oakland premiere of "fruitvale station" award-winning film of the days leading up to grant's shooting. just moments ago, a major speech about the nuclear stock pile. we're live in berlin. and then not an accident, what might have it been? we will tell you the theory and what they are saying about it. pitch perfect. a 16-year-old becomes the youngest winner ever on "the voice" with an evening filled

with stars. we will hear from country's music next big thing today, january 19th, 2013. from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. live from studio 1-a in rockefeller plaza. good morning. welcome to today on a wednesday morning i'm matt lauer. >> i'm savannah guthrie along side al roker and natalie morales. president obama just wrapped up a speech from berlin following a morning news conference with the german chancellor, angela merkel. let us get right to our correspondent, chuck todd, who has been traveling with the president. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt a hot day in berlin.

the president just finishing this speech behind me. you bring up this issue of the nsa controversy. let me set the scene for you as far as the german public is concerned, the german media, and it's a hot topic here, and germans sensitive of the eavesdropping, and this has been a hot topic, one politically concerning to angela merkel, while the president is prepared on this issue, and here is how he addressed it at the press conference. take a listen. >> this is not a situation where we simply go into the internet and start searching any way that we want. it's a narrow system directed at us being able to protect our people, and all of it is done under the oversight of the

courts. as a consequence, we have saved lives. we know of at least 50 threats that have been averted because of this information, not just in the united states but in some cases threats here in germany. >> chuck, again, that was at a news conference. we want to go back to the speech that comes on the 50th anniversary of jfk's speech in berlin, and president obama used the opportunity to touch on something that could have came from that cold wartime, nuclear purse hreugs. >> reporter: the new treaty was signed a couple years ago, and they are very sensitive to the nuclear issue. a lot of u.s. presidents come

over here and promise new nuclear reduction, and that's what this president did. and he promised once again to concern to a lot of german issues and he talked about the nsa again in the speech, being sensitive to the fact, the german public, while they love him, are upset that some of the promises he made he has not fulfilled. >> thank you very much. here is savannah. the secret surveillance programs are also the focus of another hearing on capitol hill today. the foreign affairs correspondent is here, andrea mitchell. good morning. >> robert muller on capitol hill, and how was snowden able to pull off what is one of the worst american information leaks in history. while he threatens more leaks to

come, they are trying to create a computer trail and assess the damage. and alexander telling congress on tuesday the leaks spoiled 50 terror attacks since 9/11, including ten in the u.s. >> these are critical in the intelligence community's ability to protect our nation and allied security. >> he said in two newly declassified cases, they cracked the plot to blow up the new york stock exchange between 2007 and 2010, and monitoring a suspected terrorists in yemen led the fbi to a kansas city man, a naturalized citizen who was channeling money to al qaeda operatives that were planning to blow up the exchange, and he ended up bleeding guilty to bank fraud and money laundering. and then another in somalia. >> the fact that that program

led to the direct disruption of plots doesn't renew that they wouldn't have stopped the same plots. >> the agency is rethinking its system in snowden's wake. >> what we have to do is how did he do it and what was that? >> he was overheard on a mike joking with taking the heat over the controversy. >> good to see you. >> tell your boss -- >> the president promises to declassify more of the programs to find the right balance between safety and civil liberties. a stunning claim about what caused the deadly crash of twa flight 800 back in 1996. an independent film producer and investigators are calling for a

new investigation saying that was not an accident. tom costello is in washington. good morning to you. >> six former investigators, one with the ntsb, and the others representing other officers, and they claim there was an explosion outside of the aircraft, and the government they claim covered it up. that theory of a missile was thoroughly investigated in an exhaustive analysis that lasted four years and involved recovering the plane from the ocean floor and reconstructing it in a hangar. the explosion that brought down the plane was ignited by an electrical short. the producer of the documentary has been saying for years he believed the plane was brought down by criminal or terrorist action, and now he has a film appearing on the epics channel on the 17th anniversary of the

crash, and i just talked to the head of investigations and he says there was no evidence of an explosion of outside in, and all evidence suggested an inside out explosion on the fuel tank itself, in other words, not a missile. if it receive as petition to re-examine the findings it would look to see if there was compelling new evidence to suggest that the original findings were flawed before the tnsb with continue to pro. the current ntsb board members were not on the board when the crash occurred. the board has switched over and had a complete and exhaustive, if you will, review and turnover since then multiple times. back to you. >> thank you. and if you own a jeep, you want to listen to the next story. natalie has details on a major recall. >> it was a stunning reversal by chrysler involving jeeps that the government says could burst

into flames. details right now from nbc's don yang. the national highway traffic safety administration says are at risk of fuel tank fires and rear end collisions. >> the problem is the fuel tank is located behind the rear axle. >> hours before the tuesday deadline, chrysler agreed to a recall which is 1 million vehicles smaller than what the government first requested. chrysler will pay to fix the recalled vicks to better manage crash impacts. and that's if the analysis confirms the vehicles are not defective and among the safest

in their model class. regulators could have held rare public hearings, a potential pr nightmare. >> it would have been a black eye to have a public hearing and to go through the process. >> even before the recalls owners were concerned. >> yeah, it should be recalled, and yeah, it does kind of freak me out a little. >> if you own one of the recalled vehicles like this 2005 liber liberty, safety experts say don't wait f a letter, but take it to a dealer and have them look at it. we have new video of a wind-driven fire in prescott, arizona. it's forcing hundreds of families to evacuate. the fire started tuesday morning, and it raced up a mountain. a boeing 787 dreamliner from denver to tokyo had to be diverted because of a problem with an oil filter.

