arrested. they released a joint statement saying it was an unfortunate incident and misunderstanding. ms. roberts was released after questioning and the couple are working together to move past it. roberts got her first big break in the nick show unfabulous. >> i like old fashioned things. >> reporter: from there she made the jump to the big screen taking on the iconic lead role in the 2007 movie nancy drew. she recently joined american horror story for it's third season. she and evans have been dating about a year. >> she is hollywood royalty and up until this point she has been the child star we have all known and loved and to see her being arrested and the huge headlines of domestic violence, it's really shocking. >> reporter: roberts was released. no charges were filed but the incident has caught many off guard. >> their relationship and then evan, it has seemed pretty smooth sailing up until this point. hopefully this is just a one time situation for emma.

consequences. >> if someone had a predisposition to arrhythmia and they were working on and on top of that were taking a stimulant could it increase the . risk of death? absolutely. >> dmaa is found in jacked. >> it's being sold as a super caffeine or really a replacement for ephedra which was removed years ago. >> is this an anphetamine? >> it's not but it behaves the same way. >> even after the fda receives reports that several deaths may have been linked to the controversial stimulant, dmaa, they all defended the safety of the ingredient. after the rock center report in april, the company began to

phase out the product and under continued pressure from the fda, they have now destroyed $8 million of the sports nutrition products, the entire's company inventory. other manufacturers stopped making dmaa after a warning letter went out last year. while the fda cannot ban supplements they used public pressure to get it off the market. >> we used any tool at our disposal to make it clear we didn't want it in the hands of consumers and were prepared to make that happen. >> they warn that products containing dmaa may still be on shelves. so make sure to read the labels. >> nbc news reached out to usp labs for comment but they have yet to provide a statement to us. it goes to the bigger picture of how unregulated the big supplement industry is and there's a lot of money at stake. >> this is an extraordinary step to destroy the entire inventory. 8 million worth of the product.

that speaks to the danger of it and the pressure the company was feeling. >> there were enough reported deaths in young people that they really paid attention, rising pressure from the fda and from consumers and, you know, a lot of reports that frankly the fda said enough is enough and everybody else conceded. >> other companies stopped producing it. does that mean you're not going to find it on some shelf somewhere. >> left over stock may still be on some shelves. it's a reminder to people. pick up the jars. look at it. anything that says geranium extract, or dmaa, take it to the register and tell them to throw it away. don't buy it. this is potentially dangerous stuff and doesn't have any benefit. >> back to the point you were making a couple of seconds ago, this whole area, is in a lot of people's views very unregulated or underregulated. >> they hate it when we say this but they don't have the same bar

that pharmaceutical companies have to go through to get drugs to development. when you buy something from your local health food store it may help, it may not help and it could hurt you. at least know what you're taking and recognize that a person behind the cashier register isn't a all right. savannah, thank you, now to a brave young girl who took the internet by storm. talia joy castelano. with her youtube videos. sadly she passed away from cancer. here's gabe gutierrez. >> reporter: in her short life. talia had already been a makeup artist. >> i'm going use the waterproof one, because it's nighttime. who knows if i'm going to cry. >> a youtube sensation. and honorary cover girl.

we have the angle here and you want something that doesn't sit too far down on the forehead. for this reason, the classic fedora is perfect. >> where can we find a model for the square face? apparently here. i learned about myself this morning. >> it's parallel almost to the cheekbones. so you want something that gives a rounder curve. so we have the perfect floppy hat here and also a big brim. >> like this. >> look how cute. it's so dramatic. very jackie o. >> i like it very much. >> big pair of sunglasses. you're rocking. >> i like the color. >> square shaped face by the way very down to earth and they're doers not thinkers. >> i like to do and think. >> thank you very much. tomorrow we'll tackle the art of wearing a suit. coming up next, martha stewart's

secret ingredient for staying cool in the summer. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

we're back now with martha on today. martha stewart is here to help us beat the heat with tasty treats just in time for national blueberry month. nice to see you. >> it is blueberry month. i was telling you that my blueberries were more prolific than they have ever been. >> share that's great. >> we're eating one of those. >> this say great pop of blueberry yogurt and strawberry. you purr puree it and put it in the popsicle maker, freeze it, healthy, delicious. just a tiny bit of sugar. another thing to do is put your blueberries, pint or quarter in the freezer just like that. they're tasty snacks. >> okay. >> they're really good. >> i'm double fisting. >> i'm going to put this down.

