighters including americans joining the brutal terror group. abc's martha raddatz is in washington with the very latest. martha, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, lara. this is a very troubling step this morning by vladimir putin to get more involved in the conflict in syria. for the first time today. launching air strikes in syria which the russians claim are targeting isis and which will help prop up the government of syria's president assad. the u.s. of course wants assad out but he could get more help from russia. overnight putin got approval from his parliament to use

military force the exact kind of approval he received before going into ukraine in early 2014 this also comes on the heels of a new report showing 250 americans have travelled to iraq or syria to join isis or other extremist groups. the bipartisan report concluding that americans are being radicalized at an unprecedented rate and law enforcement just can't keep up with it. lara. >> so troubling. thank you, martha raddatz. the race for president now, "your voice, your vote." and this morning bill clinton takes on donald trump, the former president firing back after trump's attacks on hillary clinton as trump takes a new tact with fox news. tom llamas covering it all. good morning, tom. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. a busy day here in new hampshire. donald trump, jeb bush and dr. ben carson all campaigning in the granite state and trump saying he is working on his likability since his

unfavorables have been so high in poll after poll, this coming as a fresh round of attacks are facing donald trump including one from a former president. >> heck, it's a crazy season. >> reporter: he's back. former president bill clinton making the rounds and the case why his wife should be president defending hillary from one of her harshest critics, donald trump. >> he asked her to come to his wedding when he found out we were going to be in florida. i don't know how many times he told me what a wonderful job she did in new york as a senator. >> reporter: firing back after trump's attacks on hillary's time as secretary of state. >> you shouldn't be able to insult your way to the white house. >> reporter: and hillary clinton who has seen her lead in the latest national poll nearly evaporate using trump's own words to rally donors. >> you know the word shrill, she's become shrill. >> reporter: in an e-mail to supporters the clinton campaign painting the remark as sexist saying is the woman who asks for the raise she deserves shrill?

trump saying the comment wasn't sexist. >> i'm back. >> reporter: the billionaire ending his self-declared boycott of fox news and defending his tax plan which one conservative tax group said would add more than $10 trillion to the deficit. trump saying he'd also save money by cutting waste. >> department of education, tremendous cuts. department of environmental protection where they're actually going around and causing damage as opposed to saving damage. >> reporter: this as senator marco rubio keeps hammering trump that he's unfit for the presidency. >> the presidency is a tough job. you're going to be criticized and you can't flip out every time somebody says something about you. >> reporter: money is so important at this point in the race and this morning, news that one of the three super packs supporting rand paul is no longer raising money for him. this as ted cruz is out with a video, senator ted cruz showing paul supporters in iowa, new hampshire now supporting cruz. he's clearly going after that libertarian vote and finally this morning, donald trump on yet another cover. this is the cover of "people"

magazine this week. you can see donald trump there with his wife melania and their son barron inside his life right now. >> let's talk to matt dowd about this. president clinton, he caused some trouble for hillary clinton's campaign last time but also gave a big boost to president obama's re-election so how does he play now? >> mariano rivera was a popular relief pitcher and he's retired but bringing him in giving up a lot of runs, i don't know how helpful it will be. bill is popular but hillary will have to do this on her own now in a great tussle with donald trump. we'll see how that unfolds. >> trump has the new tax plan, playing nice with fox. this new phase of the campaign, a real test for him. >> yeah, it is and i think he really needs a second act. the first part of the summer has been great. he needs an act where basically he adds substance and adds real gravitas to the presidency. i don't know if he can do that but that's what he needs to do. >> matt dowd thanks very much.

