singing, i thought left hand didn't move as much as normal. it seemed heavier. is there -- >> as if i would ever tell anyone if i was or wasn't. >> i have to say as a casual observer it looks like you are. [ laughter ] >> it does so adele also revealing that during that interview that her las vegas residency will 100% be happening this year after it was delayed, of course, due to production issues. she says she and her team are working tirelessly on the show. no word yet on exact dates but for those of you out there who were able to score tickets, don't worry, adele says there will be updates soon so stay tuned. in the news this morning, it's janet, miss jackson if you're nasty. the singer making a comeback on the charts and streaming services thanks to her documentary about her life. billboard reporting that some of her biggest hits have seen an increase in listens since the multipart doc dropped.

her song "the way love grows" saw a 59% bump. that was me and my mom's jam back in the day. it was. while her '80s classics like "control" and "nasty" saw double digit increases. overall, her songs got a 109% bump across the board. the moral of the story here, we could all use a little more janet in our lives. >> do you have family videos of you and your mom? >> we didn't but my mom would drive the car and i was like 5-year-old janai in the backseat and we would sing to janet. it's one of my earliest memories. my mom is going to love this. hey, mom. okay, now award season is fully under way and today is the day we can officially celebrate movies. the academy of motion picture arts and sciences is participating in their third annual global movie day today. the celebration will be held online across its social channels with exclusive content from hollywood stars, you can participate by sharing photos and videos on social media using

the hashtag global movie day . answer questions like what movie is best experienced in the movie theaters? so think about that today. guys. any oscar -- i was going to ask oscar movies you're looking forward to. >> are you hoping that "dune"? i was obsessed with the books and the movie. that's one if you need to go to a theater like that's the one to see. >> you and dan had a bro date. >> we did. very, very sweet. we had a little man date together. yes. we didn't share popcorn. thanks for bringing that up. >> you're welcome. >> we do have to turn to our "gma" cover story here. wordle. this is the daily game sensation that's become a phenomenon and now it's being credited for helping to save an 80-year-old grandma from a hostage situation. zohreen shah has the remarkable story. >> reporter: this morning 80-year-old denyse holt grateful to be alive after a harrowing

20-hour hostage situation. her rescue coming after her daughter says she did not post her wordle score. >> i wake up every day to her wordle score. >> reporter: but on sunday jennifer did not get that response. >> i was really bothered by it. >> reporter: her gut was right. after midnight on sunday, police say an intruder broke into her mom's home. see meanwhile while you ladies were worrying, denise, what was happening in your home? >> a few feet away from me i see a man coming into my bed -- near my bedroom. climbing in bed with me. >> reporter: the former middle school teacher knew she had to stay calm. >> i don't know why i decided to get calm, but i did. and he was saying i'm going to die. >> reporter: denise said the man threatened her with some kind of sharp object then forcing the grandmother to stand in the shower near him. >> i said to him, listen, you are the captain. i'm on your team. we will do whatever you say. >> reporter: she had no idea over a thousand miles away her

daughter suspected something was off calling police for a wellness check and a friend to go over who told them the shocking news. >> it's impossible to process that when someone is telling you your mother is in an ambulance and there are -- there's a s.w.a.t. team, and she was held hostage. >> reporter: the wordle superplayers are thinking nonstop of one five-letter word now. >> lucky is how i have described this whole experience. >> reporter: an experience with one very important takeaway. >> they wanted to get the message out that you should stay in touch with your family. >> reporter: the alleged intruder is facing home invasion and kidnapping charges. okay, so the day that this happened, the wordle word of the day was skill and these three ladies certainly had it. the skill to stay calm, the skill to know that something just was not right.

