here is kathie lee's -- look closely. this isn't just bambino, lola and louis. >> happiness is finding shelter in the shadow of our flag. happy birthday america. it was a hot sunny day and those guys found that one spot in our backyard. >> beautiful. >> that makes me instantly looking at them puts me in a great mood. another picture, nicole is visiting us. he actually works as an intern here and she is here. doesn't she make you happy? >> she makes me mad because she is 20 and gorgeous. >> exactly. speaking of gorgeous. >> it's a good day. >> "people" magazine is out with the hottest bachelors. look at the front cover. we had this guy on several times. >> i almost came back from vacation last week when i heard he was going to be on. >> look at him.

>> i don't like them putting hollywood's hottest over his belly button because you can't see the whole torso. >> in here there is a crazy -- look. oh. look. there is more. it's not over, joe. look right there. wow. >> usually guys that gorgeous just don't do it for me. i'll make an exception for him. >> he is so nice. >> he comes to play. remember he was in "magic mike" and came out dancing. >> i like him. >> they give you single guys in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s and then they stop there. >> i was at the beach with him once. >> when? >> a few years ago. >> what are you talking about? >> we were at a beach club in malibu with his family.

his mom is my dear friend. >> how did you leave that out of a conversation that we have had over the years. >> and then i saw him again at army's wedding. now that army is pregnant i hope i see him at the baby party. in this edition there is a whole page dedicated to the royals. >> guess who made the list. the biggest heartbreaker of the year, prince george. he is delicious. he is just -- >> they said for 2034. >> clint eastwood's son featured. >> he looks like his dad when he was doing the spaghetti westerns. >> and then some of the grand sons are very famous including gregory peck's grandson. i don't know why they didn't leave these guys on the list. there is mike. although the shorts do nothing

for cody. who is sexier than him? although he is married to a mad russian so he is discounted. >> i love that he got two hits on the show. world cup fever. i believe we can win. something about the rhythm. speaking of rhythm. guess who started playing guitar. me. >> you started learning the guitar. >> i know two chords. down, down, down, up, down. >> can i make a request? >> down, e, a. >> 7:30 every morning in hair a makeup. >> do it to "hey jude". >> it is only four chords. you go hey jude strum, strum, na, na, na.

i'm getting good at it. >> don't do it in public. learn how to do it and then play us a song but the process -- world cup starts today, the big game is at 2:00. >> i believe that we can win. i believe that we can win. we have to beat belgium at 4:00. that's it. >> it is not the end of the world if we lose. it is a game. >> no. >> i can't stop cheering. social cues. have you ever forgotten your friend or spouse's birthday? >> let's go back to what you just said, speaking of the world cup? what does it have to do with it? >> that's exactly right. the question came up, a guy was so into the world cup that

he totally forgot his fiance's birthday. and she still hasn't said anything or acknowledged it. >> has he? >> obviously not. he is writing to phil. >> if you are writing to phil because you forgot her birthday you should probably talk to her. >> he said basically i don't know. i don't know what he said. >> what did he say since you are the only one who knows anything? >> have you forgotten a birthday? you don't forget? >> i wouldn't want to be able to remember what i was wearing on o everyday and everything that happened. that would drive me crazy i always make sure i call -- >> yours is coming up.

>> it's a milestone. >> so is yours. >> yours is coming up, too. thank goodness. i can do without the milestones for a while. >> if you've ever wanted to spend part of your life with bradley cooper. >> if you're honor, who wasn't. >> your name is daniel davis. she started an account called my life with bradley cooper. she has a life-sized cut out of bradley cooper. >> which is a big red flag right there. >> and she posts him cooking with bradley cooper. reading to bradley cooper in bed. even grocery shopping with badly cooper. she says her husband seems uninterested in these photos. >> daniel has met him once. they were going to play together. >> anyway. that's very strange. >> when people show up at signings you know, for me -- >> yeah. >> for stuff, and stuff. they sometimes bring out life-size cut outs. accept i'm not flat.

