colorado springs neighborhood, flames consuming home after home after home, up to 60 feared destroyed, and the smoke plume towering feet into the air. >> as you can tell, weather is not working with us now. >> reporter: today more than 2,500 homes in danger and more than 5,000 people chased out by the flames. >> the smoke i could see it from the north side of denver. sorry, i'm shaking. >> larry evacuated with his family but returned to help his neighbor get a horse to safety. >> the horse was totally freaked out and tied him to the back of my truck and dragged him out. >> reporter: near canyon city, the royal gorge fire charred more than 3,000 acres, and the iconic royal bridge, one of the highest in the world. >> i question how both sides to

be burning and the bridge to survive. >> reporter: back at the black forest fire, many on scene and dozens of homes gone. 900 prisoners from the area were forced out of the area because of the blaze, while conditions are cool we are expecting high temperatures later today. matt? >> miguel almaguer in colorado this morning. thank you very much. and let's get to al with the fire danger and more severe weather on the way. >> the bad news is we are not going to get much help from the weather. this morning, sunny with light winds and this afternoon temperatures rise in the 90s. we are looking for it to become windy, and southerly winds 15 to 20 miles per hour, and wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour. this is bad, bad news. talking about bad news, let's

look at what is going as far as severe weather. we have severe storms firing up from minnesota into iowa, and they are moving into the east. we have a huge risk area right now to show you. a slight risk of strong storms from st. louis to washington, d.c., but we have a strong risk from davenport, iowa, into chicago, and columbus and peo a peoria, and we are talking about 18 million people affected by this, and the threat is not just for today and it moves east on into tomorrow. look at the next 24 hours. rainfall from 2 to 4 inches from chicago to pennsylvania, and tomorrow a risk of strong storms from jackson all the way up to bridgeport, connecticut, and look at where the strong risk is for tomorrow, washington, richmond and up to philadelphia and south of new york, and we are talking about hail, winds and rain and tornados.

and that means we will probably look at flood watches and warnings over the next 24 hours. >> we will check back with you in a moment. thank you. we are following breaking news in turkey overnight where anti-government protesters are engaging in a new round of violent clashes. richard engel, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. there is actually an uneasy calm right now, no gas in the air which is a good sign, and traffic even returned to the square. if you look down you see there is a heavy security presence, but unlike yesterday right now the riot police are standing guard and the question is will it last because there are protesters still here as well. a few thousands protesters stayed the night in the square through all the tear-gas and water cannons. >> it felt so terrible, like war, you know.

>> reporter: making it worse, it rained over night. still the protesters want to stay calling supporters to join them and repairing their tent and showing a resilience that has both surprised and infearrated the prime minister. with no khrfp clashes, radicals attacked several banks, and the commercial center looked wounded. the prime minister says the vandalism is proof he is battling troublemakers and not protesters with a cause, and he has showed no tolerance for them, ordering a crackdown on tuesday that looked to many observers to be heavy handed. for 24 hours riot police fired volley after volley of tear-gas. at one stage when the square was packed police charged into the

crowds causing a stampede, and some fell and many were injured. today the prime minister is meeting with protest leaders and earlier the turkish president appealed for calm. if the calm last the worst of this may be over. >> richard ev, thank you very m. here at home, questions being asked on capitol hill today as they search for a case against the man that leaked the information. >> there is growing pressure on the intelligence community, even from its supporters in congress. intelligence chair, diane feinstein, is at the head to declassify more information about the archiving of telephone records, and even as the aclu is suing the government claiming this is all an invasion of privacy. the head of the national

security agency returns to capitol hill today expected to face more tough questions from senators over the nsa leaks, as alleged leaker, edward snowden remains on the run. >> we are watching the programs carefully. >> the senate intelligence committee is pushing to declassify the program and demanding answers from the chief for denying records were collected. >> it's not possible for congress to do the kind of vigorous oversight that the president spoke about if you can't get straight answers. >> three tech companies, google, microsoft and facebook announced tuesday they are asking the government for permission to give them the numbers they want to comply. and as for snowden, the fbi is

