we had seen him at the wedding before. he wore jeans, a t-shirt, sneakers and a baseball cap. just like anybody else. >> let me tell you, that's why everyone loves them. they sit in coach, wear sneakers and jeans and they're not all surrounded and hoity-toity. i love them. >> he must have had some sort of security detail somewhere. >> sure. >> but it wasn't sitting next to him. >> well, they were in memphis. >> yes. >> do you remember the show we were telling you about, "i want to marry harry" but it's the fake harry? >> it's a look-alike. >> he went to memphis because he knew the real harry was there. >> he's an actor named matthew hicks. he just decided to walk around like a tourist. >> no, they were mobbing him. girls were crying and screaming. >> now, was he staying in character the whole time with his british accent? >> i guess. and apparently he's not even a redhead. >> he's dyed that way. >> anyway, after all the mobbing and the love, he actually was grateful that he wasn't prince harry. he said he couldn't -- >> i'm thankful i'm not the real guy. >> yeah. >> they finished shooting that. >> i hope so.

i feel sorry for the girls. they're going to be all -- when it's all out there, don't you think they're going to wish that they didn't do it? >> yes. >> okay. okay. >> you think? okay. >> okay, on fallon last night, seth rogen, zac efron and jimmy all dressed in drag. and you know they do that recurring sketch called "ill"? well, this "ill" was about taking selfies. let's watch. >> i've been taking them, like, all day. >> oh, good. >> ready? >> go. >> go! >> your turn. >> totally. together? >> yeah. >> okay. >> you have to. >> tag me. >> later, i will, for sure. >> you know what? that's why it's funny because it's so true. i'm so over all the selfie stuff? >> you are? >> over, over, over.

>> at all. but they're pretty. >> from the heel to the pointy toe. it looks like they could fall off your foot, too, because that strap is so low on the back. >> right. have you ever taken your -- >> when al and i were just doing red carpet for the oscars. >> yep. >> i had stood -- i had stood there for about four hours in these heels. >> yeah. >> and, you know, my feet are. i had both of my feet operated on because they were like old lady ballerina feet. and they're beautiful now. thank you, doctor. but they were killing me. like the old days. so i walked through the los angeles streets. yes. you know, you're in that much pain, it's stupid to keep doing it because you might -- there's something dirty down there. wash your feet after. >> but new york city streets, some of them are so nasty. you know what? >> you're not crazy about 48th street. >> you know why? there's all kinds of crud on the street. there are certain streets that are beautiful. 49th is gorgeous. and 50th is -- you could eat off it. >> how well people take care of

it in front of their own little shops. >> weddings, i take off my shoes and dance. >> you just want to show off your gorgeous egyptian feet. let's talk about roger federer. >> he wants to show off his second pair of twins. god bless him. >> remember he's that professional tennis star. 32 years old. he's always soft-spoken and understated, but he's had twins for the second time. >> the first time he had girls, right? >> identical. >> and then this time he's had twin boys. leo and lenny. sounds like a comedy team from the catskills. leo and lenny. who's on first? i don't know. and now presenting the catskills are proud to present leo and lenny. >> i like it. >> unusual names. they have mila and charlene also, their little 3-year-olds. god bless them and congratulations. >> yes. 5-year-olds. >> 5-year-olds, okay. >> whatever. we're tired of being corrected. since we're talking about multiple births, why not talk about this woman? she's 47 years old. she's from miami. she has children who are grown

and gone. >> well, 25-year-old or something? >> yes. out of the house. they're gone away. well, guess what? she just gave birth to triplets. >> triplets. no fertility treatments involved at all. >> she probably thought, oh, well. who cares? i'm not using protection because i'm 47 and it's over. you know what? it's not over. >> barely. >> she had trip letlets. >> can you imagine? >> unbelievable. >> all over? what if you had triplets right now? imagine what that would be like. >> well, i would know they weren't frank's. you know what i'm saying? took care of that problem. okay. >> go. okay. thank you for a little bit of laughter. >> we have to talk about this. this is so important. >> yes, tell me. >> "the voice."

it went through a lot of metamorphosis. they were committed to making it not about romantic love, and they wanted it to be about this really relevant battle between love and fear, which is everybody kind of chooses between -- you just be scared of stuff or you love to do things. >> and your own authenticity. >> yeah, and being unique. that was like the driving force behind the whole thing. it went through so many changes. but in the end, it kind of blossomed into this really beautiful project. >> i love how everything wasn't perfect. you know, everything wasn't about being perfectly beautiful, perfectly anything. it was just -- it's real for kids. >> yeah. it was about the love of family and also a really nice kind of tip of the hat to, okay, all of the old cartoons were amazing, but you don't meet someone on the street and marry them the next day. >> i did once. it didn't work out. >> that's why. >> you've got to get to know people. >> you're right. it's too much about happily ever after. they don't talk about we woke up the next morning and he had bad breath, you know?

