>> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with kathie lee gifford and hoda kotb live from studio 1a in rockefeller pza. >> and it's a rainy fun-day monday, july 1st here in our studio in new york. happy canada day to our friends up north. and happy bring your dog to work day, although it isn't. we did anyway. we decided -- well, there's a segment. >> we're going to have a doggy decor segment. bam, look at that close-up. never met a camera he did not like. yep.

and blake. they are meeting for the very first time today. and they like each other so far. >> yes. >> where are his eyes? >> they're in there. look very close. one is bored, probably like our viewers right now. >> so i had a sensational weekend. how about you, my darling? >> i had a great one. we've got to talk about the doggy thing. if you guys were watching the tour de france which goes on for days and days. who knows when they win. it's like seven days. they take naps or eat. there was one situation where there was a spectator with his puppy watching the tour de france and watch what happened. take a look. >> there's a dog on the course. >> well, it's interesting. i was about to tell you that it's not a head wind we're dealing with. it's a tail wind. it's also -- >> there's a dog on the course. >> that whole stampede of bikes almost --

>> oh, my gosh. >> oh, my gosh! >> that is scary. >> your heart just goes oh. >> can i -- >> don't look. don't look. >> i want to show you what i've taught blake to do. you ready? blake, you ready? >> you were going to say sit. he already sat. >> wait, come over here. blake, down. down. good boy. okay. wait blake. watch. roll over. watch. blake, here we go. roll over. okay. down. come on. come on. how about the down. okay, blake sit. good boy. that's it. >> that's two more than bambino can do. >> you did good. come here. >> bambino can do eat and sleep. those two he's very good at. >> tell me about your weekend. >> started out last week. i've been trying to get to oxford, mississippi, for about three years since my very dear

friends sam and mary haskell built a beautiful, beautiful home there. there we are at the sam and mary haskell theater at ole miss. sam was captain of -- you know, these people go to their universities and it's like for the great years of their life and have a great impact. i think he was president of the school and all of that. he went on to be the head of worldwide television for the william morris agency. i met him when he was in the mailroom at the -- and he said -- and that's so many years ago. he said kath, one day i'm going to be an agent and you're going to be my first client. and that's exactly what happened. for 35 years he's been one of my dearest friends. his wife mary who is a sensational actress and singer and his daughter mary lane who is also -- starring in "hello dolly." so i was able to do both things. >> there they are right there. it was a terrific show. everybody was great. i love the south. i love this little town of

oxford, so adorable. my favorite thing, i'm going to give it to you now because there's a chef there named john -- i think it's commerce. he owns four great restaurants. this one is called the big bad breakfast. >> bbb. >> lard have mercy. but it was named the top -- >> oh. >> the top breakfast place in the country. >> wow. >> who is growling? >> i don't know. i don't know. but anyway, hoda, you have to try it out some time. dolly parton was there last year. >> bam is getting vicious. okay. we should point out that we're kind of in a hurricane. i don't know what happened. we've been sitting here. the show opened. was sprinkling. look at this tree behind us. look at that. >> it's been crazy weather.

>> this is great. did bam just growl at my dog. >> i'm not sure. >> maybe it was his tummy. he's hungry. >> okay. we've got to talk about -- i have to keep giving him treats. >> pass one over, please. maybe he wants a treat. there you go. here you go sweetheart. now we've heard so much -- >> oh, doesn't care for your treats, thank you. >> see if he growls again. >> we don't want a fight. bambino. >> stop it. you're doing it. that was -- >> she did it. >> we heard so much about paula deen last week and all the different problems she was having, all the different sponsors dropping her and, you know, one wonders where this is all going to end for her. she's had the worst week of her entire life, i'm sure. >> there were a lot of other things that happened this weekend. jennifer lopez was seen in turkmenistan and she was giving a concert there and apparently the president of this country

was there. and it's known as an oppressive regime where they don't treat their people well. >> torturing, that sort of -- fun stuff like that. >> she sang "happy birthday" to the president who happened to be in attendance at this concert and she, you know, she basically they said, what were you thinking singing that song afterwards. and she apologized and said she didn't have any idea. >> it wasn't for him. he was apparently at it. so she's coming under fire for that. her publicist says it was fully vetted no, problem. she got paid an enormous amount of money i'm sure for the concert. >> alec baldwin, too, was, you know, at it again. safe to say when it comes to alec. describe what happened. he was in a war with a member of the paparazzi. >> he went to gandolfini's funeral along with his pregnant wife hilaria. and i guess somebody then said that they were tweeting

inappropriate tweets during this very moving -- apparently that was not true and he got in some sort of altercation with some guy who is a writer for the mail. i may be all wrong about this but these are the facts as i was told. and alec then wrote some pretty vicious tweets which he wants to do toward this guy. and accused him basically -- called him a -- i want to get it exactly right. >> he made a gay slur. >> all right. a gay slur. >> why can alec baldwin make a gay slur and still have a capital one commercial and how can charlie sheen say all those things and do all those things and still have a hit show and jennifer lopez say she is sorry and how can everybody else -- >> where is the justice in all of this? there should be a one standard for everybody. and why is it that certain