to a serious health alert. new questions about calcium supplements taken by millions who think they're strengthening their bones. two new studies find the supplement may actually do more harm than good. abc's dr. richard besser here to explain. what are the conclusions of this study? turns it on its ear. >> this is very important news. millions take these supplements to try and reduce the risk they're going to have fractures. now two studies in an important journal reviewed all the work that's been done on this and found except for elderly women in nursing homes where there is some benefit the slight benefit you might find is outweighed by the risks. >> the risks are serious. >> they are. you can experience mild things like constipation, abdominal pain but increased risk of kidney stones, even a slight increased risk of heart attack here. we reached out to the industry trade group and they challenged the findings and say that calcium supplements are safe and effective. but if you want to continue taking these, you really should talk to your doctor. >> you need to know about those risks. so many of us take them every

day thinking we're doing good for our body. you have tips for us online. >> i will have them on twitter right after this. >> thank you. rich. >> okay, lara, thanks. the showdown over planned parenthood. its ceo cecile richards on the hot seat in congress facing questions about those undercover videos overspending, even her salary as some conservatives threaten to shut down the government if the organization's federal funding is not cut off. abc's jon karl covered the fireworks. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. through hours of intense questioning, republicans made it perfectly clear they now consider planned parenthood target number one. the head of planned parenthood faced a barrage of questions and criticism from republicans. the hearing lasted five hours. >> do you profit or make money on abortion services? >> why do you need federal dollars? you're making a ton of dough. >> i don't get -- we don't make any profit off of federal money. >> reporter: republicans want to strip planned parenthood of all its public funding in the wake of a series of controversial

undercover videos shot by anti-abortion activists, planned parenthood president cecile richards said the group does not sell fetal tissue. >> the outrageous accusations leveled against planned parenthood based on heavily doctored videos are offensive and categorically untrue. >> reporter: republican presidential candidates have made defunding planned parenthood a central campaign issue. just look at the last debate. >> these planned parenthood videos are horrifying. >> i don't believe planned parenthood should get a penny from the federal government. >> this is about the character of our nation. >> reporter: at the hearing republicans also condemned planned parenthood's spending, demanding to know why richards is paid more than $500,000 a year. the line of questioning that democrats found sexist. >> i first would like to register my opposition and my objection to the chairman beating up on a woman on our witness today for making a good salary. >> i can assure you i've seen many male witnesses treated much tougher than you've been treated

here today. surely you don't expect us to be easier on you because you're a woman. >> absolutely not. that's not how my momma raised me. >> planned parenthood gets more than $500 million a year in government funding. by law, none of that money can go to abortion but republicans now say they want to take away all of the funding, some of them even if that means shutting down the government. lara. >> all right, jon karl in washington, thank you. now to the execution of the georgia mother on death row. the first woman put to death in that state in 70 years. and even a flurry of last-minute appeals could not persuade authorities to spare her life. abc's david wright has the story. >> reporter: despite a flurry of last-minute appeals, 47-year-old kelly renee gissendaner was put to death this morning by lethal injection. her last breath coming at 12:21 a.m. the mother of three, the first woman to be put to death in georgia in 70 years wanted her children to know she left the

world singing "amazing grace" according to her lawyer. gissendaner was convicted of murder in 1997 after her husband was stabbed to death by her then boyfriend. the boyfriend copped a plea and testified against her, receiving a lighter sentence. gissendaner was a model inmate graduating from a prison theology program in 2011 and winning her children's forgiveness. they pleaded for her life. >> my brothers and i really want my mom to live. she is all that we have left. >> reporter: so did pope francis who believes the death penalty is immoral. the pope asked officials in georgia to commute the sentence to one that would better express both justice and mercy. >> every life is sacred. >> reporter: this is an unusual case. it is rare for someone to be put to death who did not actually pull the trigger in a murder. today a lot of people are going to be questioning whether this was fair, especially given the fact that her children forgave her, lara. >> all right, thank you very much, david. amy now with the important's other top stories starting with more u.s. air strikes in afghanistan.

>> that's right, the u.s. military launched three more air strikes on taliban positions around the afghan city of konduz. that is the city seized by the taliban this week in a stunning attack. fierce fighting for control of the airport raged through the night and now the taliban has also attacked government facilities in a neighboring province. well back here in this country a frightening scene in texas. the wing of this regional jet hit the runway while landing at mcallen airport near the mexico border. pilots quickly righted the plane. mesa airlines which was operating this flight is now investigating what happened. and a manhunt under way for a convicted killer mistakenly released. from a louisiana prison. benjuiel johnson was serving a 40-year sentence. it took them five days to find the mistake. and they're blaming missing paperwork. another win for tom brady, the nfl's appeal in the deflategate case will not be heard until february. that means brady is free to play the entire season. take a look at a guy who

