couple. this as their oldest son making news of his own. prince william and princess kate have found their permanent home. they have been staying in a two-bedroom apartment in kensington palace. upgrade is pretty nice. where are they off to? their digs, ahead. a real jolt for the nation's heartland. a powerful earthquake rocked oklahoma on saturday. the largest in the state's history, and the fourth quake since friday. the most recent registers 5.6 and startled a lot of people as you might imagine. much more coming up. >> a lot of quakes in places we don't normally see them. the grittier side of celebrity life. remember the tours that took people by celebrity homes. and tmz changes the fork us from stars to scan sdals. showcases nightclubs where stars have having fun and sometimes getting in trouble. that coming up. check out who stopped by our

studios. mr. cosby. dr. cosby. we had fun with him, especially at my expense. what did he say, how did he say it, how long did he stay? all of that coming up. if you spent time with him -- i'm sure you spent time with him over the year -- you can't have an agenda. >> never give him a gift on television. >> we'll see why, coming up. saturday night's gop debate between herman cain and newt gingrich. what he to say, or not say actually about the sexual harassment charges against him. mike viqueira with more. >> reporter: the election happens one year exactly from today. with the first votes cast in iowa in their caucuses in less than two months, herman cain is lashing out at the media. called the media nit picking and dishonest as he tries to survive the controversy swirling around him. it was a one-on-one face-off of

competing conservatives. >> we are have to come up with solutions. >> reporter: newt gingrich rising in the polls. >> you cannot micromanage health care costs out of washington, d.c. >> reporter: and herman cain, now struggling amid charges of sexual harassment. no talk of scandal allowed. only after the debate when cain met the press that things got testy. >> i was going to do something that my staff told me not to do and respond. what i'm saying is this. we are getting back on message. >> thank you, mr. cain. >> back on message. end of story. back on message. read all of the other accounts. read all of the other accounts, when everything has been answered. end of story. back on message, okay? >> reporter: despite a weak of controversy. cain's campaign says donations have increased four fold. michele bachmann launched an

attack. >> everyone loves him. who doesn't? he has a great personality. but this is t fivehe gop hopefuls present aid unified front at a dinner honoring ronald reagan. >> you might say, newt, we're involved in a project called operation occupy the white house. >> is that better? >> reporter: with the republican field unsettled and iowa's first in the nation caucus now less than two months away, experts say the race could go down to the wire. >> until iowa republicans focus on a true decision, not who they like now, not who excites them now, he may have a distorted view of what iowa republicans want. >> reporter: lester, while herman cain's has held steady since this controversy broke a week ago today, a new poll out last night from reuters shows some slippage. the percentage of republicans who view cain favorably dropped

9% in the past week to 57%. and dropped 5% to 32% among all registered voters, so it appears -- it's too early to tell, lester -- whether he can survive this. it appears this controversy is taking its toll, and he is losing some support at this point. >> lester. >> mike, thanks very much. david gregory is moderator of "nbc's meet the press." good morning to you. >> good morning, lester. >> we saw in that report cain clearly doesn't want to talk and wants to move past all this controversy. neither apparently do his accusers. they're not speaking publicly. is it beginning to look like committee weather this storm? >> well, he might be able to for a couple of reasons. one, if none of the accusers want to go forward and sort of continue this, it doesn't mean that new revelations will not come out. there are still reporters looking into this. i think when he has had such a difficult week getting his story straight saying if you look at the responses, that's enough, and i'm done. i want to talk about other things. i think that could be difficult. here's the other point, lester. he has created this alternate

universe where he uses this controversy, in effect, to say to his supporters, you see, this is -- this is what the media does. this is what, you know, the establishment does. they're out to get me, because i'm the frontrunner. remember clarence thomas. he does all of that together and attempts to galvanize his core support, but here's the other question. can he get above that 25%? can he really get new people to take a look at him after all this? >> well, let's say it's not hurting him right now. is it hurting, for example, mitt romney who is not getting any attention during all this? >> well, it hurts -- i don't think it hurts mitt romney. mitt romney is happy to have herm ain cain getting this kind of attention. it's still sort of detracting from the idea that it was supposed to be a perry-romney race. they're not -- the romney campaign privately and publicly are not saying anything disparaging about herman cain. why? they don't think is he electable. they think this is flirtatious and not marriage. who it's bothering is the white house because they think this is getting in the way of romney getting roughed up by his

rivals. >> well, of course, the president's approval rating is starting to rise a little bit after hitting some historic lows for his presidency. has this bought him some time, though? the focus on the republicans right now? has it bought him time to get a strong message to go against republicans? >> well, i think the president has to hope that this is a bruising enough primary fight that whoever the nominee is comes out more weakened and more vulnerable to a choice kind of election rather than a referendum. by that i mean once the president gets into a one-on-one situation, his top people are saying he is going to go very hard at tearing down the republican nominee. why? the president doesn't want to run on his record per se. look how pessimistic the country is. look how many people think the country is off on the wrong track. 9% unemployment. a million out of work. this is not a record to run on per se. it is to say, look, i had to make tough choices, and the other guys are no better wrash that's going to be the strategy. >> i know you are continuing on your meet the candidate series this morning. who do you have on? >> we're going to talk to john

huntsman, a more moderate republican in the race who is really betting everything on new hampshire. the question is can he really start to take the fate to mitt romney, which i think is something he wants to do. >> all right. we'll see you in a bit. david gregory, thanks vemp. >> thanks, lester. craig melvin at the news desk with more of the morning's headlines. craig, good morning to you. >> lester, good morning. good morning to you, as well, know. we start with breaking news in baghdad this morning. police say three bombs killed at least eight people in broad daylight today at a busy market in the central part of iraq's capital. 21 others are wounded at the beginning of a muslim religious festival there. amanda knox's ex-boyfriend is speaking out for the first time since he and knox were cleared of murder in ilgsy. he says he wishes knox all the happiness in the world, but their tragic ordeal was too much for their romantic relationship to endure. the couple spent nearly four years in prison until their original guilty verdicts were dramatically overturned last month. people in central oklahoma

schultz testified the allegations were not that serious, and that he and curly had no indication that a crime had occurred. and when asked whether the graduate assistant had reported sexual conduct of any kind by san dusky, curley answered no twice. curley and schultz are expected to turn themselves in on monday. >> this is a much more serious issue than other schools getting on probation for ncaa violations. we're talking about the law here. >> reporter: but outside court saturday san dusky's attorney man takened his innocence. >> he is shaky, as you can expect, being 67 years old and never having faced criminal charges in his life. >> reporter: in his statement curley's lawyer says "we will vigorously challenge the charges in court, and we are confident he will be exonerated." an attorney for schultz says he is an honorable and law-abiding man, father, and grandfather. he is innocent of these charges. the grand jury did not implicate penn state coach joe paterno, saying he reported the alleged

abecause to curley who was his boss. as it plays out in court, the scandal could now cloud the history of one of the country's most storied teams. for "today" kristen dahlgren, nbc news, los angeles. up next on "today" she made quite a splash in the race for 2008, so whatever happened to obama girl? we're going to find out right after this. race. t the s the whatever happened to obama girl. we'll find out. ly stages of cancer, and it's something that we're extremely proud of. you see someone who is saved because of this technology, you know that the things that you do in your life matter. if i did have an opportunity to meet a cancer survivor, i'm sure i could take something positive away from that.