people are like teflon and nothing sticks and other people, they do maybe if she did do this one time 30 years ago, it doesn't seem to be quite equitable. martha stewart recovered. she went to jail and has been forgiven. chris brown, we all remember what happened with rihanna. a lot of those kinds of things. and america seems to be very forgiving. i'm just surprised, like we said last week that so many of her sponsors reacted very quickly before the facts were in. >> i'm going to give my dog -- >> this is the extraordinary part. presales of her book supposed to come out in october are huge. they are through the roof because her fan base is really responding and supporting her. but now random house has decided not publish that book in october. she should self-publish and she'll probably make a ton of money that way. but the people are sticking with her. >> the thing i'm hearing more and more it wasn't the thing 23 years ago. it was the attitude of the south and the wedding and all that stuff. and i think you get it. and, but i do find it very interesting that every single person fled. and if you do look online she

has a ground swell of support from other people. i'll be very curious to see how that one turns out. but you're right. >> our point is, do you think it's fair that some -- look at bill maher. he came to paula deen's defense. they say outrageous things for a living and no one seems to hiccup. so we're just trying to get behind the psychology. why is this unforgivable as opposed to everything else. >> some people you see as bad boys. alec baldwin as always doing that stuff. charlie sheen as always doing that stuff. so when they do it again you go, there they go again. >> is it right? is it fair? >> that's a good question. >> favorite things. i love this, by the way. >> they have four great restaurants down there in that darling little town of oxford. >> here's just a really quick thing. i like to -- we like to wear a simple dress because it's so easy. there's nothing else you have to worry about putting on. >> except for your spanx. >> these dresses are by muse.

they start at $99. and i wear them all the time because they are multicolored. they are easy to wear. bobbie told me about them. i started going online. i just buy them online. and they are -- >> they are all adorable. >> as high as $120, $130. they aren't outrageously priced. >> okay, good. >> and sara, what's yours? >> hi. mine is i'm obsessed with this coffee called stumptown coffee. they roast it in brooklyn but it's out of portland. it's one of those coffees, even though i use cream and sugar, i have kind of gone to almost drinking it black because it's that good. >> it's sweet in nature. it's not sweetened, right? >> you know how sometimes coffee can be so bitter and strong. this has a very smooth taste. >> all righty. >> love it. all right. >> it's pouring but don't go

anywhere. >> we'll dial up our fan of the week. might be you. >> probably not. >> doubtful. >> and your kids loves her as icarly. now she has something else your whole family will love. >> and all the gossip you missed when you were out all weekend.

it's hard to believe the little girl who played icarly on nickelodeon's long-running show is all grown up now. not only is miranda cosgrove a college student but she's still making movies. >> she returns as margo in "despicable me 2." margo and her sisters try to sign dad up for a little online dating. take a look. >> you need to choose a picture. >> no. scary. weird. ah! >> what is that? >> good morning, girls. i have an announcement to make. >> what celebrity do you look like? >> bruce willis. >> no. >> humpty-dumpty. >> oh -- >> what are you doing? >> we're signing you up for online dating.

>> oh, okay. what? no, no, no, no, no. >> miranda is here with us. that first one made $500 million. i wondered if there would be another one. >> yeah, it's pretty exciting they decided to make another. i just saw it for the first time recently in australia. they had the first premiere there. >> it was a worldwide hit for sure. >> doing your character, we saw that steve carell changes his voice a lot. did you have to do anything to enhance, change your voice to make it fit the character a bit more? >> i'm younger, obviously, she's like 13 in the movie. i just tried to make my voice sound a little younger and then it's obviously not such a crazy voice like what steve carell does. i thought that would be fun to do a crazy voice like that. >> you guys aren't together at all when you are doing this. you do your bit, he does his separately. is that a weird dynamic? >> it is. with animation you're just by yourself in a little booth and when you see it for the first time it's kind of a surprise to everyone.