yeah. >> therapy or an emotional toolbox. yeah. >> or conscious uncoupling. >> right. >> yes. >> which happened, you know, one out of two. >> when i look at you now, i mean, i've seen you act, and you're great at it. but i've also seen you stand up for yourself and for a lot of other people when you were fighting the paparazzi for chasing kids. i saw you on "access hollywood," i watched you go after those guys, and you were upset and you've made a strong point. you've changed things. >> you won a suit, right? >> no, we didn't win anything. we haven't done anything legally. you know, jen garner and halle berry have been very vocal, and they've passed the senate bill 606. that's in california. i had nothing to do with that. i just simply thought we should be talking to the consumers because i believe there's nothing better than an informed consumer. and i think people want to know what they're purchasing. you vote with your dollars. you support things. >> sure. >> so i just wanted to sort of bring it to the consumer and say hey, something nasty's happening

behind the scenes of these pictures. and i think people look at pictures of kids because they like kids. >> yeah. >> and they wouldn't want the kids to be upset. and the thing is is that you cannot explain to a child this, like, media mechanism. all they feel when they're followed by strangers is that, like, predatory sense. >> yeah. >> you know, of being followed and hunted. >> how old is your little one? >> a year. >> already? >> 14 months. >> oh, my god! >> do you ask yourself -- a little girl, right? >> yeah. >> do you ask yourself on any type of family outing, is it woirt to take my child? >> every time, yeah. >> and what makes you decide yea or nay? >> wow. it depends on where we're going. we don't do anything really interesting. i mean, believe me, a lot of things are covered that they say they're newsworthy. like going to the grocery store isn't newsworthy. we live in a part of town that's kind of quiet. yeah. >> but every child deserves a childhood. you and i were talking about that earlier. >> it kind of impedes their natural social progress.

and to say nothing of, like, no one should be running red lights around school districts. >> it's endangerment. it's reckless endangerment. >> they're pushing kids over at parks. even kids who aren't in the business, their parents aren't in the business are affected. >> they're in the way, right. >> right. >> well, good for you. >> we like you a lot. >> thanks, guys. >> we're so happy to see you. thank you. and brush up on your knowledge of pets and pop culture for a game of "who knew" coming up. and the lovely elizabeth olsen is with us right after this. tillas. so good, they don't need dip. mmmm... not bad, right? i'll have some more! that's a double dip! you... double dipped... new pringles tortillas. you dip 'em or don't. pringles!

"godzilla." in it she plays a nurse who must keep her child safe amid the monster madness taking over her city. >> it's not the paparazzi. it's "godzilla." >> i'm so scared. >> i know. meet me at the house, and i'm going to get you and sam out. >> okay. >> the military has a plan to deal with these things. i'm going to get you both, okay? >> okay. can you please just hurry? >> lizzie's here. >> the girl can act! >> oh, my gosh. >> it's so nice to see you. >> it's good to see you guys again. >> i thought when i saw you were on today, wait a minute. she was just here last week. it was in february about your other film. and you were rushing home to see your beloved boyfriend at the time. but now you're engaged! >> i am. >> congratulations! >> congratulations! >> did you know, when you were here with us last time, that that was probably coming up pretty soon? >> no.

>> he's a 4-year-old playing a 4-year-old. you know, usually they get like a 7-year-old playing a 4-year-old. but garrett edwards, our director, really wanted to get some just like really, you know, real responses out of a kid. he didn't want a kid who was primed at all. it was a lot of improvising and manipulating him to do or say something. >> you get that performance, too. >> is there any extra pressure when there's so much money in a film and so many great actors and extras? do you feel the weight of the world? >> i think i was a little nervous first. but then you're with such an amazing ensemble of actors that you're in the safe zone. >> who else? >> juliette binoche, bryan cranston, ken watanabe. aaron taylor johnson. >> "godzilla." hits theaters may 22nd. thank you so much. and we're playing "who knew" with our crowd after your local messages. >> you love that.

♪ this week we're celebrating moms and all the amazing things they do. and one of those mothers is cindy campbell. you're going to love her. >> cindy's son, ty, lost his battle with a rare and aggressive pediatric cancer in 2012 when he was just 5 years old. since then cindy and her husband, lou, have found a way to honor ty's memory. >> my mouth's not working.

can you feed me my lollipop? or my hand feels funny. can you do it for me? but he wasn't complaining. he just wanted to keep playing, manipulate the toy or show him something. he didn't get worked up over it. >> he was a wise guy, too. he loved nothing more than to tease people. especially us. >> this is a really big mess here. i wonder how we can get that mess cleaned. >> clean that up. abracadabra. clean that up. >> even though he was battling cancer, he talked about jumping in muddy puddles when he got better. and that's why we started the muddy puddles project because that was the epitome of childhood. and that is what ty was all about, laughing, having fun, being a kid. >> cindy and lou created muddy puddles project in conjunction with the ty lewis campbell foundation to raise money for pediatric cancer research and to encourage families to let their