dreamliners only recently returned to service after a problem with their batteries. now, wall street and what is moving the numbers. >> starbucks is working to make food a bigger draw at a customer conference the company cfo says food representing more sales. and then the markets are lower as we wait for details on economic stimulus from the fed. >> thank you. and it just might be the next big thing, a four-year research project developed this. it's a twist off wine cork that could make corkscrews obsolete. developers hope it's something wineries might start using soon. i think it's a winner. >> yeah. >> no cork in the bottle. >> yeah. >> still, yeah, the succession. >> i like the crew on tops for

wine. there, i have taken a position. >> done. natalie just mentioned the wildfire in prescott. take a look. this is not good news. in fact it's bad news over today and into tomorrow the winds are going to be southwest stained at 30, and gusting between 35 and 40-mile-per-hour, so they are going to have big problems. we will get to your local 7:12. good wednesday morning to you. i'm meteorologist christina loren. live look. beautiful start to the day over

san francisco. no june gloom. we have low clouds over inland rally, particularly over concord. that should be clearing out as we head through the next couple of hours. temperatures so comfortable with full sunshine. 77 degrees. a touch warmer in livermore. 72 fremont. 62 san francisco. 72 perfect here in san jose. as we head through thursday and friday, temperatures slowly start to rise. weather. thanks now to a decision that could change the way doctors and insurance companies treat and cover obese patients. for the first time, the american medical association voted to officially classify obesity as a disease. nancy snyderman is the chief medical editor. she joins us now. this is not without controversy, but is this a big deal what it's called? >> it's a big deal. if you talk with people that deal with obese patients or diabetes are pushing this. they see it as a diseased state.

>> i was going to say there are pros and cons to it. let's talk about this. the first thing is i thought maybe that means insurers will reimburse more. >> there's a pro con. the pro is prevention and diagnosis but can you stop it. >> but the bmi is not a perfect measure of good health or bad health, right? >> the bmi isn't perfect, and that's what they were using. and the cons are it takes away disciplined and environmental issues, and does it mean people say i don't have to worry what i eat, eat bad food or too much, and you have two opposing sides, inside and outside of medicine. those say look your brain gets rewired, and genetics play a role, and it's a disease. and nondisease people saying what about self discipline. and those come crashing together.

and then you have the real science, and the brain is rewired and there are banding, and then insurers are going to push back. while this has no legal standing, the ama has a lot of cloud when it comes to policy. so i think things will change. >> one note in the recommendation you're labeling 1/3 of americans as ill. so we know it's a big deal. >> yeah and 2/3 are overweight or obese. >> thank you very much. thank you. this is the third straight day of work but are they closer to solving the 38-year-old mystery. katie is in oakland township. good morning. >> reporter: they have been searching that the most credible tip will finally be the one.

investigators will be back at it this morning after what they call an important day. they have been searching on their hands and knees meticulously sifting through piles of earth. at first glance it looked like an dig more than a crime scene. a cadaver dog hit on some remains. >> the dog worked the area and reacted to some scent, but we wouldn't call it conclusive. >> reporter: still it was in an area that investigators say they will be checking again. >> i know he is there. >> reporter: the fbi was led to the site by the son of a detroit mob boss and alleged to have been an under boss himself. a he was taken to a barn on this field after hoffa's disappearance, and he said he was buried alive in a shallow grave and covered for cement. >> they have been searching for

two days and have not found anything yet. you are sure he is there? >> i am not wrong. you can bet on it. >> a number of concrete slabs were discovered in the field, so far consistent with part of his story. and after 38 years, former detroit fbi special agent in charge says the agency has to keep following leads. >> if it was your father, your brother, your son, would you want them looking or to give up. >> reporter: as for the scent the cadaver dog picked up it was not human remains, and they are hopeful they will find him here. if the most credible tip does not work out there's a lot of growing concern they will not find hoffa. we have new details this morning on a homicide investigation that led to the questioning of a star player for the new england patriots. willie geist has more on that.