okay, so for those who still have no idea what on earth this game is, okay, so it is a game where you get six tries to guess a five-letter word. every day there is one new word. i know it sounds nerdy and boring but i can tell you from experience, it is highly addictive. a lot of people agree. "the new york times" just bought wordle for over a million dollars. i play every single day. i share my results with my friends. i can certainly tell you i will be keeping a very close eye now if one of them does not reply. >> part of that obsession, zohreen, thank you so much. we do appreciate it. gio, over to you. >> just an amazing story. thank you, whit. now to the latest on the pandemic. that major reversal, federal regulators delaying their review of the pfizer vaccine for kids under 5 to gather more data on a potential third dose. now, this pause comes just as some states lift mask mandates and while many are taking off those masks, others are doubling down wanting even more filtration. kn95s have been the most available high filtration masks

for sale but becky worley has a warning about a glut of fake ones on the market now. >> reporter: according to the cdc these critical pieces of protection may not be offering the filtration they promise. the agency site listing masks it says are not approved and might not offer adequate protection. kn95s are supposed to filter out 95% of very small particles but aaron collins says he's tested many supposed kn95's that only fil filter 30% of particles. >> so counterfeit respirators are a big issue. it's almost exclusively in the kn-95 space so seeing a lot of fakes in that space underperforming masks. >> reporter: add to that a 2020 report that stated 60% to 70% of kn95 masks did not meet u.s. regulatory standards. is and this has consumers asking, i think all these masks are legitimate, but how do i really know? >> there are a lot of things

people could look for in a counterfeit mask that are red flags. >> reporter: the starting point. >> you have to make sure the manufacturer is reputable. >> reporter: she says buy directly from their website. also look at the packaging for any misspellings or weird phrasing. experts say look for quality control issues. is the nose piece centered and sewn in properly. are the ear loops strongly affixed? which look pretty good on this one but self-described mask nerd aaron collins says it's tough. >> are you at 98% or 30%. this becomes a real problem because you don't know what the quality of the mask is and can't tell by looking at it. >> reporter: aaron says he prefers kf94s which he says are highly regulated by the korean government. many of which strangely come from beauty importers. like be healthy usa, also kollecte. he also says dn't buy from online super stores, instead order from sites like project n95 that he says verifies their

masks. for "good morning america," becky worley, oakland, california. >> such good tips there. >> we were talking about how much we like ours. >> the kf94s just talking about that. >> becky, thank you for that. let's go to cheryl scott back with more weather from wls. >> yes, it's cold in chicago today but still mild on the east coast and will start you with a video from ocean city, new jersey, from surf line showing you this. i won't be surprised if a few people will be taking advantage of area beaches up and down the east coast today because we're talking temperatures 20 degrees above average. 50s up to new england, down to the south we have high temperatures in the 70s. new york near record high today and it's going to get much colder as we go into the day tomorrow. windchills, we're going to cut those numbers in half today.

>> the best part of the weekend, isn't it? "binge this," janai norman. >> i'm happy to suggest switching out the "binge this" air horn for eva's violin maybe. could we maybe have her play the violin? okay, time for "binge this." big stars, big throwbacks, we have it all and here to break it down is patrick gomes, he's the executive editor of "entertainment weekly." patrick, thanks so much for being here with us. we're saying, i do, to a brand new romcom. give us the inside scoop on that. >> yes, we've got jennifer lopez back in the rom-com. she's in a very meta role. she plays one of the world's largest pop stars set to marry another one of the world's largest pop stars played by maluma. minutes before their wedding which is supposed to take place at a live concert in front of millions things fall apart. and so instead, jennifer lopez's character decides to marry a single dad from the audience

played by owen wilson. none is a spoiler and happens in the first few minutes of the film and there's a lot going on here but jennifer lopez has not lost any of that rom-com magic that we've come to know and love from her. for decades starting with "the wedding planner," i got a chance to see the film, and the soundtrack is incredible. it's a lot more pop than we're used to but really fun and had the songs stuck in my head for weeks. definitely something you can check out in theaters as well as at home streaming. it's a good time. just makes you smile. how could it not, j. lo in a rom-com. >> you know, that's a very important point, patrick, that you can watch in theaters or at home. it's a meta role saying anything is meta takes on a whole new meaning these days. so before mary j. blige takes the stage at the big game tomorrow night she's dropping new music. tell us about that. >> sure, well, if 2017's "strength of a woman" was her breakup album talking about the dissolution of her 15-year marriage, this new album titled "good morning gorgeous" is the