trying to build a case against him and to determine whether he had help. >> i think what they are trying to figure out is how much access he had and how much his administrator privileges allowed him to look into the cyst pump. >> meanwhile nbc news confirmed his dancer, lindsay mills, is the girl tpretkpwurgirlfriend hn hawaii. >> he always had strong convictions of right and wrong, and it kind of makes sense, but -- still shocked. >> and then there is this, in the last few days, amazon sales of george orwell's 1980 has zoomed by 6,000%. >> we will have more on edward snowden's girlfriend coming up as well. and meantime, natalie has new developments with the scandal that has been a black

eye for the military. >> yes, the growing number of sexual assaults in the military has been rejected by key members of congress that says the proposal goes too far. kelly o'donnell has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, natalie. this was always a controversial idea but it got the support of 27 senators, including one senator that tells me it's a real set back. >> her proposal would have made a dramatic change, taking the immediate commanders out of the process, and deciding when serious crimes including sexual misconduct should go to trial, instead she argued outside military prosecutors should decide, and the democrat in charge of the committee, carl levin, is dropping that idea as he and other senators degree

with the top brass saying that would undermined their ability to enforce order and discipline within the ranks. devin says he will offer an offer to have other leaders review the cases of abuse. >> we need to know how many men and women are being raped and sexually assaulted on annual basis, and we have no idea right now. >> only 3600 victims actually reported the attacks. >> having somebody within your direct chain of command handling the case just doesn't make sense. >> the senator shared her frustration here on "today." >> i think when you have the cases occurring over and over again, and there is no response and there is no accountability for these kinds of rapes and crimes it allows the culture to

continue, and that why we think we need dramatic change. >> the options left are not many, and they can try to put it forward some months from now, and those on the committee say they want to see changes that will help to curb this serious problem have to figure out a way to do that. nelson mandela is in the hospital for a fifth day today. he remains in serious but stable condition according to government officials. the 94-year-old mandela is undergoing treatment for a recurring lung infection. lawmakers are getting down to business today as they said about fixing the path to citizenship in this country. 82 senators agreed immigration is a broken system but partisan disputes over the bill that would repair it are dividing

politicians. rubio says it hinges on finding appropriate border security measures. a mother and her baby are lucky to be alive this morning after an out-of-control cab jumped the curb and nearly mowed them both down in the bronx on tuesday. the mother pulled her child from under the cab. the 68-year-old driver passed out behind the wheel and later was pronounced dead. both mother and daughter were treated for scrapes and bruises at the hospital, but as you can see, the little one is in amazingly good condition. >> thank goodness she is okay. >> yeah, but a sad story about the driver. we had rain, and tomorrow another 3 to 5 inches? >> yeah, the u.s. open outside of philadelphia -- >> oh, that's right. >> big trouble. let's show you what else we have

got you for today. a risk of strong storms back through the plains. expecting wet weather in the pacific northwest, and the southern third of the country is going to be scorching. look for hundreds in the southwest. los angeles, 77. your local forecast coming up. he's just super, because he's my dad here's to the original superman, from sears and shop your way. 7:14. you played to wednesday. father's day weekend around the corner. it's going to be heiss near. a live book, clear start over the bay bridge and the golden

gate bridge. we don't have low clouds to report. temperatures are going to be comfortable. 81 degrees on the way to places like livermore, 74 fremont. 76 san jose. getting into that all-important father's day weekend, temperatures climb into friday and then cool you off saturday into saturday. 76 degrees of dad's day inland. and that's your latest weather. savannah? >> the suspect in the kidnapping case in cleveland appeared in court a short time ago. and our national correspondent is at the courthouse this morning. jeff, what happened? >> reporter: good morning to you. it was a short hearing last pbing only a minute, and prosecutors did layout their case against him and it's hefty. they are charging him with 329 counts including kidnapping, rape and murder. but the big question this morning, will prosecutors seek