>> police in massachusetts spent hours on tuesday after a body was found near a vehicle rented in hernandez' name. police have said he is not a suspect. according to sports illustrated.com, police spoke to hernandez at his home outside of boston. a jogger found the body of a 27-year-old man monday in a clearing located less than a mile from hernandez' home. hernandez is not named as a suspect, although the vehicle he rented is connected to the investigation but not sure why. police took photos well into the night, and inside the home, the garage and in the driveway. a spokesperson for the new england patriots said i am aware of the reports but i do not

anticipate we will comment publicly during an on going investigation. and hernandez is an emerging nfl star, though he played in only ten games for the patriots this past season while battling injuries. >> i think he is a great player and the kids look up to him. i hope he is not involved in this in any way. >> hernandez is not a suspect at this time. he made hpl self a favorite target of tom brady. coming up, italy's high court rips the decision that sent amanda knox free saying the case was full of, quote, deficiencies. shoppers, you better beware. the big sale at your favorite store may not be such a bargain. the major retailers being sued for deceiving customers. first, this is "today" on nbc. 3 c3

the winner of the voice is danielle bradbery. team blake. >> and we are back at 7:30 on a wednesday morning, 19th of june, 2013. what a moment last night as 16-year-old danielle bradbery was crowned the winner, the shows youngest winner ever. we'll hear from her a little bit later and show you the evenings other highlights. there were a lot of stars there including a special performance from cher. good morning everyone. cher had a very interesting hair style last night. >> and sang the new single which is impressive. also ahead, a consumer alert, some of the country's top retailers are accused of

deceiving you by putting products on sale but really charging you a price that isn't as good as it sounds. also the battle between melissa etheridge and angelina jolie over jolie's decision to get a double mastectomy. why etheridge is standing by her comment that jolie made a fareful choice. let's begin with new details in the amanda knox case. italy's top court with strong words to explain it's decisions to order a retrial. michelle is in london. michelle, good morning to you. >> reporter: you know it was a stunning decision to retry this case after amanda knox and her then boyfriend first were convicted and then acquitted of killing amanda's roommate with virtually no physical evidence against them but now the court is saying it's the totality of the case that has to be looked at. not just the lack of dna or lack of any motive. amanda knox spent four years in

an italian prison convicted along with her then boyfriend of murdering amanda's roommate. then they were freed. convictions overturned. and then, this year, suddenly a reversal by a higher court meaning back to trial for both. now we learn why. the court saying there were serious deficiencies, contradictions and ill logic in the way those convictions were thrown out. circumstantial evidence was glossed over. for example that amanda blamed another man for the crime, originally said she pictured herself in the kitchen that night covering herself from meredith's screams and the court should have taken into account this could have been a sex game with multiple people which was particularly surprising in this explanation since at trial prosecutors didn't even use that scenario as a possibility. basically this court says much more should have been considered on review than the utter lack of

reliable dna evidence. amanda's american attorney though is not worried. >> since there was no evidence, there is no evidence and there never will be any evidence, our feeling is that this next review should result in the same verdict. one that demonstrates that amanda knox should be exonerated and found not guilty. >> reporter: amanda has said that police pressured her into giving the early statements in question although now she does not have to go back to italy for trial. it seems with all the twists and turns in this case, the one thing we can be assured of is that it will take a very long time, matt. all right. michelle in london. thanks very much. >> we want to head outside and get a check of the weather from al. >> thanks guys. it's a beautiful day. we got scout troop 3334. and they know their way to get on tv. they brought cookies. very nice.

very nice group of girl scouts. let's show you what we've got for today as far as our monthly rainfall, thank goodness it's not raining today. philadelphia had it's second wettest june on record. new york city, third with 9.8 inches of rain. hartford at over 9 inches and the fourth wettest in boston. toasty through the southwest. four corners area, fire warnings again. 90s in florida with high humidity. 60s and 70s through the great lakes. gorgeous day there. showers through the southeast and wet weather. sunny skies in the southwest on 67:34.ern california. a beautiful start to the day. this is coming from oakland. looking out across the bay bridge to the city by the bay. the golden gate bridge, that's how good our visibility is this morning. crystal clear out there. temperatures with the sunshine

coming in so early are going to be comfortable today. 77 degrees in livermore. 72 fremont. 72 san jose. 62 degrees today in san francisco. i bumped up your numbers from yesterday. bump them up more for thursday and the first full day of summer friday, 65 inland. cable or weather.com online. savannah. all right al. thanks. this morning a consumer alert for bargain shoppers. some major retailers maybe misleading you with those big sales. today jeff rossen is here with those details. jeff, good morning to you. you're a war began shopper, right? >> i am. if it sounds too good to be true -- >> it probably is. >> see how we did that. we all love a good sale. when you see the sign 20% off or 30% off or like savannah loves, 50% off, you assume you're getting a good deal but we found that sale price may not be a deal at all. now customers are fighting back with class action lawsuits against two of the country's

most popular chains. the allure of the sale. prices too good to pass up and we eat it up. >> we love a sale. >> love a sale. >> buy buy buy. >> who doesn't love a bar gain. >> everybody is looking for bargain. >> reporter: but hang on, two major retailers, khols and jcpenney are sued for selling products at regular prices but calling it a sale. >> we're alleging that savings is false. it's completely made up by the department store. >> reporter: according to the class action suit against kohls those sales are nothing more than an advertising scheme. a campaign to mislead consumers. in many cases the regular price is artificially inflated to make the sale price seem even better. >> it induces people to buy those products and preying on