will be getting a lot of grief at the office today. sorry. he was at the yankees game last night. right there in the blue shirt. ah, he tried to catch his first fly ball. then the second one, boom. and then finally in a last-ditch effort. what you didn't see, in an effort to restore his dignity the team's ball boy actually tossed him that ball like, hey, here you go, guy. we knew you couldn't catch the first two. he couldn't catch that either. the lesson is if you're going to have a seat like that in the front row bring a baseball glove. it's really helpful. >> got to have a mitt. >> he looks like he's in pretty good shape too. >> maybe no hand/eye coordination. >> maybe time for a new -- now for his eye doctor. >> could be. the question of the morning. will future cars drive themself? you'll see the car in just 30 seconds.

thanks to google, driving in the future may mean telling the car where to go and sitting back and enjoying the ride. neal karlinsky took a test ride. >> reporter: this little round bubble of a car just might be the future. you could hear it humming. we were invited to the normally secret google x facility to be among the first outsiders to ride in their self-driving car prototype. >> there is no steering wheel in here. there is just -- >> car coming up. >> whoa. there's a car, we're dodging the car. we seem to be going slowly and trailing behind it. now, here's a guy with a bicycle. >> reporter: with a top speed of 25 miles per hour we were on a closed course for a four-minute ride filled with obstacles meant to simulate the real world.

it's pretty spacious in here. there's two of us and there's just a go button and a stop button and that's all there is. one test car stopped suddenly midway but the rest went smoothly. it's no gimmick. google believes self-driving cars will be a reality a lot sooner than you think. >> we've been driving on public roads for, what, 1.2 million miles at this point so it's about 90 years of kind of normal human driving experience so it's getting really quite good. >> reporter: this is what the car sees through a series of camera, radars and lasers. it identifies people, other cars, everything. apple is reportedly working on its own prototype car. others too. but at google the secret is out. they're letting the car do the talking and the driving. for "good morning america," neal karlinsky, abc news, mountain view, california. >> that would take a lot of getting used to. not to have that wheel. >> i like the concept but it would be scary. >> yeah. >> let go of the wheel. all right, so much more coming up on "good morning america." an abc news exclusive.

we're back now we're back now with my exclusive interview with monica lewinsky. opening up about the new chapter in her life. a new campaign against bullying. her very public shaming back in 1998 giving her a special understanding of what online bullying is all about. >> that's something that can resonate with a lot of people. >> reporter: this is the monica lewinsky the world doesn't know, a woman committed to giving purpose to her past. by helping others take the power out of bullying it's a cause lewinsky has embraced calling herself patient zero, the first person to lose her digital reputation on a worldwide scale. her affair with president bill clinton, one of the first major scandals to break online in 1998 fueling a constant barrage of jokes, insults and cyberbullying. >> people referring to me as tramp, slut, whore.

imagine walking a mile in someone else's headline. >> now nearly 20 years later lewinsky re-emerging speaking out all over the world asking us to click with compassion. her newest job as a strategic adviser to bystander revolution working with student youth ambassadors to help victims of bullying. and i sat down with monica lewinsky to discuss her new mission in life, the presidential race and what it's like being monica lewinsky. there was something very powerful that happened that i read pushed you back into the public spotlight. there was a tragedy, a young boy, tyler clementi. here was this young man betrayed by someone, put on display for the public and he ended his life. something you thought about and your mother was afraid you would do and this was a real call to action for you. >> it was. you know, having this experience with my mom. she kept saying tyler's poor parents. i realized afterwards that she

was very much reliving 1998, the early days where she had to sit by my bed every night because i she was worried about what i would do if left alone. >> you showered with the door open? >> yes, i remember it vividly. closed the door, turned the shower on and there was a knock and she said we have to leave the door open and that was an intersection of a point where i was healing but also to realize that there might be something -- a way i may be able to contribute and i also want to say too i want to be really clear that i'm not equating my own experiences with tyler's. >> why are you speaking now? >> you know, imagine you've gone through this horrific life-changing experience and you were traumatized and humiliated. and all of a sudden you realized one day that you could actually help other people because you had survived it.

