there are small ships, there are big ships, but there's nothing great as friendships. >> no, i have never heard that one. >> i saw it on a pillow. don't you like it? there are small ships and there are big ships, but there's nothing better than a friendship. >> you should do that for your next children's book. >> i didn't make it. i read it on a pillow. >> we want to talk to our friend megan kelly. she is coming to nbc. she's, as you guys know, has been on fox for many years, and we all opened the papers and found out she was coming here to nbc to join part of the nbc family. we can't wait for her to join us. she's a really great nice person. >> super smart. >> i have seen her at parties, and she's always fun. i invited her to come and have some wine. hopefully she'll do a drive-by and have a little sippy. >> i love that the most

important thing is she's super fun, and she'll come have a sippy. >> here is some interesting news. you remember tanya harding. >> how can you forget? >> nancy kerrigan. remember that whole thick? >> yes. >> tanya harding was accused of hiring someone to bash nancy kerrigan's knee and they're both competitive skaters. now it's going to be a movie. >> you know who is playing her? margo robbie. do we have a picture? or -- i said it the right the first time. there she is. i mean -- >> she's going to play tanya harding. she's actually producing it. here's the thing. if you are 23 or younger, you probably don't know who tanya harding is because we had some people who were, like, who is that? >> people asked who tanya harding was? >> it was 1994. >> i was right in the age where things like that were unbelievably fascinating. we would sneak in and watch -- >> a little bit of the newscast. >> like the lifetime movies? >> i love lifetime movies. well, remember tanya harding and her husband jeff plotted to

attack nancy kerrigan before the u.s. figure skating champions, and nancy's knee was bruised. she withdrew from the national championship. tanya harding went on to win that event, so both ladies were chosen to be on the olympics in 1994. >> okay. margo robbie is a hot one. >> she's a hottie. >> tanya got lucky. >> right? >> who would you want to play you in your lifetime movie? >> i mean, i don't know. as long as it's not keenan from "snl" i'm happy with anybody. okay. anyway -- >> keenan from "snl" would be hilarious. >> that's probably who they would pick. tanya harding was convicted of hindering and sentenced. let's move along. let's move along. >> look at her now. wait. we got to go back. i'm sorry. can we put margo robbie next to that because that's a stretch. no offense. no offense. >> yeah, but it was when she was back in the -- back in the time. >> okay. >> back in the time. >> okay.

>> it's called i tanya, and we don't know who is going to play nancy kerrigan. >> do you have any ideas? >> sandia bullora bullock. >> that's a really good one. let's get her in there. >> should we say congratulations to janet jackson. >> i love this. she's 50 years old, and she just gave birth to her first child, a baby boy named isa elmana. >> her husband is it a billionaire businessman, and they've been married since 2012, and this is janet's statement. this is a statement from janet's camp. she said janet had a stress-free and healthy delivery and is resting comfortably, and people are wondering what is the name, and there's some speculation running around the consensus is that the name means jesus in arabic. >> how great is that. can you believe 50 years old. >> that brings so much joy to me. i feel like my sister is 35. she's probably going to kill me

for saying this, and i just don't stop. she's 35, and she's not married, and people always put pressure on her to have kids. women have actually said to her when is your turn? it really -- you know, she's been married to her career, and she's doing such great work, and i just -- this type of story brings me such joy because i think it's your turn when it's your turn. >> you never know when your time is, and it's today is janet jackson's time. you had your time. barbara will have her time. we're all going to have our time. >> exactly. >> if -- this may be a great thing for you or maybe not a great thing, but kim kardashian is back on social media, and we sort of wondered after that robbery -- she was held up at gunpoint and was it terrifying. her husband has been hospitalized for various things. they've had a lot of family issues. they were off social media. i wondered -- i actually did wonder -- you figured they would eventually come back, but i wondered how long they would stay away or if they would come back knowing just how vulnerable they are.