this behavior and it works. >> in fact, our investigator found it's happening at several stores. look at this macy's add for a food processor. regular price, 139.99. sale price, 99.99. sounds like a great deal but we checked with the manufacturer. turns out the sale price is about what the everyday price should be anyway. 99.95. no real bargain here. over at jcpenney. check out this vacuum cleaner, regular price $725. sale price $649.99. same as the full price suggested by the manufacture. >> how widespread do you think it is. >> very widespread. >> reporter: she is a professor of marketing at nyu. >> there's a psychology at play. you feel something. >> you feel smart, you feel happy. you feel you got a great deal and you feel you are special because you manage to get this deal. >> do you think they're playing on our emotions. >> they're completely playing on our emotions.

>> jcpenney and kohls had no comment. macy's sets its prices independently. often our prices do not coincide with manufacturers suggested prices. >> i have lost trust in the retailers. >> you have lost trust in them. >> as a consequence of this. >> next time you see the sale sign -- >> i'm going to question it. i'm going to question whether it's a sale. >> this might make us mad but is it he will lyle to do this >> it's murky. there's a law on the books that says an item needs to be sold at a regular price for a significant amount of time. it's vague. it's tough to enforce. the california law says that an item needs to be sold at regular price for three months. there's a specific amount of time it can be sold before it goes on sale. the lawyers filing the class action lawsuits said that did not happen here. >> assuming you don't want to spend all your day researching prices, how do you know if you're getting a good deal or not?

>> that's a good question. there is good news here. you can protect yourself. before you buy anything, ask the store clerk, was this product ever sold at the regular price? and how long has it been on sale? if they say it has been on sale for awhile, that's a red flag and of course, we always say comparison shop. that's the best idea. the sale price at one store maybe cheaper at another store. >> retail psychology. jeff, thank you so much. >> coming up next, the 16-year-old voice winner last night. what she is saying about that coveted title and an interesting question. to wave or not to wave when you're out there running or cycling. why that is trending this morning. are you a waver? but first these messages. mornin. are you a waver? but first these messages.

saying, quote, that one or more ordinance explosions outside the aircraft caused the crash. outside would mean, of course, some sort of a missile fired at the aircraft. the ntsb says it will reexamine its findings if a petition is made and significant data is presented to suggest they should reexamine this case. but recall now that every member of the ntsb board has switched over, has left several times over. this is not the same ntsb board as in 1996. natalie? >> very interesting. tom costello, thank you for that developing story. in a city marked by cold war history, president obama is speaking at berlin's famed brandenburg gate, is calling today for new reductions in the number of nuclear weapons deployed by the united states and russia. and at a news conference earlier today, the president also spoke about government phone and internet surveillance, saying the u.s. has struck an appropriate balance between intelligence gathering and civil liberties. a wildfire in northern arizona has burned about 5,000

with the official start of summer a few days away, one columnist is pondering whether or not to wave at fellow bikers as you pass. he is prowave and operates at a 74 to 94% wave rate. it's less of a deal to runners than cyclists. which makes sense. here comes al roker. good morning, do you wave? >> i always wave. >> really. >> if somebody waves to me, i wave to them. >> do you initiate the wave. >> sometimes i do. >> nice bike. >> a little city bike action. i think it depends on their demeanor, their mood. sometimes people don't look like they want you to wave to them. >> like the ones that flip you off. >> like i saw you yesterday. >> in central park i was running yesterday, if you wave at everyone the whole time you're like hi, hi. >> that's not ri dick y-- >> if it's two of you passing

each other on the street somewhere. >> i run early in the morning on a country road. i may see three people during the entire run and we kind of give the whole nod. >> sometimes you do a little head nod. a little acknowledgment but wave to everybody, you're wasting energy. >> that would be exhausting but the calorie burning count way up there. >> if you're taking your hand off the handlebars too, you have to factor that in. >> safety first. >> right, yeah. >> i'm doing the tour de france. i'm getting right up there. >> yeah. mr. roker, you've got something. trending on youtube, our pal jimmy fallon headed up to the top of the rock to do a little yodelling and check out who his yodel partner was.