>> one thing that everybody loves because it is not really to beat the heat, it's to make a pie. a blueberry pie and everybody loves blueberry pie. >> is it easy? >> so easy. you have your rounds of pastry already. if you have martha's pastry ready in your freezer it's easy. >> yeah right. >> line your pie dish with a round of dough. >> okay. >> and that's your bottom crust. and then you can fit this right in and then mix your blueberries with cornstarch -- you have the ingredients there. a little lemon juice. some butter. like two tablespoons of butter and sugar and this is the filling. it's the most simple filling on earth. >> you said cornstarch right? >> yeah you could use flower but

i find cornstarch is a nice clear juice to the pie. this is 8 cups of blueberries. put that right in your shell. i hope this all fits. running over. and these are maine blueberries. do you know the difference between maine blueberries -- >> and the ones you grow. >> the high bush. they're the ones that grow in new jersey and farmed berries. >> these look a little small. >> are they tart? >> no, they're sweeter. in maine, they will not look at a large blueberry. i like new jersey blueberries because i come from new jersey. >> is it supposed to run over like this. >> it's not supposed to but the dish is smaller than it was meant to be. >> just checking. >> and working in this heat is a little difficult. i'm going to dump this on the ground and your top crust goes right on. you can fold it over like this. oh boy this is a beautiful pie.

you could make it a lattice. >> i was wondering about that. >> do you mind if i make mine a solid top. >> no yours will be a solid top. >> use flour and crimp the edges and cut them off just like that and cut slits for seams and will you brush the top with egg. >> how long does something like this take to bake martha. >> it could take about an hour. start it off hot. bake it hot. secret is make it cold bake it hot. that's the golden rule of pies. don't you love that. >> sometimes blueberry pie gets a little soggy. how do you avoid that so it doesn't soak through the crust on the bottom. >> cooking it well. you have to cook it until the blueberries in the single of the pie are bubbled. that's why you must cut a little slit here. you can do decorative slits if you're not going to do a lattice. do you want to see the rest of the things down here. >> lots of sugar.

here's another nice thing for you is nice lemonade, fresh lemonade with blueberries in it. take one of these. that's one of the most refreshing ways to beat the heat. those are maine blueberries and here's the lattice pie. it bubbles in the middle. that's when you take it out of the oven. it's going to take anywhere from 45 to maybe 60 minutes to bake a blueberry pie. and this is a blueberry sour cream pound cake with a little bit of whipped cream. want to taste that. >> i'd love to. >> i think you'll like that. that's a good cake. >> and blue napkins as well. >> everything blue. >> thank you so much. >> except you. >> no. i didn't get the memo. >> coming up next, danielle bradbery, the 16-year-old winner of the voice will perform live out here but first this is "today" on nbc.

wednesday morning, july 17th, 2013. hot and steamy and sticky outside. inside in the nice air conditioning. i'm willie geist with al roker and the lovely, the talented vanessa williams got up early for us even though she is starring on broadway. so good to have you back here. >> thank you so much. >> still grinding. 8 shows a week, right.

>> 8 shows a week. >> it's spectacular. >> thank you. it's a joy to do and especially with the magnificent cicily tyson. >> the reviews are incredible for this. we have to check in with natalie across the pond in london on royal baby watch. there's not a bay to watch so she is knitting. >> that's nice. >> what are you booting? >> i think you dropped a stitch. >> i'm hedging my bets here, pink for a girl or blue for boy. i picked up apparently i'm very talented when it comes to knitting. little girl booties or boy booties. >> a little bit of free time on her hands. >> we're not going to be impressed unless the blanket says god save the queen. >> there you go. >> natalie as long as you're going to be over there have you looked into real estate? at this point it could be weeks. it could be months. we just don't know. >> not a bad idea. i think i'm going to start looking at rentals at least for the summer. >> you look a little preoccupied so we'll let you get back to work. >> we'll send pictures of josh and luke your way. >> they're getting so big now.

>> yeah, well, you know, nat, don't worry. i'll be taking josh to college. all right we'll see you in a little bit. >> well, vanessa, let's talk about the show. the reviews have been incredible. al says it's one of the best shows he's ever seen. what's it like to be back on the stage for you? >> the reason why i was back is for her. i keep going on about her but it's one of those performances you need to see. >> you marvel. you're sitting there and watching how she transforms. especially when she gets -- >> free of me and the apartment. >> and does that dance in the bus station and the audience, it literally is like a revival. >> yeah. it's like a passing of time. it's the yearning to go back home and relive your roots and it goes across every socioeconomic level. everyone is in tears. everyone has some kind of thought whether it's your own

parents, your grandparents or your own journey. >> it's such a terrific cast. >> cuba gooding is in it. >> cuba is in it. we just lost her. she is doing romeo and juliet. it's phenomenal. >> when you compare all of these things, whether it's tv or movies, being on this stage, is that your real passion, broadway? >> stage is my home. i majored in musical theater and i have done summer theater growing up so it's nice to be back. you can't fake it. >> right. >> you have presence or you don't. that was my first big broadway show. that's what i love about it. you're the real deal and either you've got it or you're not. i love to go out there and not only prove but just emotions bo -- embody the characters. i tend to play a lot of