the death penalty? just moments ago, castro faced the judge, appearing in an orange jump suit pleading not guilty to all charges, and they are hinting they may be open to a plea deal. >> we are sensitive to the emotional impact and strain the trial would have on the women, their families and the community. mr. castro currently faces hundreds of years in prison with the current charges and it's our hope we can continue to work towards a resolution to avoid having an unnecessary trial. >> reporter: fbi investigators back at castro's house gathering evidence, and inside they say castro tortured these women for a decade, and they called him a sexual violent predator and

charging him with 177 counts of kidnapping and 139 counts of rape and one act of aggravated murder for impregnanting michelle knight and causing her to miscarry. >> how do you prove there was a pregnancy to begin with, and how do you prove castro caused the death of the fetus? >> do you think the prosecutor will go for the death penalty? >> i think he is going to go for it in this one. >> reporter: what about the victims? since their dramatic homecomings all three women are said to be happy and healing. gina de-jesus wants to get her driver's license and go back to school. >> they are looking at

apartments and they are moving on with their life, which is what everybody wants for them. >> reporter: just a few moments ago the statement was given that we are hopeful for a just division. >> as we just heard, castro pleaded not guilty at least for moment, and what is your cut as an experienced lawyer. do you think this will result in a plea deal? >> how can he plea not guilty? are you kidding me? there's zero chance he will be acquitted. this is to preserve his rights to get a plea deal. >> the charges we have been promised by the prosecutor will cover the entirety of the captivity and the charges in the indictment so far take us to the year 2007, and is that a matter of symbolism or is there perhaps strategy behind him?

>> the charges only go up to 2007 and so much has happened since then. what the prosecutor is trying to do is gather all the evidence with these women and i would expect more charges to come covering the entire time period. >> the murder charge is what makes it a death penalty eligible case, and we don't know what the prosecutor decided about that yet. and we just heard from the lawyer that physical evidence does that appear to be present here, but is there enough to secure a conviction? >> their testimony in a court of law is evidence and three of them together are going to corroborate each other's stories and present powerful evidence. it would be unusual for the death penalty to be given when the mother survived. >> these three women decided not

to make any public comment until castro goes through the court process. is that a smart idea? >> it's absolutely a smart idea, because any statements they make now can and will be used against them. >> thank you so much. coming up, the new details ae phurp emerging about the girlfriend of the leaker. and how your brain responds to distractions behind the wheel.

infotainment systems are becoming more distracting. >> do you use these systems in your car? >> is tom going to go to the book club thursday? have to know the answer to that. >> please go to the book club. >> please wear your helmet. >> we used the same test and unfortunately no brain waves. >> a good story and good reminder. >> add a couple of screaming kids in the backseat. >> absolutely. coming up next, a new warning about rip currents you need to hear before your family heads to the beach this summer. >> and on trending, a story that has my full attention. how many people do you think actually wash their hands the proper way after using a restroom? we'll talk about that. but first, these messages. ♪ i've got the power people lose five times more weight following the weight watchers approach than trying on their own. you can, too. ♪ ♪ you've got the power

expert. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i'm sure in some ways this feels like justice. you have that example of the woman who thinks she hears the guy talking about cheating on his wife. but is it -- what does it say about us. is it appropriate to do something like that. >> at the end of the day, i completely understand why you would want to. it's not a good idea. it turns into a job justice and these vigilante wanted posters. it never goes anywhere good. >> you don't always know the full context. you think you do. for all we know we're doing a dramatic reading about a play about daughtry or something. >> you're hoping. you're exactly right. you don't know the context. you're not going to be able to police someone else's behavior. or all the people out there who are angered and why they mike take that. >> we asked whether they thought it was appropriate to do this online shaming or calling out. a majority of them thought it

