why go so public for whatnot a lot of people noticed. nbc's katy tur is in london. >> reporter: good morning. it's one of the most speculated relationships out there, george clooney, a notorious bachelor getting engaged to a beautiful human rights lawyer. the tabloids have been out since day one trying to get dirt on the couple. now that "the daily mail" issued a very public apology, others might be thinking twice before they go to press. it took 12 hours for george clooney to public tear apart "the daily mail" accusing them of lying and inciting violence. when it wrote his girlfriend's mother opposed their married and religious traditions that end with the death of the bride. the tabloid has an online read ship of 52 millions up and only a few hours after that do what they almost never dorks take down the story and apologize.

yes accept mr. clooney's assurance that the story is inaccurate and we apologize to him, miss amal al mud din and his mother ball yeah for. the actor known not just for starring roles in ocean's 11 and gravity, but for his humanitarian efforts in darfur says the mail's lie involves larger issues, the irresponsibility in this day and age to exploit religious differences where none exist is at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous. a moral victory for the academy award winning actor, but some wonder if he only made the drama bigger. >> he's a social advocate. is it just keeping with his persona. >> i might have just zipped it and moved on. everybody to take is talking about this. it's a huge store richlt when it came out a couple days ago, nobody noticed it. nobody cared, only george. >> regardless, clooney now joins a small group of celebrities who have stood up to the paper and

won including j.k. rowling and elton john who both successfully sued "the mail" for liable, not the chance to set the record straight on a number of lingering rumors. yes, he is engaged. no, they're not getting married at downton abbey and no, he won't be the next governator of california. the apology came on page two today. in it they blame it on the online edition. they say it was not a fabrication but supplied in got faith by a reputable and trusted freelancer. >> katy tur on the story in london, thanks. could this be decision day part two. tamron is on duty on the king james watch. what's happening? >> he's leaving. >> he's staying. >> what do you say? argentina? >> i switched to argentina. >> yes, the speculation, the decision 2.0.

way back reuniting. outside quicken loans arena there are thousands of people to see if wine colored smoke comes out from the raff. #kingjames. we're asking you, let us know, should lebron go back to the cavs? should he stay with the heat? he and his wife are expecting their third child, a baby girl. a lot of changes in his life. so far instant poll shows 62% say he should go to the cavs. 38% say bye-bye heat. craig melvin and i got into a huge debate. he says lebron james leaving the cavs on national tv was like a guy breaking up with his girlfriend in front of all of us. i said, listen craig, there must have been a good boyfriend because the girlfriend wants him back. >> it's like breaking up and inviting everyone to watch. i'm also leaving you for a younger hotter model. >> when your boyfriend is a

out. >> how about this? one man had a terrifying 30 hours trapped in a jail. far rad pope went to jail last weekend to visit his son. he checked himself in and was told to go down the hallway. after doors shut behind him, he found himself locked in. banged on the walls and the door. nobody heard him because there was about two feet of cement between the room and hallway. finally he climb into a stool and broke off a sprinkler nozzle. the fire department came the next morning and found him wet. this is at the cook county jail. >> having been a reporter for many, many years and been inside that jail, that is odd. how they didn't have cameras see him go in the room and how they didn't have someone to escort him. this is not "orange is the new black." >> this isn't camp. this place is tough. how did they not see him.

german word that in english translates to insane, which is exactly what i am. the raft can hold three people. so i met up with fellow riders to take the plunge. >> between all of us we have to weigh 400 to 550 pounds. we're a go. >> reporter: we were given heart rate monitors and read a short list of rules. >> it could result in injury, death, illness, disease. are there any questions about anything? >> the death part? >> reporter: you can't do the big drop without the big climb. >> i'm ready with my selfie cam, 264 steps. no problem. i'm in shape. one, two, three, four -- 113, 114, hundred something. i think we're at 158. >> same height as high agra

does that help? >> food helps over the long term. you want to get as many nutrients as you can. that's the perfect world. most people will need a little help. that's why they call them supplements. a multivitamin, 100% of the requirements can help you, especially with things like vitamin b 12. we know about sodium and calcium. magnesium is something used all over the body, especially in your nervous system. having enough of these, the most you can get from a variety of foods, things you eat every day. >> thank you very much. if you want more of the tips, head to today.com. back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc.