>> i didn't know my instagram had my location on it for a while. people can see where you are. >> you know what, that's interesting because i remember i was on twitter once, and someone said to me how is life on 60th street? i remember i totally freaked out, and they said the thing about taking it down. actually we have a big announcement when it comes to twitter and instagram. this morning at exactly 9:51 jenna bush hager killed twitter and instagram from her phone. >> i sure did. >> and the reason is -- tell the reason. >> the reason is i find myself in a black hole, like many of you, i'm sure, where i'm just scrolling through instagram. >> wasting time. >> wasting time. >> as opposed to doing the to do list of 1,000 things i need to do, or most importantly, being present with the people i'm with. >> i want to hear -- let's remember today, and i want to see, like, come friday because you do think about -- if you were to put up a timer on how much time you spend going through instapictures. you think, oh, it's good.

i'm feeling it. mindless twitter. >> i read the article says on twitter, and then i'm all of a sudden reading the article before the article, and then another article. >> then you call your friends and tell them about the article. >> reading quotes to my parents. they're, like, we don't care. >> why do you read it on twitter? >> why are you reading these twitter tweets. they don't know what twirlt is. i'm happy about it. >> i think this is awesome. >> i just showed you. if you want to delete, maybe i'll delete too. shall we try it until friday? okay. we'll try it until friday. where is my phone? >> does anybody have -- >> if you want to delete with us, delete with us. here's what you do. you take the icon, and you hold it down -- you hold it down, and it starts jiggling, and then there's a little x. just hit the x in the corner. poof, it goes. >> i feel a little shaky. actually, we were just looking at something, and i was looking for a picture, but she said what are you looking for, your twitter? >> you realize how much -- sometimes you say, well, i'm on the subway, so what. i'm in the car, so what. but you could do a lot of other things. >> yes. >> what else could you do in the

car? >> i could call my mother. i could call my husband husband. i could write something in my journal. >> look around. >> you could look out the window. >> talk to somebody next to you. >> you could work on actual work. >> you know, let's try. you started it. i'm going to go -- i'll go -- i started at 9:52. you started at 10:00 -- >> i'll do it when my phone comes here. i'll delete -- >> join along with us. >> that means i won't be able to post any quotes. maybe i'll ask cathy to post a quote. >> you could have people, like -- my sister did this, and she gave her best friend the password, and if there was a really cute picture she wanted to put on -- >> no you're going to be posting through other people? >> no. i'm not going to post. i'm just saying what she did. >> all right. we're going to get my phone, and i'm going to delete mine too. delete yours too just for fun. >> see how much more work you get done. >> okay. >> this is exciting. >> by the way, kim kardashian

didn't. >> she didn't delete it. she posted her own video of her family during the holidays on her official app. that's another app you might have to delete, but don't delete the website. kim kardashian west.com. it's a big video. >> can i say the one take-away from this, i know people are saying, oh, thank you so much, they're exposing too much, but i have to say -- >> those kids are cute. >> cutest kids in the world. >> those kids are so cute. >> let's look at the time. >> she's not going to be able to look at this. >> where is twitter? oh, no. this is weird. where is it? here it is. >> you could also use a little organization in there. >> hold on. >> look. it's shaking. it's jiggling. it's jiggling. see it jiggle. when it jiggles, you exit out. >> x. >> are you -- >> x. >> no, no. >> it says delete. delete. okay. ins insta too. >> i love instagram. it's so fun. >> i don't even know my pass words, and you can't ever get it back.

>> that's what you made me worried about, but you made me delete it. i'll find myself looking at pictures of my ex-boyfriend's mother. >> you just keep looking. >> what are you doing? i'm, like, i actually have no idea what i'm doing. i'm mindless. >> don't forget, we are going to give it away next week. we want you guys to go to klg & hoda.com. hit the connect button. you can be eligible to win these great prizes. second all your info. >> don't forget, ambush makeover day. come down to the plaza on thursday. tomorrow. get ready to play. >> all right. could your mammogram predict your risk for heart disease? >> the health breakthroughs that can change your life and perhaps even save your life this year after this. cottonelle asked real people about cleaning... their bums. what?