kids just be kids. it's so nice to meet you. >> you are amazing, by the way, we have to say. finding the strength to start an organization like this, when you yourself are going through such fresh pain, how were you able to do that? >> well, as a parent, we went through such, you know, trials and tribulations. and through the whole cancer journey, we saw that the treatment options just weren't available to our son. and it was very frustrating. my husband and i were constantly researching. as you can imagine, you want to do everything you can to save your child. >> you will. >> and you will. we were always asking what can we do differently? what might work this time? let's try something, and it just wasn't available. so my husband and i decided that we were going to dedicate -- we knew then that we wanted to raise money to help support the research, the promise that's out there and help fund some of the projects and the clinical trials and, you know, the muddy puddles project was a great platform to do that. >> and it was just a rare disorder? not enough children suffered

from it in a way? >> the truth is, that's with any child with cancer with the exception of leukemia, there hasn't been much progress made because there's hundreds of different categories and thousands of rare tumors. so childhood cancer is lumped together as a whole but really it's fragmented into hundreds of types of cancer and studied as childhood cancer as opposed to kidney cancer or prostate cancer or breast cancer. >> i hear a little voice from over there. i think your other son is there. >> my son is here. he's 5. >> your dad -- your husband. >> my husband, lou. there he is. the two of you together, you and your husband, are really a force because a lot of times, i mean, it's hard, but marriages sometimes have difficulty making it through something so tough. it seems like it was the opposite for you guys. >> it was. it made us closer because we both felt so -- i mean, the love for ty is just so strong. and it really helped keep our family together through it all. >> he's a magical little guy. >> he's a magical little guy. >> you said you're forever changed. tell us about that. >> you know, i was a typical

working mom. i was stressed over work. i was stressed over dinner, bath, bed and pouring a glass of wine at the end of the day saying life is hard. this is exhausting. and it is on a daily basis. but now i'm forever changed in the sense that i always try to have that perspective, that hey, my son didn't have the chance to do, you know, the future that i thought he would have. and i always try to reflect on that and remind other parents to take a step back. and that's really what the muddy puddles project is all about, to remember let kids be kids because there's kids out there that can't. so, you know, try to always remember that and have that perspective. and those days are so fleeting. >> they sure are. >> days with your kids. >> thank you, cindy. you do so much for other families so we decided, if it's okay with you, we'd like to send you guys to orlando, florida. for four days, three nights. you'll have great hotel accommodations at the castle hotel, round-trip airfare. also included you'll have a two-day, two-park tickets at universal. you can enjoy the parks. just to take a little time for you and your family. >> that's so amazing! thank you so much!

and then the berries, they're so fiber dense and they really fill you up. you get a full cup. >> especially the blackberry, supposed to be the best berry in the whole. >> and the lunch? >> that is a ginormous chicken salad. that's actually the name of it. ginormous. four cups of lettuce with mixed veggies, four ounces of chicken. there's a lot of recipes in the book for homemade dressing. >> i couldn't eat that with a good, delicious dressing soaked in there. >> there are recipes for creamy dressing, spicy dressings, tomatoey dressings, balsamic vinaigrette. olive oil. you can. again, the portion size, look how tremendous. >> that's a monster. >> what are these? >> those are tasting plates in case you're hungry. dig in! those are for you. >> i thought this was a whole portion. >> by the way, it's not just salads. you can have sandwiches, burgers, tacos. it's all on the plan.

>> what's happening here? >> this is my version of chicken parmesan which i make with high-fiber breakfast cereal in a skillet, no frying, no oil. again, instead of pasta, i'm using broccoli slaw, which is a very common product that you find in the supermarket. it's pre-shredded, and it doubles as pasta. you add tomatoes or marinara. >> you boil it? >> in the microwave or skillet. it tastes like pasta with chicken. chicken parmesan is out of this world, truly. >> you want to try? >> why not? >> a little mozzarella on top. >> is it low-calorie mozzarella? >> reduced fat. slightly reduced. there's no difference. >> oh. >> and again, around 350 calories. so you get three meals plus three snacks on the plan. >> this is good. this would be a great day. >>ine. tell everybody about the wine. >> if you want wine, some people have been saying they've been swapping out a snack. i have a margarita recipe. you can have a glass of wine.

i don't say no to anything. i embrace all food. that's what it's about. >> is this dessert? >> this is dessert. it's one of the snacks on the plan. these are chocolate chip-stuffed strawberries. it acts as a little cannoli. this is ricotta cheese. if you're from new york like me, it's ricotta. >> it's ricotta. >> and then a little vanilla. a little sweetener of choice so you don't have to use -- you know, you can use an all-natural sweetener. you just mix that up. these strawberries have been cut. we scooped out a little of the inside to make some room for the filling. >> very cute. >> then you throw this mixture into a little bag. you could use a ziploc bag. you don't need fancy pastry bags. >> how cute. they're very cute. >> and if you like cannolis, you'll love these. >> thank you. this looks delicious. we're going to try them. thank you. >> thank you so much. >> you're welcome. >> we want to point out a big thank-you to the kessler collection and the castle hotel for furnishing accommodations to orlando for cindy and her family and universal for furnishing the tickets.