>> you have your director there. and the producers are all around. always done by committee. they ask you to do a line like ten times a different way and that kind of thing. >> it's cool. they let you improv. do it this way three times and do whatever you want. have fun with it. so it's pretty cool. >> how much of it ended up in the movie? >> i felt like a lot of those ended up especially with the youngest little girl. she just says the cutest things all the time. everything she says is good. >> so you are in college. how do you balance that all out with your workload and your school work? >> and frat parties and all your drinking and -- >> my son just graduated. it's a dangerous place. >> not going to lie. it's really fun. i like college a lot. you need to go to football games and just having the whole college experience. >> do you have an any anonymity or do all the kids say, oh, my god, it's you. >> i didn't know a single person when i first started there. in many ways it helps me. people will come up and just

introduce themselves or be nice. so in a way it helps. >> what are you studying? >> i want to major in film. so i'm taking a lot of film classes. i really want to do screenwriting. i love steve carell and kristen wiig in the movie. >> it got one of the best schools for that in the whole world. what about your love life? dating any football players? >> i'm not dating any football players. if you know any -- >> actually, i have a 23-year-old one. but his girlfriend would kill me. >> we wish you good luck with this movie. >> thank you. >> all the best. "despicable me 2" hits theaters july 3rd. and benjamin bratt, her co-star, he'll be here later in the week. he's got a great part. is your phone ringing? guess what, it could be us calling you right this moment. but probably not. we're about to surprise our "fan of the week" right after this.

the rumor is out there. a lot of other celebrities who have had difficult periods have gone on and sort of redeemed themselves. >> has it worked? >> it has worked. look at bristol palin. she made homophobic remarks and made very popular on "dancing with the stars." >> paula deen even said she was asked in 2010 to be on. she said i have catfish arms and a muffin top. >> that's why people love her because she says stuff like that. >> do you think we'll see more of her? >> it's not the end of it for sure. she'll come back whether it's on "dancing with the stars" or not. she's got a lot of fans. she's done a lot of good work with charity that people don't know about. she has apologized over and over. >> why aren't we accepting her apology and why are we not letting other people just get away with bad behavior all the time with no repercussions? >> i think perhaps you don't expect it from a sweet faced, soft spoken woman such as paula deen.

however, apparently they are considering a $2 million offer that's out there. it may be "people" magazine. and the thing is they want to give the money to charity if they do it. >> which i think is a good idea. >> i read somewhere they may reveal the cover on kris jenner's new show. is that a wrinkle? >> pushing for that. >> sounds like it would be a smart thing to do for the first episode. >> they kill two stones at once. make everybody happy. so the b.e.t. awards always make some news. >> and they made news even

before they started because people were calling it the drake show. he had 12 nominations. and then what does he do? he cancels at the last minute. >> why? >> because of chris brown and the fight they had last year and they don't get along and they were fighting over rihanna. >> they are both in the same business. they'll be at the same event. >> did he win? >> he did. he did win three awards. and chris had one. now the thing is we heard at hollywoodlife.com it was about the rivalry. maybe what bugged drake was that chris was opening the show. he did do a great performance. he did not show up with rihanna. >> how about -- >> hoda, hoda, hoda -- >> by the way, i picked it way before. >> weeks before. >> before anyone thought it was hot. he's so cool. >> there were great performances. >> miley and liam. what's going on with them? >> i just want her to get a new look. >> that's part of the problem.

liam is having a tough time with miley's new sexed up image. >> he fell in love with the other girl, right? >> according to him, she jiggles too much and wears too little. >> it's just that's his woman is his attitude. >> she says she's trying to be an artist and she doesn't tell him what to do. >> that's the thing. she looks at what she's doing as a character. a character to sell her new image and her new songs. he does characters, too. >> what topped the box office before we go? >> surprise, right? >> it was "monsters university." >> again. >> but "the heat" that was the big surprise that it did $40 million. it did fantastic. >> lots of women and lots of kids. >> we expected that "white house down" to do better because it's such a fun popcorn summer movie. >> yeah, it did, i think, about $25 million. it was a disappointment with channing tatum and jamie foxx. but women went out for women this weekend. >> lone ranger coming out this week. is it going to do well?

still dealing with that rain into mid-week and likely lasting even longer than that. slowly starting to warm up in some spots in the midwest and sizzling in the southwest and warm throughout parts of the east coast. however, the rain is also going to be falling at the same time. here it is again. that same dhung of green. same area getting rain. it was a very wet june and with this rain falling in places of moist soil, flooding is going to be a big concern this week. even on the 4th of july action be outside, be careful and watch out for the lightning and heavy lane which could lead to florida. by friday, much of the northeast getting a break and southeast seeing showers and storms and from saturday from louisiana up to the ohio valley, a chance of rain. you could see a few in there and then on sunday there's going to be once again still the rain going from parts of texas all

the way into the ohio valley with spotty showers elsewhere in the northeast, and the mid-atlantic, temperatures in the upper 80s. remember weekdays on the weather channel you can wake up with al and stephanie. what do you think about caffeine? we consume over two billion cups of coffee every week without a second thought. 5-hour energy has less caffeine than some starbucks coffees, plus it has vitamins and nutrients. it's simple... caffeine with vitamins and nutrients. it's the combination that makes it so great. before you make a decision, get the facts. try a sip and find out why so many people love 5-hour energy. mike's being healthy and chewing like a man. with one a day vitacraves for men. it's a gummy multivitamin with more b vitamins, which help convert food to energy, and help mike do manly things, like wrestle bears and take out the garbage.