>> unbelievable. i don't deserve this. >> as you can hear, don't stop believing was the song. kind of a familiar one for us here. and i love the banner in the back there thanking him for believing in them. needless to say, the principal was caught off guard and brought to tears. he is with us now. sir, good morning to you. is it boyd or boyde. >> it's boyde. a principal is supposed to know what his or her students are doing at all times. how did you lose track of the entire student body. >> that's a good point. that's why i have to retire. because i knew nothing. there was over 1,000 people in the building. you would think somebody would

have slipped me a hint but i had no idea. >> it's very moving. i like the message that says thank you for believing in us. what did that mean to us? >> it meant everything. i think you could tell how choked up i was. and i often have said to the kids that i'm not a dreamer, i'm a believer and i absolutely believe in these children around me and the ones that i've had over my 36 year career. i mean, just the best group of kids a principal could work with. >> well, principal, it is so touching to watch. i think it's been viewed something like 11,000 times but i heard you say you think you're responsible for 10,000 of those views. >> yeah and this morning they tell me that it's 50 or 60,000 times and i am only responsible for 10,000. everybody else watched the rest. >> our heart felt congratulations to you obviously on a job well done. it's nice for you to talk to us this morning. >> well, it's my pleasure.

survivor said she wouldn't call jolie's choice to have a preventive double mastectomy after testing positive for the gene brave. >> i think it's the most fearful choice you can make when confronting anything with cancer. that choice is way down the line on the spectrum of what you can do. etheridge says she too tested positive for the gene mutation that increases the risk of breast cancer. she developed the disease and underwent chemotherapy. and in a statement to today, etheridge said i don't have any opinion on what she should have done. all are free to choose. i only objected to the term brave describing it. jolie's decision made headlines when she announced it last month. time dubbed it the angelina effect. experts say the resulting conversation and debate are no surprise. >> cancer medicine is becoming increasingly personalized. it's a very public debate between two women facing the risk themselves captures an

incredible debate within the field itself. >> reporter: in her new york times add she wrote i want to encourage every woman to seek out the information and medical experts that can help you through this aspect of your life and to make your own informed choices. jolie said she wants genetic testing accessible to all women. while on the red carpet monday night, jolie's partner brad pitt called etheridge an old friend but didn't back down on his praise for jolie. >> right she's my hero. >> jolie previously lost her mother with cancer. her aunt debbie lost her battle in late may. kristen, thank you. she is a gynecologist. good to see you. >> good to see you also. >> before we get into the details is there any value to this conversation disputing how one's position is characterized as fearful or brave? >> absolutely not.

aren't we all moms, whether you take an epidural for child birth or not? at the end of the day you're still a mom. at the end of the day she's still a breast cancer survivor, period. >> we don't want to second guess anyone's choices. both women had the mutation of the gene. angelina chose the double mastectomy. melissa treated it successfully. is one superior to the other. >> no, that's the great thing is you have all of the choices. some people choose it because the other option is either to do the chemo and also to surveil you every six months. it's like waiting for it to drop. >> do you worry that some people might be too quick to choose the double mastectomy in light of what angelina jolie did.

>> it's a recommendation. you can go over all your choices but ultimately you're the one that does it. >> thank you so much. now over to matt. >> savannah, thank you. most of us turn to our doctors with a question about our health but when it comes to treatment it's often pharmacist who is are on the front line. with that in mind, u.s. news and world report and the industry trade publication pharmacy news have come out with the top pharmacist recommended health products for 2013-2014. we're talking about over-the-counter products. here to walk us through the list is our today contributor. good morning. >> good morning matt. >> pharmacists know, they sell the products and then they hear from the customers when they come back about which ones work and don't work. >> exactly. they get a lot of feedback. sometimes people wonder what role does the pharmacist play these days? but they play a big role. you don't have to call your doctor or look on the internet. i hear people saying what do you

think i should take for a cold or cough. >> so we should listen to these and when they were asked about all over-the-counter products the five top recommended ones were the ones on the counter here. they gave breathe right 99%, lactaid 98%. >> vicks. >> part of it might be a mental effect. they were given a choice what do you most recommend. >> debrox and imodium all got rave reviews. a different category here. eyes and throat. what do we need to know. >> a lot of products people are familiar with. all over the counters for colds, coughs, eye issues, allergies but many of these contain ingredients that can have potential side effects particularly if you have high blood pressure or heart disease.

just because it's over the counter doesn't mean it's safe. you need to check with your doctor. >> we're not promoting or endorsing any of these products but claritin. cepacol, sudafed all got rave reviews. >> yes, explain the difference for me. >> when they ask the pharmacist what do you recommend for pain, most recommended tylenol but when they asked about what inflammation they recommended advil. for inflammation, that is best treated with something like that. where as tylenol is better because it has less side effects on your stomach. >> moving quickly, antacids, tums, imodium, gax-x. you once make the points that if

people at home are using even these great products too much they have a different problem. >> these work well in the short-term but if you're popping them like candy several times a week there's an issue there. acid reflux can have serious consequences. if you're using them a lot, talk to your doctor. >> people should download this to their smartphone so they go in and have a condition they know what products the pharmacists recommend and you can see that on today.com. thank you very much. over to savannah. now to an inspirational story about an injured marine that found a surprising new career in the modeling world. >> good morning. well, four years ago alex nearly died from an ied blast in afghanistan. he is still coping with his injuries but his physical obstacles are only part of what he's had to overcome. >> ripped, cut, no fat on this

