globe and report on stories she cares a lot about and loves. >> nobody's better at it than she is. >> let's just take a listen to her this morning. >> this is not easy to say, but today is going to be my last morning as a regular co-host of "today." i will still be a part of the "today" show family, but i'll have a new title and new role. this is not as i ever expected to leave this couch after 15 years, but i am so grateful, especially to all of you who watch. >> she's a class act. >> she talked about the family. we're glad she is going to stay a part of our family. >> we love having ann around. >> i wish her all the joy she deserves. because she does. she finds great joy in doing things i can't even imagine doing. >> and going places. >> and going places. she's very courageous and very dedicated to what she does. she is going to bring great stories from all over the world.

>> she is. she's fearless. i know a lot of you guys ask about this and we are here to deliver some good news. our mugs. you know how you wanted them? >> you begged for them! >> you can't get them yet. you can preorder them on the nbc universal store.com. they should be in stock in mid-july. >> at the nbc experience store. >> what takes so long? >> that's not the question. the question is why do you want them? why? who wants to look at that one. >> that's not great. >> the cartoon one. >> how much are they? >> $14. >> did we say that already? >> i just did. >> that's expensive -- for a mug? >> is it? >> yes. it is. okay. >> i have nothing to say about it. we don't get a penny out of it. if you like us and you want to drink out of us, who are we to judge? we're very happy that you do.

it does make a lovely gift. >> so there is breaking news when it comes to weight loss. this is a really big deal. it made "nightly news" as one of their top stories. the fda approved a new weight loss pill. there has not been a pill on the market since fen-phen which was 13 years ago or so. which -- >> there were major problems with phen-fen. >> yeah. this one is called belviq. you have to be at least 30 pounds overweight. you have to take the pill -- i guess the rub is, you have to take the pill and then diet and exercise, so what's the point of that? >> so it's not great news. >> it's so-so news. >> it helps you, apparently, lose about 3% of your starting weight within a year. >> so more than would you normally lose. >> but here's the thing. if you just started exercising and eating right, you would probably lose more than 3%. >> dr. nancy said to be cautious about this drug. with any pill, what is it for

every action there is an equal and opposite reaction? >> good for you, hodi. >> i learned that in high school. there are going to be obviously some side effects. >> well, somebody who's done it the old-fashioned way that we know is on the cover of "people" magazine this week. paula deen has lost -- look at her, she looks great. she lost 30 pounds. >> you know what's funny? she lost it where no one can lose it, in your belly. it's so hard to lose your tummy. >> you stop drinking alcohol and you lose it in your belly. >> really? >> notice mine hasn't changed in a long time. good for her. she is admitting now she was not right about all that -- >> she's diabetic, right? >> she is. she got creamed from the press waiting three years to tell everybody about it. we are happy for her. when she is here, just lights up the studio. she is a doll. so good for her. >> i'm glad she's on the cover of "people."

>> yeah. for something good as opposed to something -- >> something not so great. >> something your mother is embarrassed by. so there is a controversy brewing. there was a woman who worked in a restaurant, okay? i guess the restaurant wanted more foot traffic. they asked all the waitresses to wear skimpier outfits, tighter skirts. she felt uncomfortable. she said i don't want to wear that skimpy skirt. i didn't sign on for hooters. so too bad. well, they took her hours and cut her hours way back. >> they did not force her to wear the skirt, but they did cut her hours way back. >> right. so she ended up quitting because she couldn't make a living. so now she's suing claiming sexual harassment, wrongful termination and unpaid wages. they're saying she quit and we're not paying her, the people from the restaurant. >> usually i don't like anything that smacks of a lawsuit that is just not justified, but in this case, she'd already been working there for a long time. you don't change the rules midstream on people and get mad

at them if they don't love the new rules. especially if you have a personal aversion to something like -- she wants to be a modest woman. somebody seems to have a little kinky thing about little skirts, school girl things. i would be uncomfortable with it, too, unless i had really great legs. >> and then i'd say yes. sign me up! >> no, no. i'm on her side for this one. i think she's justified. they're saying, we didn't fire her, she quit, but if you can't make a living, what's the point? >> people do that to you. they cut you back so far you have no choice. >> yeah. because they don't like to pay, what's it called? >> unemployment? >> yes. >> that stuff. >> now, if you've ever seen one of those men with a unibrow and you think, why don't they just pluck the middle, it gets in the way? well, it's about to be trendy. a university of kentucky basketball player named anthony davis is in talks to trademark his unibrow.

we can't see it there, but we will get in closer. look at it. look at it! >> oh, my gosh, is that real? >> yes. he has a saying. >> a little like little richard. >> it's called "fear the brow," "raise the brow." >> that is ridiculous. >> i think it's really attractive. i think it's going to catch on. why wouldn't it? it's so attractive. and thk of the time you'll save. i must spend three, four hours a week plucking. no, really. >> he is supposed to be the number one pick in the nba. so this may be a trend and you may be one of those trendsetters. >> he does say i don't want anyone to try to grow a unibrow. guys, you're going so fast i can't read it. he said, i don't want anyone to try to grow a unibrokaw because of me and try to make money off it. me and my family decided to trademark it because it's very unique. >> what do you mean? >> it's not unique! this would be me in one week if i didn't do it. >> it's called lazy. >> lazy.

>> i do kind of like it. let us know what you think. >> i can't look at you. this i do not like. >> are you leaving that on? >> yes. kesha has a new lip tattoo. >> it's not on the outside of your lip. if you pull your lip down on the inside of your lip she has a tattoo that says "suck it." that is nasty. >> yeah. >> what do you think? >> that's about the classiest thing i've ever heard. you know? >> you know, how about when she's 80? >> it will say -- these things wear off. >> frank had one that used to say "giff" now it says -- should i take it off? >> take it off. >> is it turning you on? that's all i need to hear. >> are you serious?

>> i won't need this. there is a company that now sells an anti-adultery ring. no one is going to come near me. i don't need this ring. explain what happens. >> it's a regular, looks like a wedding band. on the inside the words "i'm married" are -- you see them under there? >> yeah. >> so if you wear the ring for, you know, a day and then some people like to slip their ring off when they go out to a bar in the evening. look how it leaves the impression. please look at the imprint. look at what i'm looking at. see what i'm looking at? >> two can play this game, you know? i think i'm going to trademark this very unique look. >> what are you calling it? >> i don't know. >> that is not great. >> i'm going to think about it because we are on to something. >> we are? we've got to have music. it's time. >> it's thirstday thursday. >> we'll get to the other topics, but why not do this? this is so much fun. it's a country song, it's by dirks bentley.
