all right brian happy birthday, molly. >> molly. >> okay. >> i need my eyes checked captioning funded by cbs on alert. american travelers are told to be aware of an increased terror threat including possible al qaeda plots in several cities across europe. we'll bring you the latest from london and washington. remembering tyler, rutgers students gath tear mourn tyler clemen clemente. back on his feet. in his first interview since last week's hospital stay, former president jimmy carter tells us exclusively about his recent illness and gives his prescription for democrats in next month's election. >> and lion attack, a circus act turns into carnage, as a trainer is mauled and speck take sfek
7:01 am
taters run. early this monday morning october 4th, 2010. it is a monday morning, we hope you had a nice weekend. good morning. welcome to "the early show." i'm maggie rodriguez. >> i'm harry smith. the first monday in october. we'll talk about that. first, we want to look again at these pictures. stunning pictures of this attack. these kinds of things happen from time to time but never with the kind of -- i mean, these lions are going after this guy. we're going to talk to the family who witnessed this. >> and took that video. first on monday morning, a new terror alert for americans traveling to europe. the state department is telling hundreds of thousands of u.s. citizens to be aware of possible al qaeda plots in several
7:02 am
european cities. mark phillips is in london with the latest on this alert. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, maggie. americans and now the british have been warned to stay away from public transport and tourist sites, speaking of the potential for tourist attacks. for the public short of staying home there is confusion what to do about it. the alerts have raised fears across europe that terror groups have the public places of major capitols in their sights. the security services say they have information the attacks are aspirational, in other words, in the early planning stages, and not imminent. still, people are being told to be careful. >> just got to be aware. take caution as you can because you got to go on with your life. you can't stop living. >> we have threats all around all the time so we go. >> reporter: the plots are allegedly hatched by al qaeda affiliated groups from their sanctuaries along the
7:03 am
pakistan/afghanistan border. counterterror agencies say their sources have reported that groups might try to imitate the mumbai raid of two years ago in which commando style terrorists killed more than 170 people. but, with few exceptions the general terror alerts across europe have not been raised. and security experts wonder whether raising anxiety levels alone is counterproductive. >> it could have a detrimental effect of rather than raising awareness because it's so general people ignore it. >> reporter: only france which has its own terror fears because of its campaigns against muslim women wearing the burqa has threats and closed tourist attractions like the eiffel tow tower. all governments are cautious. >> often there is a sense that governments are a little defensive, they don't want to be found to not to have warned the public when there has been intelligence, however vague that intelligence might have been.
7:04 am
>> reporter: the problem for the counterterrorism agencies is that they have now played their hand, they let the groups which are apparently planning attacks know they are watched more closely. as for the general terror alert levels in europe, they remained where they were, high. maggie. >> mark phillips in london, thank you. let's get more on what this means from bob orr in washington. >> good morning. >> a lot of people aren't sure what to make of this. it's not a warn, they don't say don't go to europe. be careful if you do. how can you be careful and avoid a terrorist attack? >> that was the problem the government had. people should take this seriously. i would say from talking to my source this is is the most concerned they have been in about four years since the plot in 2006 this is serious. these are real threats tracing back to core al qaeda, there is an abundance of intelligence, most has been corroborated
7:05 am
saying al qaeda is trying to hit europe cities and may eventually try to hit the united states as well. this should not be sloughed off. do what they can do to be aware, common sense approaches, just kind of be vigilant. i know that sounds fuzzy but the details are fuzzy. >> there are no specific targets mentioned except possibly the eiffel tower. what are they saying we should do? what does being vigilant mean? >> reporter: let's look at the past. where have terrorists attacked. transit systems, they attacked public places. so, if you are traveling, if you are going to tourist locations, staying in tourist hotels, be aware that this is in the wind. i mean, the problem here for officials in europe and the u.s. is that we don't have enough specifics to know what to defend. what we do know is that this traces back to osama bin laden and core al qaeda leaders themselves. they are thought to be hiding somewhere in the pakistan/afghan
7:06 am
region. we're fold a number of groups linked with al qaeda have basically been given marching orders and to attack when and where they can. this is a serious deal. it comes from the top of the top terrorist network. >> when we talk about al qaeda, we can't help but think especially with christmas coming of the thwarted christmas day attack last year. this is specifically just europe or is there concern there might be plans to target the u.s. as well? >> reporter: right now we're talking about major concerns in europe. and this is not just one plot, we should look at these as a series of plots, kind of parallel attacks if you will, carried out by a number of groups, perhaps al qaeda and perhaps al qaeda affiliates. the primary concern is for europe. let's not underestimate the threat that we face in this country. we are still under threats of attacks from al qaeda linked groups, primarily yemen. you mention the christmas day plot trying to bring down flight
7:07 am
253. that was hatched and trained by a group of al qaeda in yemen. so long term, the united states is still very much under the gun but right now the primary concern for the immediate future is in europe. >> and they reminder, they do not believe anything is imminent but in the planning station. thank you. here's harry. >> the supreme court goes back to work this morning with a new member, justice elena kagan. for the first time the high court will have three women. what can we expect this term? let's ask legal correspondent jan crawford in washington. good morning, jan. >> good morning. >> is it a sexist question to say will three women on the court make a difference? >> reporter: no, you know it's a really great question. the justices themselves have talked about that. i've seen justice o'connor and justice ginsburg urge presidents to put more women on the court. while women and men read the law they bring obviously a different
7:08 am
perspective, a different point of view. justice ginsburg, a couple years ago there was a big sex discrimination case, all of the justices were saying i don't see the big deal. this is during an argument. she basically lectured them during the court session saying you guys don't get it. so yeah, it can make a dink. >> the other question that comes into play here is retired john paul stevens was the head of the liberal goop or de facto leader, i don't know what you call it, of the liberal wing of the court. who becomes that now? >> reporter: that's wide open. you're going to see these four liberal justices, the court is now narrowly divided, four liberals and five more conservative justices. you'll see the four trying to figure out who is their leader, how are they going to proceed. they each bring a different point of view. justice white a long time ago said a new justice makes an entirely new supreme court. so that's going to be fascinating the see how these
7:09 am
dynamics emerge. >> people we'll read that justice kagan recused herself from a number of cases. explain why she needed to do that. >> reporter: she was the solicitor general of the united states which means she represented the obama administration's position before the supreme court. so in all of the cases the justices are considering, this year and into next year as well, she's been involved in, that she's written briefs on, that she thought about, advocated she cannot sit on those cases now as a justice. so, about half of the cases the court's taken up this term she's had to step out of already. and that could be a problem in some of them because again, this is a narrowly divided court, and without that vote it could end up being a lock 4-4 without her to cast that key deciding vote. >> thank you very much for your expertise. appreciate it. >> it is now 7:10. time to look at the day's headlines. good morning. >> good morning.