narcisists. >> what do the kids think when they see you on stage? >> they think it's funny. it's like being a brat. i get away with everything. i get away with murder and keep doing it over and over again. i love it. >> if you're coming to new york city you have to see it. it's an incredible show and we'll have you here all week. let's talk about cory monteith, the tragic news from the cast of "glee." the coroner's office confirmed the cause of death for monteith. he did die of an overdose of heroin and alcohol. the coroner said there was no evidence to suggest the death was anything other than a most tragic accident. he talked openly about his struggles with addiction. he was on inside the actor's studio. he said his struggle began about the age of 12. he did his first stint in rehab about the age of 19 and finished another one earlier this year but was doing better. >> it just shows you how tough a grip substance abuse can be for people and to break that is no

easy people, you know, kind of -- well, why don't you just kick the habit. you can't. it's not that easy. >> it's a disease. >> and i have a 13-year-old so she was devastated and stricken but it's a good example to show them that drugs are dangerous and can kill you. >> doesn't matter, famous, rich, poor, black, white, anybody can be effected by this. >> he looked happy and looked like he was doing better in the days and hours after people said they thought he was doing so much better. his long time girlfriend and cast member lea michelle put out a statement. she is devastated. her people say lea is deeply grateful for the love and support from family friends and fans since cory's passing. she has been grieving along side his family and making appropriate arrangements with them. they're supporting each other as they endure this profound loss together. we continue to ask the media to respect the privacy of lea and

cory's family. someone that came up in the business. he obviously had a problem. but you started pretty young. >> 20. >> yeah but that's young. >> yeah but in retrospect i had a chance to be who i was and i had two wonderful parents that were there to support me and guide me and i had a relatively normal life. i did write a book and i was lucky to be supported. >> and this was preinternet and twitter. >> you could fail on a private letter. >> it wasn't sent virally across the world. >> instantly. this is across the entertainment world. our condolences go out to his family. something else i want to show you, this chea commercial, it h little girl with a white mom and her black father. at the time, the vice president of marketing for cheerios said

consumers responded positively to the add. we know there's many kinds of families and we celebrate them all. now the film makers have created a video in which a group of children are shown the commercial and we love some of their reactions. >> people have gotten very angry about this commercial. >> why? >> why? >> why is that exactly? >> how do they get angry over -- but what? >> they're angry because they're mixed race parents? >> they're angry because they're mixed race parents. do you know what that means. >> yep. >> one's white and one's black. >> that's exactly why people have gotten upset. >> why? >> i don't think that that is fair. >> when was this video made the 19 50s? that's so stupid. >> but some people just fall in love like that. >> oh. >> isn't that cool. >> that is perfect right there. >> i think there was a lot of

talk about this in the media. there was a dprogroup of people online that had that reaction but most people looked at that and didn't bat an eye. there's a subset of people that were offended or had a racist reaction to it but i think the reaction of most adults would be more similar to the kids. >> we're doing a good job raising our kids. >> what does it matter if you're black or white? it's if you're nice or mean? and boiled it all down. you should watch the whole king. it's cool. let's get back to natalie. we'll check in on booties and see how that is coming along. >> you mean the things she is knitting. >> why? >> and natalie, we understand you got an interview with the queen. >> yes, an exclusive with the queen. >> wow. yes, actually the queen today

was asked by a very young reporter a question about the royal baby soon to be. take a listen [ inaudible ] >> i'm going on holiday. >> three cheers. >> there you go. three cheers. >> now, if you couldn't quite hear that, she was asked guys whether or not she -- whether she would prefer a boy or a girl for the great grandchild and she said she didn't mind either one but she hoped it was soon because she is going on vacation next week. a sentiment a lot of us are feeling. let's let it happen sooner rather than later. but william and kate, by the way, we are being told by reporters here that it appears they're splitting their time between bucklebury and london

all awaiting kate going into labor. and until that happens, though, there's a lot of money to be made. betting, as you know, a very lucrative business here and betting on all things royal and particularly royal baby names. they put a lot of effort and thought into this. the top names right now in girls are heavily favored here, alexandra, charlotte and elizabeth. for boys, george, james and phillip. we have been asking our viewers to weigh in online as well and you guys have some of those results. >> we do. we do. the survey on today.com, the top three girl names we found were -- if we can put them up on the screen. >> we don't have them. >> we don't actually have them so put them on the screen and then we can read them. >> william. >> there it is. >> i think diana was -- you know and what's interesting about that is talking to a royal

