>> causing a real burden on a lot of people, health issues for a lot of elderly and sickly people. please, try to be smart. >> you know what's funny, my sister -- >> check on elderly neighbors, everybody. >> my sister lives in dubai. >> which is hotter than this. >> by the way, i remember when i got to dubai, it was 120. it was like as if you put your head in an oven, it was that kind of hot. you have a headache. my sister was like, oh, my gosh, it's cooling off. >> your body acclimates. i couldn't stay long enough to acclimate. >> people were eating outside, sitting outside in cafes in that kind of heat. just having tea and coffee. >> i went walking with cass and we were going to walk our five miles into town and get a pedicure. we walked for two and a half miles, stopped at dunkin' donuts. it was over. called frank, come and get us. cass thought i was a wimp. you know what, i don't enjoy it when it's that hot. it's not smart for elderly people. >> you are not elderly.

>> thanks for being here. >> look at fred on youtube and see what the world lost when this man left us. he was brilliant. >> speaking of passings, we have a little bit more information, you guys, on cory monteith. a lot of people knew he was battling with drug addictions in the past. >> he was very open about it. >> turns out the coroner's report did say he did suffer from an overdose of heroin and alcohol. and the coroner also said there's no evidence to suggest that mr. monteith's death was anything other than a most tragic accident. you know, he was in rehab. >> in april. >> in april, and i think, you know, we don't know exactly what happened, but i think sometimes what does happen, and if you've known people who have gone through intensive rehab, sometimes if you're out of rehab, you're clean, then go back to doing the same amount of drugs you did. >> much more damaging. >> it can really be jarring to the body. we don't know exactly if that's the case or not. >> apparently from friends and who he worked with, he almost lived sort of a double life. showed up for work clean, ready,

able, prepared, and not using at all, but when he would go home to vancouver, which is such a beautiful place, he just -- the demons were there, old friendships and old habits. and our prayers go out to his family and to, of course, lea michele, who lost her love. >> she did issue a statement and her statement is this, lea is deeply grateful for love and support she's received from friends, family, and fans. since cory's passing, lea has been grieving with cory's family and enduring this profound loss together and again are asking for privacy. >> everybody asks, but they rarely get it, you know? kanye west is a in the news for a couple of reasons. >> yeah. >> one, we'll talk about in a second, which is a t-shirt issue. there's a piece of tmz video and tmz always captures people at the opportune moment, if you know what i mean. harvey levin. >> he's a genius.

>> he is a tmz genius. this is one where kanye was confronted by one of the t tmz papparazzo, is that the singular? >> yeah. >> anyway, one guy. a camera guy, a camera dude, and he started talking to kanye and kanye didn't like being spoken to at all, so let's just listen to this piece of tape. >> yo, what's up, i'm a big fan. i love your work. i love your work. >> i appreciate it, but don't talk. that's fine, but don't talk to me. i don't want to hear paparazzi talk to me or anybody i know. >> i'm a reporter. >> no, don't talk to me at all. >> i'm a huge fan. >> don't talk to anyone i know at all, and tell everybody, never talk to anyone that anyone knows. don't talk to themselves. don't talk ever again. >> i love you, though. i do love you, though, kanye.

kanye, what about the thrown two with jay-z? people are pumped. >> yo, i said don't talk! >> what was that tirade? >> that was a lot of talking about don't talk.

but knowing someone is there and their job was to poke you, he kept repeating i love you and kept screaming don't talk, don't talk, don't talk. >> i'd love one of them to say that to me. i'd french kiss the guy, you know? come on. i mean, if somebody's yelling out insults and stuff, but just i love you man, just say love you, too, and keep going. >> i don't want any of you guys to talk. >> are you still talking? it just doesn't make sense. nobody likes to be -- everything's heightened and it's hot and everybody's on the red alert a little bit. >> i think the thing is, look, none of us know, you know, what it's like to be followed to that degree, what it must feel like if every time you turned around someone was standing right there blocking you and maybe you start losing your marbles, but if you're him and you're aware that, you know, you're trying to live this certain life -- >> here's the thing, when you become a celebrity, you got to understand that 50% of your job

is when you go -- when you leave your home. >> yep. >> it just is. >> yep. >> and we all -- listen to me, we, we who have been around a long time are deeply grateful for all of your fans. thank god you have fans and thank god you still have them after a lot of years. it's not like you're obligated to spend the rest of your life with them, but be gracious. if they are being nice, be nice back. if they are being rude, get away as soon as you can. you know, nobody wins in a situation like that except for harvey levin. >> harvey likes winning, certainly does. >> love you, harvey. there are some really crazy pbs commercials. >> are you still talking! >> pbs is sick and tired of reality shows. that's the headline, so they put out these promos, commercials, we're going to let you know that they are a fake, but just take a look at them. >> this summer there's a new family stepping into the