was okay. does that surprise you? >> it doesn't surprise me. i understand where it comes from. but the thing is this is the time to pause and think about what's going to happen next. if someone is committing a crime, report it to authorities. we hear the story about it later. but taking it in your own hands, i think everybody's judgment is just too up in the air what happened. >> if you think you see something that crosses into the level of a crime or something, the proper thing to do is, i assume, go to authorities and to facebook. >> etiquette safety law abiding all goes hand in hand. >> it's a good discussion to have. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> now here's matt. all right, savannah. now something everyone with a checking account needs to hear. huge overdraft fees. they earn banks about $12.6 billion in 2011 alone. the average customer shells out $225 in charges every year. personal finance expert carmen

has taken a close look at this report. nice to see you. >> good morning. >> this is a big percentage of the revenues these banks are making on checking accounts. 61% coming from overdraft penalties or the fees they charge to sign up for automatic protection. >> what's scary is the majority of people who are paying these fees are people who can't afford these fees. more than half of the folks paying for overdraft make less than $50,000 a year. >> the irony here is you're being charged extra money at the time you obviously don't have any extra money. >> it's just a small amount of money. the majority of times people get charged overdraft, they're pulling out $20 and the overdraft fee is more than this. >> you can opt into a program that automatically covers you if you overdraw your checking account. did this study say it's a good idea or a bad idea? >> what the study said is it's an idea that costs a lot of

money. you pay hundreds of dollars less in fees but also involuntary closures. banks will close people's accounts involuntary which puts them into the nonbanking system, payday loans. again, these are folks with lower incomes. >> a lot of people don't even know they're in the program so they're paying the fees month to month. tips from you. don't opt in. keep tank quarter full. >> we do it with our cars. make sure there's gas in there. then you get gas. not when it's on e. same with your account. make sure you have a slush fund, $50 to $100 so you don't overdraft. >> sign up for low balance alerts. >> if your budget is so tight do this by hand. pay your bills by hand. time it so you know where your balances are and make sure you don't swipe too much. >> thanks, carmen. we're back right after this.

golden gate bridge. we hold on to the clear sky for most of the day. we see low clouds by about 7 p.m. 73 for free mont. nice day shaping up in the city by the bay. 65 degrees there. getting into the weekend temperatures change. we peak up to 88 degrees. we cool off saturday down to 83. 70s return for father's day. and that's your latest weather. >> can i say i have never seen you so interested and intrigued by a show concept. >> what's in the name? that's a great name for a show. savannah, you'll be getting married soon. a lot of people saying should wedding gifts, the traditional wedding gifts be things of the past. >> are you asking matt because you don't want to buy a gift. >> no, not at all. >> first this is today on nbc.

we're back now at 8:37 with today's professionals. here to tackle the stories that have you talking, star jones, donny and nancy snyderman. >> most people know the fundamentals of the story right now. edward snowden leaked classified documents uncovering this government surveillance program. simple question. is edward snowden a traitor who deserves to be published to the full extent of the law or is he a whistle blower who deserves the protection of the law. why don't i start with you the lawyer. >> he is a criminal. there's no question what so ever. when you sign on to this sort of job, you sign on knowing that you may not release classified information, period. you are a criminal. and whether or not you are a traitor or a whistle blower, is that to be determined by a courtroom. >> he says he thinks it's

important for people to know the program is in assistance and allow public debate on the program. >> it's important for ice to be in ice water but that's not the point. he is a criminal. >> he is a traitor with a capital t. they're not spying on 35 million americans or looking that i called you last night and said how was dinner. this is only if there's 70 calls to yemen. this protects us and the american public is not entitled to know everything the government is doing to protect us. this is reality. this is the new world and unfortunately this man made us a lot less safe because maybe potential the next terrorist attack we were going to get we might not get because know what is going on. >> i think it goes to something that's even more interesting and that is the number of contractors who aren't government workers who are hired because they're young and geeky and they are have computer