frame, serious ink and a sparkling smile. the way he looks today, it's no surprise he has become a hot new player in the fitness model game. this comes from two grueling workouts a day. tough for anyone, two legs or just one. >> it's hard, you know, and it hurts. >> reporter: it's nothing compared to what alex has been through starting with an ied explosion in afghanistan four years ago. >> it didn't look good. i had a stage 3 brain injury. i was in a coma for 47 days. >> he beat the odds walking again with a prosthetic limb but just two months after alex left the marines, his younger brother danielle pass dan -- daniel passed away. that loss sent him into a tail spin. >> i was using alcohol to numb whatever was going on in my head. >> hell bent on destroying himself. isolated. >> that time was tougher than

his physical injuries. >> when you have demons in your head and you are depressed, there isn't anybody that can really take care of that besides yourself. >> after multiple dui arrests, alex decided to quit drinking. almost immediately his life changed again. >> second day i was sober i was working out just doing my thing and this guy came up to me and he said i like the way you look and i want to know if you ever modelled before. >> that photographer was tom. >> alex has inspired me to look at beauty differently. >> and just nine months after his first shoot, alex''s photos are heating up the internet and photographs are lining up to work with him but he says it's not about the fame. >> my sanity, my happiness, you know? i'm working on me, you know? for the first time. i'm not run agoway anymore. >> alex says his biggest hope as a model is to inspire others to get healthy and overcome their

own challenges, whatever they may be. i have to tell you, of course we thank him for his service and pg&e wants to raise customers rates to upgrade its distribution systems making them safer and more reliable. california public utilities commission will hold two hearings today. one starts 2:00, the other at 7:00. 8:26 a.m. right now, time to check that morning commute with mike. >> all right, yes, we are in the a.m., in the middle of the commute for the south bay. looking at northbounbjr 280 comg toward us at the 880/17 split there and a slow drive, which is typical. actually slow from downtown up

empowerment. these aren't even models. they're just a group of friends stripping down together for a photo shoot the way some girlfriends might decide to grab some cocktails or go to a spa. >> is this something you ever thought you would be doing. >> never. ever. >> it's liberating and bonding and girls are always so critical of ourselves and each other. so to be with supportive people and get together and not be judging yourself or each other, it's awesome. >> reporter: and while it's clearly not for the faint of heart, katie and her friends aren't alone. >> i want you to look down. catherine leonard has seen her photography business double in the last two years. especially among groups of women ready to bear all. >> we had a divorce party once. we've had 30th birthday. we've had -- somebody was celebrating weight loss. we had her and four of her friends. we've had a lot. >> watch out. it's an air mattress.

it will be funky. >> she provides the settings and props and the tiniest bit of retouching. >> understandably it takes most women a few minutes to get warmed up but before long, they're totally comfortable. >> 90% come in wanting turtlenecks, jeans and by the time they leave they're 10 feet tall and they would walk out of here in their bra and panties. >> that feeling can be addicting. tara came in last month for her friend's bachelorette party and now she is back again. >> i definitely feel empowered and i felt good about myself. >> they take away a greater sense of themselves. >> that's it ladies. that's a wrap. >> you're looking at these fashion magazines and super models and you can become one and i think that when they finally go through the shoot and they do get there they're like wow, this is me. i did it. >> reporter: now in addition to the groups, a lot of women do these as gifts for the men in their life but end up going back

just for themselves. catherine just launched photos to men can get in on the action too. >> there's no way -- i can't imagine guys doing this and savannah says there's no way you would do it. >> no way. >> we met a guy there with his girlfriend and they would do it as a couple. there are circumstance where is men could get on the action. >> can we say the women in your piece are beautiful and have perfect bodies. >> but the photograph made a point that women of all shapes and sizes come. >> do they have photo shop. >> they do. >> savannah you're falling right into what the first lady said, women are always so critical of themselves. you would be perfect and beautiful in shots like that. >> are you on drugs. >> leslie is agreeing with with me. >> one of the things she said is stretch marks and cellutie don't exist. >> one step over the line. >> it's interesting and they look great. no question about it. >> thank you. >> up next, a new spin on the

struggle over the work/life balance. can men have it all? but first this is "today" on nbc. wow, the track looks perfect. now we just need guests. yeah, so they can race! hey! kachow!

bellissimo! guido! our tires are a-flying! whooooaaaaaa little tractors, dance! they're here! it is time! there's high-octane fun for everyone at cars land. only at disney california adventure park. dontcha just love that new park smell?