it would just be really hard to sit back and remain silent. >> what is the call to action here? >> october is bullying prevention month and we have -- will be rolling out a challenge every day in october so 31 challenges. it's all about forming habits of action. our focus and our goal is that we're determined to get people to change the way they react when they see or encounter bullying. >> it's amazing the impact of kindness. >> yes, and i can tell you from personal experience, that it makes a difference. it makes a difference if someone makes an unkind comment on social media and you have other people saying, hang in there or something positive, i think it takes the sting out. >> i was your age when this was all happening. we're the same age and i've often thought, what's it like to walk into a job interview? what's it like to go on a date? what's it like to order a pizza when your name is monica lewinsky. >> well, that i usually use another name for. i've had my challenges over the years with those kind of things.

[ laughter ] but now it's time for the "heat index" and this morning's hot button, the fashion world, ralph lauren stepping down as ceo of the company started almost 50 years ago. rebecca jarvis here with that story. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: hi, george. good morning to you. it's an end of an era and sign of the times and could change everything we're wearing for years to come. one of the few designers to

single-handedly grow his fashion house into an empire all by himself but now all that changes. ralph lauren, his name is synonymous with red carpet glamour. >> ralph lauren designed my dress. >> ralph lauren. >> reporter: and a collection of labels bearing his name that have come to define american fashion. ralph lauren, the man, has shaped how america dresses every day. >> in the world of fashion, ralph has really been monumental in so many different ways, i mean, he isn't just a brand, he isn't just a designer, but his name is synonymous with a particular look. what americana is. you don't have to love fashion or know it but you know ralph lauren. >> reporter: it's been exported all over the globe. now a surprise announcement. the company that lauren founded 48 years ago with every decision bearing his influence is naming a new ceo to run the company. >> this has been such a family run business for so long. for ralph to step back and bring an outsider in is really interesting.

>> reporter: the soon-to-be 76-year-old announcing tuesday old navy's current president stefan larsson will step into the position, the appointment an urgent effort to grow the company. lauren whose company raked in $7.5 billion in sales last year has made a lasting imprint on the fashion world, even designing the american uniforms for multiple olympics. >> everything i've always done has been for my own emotion, and it was never done for a brand or a label. >> reporter: his designs, a favorite of stars like david beckham, anne hathaway, even princess diana, gwyneth paltrow pretty in pink in her most memorable 1999 oscar-winning ball gown. >> i'm drawing inspiration from my life, from history, from movies, from books, from everything i see, put it together and try to make a statement. >> reporter: but fashionistas, fear not, lauren will continue to have a role at his namesake company as executive chairman

and chief creative officer for the monumental brand telling abc news overnight "i'm excited about my business, and i'm not leaving. i'm taking on a partner. we have been a leader in our industry for nearly 50 years, and this is just the beginning." just the beginning. well, ralph lauren officially hands over the reins as ceo in november but what makes this move very interesting is his replacement, larsson, he used to run old navy and h&m which are both known for fast fashion and could spell big changes ahead for ralph lauren's brand because everybody has been moving in this direction of faster fashion. >> what does fast fashion mean? >> fast fashion is when it gets to you faster than ever before. so you see a new thing on the shelf every single day. >> and also you see it on the runway and then it's -- an affordable version is out in that. >> i like how you went old school ralph lauren. >> exactly. i wanted to channel my old school ralph lauren. >> it's not even old school but classic. he created a lifestyle that is so classic and elegant.

i hope that doesn't change. >> we were talking about our favorite looks. do you remember lupita -- i knew i was going to say her name wrong. lupita nyong'o in that red dress. that is classic. >> how about lara spencer at miss america. >> now, that's classy. >> wow. >> look at that. >> thank you. >> focus on the dress, not the hair, people.

desk. >> i stand about 50% of the time and then sit about 50% of the time. >> reporter: touted as a healthier alternative to sitting. abc's tory johnson even goes one step further using a treadmill desk. i mean, this isn't your typical desk. >> this is my typical desk, though. >> what is it that you like about this better than sitting? >> i got this because i think that it makes me focus better and it makes me feel better about myself. >> reporter: an estimated 70% of office workers spend more than 5 hours a day seated at their desk. and experts say sitting for long periods of time can have damaging health effects like premature cardiovascular disease and diabetes. >> the benefit of a standing desk is you're already standing, you're burning about 20% more calories than if you were sitting in addition because you're already standing, you're probably more likely to be doing some additional subtle movements that burn even more calories.