and the extended jackson family or perhaps to go back and live if debbie rowe were to seek custody, to live with debbie rowe. what's the best outcome in your opinion. >> as a parent i don't know. i can't make a statement and say the grandmother, the mother, who ever is the more loving responsible parent. that's who a kid should be with. >> does debbie rowe have any legal standing here? >> i would assume michael jackson had her give up all parental rights. if that is the fact, she does not have legal standing. the court will make the determination on the best interest of the child. >> california is a different place since the dad is not alive they give her a different voice. it's tough to be a 15-year-old and have parents that are high profile and a dysfunctional high profile family. >> do you think paris jackson is in a place where as a teen she

will grow out of these troubles or do you have concern. >> the spotlight is too hard on this child right now. >> i'm skipping ahead to our fourth topic, there's this, the tradition of giving wedding gifts when two people get married. someone in an article called in to question this because people are getting married at an older age. no longer are they 18 or 19-year-old kids that need everything to establish a household and life like china and silverware. most people have certain things like that by the time they get married. should we do away with giving wedding gifts. >> savannah is laughing. she is getting married. you get nothing, nothing, nothing. >> clearly she is very into it. >> i think the older the marriage is the more inappropriate it is for 23-year-olds getting this stuff

for people older than 23 like savannah hugs and charity, something like that. >> i agree. >> if you are a wedding guest you do what the bride wants you to do. simple and plain. i like the fact that you're having a groom but you do what the bride wants you to do. you get two. whatever you want baby, that's what we're going to do. >> you choose the snuggie you're getting. >> what would you tell people. >> i don't want to out myself but we have talked about this and i think we're going to ask people to give -- we're going to pick charities that mean something to us. >> that's a classy thing to do. >> class lives on at the "today" show. >> coming up the right way to complain and get what you want and carl will join us, but

check. i weave all of that in. >> it's a good mix. a little mystery, a little suspense, humor. >> when you live down there you have to learn to half at it. if you took it all seriously, you would be depressed. it never ends. >> you're still a comic for the miami harold. i got a kick out of the one for the irs scandal. talk about the gift that gives on giving. >> when you saw the footage of the cupid line dancers and the star trek parody you have to laugh at it because our money is being spent so i wrote an article but it falls into your lap. this is one way that people overcome the anger is satire and you laugh at it. >> you laugh so you don't cry, right? >> no, you never cry. >> give us your summer read recommendation. >> well, the first one is a book called the redeemer.

over the years it's been women juggling it all, helping children with the homework and taking care of the house and working. >> but there's a shift. dads are much more hands on with the kids and they're getting a taste of what moms have done for decades. >> and here to talk to us is the author of the available parent, good to see you guys. redbook magazine does a poll. 40% of moms describe their husbands as extremely hands on dads. some said they were striving to be more involved. why do you think this is happening now. >> it's probably due to the women's movement. you have changing gender rolls. women are moved into the work place and are now well established in the work place and naturally men are moving into the parenting domain as well and it's all wonderful. as you say, it's all terrific to

see gender roles shifting this way. >> and men want into the parenting domain. they want to be part of that connection with their kids. >> and this goes both ways doesn't it? the father feels like i should be at work pursuing my career. i have an obligation to my job but there's a baseball game tonight too so you get pulled in two directions. >> the average amount of time a man works is 47 hours a week. so if he wants to be a part of their lives and be there for daily events there's a terrible push/pull and that's what the studies are finding. that 60% of men say they feel major conflict between work and family. >> so the daddy guilt is there as well. it becomes divide and conquer. who goes to the soccer games or who goes to whatever. advice to parents and tips on how they can basically do that, fulfill those roles but not experience the daddy guilt. >> it's really tricky but one is