the life of someone you know. >> here to talk about some of the top breakthroughs is dr. natalie aczar. >> first of all, 2016 was a pretty big year as far as innovation in the medical world. >> it was. every year we hope to see some good stuff, and we did. >> there are so many people who -- i have friends who have osteoporosis. one thing you are always told is you can never build backbone, you can just slow the erosion. but there is something new on the horizon that may change that? >> exactly. you think basically of bone as a living organ, constantly replacing it, building it and losing it. there has been a drug on the market for a number of years that does build bone, doesn't just slow down the speed of loss. they're hoping for approval in march which is a daily injection which is going to purely build bone. meaning self-administered injection. the results look fantastic in terms of reducing fracture in

both the spine and in what we call nonvertebral areas in the hip. don't know yet what the cost is going to be. it is not going to be for everybody with osteoporosis as first line of therapy. this will most likely be rese reserved for people who are failed, for post menopausal women with osteoporosis. >> you say around march? >> that's what they're hoping for, it will be approved by march of this year. >> let's talk about mammograms. they obviously save tons of lives, but now you say they can screen for heart disease. >> this study came out in march and we actually did that then. this is basically taking advantage of an imaging test that all women have to undergo as it is, which is a mammogram. and getting basically like a twofer. you do a mammogram, they do it digitally now. they are looking for calcifications in the breast tissue.

that's what the mammogram is for. they can also detect little calcium deposits in the arteries of the breasts. the study compared then women who had calcification in the arteries of the breast, then something called a calcium score on a cat scan of their heart. they found almost a 70% correlation between calcium in the breast and calcium in the heart. the point here, guys, is that the calcium in the heart is a predictor for heart disease. you can be picking up -- basically you are picking up s incidentally -- we say, you know what? we say calcification in your breast. you may want to go back to your health kay provider and follow this up with more testing, do i have risk factors for heart disease,ky intervene now with medication, et cetera, to prevent the development of true heart disease. >> whenever you hear the word alzheimer's, there are so many people who know people who are going for that. everyone is desperate for some kind of treatment. >> i don't want to tout it as new and revolutionary.

rather, this is another therapy that has very nice encouraging preliminary outcomes. it is called ivig, which is an infusion, an iv infusion, that creates antibodies to the abnormal build-up of protein in the alzheimer's brain. i want to stop short of saying that we have discovered a new treatment for alzheimer's disease but it is yet another one of those early studies that looks very promising that researchers are hoping, with further studies, will actually end up being something that can be useful for people who are in what we call the predementia phase. that's early cognitive impairment and make a difference before the disease becomes full blown. >> do we know when this will be available. >> no. that's the other thing. the earliest study was actually reported in 2015. it was done on 50 individuals. we need a much larger study and we also need anstudy to see how well this could work. >> now talking super computers. they can actually help diagnose.

>> yes. this is about ibm's watson. this computer has been having medical training since 2011. this is what this computer does. this is what any doctor in practice would love to have a watson by his or her side. basically, you can imagine, millions of research articles are available. right? it is a database that we have to look through -- we, meaning me -- to make a clinical decision to make an evidence-based decision to treat a patient. watson does that for you. you plug in all the patient information, all their clinical data. watson goes through the whole database and says, this is the right treatment for the patient. >> why doesn't everyone have it? >> or this is the right diagnos diagnosis. >> this expensive? >> probably less expensive than giving a wrong diagnosis. >> they just reported december 28th i want to say that ibm is now working with cleveland clinic to -- all of this is basically to get more evidence-based guidance to physicians. >> good news.

>> it really is. dr. aczar, thanks so much. for medical cbreakthroughs chec out the current issue of "prevention" magazine. joy has the key to calorie counting when we get her indidi s.o.s. right after this. y do people put milk on cereal? why does your tummy go "grumbily, grumbily, grumbily"? no more questions for you! ooph, that milk in your cereal was messing with you, wasn't it? try lactaid, it's real milk, without that annoying lactose. good, right? mmm, yeah. lactaid. the milk that doesn't mess with you.