>> reporter: but now new information suggests the news about standing desks isn't all good. >> the potential negatives about standing too long are swollen feet, painful ankles, knee problems, primarily musculoskeletal problems. >> reporter: experts adding the bottom line, balance is key. sitting for a long time isn't great, but standing for extended periods of time isn't great either. what you want to do is break up your day, sit a little, stand a little, walk a little, stretch a little. >> reporter: and the bad news even regular exercise outside of the office isn't necessarily going to compensate for sitting too much. it's important to move around during the day. >> so, we just heard in the piece, do it all, what should we do more, sit or stand? >> too much of anything isn't a good thing because there are advantages and disadvantages to both. standing is going to be better for you but it has its own disadvantages. it can lead to varicose veins and it can lead to foot pain which any woman who's worn heels too long knows. but standing also has a lot of benefits. it's going to burn more

calories, increase your energy, health and posture. when it comes to sitting it can increase blood pressure, cardiovascular issues but it will help release stress, joint pain and you don't have to sit at a chair so let's get that ball in here. you see a lot of people using this. >> i'm starting to see this more and more. >> you can swap your chair in for a ball, one that's bouncing to help distract you during the day. and it will help with core, posture, all that. you can sit on a stool. there are a lot of different things. >> why is it that a ball would help with your posture? >> you're not leaning back. you're relying on your core to keep you straight, upright and focused on what you're doing. >> we talked about stretching. let's get specific. >> so, what they recommend is you don't want to do anything for too long, sitting or standing, so take either sit breaks or standing breaks. if you're sitting for too long you want to take standing breaks. "the wall street journal's" article recommends for every 20 minutes, you want to stand up for eight and stretch for two. let's do some of these stretches. these ladies have been sitting and standing for -- >> quite a while. >> good for text neck. >> text neck.

>> you know, on your phone for too long. stretch your neck. >> it does feel good. >> from side to side and the other one you can do -- if i do it, my baby bump will pop out. stretch all the way back and this helps counterbalance this hunching that we all tend to do a lot so you kind of stretch it out. >> i used to fidget in the office. a little bit of standing, a little bit of sitting, get up and move around. it will make your day go faster. >> you mentioned fidgeting. it's good for you. tapping your foot, playing with your hair, counterbalances -- >> mrs. foster from fifth grade, i hope you're listening. thanks, guys, you can go sit down. >> lara is a big fidgeter. that's why we have to look out for the water glasses. next up on the "heat index," protein supplements, sticking with health, adult athletes use them all the time and now more kids are taking them too. do they really need all that extra protein?

could it do more harm than good? becky worley has the evidence and joins us now. >> reporter: yeah, we talk about body image for girls all the time. but boys, well, they have their issues too and for many, it's about fitness and muscle mass. ♪ connelly smith is committed. >> my goals in gymnastics to get to the olympics and get a gold medal. >> reporter: for this 13-year-old success means practice, fitness and a surprising awareness for a teenager, nutrition. >> it's very important for me to have a lot of protein to last all four hours and not injure myself and stay active. >> reporter: on top of his steak, vegetables, yogurts, connelley opts for a protein shake every day and he's not alone, all over the web you find images of boys bulking up and many cite protein shakes. >> after the gym we'll make some protein shakes. >> reporter: megan montoya is a registered dietitian who works with teen boys. >> they all want to be big and ripped like they see the guys in the magazines and the actors,

you know. they want to impress the girls and they want to be all on par with each other. >> reporter: and for that they're turning to protein but the recommended dietary allowance is only 52 grams per day, even less for teen girls. now, megan does cite instances where protein powders can be helpful as a portion of a high calorie diet like for extreme athletes. but -- >> too much protein can be harmful on the body. you know, it can be hard on your kidneys especially, the liver, and it can be dehydrating. >> reporter: instead of powders and supplements, she recommends real food like this shake, walnuts, greek yogurt, some juice and berries. i try it out on my little muscle man. the verdict, thumbs up and a milk mustache. wow, no protein powder needed here. he's a little young for that, but, hey, you got to start somewhere. now that shake that my little athlete consumed so happily, it had 20 grams of protein. you combine this with egg salad

