battle over a leaked sex tape featuring the former wwe star. hogan's legal team resting its case friday attempting to put the news and gossip site's culture on trial. reading e-mails. to the jury between former editor in chief and a young woman pleading with gawker to take down a video clip of her having sex. >> i'm the girl in it. and it was stolen from me and put up without my permission. >> reporter: he later responded to her. it's not getting taken down. it's a dumb mistake that you made. happens to the best of us. >> reporter: that video was ultimately taken down. but the secretly recorded clip of hogan having sex with the wife of his best friend at the time remain on the site for eight months. an internet expert testifying that gawker's web traffic skyrocketing, likely increasing the company's value by $15 million. >> it's those provocative stories like a celebrity sex

tape that can drive value. >> reporter: earlier in the trial, hogan testifying that bubba clem had invited him to sleep with his wife heather multiple times. >> heather wants to have sex with you. started out like that. >> an offer hogan said accepted after his own wife linda left him. now she's weighing in on her ex-husband's legal battle now. telling inside edition hogan doesn't deserve a dime from his lawsuit. >> he has no regret and i don't really think he's sorry. >> reporter: for "good morning america," linzie janis, abc news, st. petersburg, florida. >> our thanks to linzie and joining us now is chief legal analyst dan abrams. the first witness expected is the editor in chief, former. how important is that? >> critical. he's the guy who wrote the article, the guy who got the tape and he came across as incredibly callous in the deposition that the plaintiffs presented.

this is so important in this case. if these jurors hate him and hate gawker they're in trouble. putting aside any of the legal questions and legal standards, if they feel like this is the kind of guy who didn't care about the impact, he didn't care about journalism, he didn't care about hulk hogan, any of that, i think that gawker could be in trouble. >> we heard from gawker in a taped deposition, far from flattering. he's expected to take the stand. how can he change the opinion of himself? >> he's the owner of gawker, he's almost as important in the context of this case. both have to somehow change the image that in the way they came across in those deposition tapes. they have to accept some responsibility, i think. they have to try to be at least somewhat sympathetic. the goal is, just try to make these jurors hear their argument.

and the only way they're going to hear that argument, i think, is if they don't hate gawker. >> you brought up something very interesting on your website, who's paying the legal bills for hulk hogan. >> on my site law and news, the question was number one, could hogan be paying the bills himself? i don't think so. or a contingency fee? where the lawyers cover it. the reason it's unlikely in my view is because hogan should have settled this case. gawker was willing to pay a lot of money. i wonder if there's someone is backing hogan. and encouraging him to move forward. >> thank you, dan. notice he slipped in the way of his website. >> with a z. coming up here, new health warning about humidifiers.

think about those early years, there's a one-year difference in age between, 5 and 6-year-olds. their brains may not be developed enough for the things they're being asked to do. >> what should a parent do if they're being told adhd? >> as a pediatrician, we look at checklists. you want the parents to fill out checklists and the teacher. you look for problems not just in school but problems at home, problems with peers. if you're only seeing it in school, then maybe it's a school-readiness issue. i'll have parents come to me and ask me, are my kids ready? i'll look to see, can they sit still? can they follow directions? can they pay attention? >> i was telling you, i was born in november, started school in new jersey, i had to wait another full year, and so i was always the oldest in class and it kind of helped. >> for some children that's the way to go. >> all right, rich, thanks very much. he'll be taking your questions

half-hour, and we want to get to the latest on madonna and guy ritchie's bitter custody battle on their son rocco. madonna getting emotional over the weekend, dedicating a song to her son. abc's linsey davis has the latest. >> i want to dedicate this next song to him, to rocco. >> reporter: the queen of pop struggling to keep her composure during a recent performance in australia. entitled "tears of a clown." >> it's true, there's no love stronger than a mother for a son. if i talk about him too much i might cry. >> reporter: madonna opening up on stage about the bitter custody battle with ex-guy ritchie over their son rocco. >> what i think we have seen a madonna who's reached a certain age and is more in touch with how she feels. and not afraid to express how she feels.

there's a deep bond between mother and son right there. >> reporter: madonna had been hoping for her son's return after he allegedly got bored traveling with her and decided to go live with his dad in london. earlier this month, a judge in new york ruled to reverse a previous order, allowing rocco to remain in london with his father. >> he'll be staying with his father in the uk and keeping some consistency through the school. >> reporter: while the material girl continues her tour in australia, the next hearing about rocco's custody is scheduled for early june. for "good morning america," linsey davis, abc news, new york. joining us now is abc senior legal correspondent sunny hostin. sunny, madonna wanting to withdraw her custody battle in the uk and bring it to the u.s. does she think she has a better chance here in the country? >> i don't think that's the

issue. i think she wants to put this to bed. put it to rest. this has been a very difficult time for madonna, we have seen that in how she's behaved on stage. she indicated that she just wants her son back home. >> that behavior on stage was erratic, does that affect her case? >> i don't think so. listen, the bottom line is, judges, lawyers, we're used to this type of behavior in custody disputes. above all else, this is a mom who's grieving. this is a mom who wants her son back. white guy ritchie is going to try to use that behavior, i'm sure, to show this son is better with me. i think the bottom line is, the judges are going to say, parents be parents, you're the grown-ups, get together and figure out what's in the best interest of the child. but i also think, because rocco, because he's 15 years

old, he'll have his say in this. he wants to stay with his father in london. and i think that the court will really take that into consideration. >> that makes a lot of sense. and you mentioned what the judges may say. they have already chastised both guy ritchie and madonna for bring this into the courtroom. do you think they'll be able to settle this out of the courtroom? >> it hasn't looked like that, but i think so. madonna is withdrawing the action in london, she wants to put this to bed. she wants her family at peace. >> all right, sunny, thanks so much. we appreciate it. >> george. we're going to turn now to the duggar family. they're back in the spotlight with sister jill and jessa starring in a new series. paula faris had a chance to sit down with some of the siblings. for the first time since josh duggar's scandal. >> i traveled to arkansas to meet with the older siblings.