. we're back now 8:39. from work to raising kids, it seems like everyone has more on their plate these days but with only so many hours in the day, how do you find the time to do it all? >> it's an age old question, can women have it all? well, this month's esquire magazine turns it around and asks what about the men. >> all the data suggests men face the same problem women do. >> according to a survey, men today spend almost three times as much time with their children and twice as much time doing household chores as their father's did 50 years ago. adding to the family stress level, more and more people are juggling jobs. as gender roles converge, so

does the pressure to do it all. he is a father of two doing more around the home. >> hugh is our kitchen man. when he is home, he definitely does kitchen duty. >> we have the rule that if someone cooks, the other person cleans. >> both he and his wife melissa work full time yet hugh says he feels more pressure to provide. >> it's what we aspire to. at least i do. i look at my dad as a father-in-law and dad as a role model. i try to aspire to be that. >> he travels three days for week as a consultant so he can't always be there for his kids. >> what i had to give up is missing my kids growing up. missing a soccer practice here or stuff at daycare. >> but in the end he doesn't regret any sacrifices he's made. >> it hurts to not be there but that's the choice you make. that's the sacrifice you make to survive. >> so the question remains, can anyone have it all.

here to answer that question, a licensed message and family therapist and author of scream free parenting. >> good morning. >> more men are actively involved at home with raising kids and doing chores, bad news is more men are dealing with the same dilemma that women have been dealing with as years. are we as well equipped to cope with the challenge? >> i don't think so. i think we're so used to -- and this is a social construction but we're the provider so our priority has always been on working on work. right so i think we have struggled with trying to incorporate other things but still feeling the pressure to keep up that. >> we hear in the piece a guy says i don't get to see soccer practices, i miss certain school activities and games. do you think in 2013, if you gave the average, and this is general, but fireworks gave the average man the voice between checking out a couple more soccer games or getting a promotion at work, they would choose the promotion. >> that's a great question.

more and more people i know they would choose soccer games. >> you think so. >> more and more guys would choose soccer games. >> here's another thing that caught my attention. esquire magazine partnered with survey monkey and found that 3 out of 5 american men rarely if ever hear any form of appreciation from their spouses when it comes to the role they're now playing at home. what do you make of those numbers. >> well, i think women have said well we have been dealing with this conflict for a long time so just welcome to the party. you're just a little late so it but every time i hear that can we have it all i think of that joke where you can't have it all because where would you put it. it's this ridiculous motion that we're supposed to have everything we want all the time we want it. that's never going to happen. what we have to do is just prioritize. figure out what do you want most. because failure is whenever we sacrifice what we want most for what we want right now. for instance i want a healthy fit body my wife still finds attractive but right now i want

donuts and is that going to get me what i want most. >> i like that idea because it takes pressure off of us. it takes the pressure off of us that we put on ourselves and you'll enjoy both aspects of your life more. >> and you can say i rest solid on this decision because i believe it is going to lead me to the relationships i care about the most. >> it's interesting we're talking about this. yesterday i had to leave in the middle of the show to go to elementary school graduation. so more and more dads are dealing with this. thanks for your perspective. up next, steals and deals, up to 75% off on everything from totes to necklaces for our today show viewers. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

od morning. it is june 19, 2013. another chamber of commerce day out there, huh? >> beautiful, perfection. >> we're inside studio 1a. i'm willie geist, along with al roker and natalie morales. we're going to start this half hour talking about katy perry. she has now told in a magazine interview the way her marriage ended in a text from russell brand. >> ouch. she says russell brand informed her on december 31st, 2011 let's

say i haven't heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me since of 2011. that's cold. >> that hurts. >> on the other hand, we don't know both sides of this. >> we don't. >> is there another side to texting divorce? >> well, there's certain things you don't do via text. >> i would say that's one of them. >> yes. >> but perhaps there were issues there that he thought maybe that was the best way to go. >> i see. i see what you're saying. >> we don't know, you're right. there's always another side. >> but that's a tough one. >> it's tough to bounce back from that. >> yeah. everybody has had that text from someone, you're texting me this and can't you just pick up the phone and call me? or how about we have this conversation. big family announcements, marriages, births, you know, can i bring a guest to the wedding?

those kinds of things. those are things you don't get a text about? >> but technology means you don't have to have a confrontation with anybody anymore. you send a text or e-mail. not a divorce. that's an extreme case but something at work, you can send an e-mail and you don't have to have that moment. >> at the end of the day you still end up having the conversation anyway and now you have bruised feelings. >> have you guys ever had one of those texts though. >> got dumped texts. >> you haven't. >> she dumped me many times over the course of those years. >> oh yeah. >> by text. >> no, we didn't have text back then. >> back then. >> no. >> carrier pigeon. >> seems like it wasn't that long ago when you first started getting e-mails. it was like wow, this is amazing and now the text. pretty soon it's just going to be beamed into your head. >> we were talking about that,

the first time when you really were expected to get e-mail and have e-mail. i remember my first job, people were e-mailing like what's that? do i need to have this in order to work and to function and then sure enough, you need it. >> and then the next evolution was you had to have it with you always. five or six years ago you would have your e-mail at work and you'd check it when you left the office and check it the next day when you came in. >> do you remember carrying a pager? >> yeah. >> the old little beeper. >> old school. >> breaking news, time to get to work. >> oh, those were the days. >> back in our day. >> we actually got a phone call at home that you had to come in. >> yeah an overnight phone call. >> i remember when alexander graham bell called me. >> good friend of yours. high school buddy. >> good pal. >> how about this next one, a st. louis dad got a rude shock. he took his 3-year-old son to a restaurant for father's day. when they got the bill it had an