very pragmatic. keep touch with the schedule. a lot of dads don't know what the calendar is for their kids and in the 11th hour they're like i didn't know there was a recital tonight and now i can't make it. there's guilt with that. keep track with mom that you're doing your job as a dad. i changed a diaper and did a little laundry that seems about half and sometimes we miss that boat but most importantly i think you have to protect time to be with your kids. you're not going to get all the moments you want so take the moments you get. be fully present, leave work and that is the most important thing you can do to alleviate that guilt. >> but are offices, the work environment are they catching up with this idea? are they open to dads trying to be more flexible and getting out of the office earlier to make that event. >> technology is helping with this and offices are realizing that you can work from home effectively but it's not moving

fast enough and most women and men have to argue for and prove that they can be, you know, there doing their job even if they are also on the way to a soccer match or doing other things that their parenting responsibilities require. >> i find it's helpful to schedule time with your kids. i'll take my daughter out to dinner and we'll have a daddy date. you have to get those things on the calendar. >> brilliant idea. absolutely. >> find the moment and make the most of those moments. >> friday i have to leave early because seriously nikki has a play. >> there you go. >> just a note adam. i'm leaving at 9:30. >> and jonathan's program is today so i'm leaving right after the show for that. what do you want to do? you take over. see you. thanks guys. great advice. still to come, we'll show you how to complain to get what you want. how to complain effectively and later, are you looking for somewhere to take dad for

nothing in the chp to report. this is southbound 880. looks like something just happened just south of this shot. avoid 880 southbound. once you get into south bay you are okay. 237 westbound a crash at first street. there is the rest of your south bay with northbound routes taming down. things calmed down. >> thank you very much. thank you for joining us. another local news update in just half an hour.

tv news after firing two long time producers, american idol is bringing in the producer of swedish idol to help the show. which should explain things when seacrest is like we'll see who's moving on right after the -- [ speaking foreign language ] >> made up swedish word. jimmy fallon. >> those little swedish meatballs at a ikea. >> i'm with al and natalie but you knew that already. coming up this half hour s the customer always right? we'll get pointers on how to complain the right way to get what you want. >> plus more than 33 million americans do it every year. we're talking about fishing. we thought we'd get on board.

great family activity for summer. we'll cover the basics. >> and giada de laurentiis is hoping to catch a bite or serve us a bite. >> she caught it. >> she should not be fishing ever. >> fishing in heels -- >> definitely not and little dress, not. although the guys aren't complaining. check of the weather mr. roker. >> let's start with today. a risk of strong storms especially from indiana on into illinois and parts of west virginia. we're also looking at a strong storm risk back through the plains. sunshine and heat in the southern half of the country. slight risk of strong storms with rain in the northeast. a slight risk of storms in the plains. sizzling from oklahoma, texas 9:31. good wednesday morning to you.

so close to the weekend mpth we are going to get soiled again. temperatures are comfortable. we are in the 60s. we warm you up to the 70s inland and we round out the day as mild as yesterday. temperatures will stay below the seasonal averages. as we head through the end of the week temperatures jump up to 88 degrees and then we cool you back down saturday into sunday. we just added willy. >> what are we talking about guys? >> have you ever had bad service at a restaurant? maybe you waited that four hour window for the cable guy, never shows? or an airline damaged your luggage and then refused to pay up or lost your luggage? >> there's always reasons to complain but there's a right way to do it so get what you want. elizabeth lombardo is the author

of a happy you, your ultimate prescription for happiness and we also have our good friend here hanging out. the deal here is you want to try to get your best service but it's not happening. what's your first move? >> the first thing to do is check your stress. stress goes from 0 to 10 and if it's a 7 or higher we're not going to come across the way we want. take a deep breath and say it in a respectful way. >> is there a right way versus a wrong way. to use an example there was a customer at dunkin donuts recently in florida who recorded herself yelling at an employee that didn't give her the free food she was expecting after she made an order and it didn't get to her on time -- she didn't get a receipt rather. wrong to record yourself in that situation. >> everybody records themselves these days. you can expect to be recorded.

