meeting the queen today to discuss the allegation, remember, he is fifth in line to the throne. the claim from a civil case in florida, it is prompted a response from buckingham palace itself. it's a potential scandal with the power to rock the royal family. the palace is strongly and repeatedly denying that prince andrew, the queen's second son, had sexual relations with a minor. any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue one royal statement said. andrew who cut short a ski vacation will be furious. >> he will be angry, kicking anything that comes in sight because he knows he's innocent. >> reporter: the allegations emerged from court papers filed in florida as part of a civil case against the u.s. government over their handling of the prosecution of andrew's former friend jeffrey epstein who pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution.

>> this was a secret deal, a non-prosecution agreement, made between epstein and his lawyers in the u.s. government. >> it's claimed in the documents that an underage girl identified as jane doe 3 was forced to have sexual relations with prince andrew. and the woman claims she's even met the queen. the palace denies any record of a meeting. the court papers also accuse harvard law professor alan dershowitz having sex with the same underage woman. he says he never even met the alleged victim. there is no court case against the prince or dershowitz, but the proceedings could be drawn out. >> there will be multiple investigations and multiple cases. this is something we need to see play out. it's going to play out over a number of years. >> reporter: jeffrey epstein issued a statement saying these are stale, rehashed allegations that lawyers are attempting to repackage and spice up adding the names of prominent people

and the alleged victim has said i am looking forward to vindicating my rights as an innocent victim and pursuing all available recourse. and she says the response she had is exactly the reason while sexual abuse victims typically remain silent she says matt, i am not going to be bullied back into silence. >> thank you very much. alan dershowitz named in that suit is with us now. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i was reading a pre-interview with our producer, it appears you are not only prepared to defend yourself but about to go on the offensive. let's get to the basics. your response to the allegations that you had sex with an underage girl all those years ago. what is your response? >> totally false and made up. she claims i had sex with her on jeffrey epstein's island. i was on the island once with my wife, daughter, a prominent professor, his wife, in-laws and children. i was never out of the sight of my wife.

she claims i had sex with her on epstein's ranch in new mexico. record shows i was at the ranch once with friends with my wife and my daughter, for about an hour, the house wasn't complete. epstein wasn't even in it. there are no girls around. she claims i had sex with her in the airplanes, manifests of the flights will show i was never on the airplanes with her. >> did you have any contact with jane doe number 3 at all? >> no. i don't even know who she s. i don't know who she is and her lawyers have to know this. her lawyers, a former federal judge, and brad edwards, deliberately and willfully filed this pleading which they knew i had no opportunity to respond to without doing any investigation. if they investigated the manifest of the airplanes, if they had checked my travel records, if they had asked me and i could have given them the names of these people who were witnesses they would know the story totally false. these lawyers engaged in unethical behavior and should be disbarred. >> let me ask you a question you

would ask them. these are not guy who is just nell off a turnin truck. one is a former federal judge. why would they drag you, drag prince andrew, into a case like this if they thought they had absolutely no merit? >> because they filed a paper in which they didn't ask to try to prove it. they didn't say we allege it. they threw it in there. it's equal to scribbling something on a toilet stall and running away. they didn't think there would be response and they will rue the day they filed this unethical complaint because they i believe will be -- >> if you drag alan dershowitz into a lawsuit like this? >> because i'm not a party to the lawsuit. i have no opportunity to respond. they didn't ask for a hearing. the woman has said she wants to have a full investigation. i welcome a full investigation. i'm not trying to silence her. i challenged her to repeat the statement to the press so i can sue for defamation.

she has repeated the statements about the prince, she has refused to produce the statements about me. i have challenged her to file rape charges against they because if she does, she exposes herself to criminal prosecution. i have challenged the lawyers to repeat these statements in public so they can be a defamation hearing. they want to throw the stink bomb and avoid any responsibility for it. they will not get away with this. there will be legal proceedings, there will be hearings, they will be deposed. i will be deposed. the records will be produced. the truth will come out and it will show these two unethical lawyers should be disbarred. i'm completely absolutely innocent of any and all charges. >> i get the feeling this isn't the last we heard of this. thank you for joining us this morning. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> we understand why he is a famed defense attorney. a check of the weather from al. >> we've got another big storm making its way into the pacific northwest.