unexpected notation on it. >> it said bleep, bleep, needy kids. >> the man's son was not disbehaving but they ordered a chicken leg that wasn't on the menu. sure we can help you out. the restaurant usually doesn't admit children and made an exception and offended the waiter and identified to the kitchen who this kid was, a needy kid with an f bomb in front of it. >> but in a publication apparently the waiter in his defense did say that the kid was well behaved the family was well behaved. it was just a notation to the chef that they needed extras so in the back room they write whenever somebody needs something extra and it appeared on the bill when it wasn't supposed to be there. >> used that term to identify people. this has us thinking about kids in restaurants. >> we've talked about this, yeah and when you is it appropriate

and when is it not appropriate? i like to bring my kids to a lot of places. if it's a 4-star, 5-star restaurant, they're probably staying home with the babysitter but sometimes you're traveling and you don't have a babysitter. so what you do you do? >> we go in early. first reservation. get in and get out. you don't linger. i mean, look, you've got about -- i always tell the waiter, when the kids were smaller, we've got a 45 minute window here. >> right. >> we'll be quick and we'll be in and out. >> and if you're respectful of the restaurant and the environment, you get in and get out. >> we have a circuit of restaurants in new york. we know kids are welcome. we go early. there's other kids there. there's no expectations. >> yeah. >> he's been banned. the kids are welcome. >> leave your dad home. >> the kids are great, beat it. >> leave the dad at home.

>> we can't go anymore with our kids. >> we once went to a nice restaurant in europe and we were traveling and josh was six months old. we were for sure he'll be asleep. he'll be fast asleep. so we get to the restaurant. he's not asleep. i'm like great but he was behaving well and all of a sudden out of nowhere, really fine dining he starts doing that. he did this for half an hour during dinner. >> i've done that. >> so my husband like pulled out the stroller and takes a walk with him. he's still not sleeping and i'm like this kid will not go to bed. he ended up behaving okay besides that. >> that's the other side, if your kid is misbehaving, get them out of the restaurant. >> absolutely. >> one more thing we have to show you because it's hot off the presses, a lot of anticipation for "anchorman 2." well we have the first full

length trailer. let's take a look. >> we're starting a 24-hour newschannel and we want you. >> i'm going to do the thing that god put ron burgandy on this earth to do, have salon quality hair and read the news. >> this just feels right. the news team is back. >> your hair looks like wet popcorn. >> i like the parts of your face that are covered with skin. >> look at him. he's not that great. >> what did you say. >> he said you're not that great. we're getting all the original cast plus the kristen wigg bonus thrown in there. >> it's going to be amazing. >> i remember doing the news, local news in the 80s, the early 80s. >> funny you should mention that al. >> i think we should show what that looks like back then. we have al roker as anchor man. >> that's 70s al. we were trying to find 80s al,

but we burned most of those. >> that's a good look, al. >> all right. you never quite recovered from that. >> let's move on. shall we take a look at the headlines? would you like me to move on quickly. i think we should show that picture -- i'll move on for your sake. the american medical association is calling so beesty a disease. the ama recommends that doctors and insurance companies help educate the public about the health risk of being overweight and obese. obesity rates doubled among american adults in the last 20 years and tripled among children in just one generation. starbucks is going to start posting calorie counts nationwide next week. not sure how we all feel about that but this way consumers will know how many calories are in the company's drinks and pastries. the move happens even before the fda comes out with it's own regulations requiring companies with more than 20 locations to post calorie information. two of the nations big retailers are facing a class

coming out of school. this is particular to your group or is this universal. >> i don't think it's particular. i think it's hard for everyone to grow up. i think the process of going from someone whose needs are taken care of who doesn't have to make their own way in the world to someone who does is a tricky thing no matter when you're growing up. >> and janet, you're the mother of four yourself so you know all about the growing up process. what anxieties and stresses do you think they are having at this age. >> they have the highest stress of any age level and part of that is because we don't dodgers think of an adult, when you take an approach to love and finances and work and so many can't afford their own place to live and they can't take that step that launches them into adult hood so they can't afford it and it creates anxiety. >> your book is 468 steps. the great recession has been tough on people so a lot of them

no, stop, you are to some people. your parents love you. your friends love you and your teachers love you but the world at large doesn't care about you. >> you're one of many snow flakes. >> right. janet has a knowing smile over here. >> yes, i have contributed to my kids thinking they're a special snow flake until they ask for rent money or tell me they don't like to go to work. we have to take responsibility. >> another one of your tips, office small talk. you have drawn a bell curve to show us what's appropriate. >> there's a bell curve to all small talk. let's face it, no one wants to be in the same conversation forever. no one wants to grow old talking about the weather. when you realize that momentum has peaked and you're getting into that, oh, yeah, that thing kind of stage, that's when you need to wrap it up. it feels awkward but it's not that complicated. you just finish with a final sounding statement. it's been so great to talk to you. i hope our paths cross again.