for the restaurant, the best thing is to squash it as quickly as possible. with a smile on your face say how can i help you and do your best to help. if someone is irate and it's spiraling out of control and you cannot help to calm them down. you get help, you go to the manager and in a case like that which was very extreme you might even have to call the police. but the first line of defense is to do your best to take care of the person. >> what if you go up to the airline counter, you kill them with kindness. that's the first instinct and you get shut down with fern. i can't help you. it's impossible. it's not going to happen. what's the recourse of that. >> there's a difference in aggressive and assertive. assertive is respectful but aggressive is attacking. let them know what you need and why you need it. it's my daughter's birthday today i'm trying to get back. i get that it's businey for you >> humanize the situation. talk human being to human being.

pull at the heart strings. be sincere but when you sincerely pull at the heart strings people begin to listen and that person in the airport probably has 100 people saying i need this, i need this. if you're everyothinking about too it can help. >> what about outing people for bad behavior publicly. for example chefs here in the new york area are outing the names of customers that make a reservation and then don't show up for the reservations? >> what does that serve them? those people will never come back. >> what does that say to other customers too who see that and say. >> i think that's not going to work unless it's the most popular restaurant in the world and they're so snobby you don't care but on the flip side, people get really embarrassed if they have to cancel at the last minute so oddly instead of calling -- even if it's last minute to say we're not going to be able to come, they just shy away and don't call but imagine the restaurant is holding a table. so just out of respect, it's

good to call. >> and what about this young man dave carol. he was a passenger on a united airlines flight. the guitar got broken and instead of yelling he sang to them. >> broken guitar and all. >> we have video of that. >> let's take a look. ♪ united you broke my taylor guitar ♪ ♪ you nighted, some big help you are ♪ ♪ you broke it you should fix it ♪ >> united airlines had a statement. if we could put that up. we regret we did not provide the experience customers expect from us to dave carol. we need to be more accessible to customers to resolve their issues quickly and we have taken steps to change that.

>> is that the way to get the right response. >> it's being respectful. they're saying this happened and it's not okay. >> it's think it's slightly opportunitistic. >> yeah. he made a video out of it. it's gone viral. >> thank you so much. coming up next, giada shows you >> thank you so much. cominok s next, giada shows you o i' 've been having >> thank you so much. cominok s next, giada shows you an affair of sorts o i' with greek nonfat yogurt, loaded with protein 0% fat that thick creamy texture, i was in trouble. look i'm in a committed relationship with activia and i've been happy and so has my digestive system. now i'm even happier since activia greek showed up because now i get to have my first love and my greek passion together, what i call a healthy marriage. activia greek. the feel good greek. ♪ dannon

>> supposedly. >> it's a he said/she said, but mostly she said thing. we reached out, of course, to kim and to kanye's groups and neither of them have gotten back to us. >> anyway, she says that he had sex with her behind kim's back. and there are details in the article that talk about it. she's a dancer and they were at a club, et cetera, et cetera. >> she is an athletic dancer, acrobatic one. >> anyway -- >> one wonders whether she was paid for her story. you never know. one wonders if she just wants attention and it's not true at all. you know, any time you are a well-known person, you are a target. >> you're right. >> let's hope it's not true. >> it raises questions. this is one of those things when it comes to cheating, i think a lot of women have an instant reaction when they hear a story about cheating, because that old anger comes up because it reminds you of what happened in your world. there's a question, i think, if

you were out at night with friends and you looked over and saw a dear friend of yours, husband, boyfriend, whatever, flirting with another girl -- >> we talked about this the other day about the guys on the train. >> what would you do if it was someone close to you, a friend? >> depends, first of all, how close you are to the guy that you find cheating. i would let him know by going, say, to the ladies room. oh, fred, fred. hi, who's this? >> uh-huh. >> yes. i didn't know you had a sister. that kind of thing. then i would let him know. afterwards, i would contact him privately and say, you have something you want to explain? because if you don't have something to explain, then i'm going to have to explain it to my friend, because i love her too much. either you're going to tell her or i'm going to tell her and give him the opportunity to do the right thing. >> give them a time frame. >> the truth is, it's going to come out some day, some how. just better to deal with these things, get it over with.