resolution? kirstie, come on in how did you do? >> hello, kirstie, how are you? >> i'm good. >> you look fantastic. happy new year. >> happy new year to you. >> please have a seat. so, are we at the 30? >> we're at 50. >> 50 pounds you lost? how did you do it? >> i lost it on jenny craig. >> you're a paid spokesperson. >> you tried losing weight in the past. you roller coastered a bit. >> well this time i just stuck, you know i really accessed our consultant on the jenny craig program you get a personal consultant. >> did you not do that in the past? >> i did, but i didn't listen to them that much. >> i think what people always say, celebrity spokesperson have private consultant well everybody on jenny craig gets a private consultant.

i listened to her and we would plan things out differently. that was the difference. >> holiday period really tough time for a lot of people when it comes to their weight. did you roller coaster up a little bit? >> i lost. >> you lost more weight during the holiday? >> my consultant and i sat down and we planned it out and we decided, it was like this okay we're going to have christmas dinner here. basically have whatever you want, but it wasn't a spree. it wasn't my usual holiday which lasts from halloween to valentine valentine's day. >> yeah, that's a rather long period of time. >> yes, too long of a period. we planned it out. >> i was looking back at our history together. wuv we've done a lot of interviews over the year and a lot have been focused on this subject of your weight. >> i know. >> when you get to the end of a diet or a plan like this where you now lost 50 pounds do you always think in your mind i will keep it off? >> no. before i had more of a view of

get to the goal have the goal. and this time i thought, okay what is the goal and what is the time span of the goal? so, i really looked at it as this is my life and until i'm dead basically, i am going to keep this weight instead of oh, i lost 50 pounds and now i can do whatever i want. i don't have that any more. >> you're sure that you can maintain this weight this time but what i'm asking did you always have that feeling? >> i didn't always have that feeling because i had set myself a goal and this time it's different. my goal is to keep this and maintain this throughout my life. especially as an actress. you know, people are in different lines of work but actresses just need to keep themselves. i'm actually more responsible than i was before. >> i thought about that when i was looking at the notes for you last night. i was thinking so many of our interviews have dealt with weight.

do you ever worry that it started to overshadow your work as an actress. this is defining you in some way? >> that might be ea good thing. >> i like you an actress, i do. >> where want to do more acting and more movies and how doi see myself on film? i think it's important for everyone to decide how they want to see themselves. i like to see myself looking more svelte. >> this is more the ideal you. >> it is a big question. how does someone keep gaining weight? that's the screwed up part of me. but i feel like i've conquered that now. you know it takes me i'm sort of hard headed. when i used to do drugs, took me a while to quit quit quit then it was done. so i feel like that's occurred for me. >> now that you reached and exceeded your resolution for 2014, did you make a new year's resolution for 2015? >> i have a lot of resolutions. >> any that you can share with us? >> yeah, well, i'd like to hook

much time you have how you want to spend it. >> reporter: the film based on the best selling book tells the story of more than 5.2 million americans living with alzheimer's. 200,000 have early onset, which strikes as young as your 30s. >> my biggest hope for the book and the movie is for people to understand alzheimer's in a way that isn't just people are at an end stage in a nursing home. it's that people are still people with alzheimer's. their identity and worthiness as a human being is still there. >> when my own father, sergeant shriver, was diagnosed, i learned there's no right way to cope. in the film alice's husband, played by alec baldwin, reacts with denial. >> we all have memory lapses. that's a sign of getting older. >> you want to make my choices. >> no, i don't. >> kristen stewart plays her estranged daughter who ends up being her caregiver. >> what does it feel like?

minutes. >> they've written all your apology s apologies for you. >> i'm nonapologetic. >> let me say it straight out. you have been on the worst dressed list a few times. >> many times. i used to laminate them. i have gone from the worst dressed and best droes dresed and everything in between, on the other side of the microphone walking the red carpet at the emmys, grams and i've also taken hits. this is all pomp and circumstance. it's ridiculousness. if you can't make fun of the red carpet what can you make fun of? >> i was thinking about it. remember when celebrities took big risks like duck dress? do you remember that? there it is. you never see stuff like that anymore. >> love it. love it love it! there's a new eara. we could not have those cher bob mackie moments if everyone played it so safe. i would like to encourage the gentlemen and ladies to not play it so safe. i would think this could be the year people could take risks and i like it. >> you're down to critiquing