historian is that's not likely to be a first name because it would be very controversial. prince william already gave catherine the wedding band so that would be a think a little too much for a lot of people. the press would probably seize on that. there could though be a middle name or one of the four names they pick. until then we're on stand by all waiting and by the end of the week i'll be speaking with a british accent as well. >> two more days you're eligible for dual citizenship. >> pretty soon i will be. >> we'll catch up with you a little bit later with the booties. >> not rum shaking. >> let's show you what's going on as far as your weather is concerned. big high pressure system. this thing is building out to the west which is unusual and so the heat now stretches from the northeast where we have got feels like temperatures well over 100 degrees. that's why we have heat warnings, excessive heat

warnings. heat advisories for 16 states. as we move to the west, temperatures will feel like 100 in parts of michigan, ohio, on into indiana and we make our way further into the central plains with with feels like yep. you just heard it from al himself, as two-thirds of the country, 90 degree-plus readings. we don't have any 90s on our forecast, for today, low clouds, you can see them situated over san jose, high, 79 degrees, 75 for fremont. right around 88 degrees, not too hot, even in the hot city 88 in livermore today. here is the deal. we will warm you up in the 90s, we head through friday and saturday. more humidity comes into play sunday into monday. so today is the last day of 80s. wlap that's your latest weather. >> one way to beat the heat is go over the isobar. you look good while you're doing it. that's the big thing.

>> oh, yeah. >> i double dog dare you. >> there it is. >> you know what, they have the humidity level at zero and so you don't stick. >> oh, you really went back in. >> yeah, i kept trying. they have actually memorialized that area. they put a rope around it. >> no, that's just a hazmat scene they have created. >> they have ice glasses so if you click them they break. >> al, thanks. up next, the latest break [ female announcer ] it's a mountain grown morning with folgers lively colombian. it's deliciously dark, just before dawn. it's welcoming the sunrise with a taste of vanilla biscotti. with folgers gourmet selections, you can enjoy a variety of roasts and flavors from one perfectly brewed k-cup or a freshly brewed carafe. ♪ turn any day gourmet with folgers gourmet selections. ♪

prevalent in older women. >> and for men and women bring genetic risks. >> we hear about the biological clock all the time. when does it start ticking for a woman? what's the age. >> every year it goes down. >> but is there a certain age at which women start to worry i'm in the danger zone? like at 35. >> we know the risk of down syndrome and other abnormalities go up at the arbitrary age of 35 but the reality is with every year -- there's a risk for being too young and there's a risk for being too old. when we talk about careers and family and et cetera it's hard as to what's smart but we made these cutoffs that i'm not sure are smart. >> they're highly individual. there's no one age for everybody. some women are fertile at 42 and some are infertile at 32. you have to make good decisions. we're not here to make people worry about waiting too long but they should know what they're

>> okay, well, it's a girl who's pretty empowered and knows what she wants and is really confident about going after things she wants, but also has a cool air about her. >> let's read a quote from your book so we know what we're talking about here. this is about people being shallow. being shallow and judging people solely on their appearances is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. on the contrary, it's the wisest way to live, if only for the sake of efficiency, who doesn't actually judge a book by its cover. is that funny ha-ha or do you mean it? >> how much is tongue in cheek? it goes so much against what we've been taught about how to be a contributing member of the planet and make things better for everybody, not just our selfish selves. >> of course. i mean, a lot of it has elements of truth to it, which, obviously, we see, you know, everywhere in society, but at its heart, it's satire,

extremely exaggerated, devil on your shoulder whispering what you're thinking but wouldn't say out loud. >> you say it's not great to be nice and it's okay to be late because you deserve it. >> when we say nice, it's not so much should you be a nice person and not, i don't know, bitchy to people, but you shouldn't really let people take advantage of you and walk all over you. >> not be a door mat. >> here's the late quote, because we're both weirdly on time, we're actually both early for every lunch. here it is, we simply don't have time to be on time. being late is a way to show people that you're better than them, and, therefore, that your time is more valuable. >> right. >> okay, you take that one. >> we read it properly. >> it's really about how why should we wait for other people when they should be waiting for us, but there are exceptions to this rule. we came very early here. >> of course, you did. >> because you want something from us. >> here's the thing, okay, you

can say that, but then when somebody's late for something that matters to you -- >> that's not okay. >> you can go crazy about that. >> how do you account for this book being so popular? >> i think we were saying a lot of the things that a lot of girls our age in our generation are thinking, but they are not really saying out loud, so i think it is almost like a guilty pleasure, like, we can watch this and relate to these things but we would never say them out loud but someone else is so they want to read it. >> ladies, we wish you good luck with this book. tomorrow -- >> wanda sykes and surprise makeover for lucky viewers. have an [ female announcer ] when you asked us to remove