if there's something to save, they save it. >> give them the opportunity. >> i would definitely give the opportunity to do the right thing, since he's doing the wrong thing. >> if it were my sister, my best friend, someone who was family to me, i would immediately tell my sister, best friend, et cetera. i wouldn't even go up to the guy and say anything. look, i was at a club, he didn't see me, he was with a girl, it looked terrible. if it was someone i was friendly or friend of, i would either stay out of it or might say to the guy, make sure he knew i was there. >> what if it was jerry? >> if it was jerry, he would never be jerry. >> we asked you all what you thought on facebook. >> i don't know if they remember the story. this is a great snack we're going to talk about, but there was a woman on the train, a bunch of guys talking about their wives and how they were cheating on their wives. >> and how stupid their wives were for not knowing.

>> this woman took a picture and posted it on facebook. she went on to say, if this is your husband and explained what they were discussing. we asked if it was okay to shame people publicly on facebook. 57% of people said yes, it is okay, and 43% says, no, it's never appropriate. >> government knows now, so why not? everybody knows everything already. >> we have to talk about these, because these look so good. >> kim and kanye have reached out and said it is completely false. >> that's what we were going to say. good, good. >> here is something -- they've been coming up with all these wild sandwiches. this is a crispy cream sloppy joe. did we make this ourselves? >> yes, we did. >> this is our version. >> i had one made for you without cheese. >> it's a krispy kream donut. it's all sweet and savory. you know it's going to be good. >> it's going to be obscene. >> oh, my god.

whipped cream, only if it's real, if it's out of the can, then nothing. >> not even the pie? >> no, just the pie, but not heated. >> uh-huh. >> what? >> all right. according to "glamour" magazine -- >> according to an article, being high maintenance can actually improve your relationship. >> i don't know about that. >> here to way in, cindi leive and a regular single guy, 38 year old -- what makes him regular? he's regular, okay? he works in finance. >> okay, works in finance. >> when you hear the term, cindi, high maintenance, it's an instant turnoff. oh, she's one of those people that needs everything just her way. sounds not great. >> it doesn't, but we think women have an irrational fear. we're not talking about being that super picky person, you don't have to be right out of

the "harry met sally" scene, no one wants to date that person, but women do have this very, very deep-seeded fear of looking like they need anything in a relationship, and they tell us they don't want to be seen as high maintenance so they don't express their feelings or say what they want. >> why does it seem the women who are high maintenance, they get the guys, they are all fawning all over them. >> what do you have to say about that? >> i think it's a tradeoff. i think if someone offers a lot, guys will have more patience as far as being high maintenance, but if they don't offer a lot, they are going to have less patience. >> i think, though, you have to take your own needs seriously in a relationship if you want anyone else to take you seriously. >> people will treat you the way you let them. >> there's needy, then there's someone when knows what they want. >> needy doesn't sound good either, though. >> we're all needy as human beings. >> needy is never good. >> regular guy says no.

planner. >> same day is unacceptable. i think the considerate thing to do is give someone at least a day notice. >> i think it also depends where you are in a relationship. if you've just met, fine, it's okay to be casual, but at a certain point, it's fine to have an expectation. >> don't be an ultimatum girl. >> when is it time to tell them what you want or need, how far into a relationship? >> really depends on the relationship, but certainly a couple of weeks, several days, that kind of thing. if you've been dating for a year and feel it's time to talk about marriage, absolutely. >> are you dating, regular guy? >> i'm out there dating in new york city, and i would say depends where you are in the relationship. i don't think you could put a time table on it, because three months could be one date a week, or you could be dating someone a month and it could be a lot more serious than dating someone for three months. >> you sound like a nice regular guy. >> get him a regular date. >> hopefully we can move from regular guy to something more interesting. >> we'll work on that. the photos that made you