for lunch and chicken for dinner and a teen boy could easily hit that 50-gram mark, but one note, the protein number will grow as they do, so a rough guide, take half of what a boy weighs and that's the protein he needs, so, for example, as he gets bigger, 140-pound teen would need more like 70 grams of protein, but, george, i can't really imagine my 7-year-old ever hitting that size. >> no, but he's pretty strong. he looks good right there. so, when do the supplements make sense? >> yeah, i mean the thing is is that a shake with protein powder every once in a while is no problem. so what you want to do is pick one that has very few ingredients, not a massive list of other vitamins or added sugars, but the issue with teenagers, they want results fast, and they can go to extremes, and that may not be healthy in the long run. >> right, that's what you want to avoid. okay, becky, good advice. thanks very much. let's go outside to ginger. >> hey, george, let's go ahead

and say good morning to my new friends, michael and all his buddies fresh out of j-town. he said that is jefferson city. that's in georgia, okay, good, we know that now but we also know that joaquin is a hurricane but we've got other storms to worry about before we even worry go that one. the one moving through new england, heavy rains in worcester to boston this morning and then look what happens on friday. that is independent of joaquin and more heavy rain. some places that have already had a foot of rain about to hit the end of the workweek a whole lot more. i'm abc7 meteorologist drew tumo. tracking showers today. light showers elsewhere. comfortably cool and cloudy. mid-60s to mid-70s across the region. accuweather serve's day forecast shows a chance of lie showers tomorrow, otherwise, sun jer nir

but to make sure she doesn't catch a dose of tgit, there's no dvr for her and viola even sent money directly to the casino to keep her mom there. >> wow, that's impressive. >> mom might see there and say, hey, i'll start playing more slots. next up, this is what happened when one mom set up a hidden camera to record her two kids for their grandmother to see, but i bet she had no idea her husband was getting in on the show too. he took a little chore break and busted a move to katy perry and -- ♪ >> oh, i like that. >> is that a traffic cop move? >> is that a clock? >> taking over the dance floor. i don't know what that is but he didn't fall so that's good, and he even did some lip-syncing action. he knew all the words to the song. >> he knows how to work those poms. >> like nobody's business. >> fans we are but that's good to see dad with the hidden camera playing with the kids.

pinterest and amazing blog called princess pinkie girl full of recipes and crafts. she'll show us a solution to a common parenting nightmare. what to do when you're suddenly tasked with whipping up treats for a whole class or sports team. >> so if you're ever had one of those crazy busy days and walk through the front door and greeted with, hey, mom, the bake sale is tomorrow and i'm in charge of the cookies. next time that happen, no worries, i've got you covered. all you need is three simple ingredients that are probably already in your refrigerator or your pantry. a box of cake mix, two eggs and a third of a cup of oil. throw it in your bowl, mix it up, pop it on to a cookie sheet, put it in the oven at 375 for eight to ten minutes and cookie crisis is averted. >> now you guys have cookies up there. have we tasted them officially because i'm tasting it. >> frosted one of these. >> pink for you. >> mm-mm. >> and --

>> oh, those are good. >> you can even up the anti if you have frosting chocolate chip, clearly adds a fourth ingredient if i did my math ingredient but with a few things throw stuff in there, whip it up, quick, easy and i'm sure every parent can say they've been there. next up, one of my favorites. we've all been there whether juice or wine, there will be a spill. let me provide our spill for us. oh, that got on my toes but our viewer dennis knows if you spring into action right away, you can avoid any lasting damage. take a look. >> red wine spill is probably the biggest to stain any furniture or clothing but you're not going to cry over spilled wine after this trick. so after the mishap happens keep your cool. but while the area is still wet pour salt on it liberally and let it sit for a little, come back with warm water and wipe it off and go from sprinkle to stain-free with a little bit of salt.