their clutch. >> right. they're all so perfect, they have the perfect black dress. i hope the ladies bring the heat for the globes. we are on the day after the globes. we tape it that morning. it goes to air a couple of hours later. they can't mess with me too much or change me or make me better. i'm still going to be very wrong. >> now, is there anybody that you really have in mind that you would like to critique? is there anybody who has a bedazzled target on their tanned back? >> i'm going to focus on you actually. >> don't. >> is this a bad time to tell you? >> yes. >> i have been telling people they're on the worst dressed list sight unseen. i told ryan seacrest several times, worst dressed sight unseen and anderson cooper even if you don't leave your house. i really don't know. every week it's going to change. i change my mind believe it or not. one week i might make fun of gwyneth paltrow, next week i might goof it up. >> you mentioned anderson

cooper. good friend of ours around here. >> sure. >> how did you mortgage if i him on new year's eve? >> i dyed his air, one side red and one side blue. i asked him to close his eyes and he foolishly did. >> didn't you get the memo, never touch the hair? >> i did. >> that's what matt lauer tells me. >> he looks like diane keaton all played died his hair plaid. how do you put up with him? >> i don't know. the other thing i heard, you love today the musical. >> i am obsessed with it. anderson cooper turned me on to it. i've watched it about 47 times. i like that regis is the star and he's not even on the "today" show. if you've not seen "today" the musical, please everyone is best dressed. all right? >> thank you very much. i had to give you those last few seconds. >> to pay homage of course. >> yes. >> please ignore all of us. >> of course. you all have a pass. >> i'm going to hold you to

that. new week of "fashion police"," next monday. >> you don't even like saying it. >> it's terrifying. coming up next keisha knight pulliam. but first this is "today" on nbc.

we are back 8:52. season 14 of "the apprentice" kicked off last night. one has already been sent home. keisha knight pulliam was kicked out of the board room last night and made it to studio 1a just like that. nice to have you here. she's walking in. she looks fabulous. i'll give her that. she came in last night. she was the first to go. she took a big risk i would say, on the show last night. she volunteered to be project manager. unfortunately, that was a risk that didn't exactly pay off. so keisha as you walk in here good morning. >> hello. good morning. >> good to see you. >> it's a pleasure. >> thanks for being here. have a seat. i was just talking about your big risk. you decide i'll be the project manager on this first task. >> yes. >> i guess it's nothing ventured nothing gained? >> absolutely. at the end of the day, no one really wanted to step up and do it. i figured why not? i'm very passionate about my nonprofit and the opportunity to

raise that amount of money for my nonprofit, i was like you know no risk no reward. >> and the task was -- actually it had two tasks to it. you had to create a pie people would want to buy and also raise funds. >> wre. >> fund-raising aspect didn't go as well for you. >> there's a lot you don't see in the editing process. the amount of time we had to get the checks here they had to be in secure edd funds. so many variables, i had checks that simply didn't make it. if they didn't make it by the end and someone didn't bring it in then they didn't count. however, i thought it was interesting that even though i know as a project manager -- for me i was looking at the project and success overall, there were two people who raised zero dollars and two other people who raised less than i did. i get it. at the end of the day, i have to be accountable but -- >> fair or unfair the criticism was you didn't reach out to bill cosby. of course we all know you as rudy huxtable that you didn't reach out to someone you know

very well bill cosby, and ask him for funds. >> i thought that was interesting. i know "the cosby show" is in reruns and everyone is thinking we're this family that has dinner every friday night. i hadn't spoken to mr. cosby and i felt it would be tactless kind of rude to call someone and say, so, let me have some money right now. with the other checks i had lined up i didn't feel i needed to make that phone call. >> the other strange part as you well know now mr. cosby is facing all manner of allegations. this was taped back in march, this episode. >> absolutely. >> it didn't come up then. but you're here. i have to ask you, what do you make of those allegations, people coming out and saying this happened to them? somebody that was such a beloved character for so many years. >> what i can say is this. i wasn't there. no one was there except the two people to know exactly what happened. all i can speak to is the man that i know and that i love. the fact that he has been such an example. you can't take away from the great that he has done.