do you know what i'm saying? one guy i was out in new jersey a couple of months ago and a guy shows up with a life-sized cut out with me with the rain -- what's it alled. that rain -- about 30 years ago i shot that. >> yes. >> he saved a cut out in his house. >> it's what he does with it while he has it for 30 years. i don't know but it cheesed me out. i have to tell you. >> don't say cheese. >> don't of have one made of you is my point. >> all right, ladies. we've got to move on. don't we? >> yes. time to move on. it's controversial. it really is. some big changes that are going to impact maybe your next trip to the doctor's office. it's not going to impact mine. i'm sticking with what -- >> we'll talk about the other side of it, too. and why do guys think they know everything about everything? our handsome man panel weighs in? >> i wonder if the divorced guy

>> on december 2, 2013 i was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. i led an extremely healthy lifestyle. i was starring in "motown" on broadway. i wasn't having symptoms. >> at 34 she went to her gynecologist for her annual visit. a doctor noticed a cyst on her ovary had grown larger and was confirmed to be cancer. >> knowing how small it had been initially and the growth that it did within a year's time was very significant. the first time i had a pelvic exam it was uncomfortable. i will tell you it is not the worst thing in the world. it's fairly easy compared to what it could be. >> she is now cancer free and is featured in a psa encouraging women to be their own best health advocate. >> to know your body is really the most powerful gift to give

to yourself. >> an assistant professor and practices family medicine at georgetown university medical center. welcome. >> hi, ladies. we have you on opposite ends of this controversial decision that came out today. tell us your points of view. why do you think people should continue to go? >> i think one of the most important reasons that pelvic exams are important for women is it gives a baseline sense of a woman's anatomy each year. if i do a pelvic exam if there are changes from year to year much like you heard in the prior film i will be able to feel it and detect new findings like fibroids, ovarian cysts, pelvic pain, the list is lengthy. >> makes sense. >> if she hadn't gone the next year.

>> this is a terrible story. i could have brought a story of a woman who had a finding who went on to have surgery and had a lot of complications. there are harms to the exams. so they should not be discounted. the number of women who actually have pathology that is meaningful clinically and will save their lives if we find it early is very small. >> the guidelines mention very few studies on this at all. so really there is not a lot of data looking at pelvic exams in women and the long term consequences of what has been found. >> and if they had not gone for a mammogram. and to me those statistics mean nothing if it is somebody you love, it is your mother, you, your best friend. i think this is all about money. that is my personal feeling of it. >> i agree with you. i don't think it is about money.

when it is your mom or any individual this is a terrible situation. however, we can't make clinical decisions based on anecdotal situations. those people who did the study looked at 60 years worth of studies. there are not a lot out there but looked at more studies. >> there were zero studies on benign findings on pelvic exams. >> the down side, they say it is costly. number two, it is uncomfortable. it seems like both of those things are sort of a yawn. if you end up getting a diagnosis for something and you do surgery you don't need you see that issue. why not really? >> there is not much you can really find on the pelvic exam in a woman who is completely asymptomatic. the things you can find that if you find them early make a

difference in extending her life -- >> find it early. >> i don't agree with that. i have many women who have no complaints when they come in. they don't vocalize any issues. i will find benign things possibly and they will say i feel a 5 centimeter fibroid. it is an important part of education and counseling. >> do you think it will change anything? >> i hope it changes some of the practices. i think this is a ritual that is not evidence-based. i hope the practice changes and i hope we get to do fewer pelvic exams. >> how many pelvic exams do you do as a family practitioner? >> i deliver babies and do thousands a year. she says she finds a lot. i don't find a lot. listening to her or me is not the point. the point is listening to the science. >> i think there needs to be more research. >> healthy debate.

we walk down the street and people be like he must have money. >> what do you think? >> i think every woman looks better in heels. i don't care how tall she is. >> how high? >> i never had that problem. i am 6'3" and never dated a woman taller than me or my height. >> i'm in. >> that's why it would be fascinating. if you are over a certain height. >> let me get a quick e-mail. i noticed many men speak with 100% confidence and authority they know little about. how do you handle getting found to be totally wrong about things? do you find your overconfidence an asset? >> i love the fact that this woman insulted all men in the form of a question. anonymously. >> clearly have not learned a lesson.