but now he can't escape the sound of explosions during the middle of the night. producers once called police when he tried to trim his trees. >> they come out here and saying, i need to stop. i said well, no -- >> reporter: we heard a different story from the two brother-in-laws who have used the show about the dead to give their town new life. >> even andy lincoln a star of the show, he said thank you so much for letting us film here. thank you for filming here. they're that polite. >> it hasn't come without challenges. but we have been able to make everything work for, not only the production folks, but the citizens of senoia. >> reporter: they want no on plot twists or story lines leaking out of town.

for "good morning america," steve osunsami, abc news, senoia, georgia. we reached out to amc network for comment. they didn't back to us in time for this broadcast. let's get out to ginger. >> it's still raining. we're under this overhang. don't worry, i won't do any more batman impressions. let's go ahead and check what we need to see. this is an area that should have some large hail and the potential for strong winds. >> good morning, i am meteorologist mike nicco. we have a shower possible through 9:00 and partly sunny this afternoon with temperatures in the upper 50s to mid-60. my seven-day outlook shows not a single storm-impact scale and nearly 80 >> all that weather brought to you by colgate. and guess what, if you think you know everything about "star wars," think again. a new documentary will premiere later today at the south by southwest festival.

and right now, we have an exclusive sneak peek. it's the movie that took over the galaxy. >> i can't talk about that. >> and now it can all be revealed in a new documentary which goes behind the scenes and looks at every aspect of the making of the megablockbuster. the excited cast and crew. >> this feeling came over me since tunisia. on the first look. >> star wars, a kind of universe that might accept me. >> i remember thinking, we're about to shoot this thing and i'm not ready. >> to the screen tests. >> why are you doing this? >> because it's the right thing to do. >> you need a pilot. >> i need a pilot. >> to how exactly the captain got her name. >> the name came, looking at chrome design of her uniform, it reminded me of the movie "phantasm."

there's this chrome ball, a devil ball with spikes on it. i always loved the design of that ball. >> and how adam driver's costume helped get him into character. >> putting it on was such an event. by the time we were ready, i felt totally ready. >> the new documentary looks at it all, including that final climatic scene that broke our hearts. just as tense for its stars as it was for the audience. >> it was the scene that i think terrified me the most. >> his destiny is resolved in a powerful and effective way. >> i remember walking on set with harrison and him saying, you know, look at what we get to do. >> i wanted han solo to be able to lend some significant and emotional weight to the story.

>> so exciting. that documentary is just one of the many extras on the digital and blu-ray versions being released at the beginning of april. coming up here, superman henry

♪ back now with superman. not many people get to say that, right? henry cavill right here. we're counting down to the highly anticipated new "batman v superman" movie. pitting the man of steel against the dark knight. before the superheroes face off, their alter-egos take on each other. >> what is your position in gotham? >> daily planet. >> do i own this one? >> civil liberties have been trampled on in your city. good people leaving in fear. >> don't believe everything you hear, son. >> i have seen it. he thinks he's above the law. >> oh, that was just the civil discourse. it gets a lot rougher and tougher. henry cavill, thanks for being with us.

>> thank you for having me. >> why can't they just get along, why the feud? >> well, basically, it was in the script. if there was really a fight, i mean, come on. >> you would say superman would definitely win. >> i'm not saying that out loud. i'm merely infering it. >> superman learns a tough lesson in this movie, the price of fame. people want to lift you up and then you tear you down. that's what happens to superman. how does he overcome it? >> he doesn't. the great thing about superman is about slinging arrows. he already expected the world to fail. the world, half the world only fear him, but they accuse him of evil as well. >> it was really powerful. this is an intense film. but i understand that ben

affleck helped lighten the mood behind the scenes. >> ben has a good sense of humor. especially when you see him walking around the big bat suit. and because he can't see anything, he falls over stuff all the time and so, yeah, it's not his fault. unfortunately, it's a tricky suit to get around in. >> it's such a physical part of the job, you had to work out constantly. i know you talked about your regimen for the first movie. >> we worked harder on this one. i got bigger. >> you were competing against one another. >> yes, when you see ben on set and he's in good shape, it makes you want to go back to the gym that morning and work harder. >> and you talked about your struggles with body image as a child and how you used that in playing superman. >> it does help to have that stigma in the back of your head that you're never quite good enough. it's not necessarily healthy. >> now, you're definitely healthy.

even as superman, i understand you had to win some kids over. we have a pretty funny clip. let's take a look. >> why is batman better? >> he can fly. >> he can only fly if he falls off something. i think you got batman confused with superman. batman can't go up. only go down. superman can do both. is batman still better than superman? >> yes. >> you never convinced them. >> no, not that day. >> why is superman better than batman? >> that's a tricky one. without making batman look bad, pretty much anything you can think of, he's got all of the superpowers, he's a nice guy. his suit looks better. >> all right, well, i think we can all agree here in this room, henry cavill, thank you for joining us. the movie opens up nationwide march 25th.