woman who came out on the other side and as she might say is looking for no more drama. the lead single you're hearing titled "amazing" produced by dj khaled. this big party jam but most of the rest of the album is a lot more introspective. it features duets with anderson .paak, neo, usher dealing with love and loss and moving on and what dating is like at 51 which is crazy to say that is what mary j. blige is going on her fourth decade in this industry and still impressing us and i'm sure that will be the case at the halftime show as well. >> i could not agree more. she's incredibly introspective. this is weird. i just realized i was wearing this dress when i presented on "gma" talking about the interview i did with her. we had a great conversation so i'm a huge fan of mary j. blige. patrick, if you can't get enough of the fabulous figure skating at the olympics and all the back story you've got serious throwbacks for us. >> yeah, for those of you that have figure skating fever and

just can't get enough we have two throwbacks that speak to two different generations. first 1992's "the cutting edge" with mora kelly who i loved on "the west wing." a disgraced figure skater who can't seem to find a partner to work with her and paired with a former olympic hockey player and if you haven't seen the film i think you can imagine that both some tension as well as maybe a little romance ensues. if you haven't seen it check that out. it's available on streaming. then the next one that i'll talk about is a 2005 film called "the ice princess" starring michelle trachtenberg, a bookworm who has a passion for figure skating and wants to pursue it and those around her don't think she should do it and stars hayden panettiere, joan cusack and for those missing samantha in the

"sex and the city" revival "and just like that," it has kim cattrall available on disney plus streaming as well. >> if by those of you who are missing samantha in the reboot you meant everyone in the world, thank you so much, patrick. you can pick up this month's issue of "entertainment weekly" on newsstands nationwide. >> there's "blades of glory" with will ferrell. chaz michael michael for figure skating fans out there. bonus binge. thank you. coming up here the rams/bengals rivalry is heating up in the kitchen. chef jason goldstein scoring a bowl snacks and our super bowl - kid correspondent reporting for duty, there she is. we are checking in with aubrey up ahead. yeah. see you around. i knew that was the last time i'd see tom. the truth is, i was spending too much online jake from state farm. don't give up what you love. state farm has options like bundling home and auto, so you get a rate that fits your budget.

now, when the obvious choice for this romantic dinner date look is a feminine midi dress. let's play up the cheesiness of the holiday with pink and red hues and, of course, add a fun lip to accessorize the look. now, my tip is when wearing a bold printed feminine dress, it's to balance it out with masculine and edgier elements. invest in your wardrobe and buy leather pieces. a moto jacket is a great key piece in balancing out that feminine wardrobe. as well as these chain detail leather combat boots and, of course, this quilted leather bag both by vince ka camuto. >> accessories are everything. what about your styling tips for people looking forward to a cozy night in? >> yes, well, we have a real

live couple, reny and aliza swapping out the candle lit restaurant dinner date for a romantic at home meal at home. now, if you're ever looking for pajama set, this is your red - opportunity. aliza is wearing a sleek pajama set by sleeper, and reny is rocking a casual cashmere set. now, this year let's make it a black-tie affair and add a white button down and a black tie for a little twist on the at home elevated casual look. now, when wearing statement p.j.s i opt for minimal accessories like a cozy twist on the classic leather white sneaker and, of course, the simple leather two-strap mules. now, don't forget to add that bold red lip to elevate the at home look. >> i'm desperately trying to see the monitor so see this. >> please send reny our love and

aliza for modeling this. >> i could never get my husband to wear the same thing even at home. okay, so what's good for the in between outfit for people celebrating on their own or with a night with friends? >> yes, well, dana is wearing my favorite style. now, listen, when putting together your foolproof look don't overcomplicate things. when the occasion calls for a more casual ensemble with your friends, take the pressure off and dress up your denim. simple is sexy and in my opinion there is nothing sexier than a pair of your favorite old navy jeans and a t-shirt. add a punchy pink blazer to your look to balance it out. of course add a trendy pair of square toe heels and of course your fun zebra printed bag. vince camuto has you completely covered in that department. add a black ribbon in your hair, add a smile and, of course,

enjoy your no strings attached night out, but, remember, no matter your plans, there is no reason you can't be your own valentine. >> well, thank you, laura. you can see these styles on our website, goodmorningamerica.com. we'll be right back. my name is douglas. i'm a writer/director and i'm still working. in the kind of work that i do, you are surrounded by people who are all younger than you. i had to get help somewhere along the line