>> which one is -- which one is homemade, and that's what you want to taste both of these and go which one is homemade? you can have whatever one you like better. i want to hear that too. which one do you think is homema homemade? they look the same. >> this one is homemade. >> that's like water. homemade. >> that's homemade. you are chuckling at that. why do you think it's homemade? >> it feels watery and not tasty. >> it's not as salty. this one kind of savory. >> when you have it homemade -- that is correct. actually, this is the homemade. you could always add a sprinkle of salt. people think, ah, the salt shaker. that's better than starting off with a prepared soup. this serving has about half of your salt requirement for a whole day. >> oh. >> and this has about 60% less. if it's not quite enough for you, you could always salt it. >> i like hot sauce. something that gives a little kick. >> avocado maybe on the top. >> exactly. exactly. >> now we're on to some marinara sauce, tomato sauce. we put it over pasta, which you would normally be eating it. >> you can see the difference in

the colors. >> which one do you think is the homemade? you want to get it with the pasta. >> i'm just eating it pure. >> i know right away. >> which one do you think is homemade? >> this one. yeah. >> it is homemade because -- why do you think that is? >> the salt. >> i want to lick that. that one i would do without. >> you know, there's -- there's -- >> no offense, madeline. >> beautiful sauce. >> it is. >> but it's three times the salt and oil in the prepared one. the thing is it's easy to push up some tomatoes. you can always correct the seasoning. if you have one in your house that needs to have less salt, they can eat that. >> it's a good base. you can add things to it. >> a lot of pepper maybe would be good on this. >> something. >> that's what clean eating is all about. make these foods -- take ownership of it. this is apple sauce. >> i already know. don't you? >> this one. >> uh-huh. >> hmm. >> that is good. oh, but it's a little on the

tart side. >> let me try this one. >> now, i can tell -- >> are there apples in there? >> there's a little sugar and some -- a little bit of sugar. it's something that about, you know, less than a teaspoon of sugar. this has about four to five teaspoons in a serving. when you say -- it's not sneaking around. it's something that has a lot. you can add a little more. >> i get it. >> you know, that might be that the apple was a little sour. >> that's possible too. now we have chocolate chip cookies. >> come on. >> uh-oh. a little bit -- >> you can't fool the queen. >> remember there's real chocolate chips in both of them. there's sugar and fat. all the same things. >> oh, my god. >> by the way -- this is the homemade? >> both delicious. >> try that. that's like -- this is delicious. i'm going to give that one homemade. >> i like this one better. >> this is the homemade with

real chocolate chips but one-third less sugar and fat than a regular chocolate chip cookie, but real chocolate chips. >> i forgot you aren't supposed to be eating sugar. >> now we go to -- here's this big mississippi mud pie. we are going to taste the whipped cream. the whipped cream is what we're tasting? this is easy. >> yours is much better. homemade it here, and this is delicious. >> what's the difference? >> less sugar but kind of more simple and delicious. >> that's what it is. because there's no sugar. when you are add it to the cake, why do you have to have more -- >> sweets are better homemade. tastier homemade. >> what the other thing is we learned sauces are not. just kidding. they're good too. >> that all helped. a little salt in there. >> madeline's recipes are on our website. go to klg and hoda.com. >> small town to the big city. country singer william michael morgan makes his national tv day buy right here where. >> we are so thrilled. don't miss his performance right

from virginia? >> okay. when it comes to calculating your calories, it's a little complicated because there's a lot of variables. you want to figure in your age, your gender, your activity level, but here's a simple formula that will help you get a ballpark figure. you want to first create a goal weight and then second, you want to times that goal weight by 12. you said, lea, that you were 5'5", and now you weigh over 200 pounds. let's create a goal weight of 140. times 140 now by 12, and you are going to get 1,680 calories per day. >> that's easy. >> you don't want to stick with a specific number every single day. instead i want lea to create a range. 1,400 to 1,800 calories, and that is going to work like a charm. that works for everybody. >> you break a live look at the radar -