>> the key to that one you do have to act fast. he says i'm making a mess here, i've officially tried to do this hack but the longer you wait the less you have in regard to options so the biggest thing you got to act quickly but that will work on couches, on anything. this nice white shirt and finally we have youtube star monica church to help us with a beauty 911. she's only 20 but her videos have racked up over 30 million views so, monica, teach us something today. >> okay. so when you're in an emergency and don't have eye shadow, it spilled or cracked or your friend just wants you to go out and you're not ready. here's something you can do. grab out of your purse a lip gloss because who doesn't carry that with them. a light pink or neutral color. >> a lip gloss. >> yes, if it's shimmery or sparkly that's even better. all you have to do is put it on your ring finger and dab lightly on your eyelid and corner of your eye and it will dry and be

shimmery or dewy and double up and add it to your lips to finish off the look. you'll be glammed and ready to go. >> when i think of lip gloss i think of the sticky because anyone who has long hair have gotten it in the lip gloss. is it hard to get off? >> just use it like any other eye makeup product, a face wipe and regular face wipe and comes off easier than mascara. >> you could plan on that and get some fun lip glosses. >> it's fun to trick your friends i'm wearing lip gloss on my eyes. they don't know i've done it before. >> does that feel weird? >> no, it fees fine. it feels like regular eye shadow. >> does your eye stick to itself? >> no. >> it feels fine. >> yes, it dries. >> thank you so much. >> no problem. >> everyone always needs a little makeup. george. >> thank you, sara. we want to hear from you at home. if you have a favorite life hack send it in to goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo! to share it all. now, let's go back outside to ginger.

>> george, we are so excited. time for "ask zee" sponsored by belfor. our question this morning from 5-year-old sophie scott in charleston, west virginia. >> here is my question. what is a derecho? >> how perfect did she say that? >> well, it's a large complex of storms that cause straight-line wind damage. what you see on the screen is the radar and eventually you'll see storm reports from the infamous derecho of 2012. it should be at least 240 miles long so it's got to be long and often travels over huge distances with the same or more intensity. here's something interesting, the front or the nose of the derecho has the strongest winds and they can top 120 miles an hour. calling all parents we want for "ask zee" so send us your video questions by using #askzeegma and they

i should go. >> okay. can i have your number? >> we're so happy to have ellen page with us. thank you very much for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> this is so cool. not only do you star in this movie but you're one of the producers on it. i read that you actually signed on to do that years ago when you first saw the trailer for this oscar-winning documentary short. why was it so important for you to sign on at that time. >> i was fortunate because michael chambord and stacey sher came to me with a documentary, i had just won the oscar and asked if i would be interested in attaching myself to play stacie, before i even got my hands on the doc i watched the trailer online and was weeping and said yes right away. really laurel and stacie are incredible people, something so crucial and so important and they did it in a time when they

were dealing with a circumstance that's unimaginable as an actor, i just -- i just so wanted to be a part of telling her story and feel grateful i got to do that. >> of course, you came out in february 2014. i had read this movie in part actually helped you with that decision. >> yeah, of course, it makes you want to do the right thing and live your life in a true authentic way and, you know, be a visible person for the community. >> and you and your girlfriend made your red carpet debut at the "freeheld" premiere. what was that like? >> it was really special. a time in my life where that seemed impossible honestly. >> i read that you cried when you found out that julianne moore was going to be on this movie with you. that must have been amazing. >> when you're trying to make this movie happen and then julianne moore says yes to playing laurel, i mean, you kind of know your movie is going to get seen and she's just one of the most special people you could possibly meet. you rarely meet people so generous, so deeply kind,

protective. i feel so grateful she's now in my life. she's really, really an extraordinary person. >> you're both tremendous in the movie. what is it you want viewers to take away when they see "freeheld"? >> first and foremost it's a beautiful, beautiful love story and dedication that these women have towards one another is really stunning. and, of course, that's the emotional through line of the film. >> your character is you and julianne moore, you go through a lot in the movie. you witness and go through a ton of homophobia. have you ever personally had to go through anything close to that. >> oh, well, nothing where i was personally, you know, in a situation where i was directly fighting for rights that were so overtly being denied to me by any means, but, yeah, of course, of course, i deal with various degrees of homophobia in my life, yeah. >> this movie is going to be so inspirational to so many people. thank you so much. >> well, thank you so much. thanks for talking about it. i appreciate it. >> great job. absolutely. >> and "freeheld" opens in