you know the millions and millions of dollars that he has given back to colleges and education. and just what he did with the cosby show and how groundbreaking that was. >> were you shocked by the allegations? >> ultimately they're just that allegations. and, you know it's very much been played out in the court of public opinion. but, you know we're still in america where ultimately you're innocent till proven guilty and, you know i wasn't there. that's just not the man i well very good monday morning to you. 8:56. police searching for this man, stacy hawthorne. investigators say saturday night he tried to run over a police officer with a stolen car. officers were called to a fight at motel 6 and hawthorne took off. police believe hawthorne was shot in the leg. nothing short of a happy home coming for passenger on a

when you're on skis it's hard to ski behind somebody with a camera. >> you're skiing with your phone? >> yes, not with a gopro. >> are you supposed to be doing that? >> probably not. but i'm a proud mama. >> she'll do anything. >> right into the tree stump. >> or the skiers or snowboarder. >> i have to get you a gopro for the next trip. >> i just got one. >> i had pizza this weekend. >> you did skiing, too, right? >> two weeks ago we had george in the pizza where you put the tips together and lucy is now doing the french fry. >> that's elevated level. >> my girl lucy bringing it. >> we saw you all over television. all over instagram, rose bowl parade. >> i had dinner with hoda, we had a great time. dhee hoda is a great parade partner. >> i love the instagram, the picture of her with curlers. >> she was picking up small country radio stations. there was fantastic. >> we talked about this friday. al's new year's day was rose

cousin all were killed. sailor was the sole survivor. she freed herself from the wreckage of the plane -- >> upside down. >> upside down and she walked nearly a mile through what's been described as terrible terrain through the woods. >> wearing a t-shirt, shorts, socks. >> and a broken wrist as well. she injured herself. >> she crossed fallen trees and creeks. >> down a 12-foot gully. >> she walked basically until she saw a porch light on, knocked on the door, the guy answers, sees a little seven-year-old girl as he described her bloodied and crying. he called 911, brought her into his home. here is what larry wilkins said he saw. >> i open the door and this little girl was standing there with a bloody nose and bloody legs and bloody arms. >> it's an incredible story. first of all to survive a plane crash but then as a seven-year-old girl shocked out of your mind. she said "i tried to wake up my parents" is who what she told the man. then she has the presence of mind to make her way through the

woods, a little girl until that state alone and finds this man's house. >> the interesting thing is the dad taught his kids survival skills and obviously -- if you believe in kind of divine intervention, her dad was helping her, was with her. she tried to light a branch on the burning tip of the wing to use as illumination to find her way through. so i think her dad helped her get there and her family helped her get to where she was. >> no question. >> she's being comforted by family members, they're all at her side. i can't imagine what is going on in that home but it's great to know that there are family members there and they are just doing everything they can. >> and as the pastor of the church said, the community is really all around her right now and just helping her through this. so our heart goes out to her. switching gears, it's that time of year, a lot of people making resolution this is year, right? so, well, mark zuckerberg has a

really great resolution, i love this one. each year he makes his resolution and his resolution was to start a book club. his idea is he's going to read a book every other week. the first pick of the year is "the end of power." only problem is, very hard to find right now. it's sold out, at least the paper back version is sold out at most -- on amazon because that's his pick. >> he's got the power. >> he's got the power. it's the oprah effect. the zuckerberg effect i guess this time around. so it's been selling out everywhere. you can't even get it on barnes & noble online. normally you can just download it on the nook, you can't even get it that way. >> they've run out of down loads? >> wait a minute! is that true? >> that's what they said. >> he broke the internet. >> they can not digitally download download download. >> it how is that possible? i can see a paper back not available but download? >> it was one of -- it was picked by "financial times" as

[ laughter ] so something to challenge willie geist's mastery of talking. >> i found out about before this. >> at the consumer electronic's

show, there's willie. guess what? >> this is his claim to fame. >> bmw has done them one better. it's a self-driving parking car, okay? a button on a smart watch. you say park my car, it uses a digital map of the grand jury to find a space and then park itself. you can literally get out of the car, close the door, car goes, finds a parking space and then when you get back from whatever you're doing you call the car and it comes and meets you. >> like valet service. >> that's unbelievable. >> why do you need it? because. >> because you're lazy. >> say you're at a busy shopping mall and you don't want to -- you know, send the car to park itself. >> but does the car drive defensively. >> yes. >> if there's something in its way it stops, finds a way.