7:10 am
good morning to everyone at home. a british scientist whose research helped couples become parents is the winner of the nobel prize for medicine. >> the nobel assembly has today decided to award the nobel prize in physiology medicine 2010 to robert edwards, for the development of in vitro fertilization. >> he is a cambridge university professor. the 85-year-old helped to develop the procedure when eggs are fertilized, then implanted. his work began in the '50's. the first test tube baby important in 1978 in england and since them 4 million babies have been born through invitro fertilization. sex and condom use in america. the company found the highest rate of use among teens. 79% of 14-17-year-olds reported using them. the rate for black men was 37%,
7:11 am
for hispanics slightly higher. it suggests that hiv and aids programs are making an impact. condoms used by white men was lower, over 22%. with just a month to go before the midterm elections a new study finds corporations and interest groups are spending at a record pace. data analyzed in today's washington post shows groups outside the democratic and republican parties have already spent $80 million. compare that with just $16 million at this point in the 2006 midterm campaign. republicans are getting most of that money, the post says conservatives have outspent groups supporting democrats 7-1. on saturday thousands attended a washington rally favoring democratic candidates. on almost the same spot where tea party activists rallied in august. in south texas teams are dragging a lake for the body of a man believed to have been shot and killed by mexican pirates. the missing man and his wife were riding jet skis near the
7:12 am
border. don teague reports. >> reporter: 29-year-old tiffany hartley and her husband david were riding jet skis in mexican waters when they were ambushed by gunmen on boats. >> hello. are you sure that your husband got shot? >> yes. in his head. >> reporter: the shooting involving suspected mexican pirates happened last thursday on falcon lake near the southern tip of texas. the lake sits directly on the u.s./mexico border. >> did you see anybody? >> there were three boats. >> reporter: the couple was returning from sight seeing in mexico when the gunmen in speed boats approached them and opened fire. they tried to outrun them but 30-year-old david was hit in the back of the head. his wife went to his aid. >> he was thrown off the jet ski and i couldn't pick him up to get him on mine. >> she was shot at. she had to climb back in her jet ski and head back over here to
7:13 am
the united states. >> reporter: hartley's body has not been found. he is presumed dead. in may, texas officials issued a warning to boaters after reports of at least three run-ins with mexican pirates on the lake. authorities say many of the pirates are children. >> teenagers, pre-teens, some of them barely even know how to use a weapon. the lake is not secure. we can go to mexico. we cannot recover that body. we cannot conduct an investigation. >> reporter: texas authorities asked mexican officials to search their side of the lake for hartley's body. don teague, cbs news, dallas. an upd

7:15 am
growing number of mortgage lenders including bank of america and jpmorgan chase are putting foreclosures on hold for the time being. cbs news business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is here with the reasons behind it. and this is an ugly, ugly story. >> reporter: it is an ugly story and just creating a huge mess for both homeowners as well as banks right now. >> what happened? >> reporter: basically what we have a bunch of banks, due to the sheer volume of all of the foreclosures, mortgage mess, high unemployment who passed paperwork through the system without dotting their is and crossing their ts and you have a bunch of foreclosures on the market that people say is that a real foreclosure, legitimate, or does that home potentially need to go back to the original buyer. >> because sof much confusion and paperwork people are writing thousands of signature as week on documents they didn't really glance at. >> reporter: they don't know what happened and what we are doing and seeing is they are paying the price. what does it mean for the homeowner? for those who are facing
7:16 am
foreclosure right now by bank of america, jp morgan or allied financial, gmac mortgage, those individuals will see their proceedings halted in 23 states. for those who have already been evicted from from homes. >> right. >> reporter: this may raise a new legal question. they may, in fact, have a right to that home. it remains to be seen legally what will happen. but, those individuals could see their legal costs paid for or they could even see their home returned to them. >> wow. so, in the short term, for the people who may be facing foreclosures, it's -- at some sort, at least a bit of good news. >> reporter: it's relief at least for the short term but remains to be seen, again, harry what happens in the long term. >> in terms of housing prices and everything else because as the economy seems to be trying to struggle to get its footing in this recovery, in quotation marks, one of the biggest drags is the housing market. >> reporter: it is. well, we're expecting this year 1.2 million foreclosures, up from last year, which was also a
7:17 am
record one million foreclosures. what would it mean as far as home values? best case it could mean they stabilize but worst-case scenario means we delay a problem and see the problem six months perhaps down the lane and home prices plummet again. >> there you go. rebecca jarvis, as always, thanks so much. maggie. >> thank you. still ahead, rutgers university remembers tyler cleemti as activists say his suicide is part of a pattern that has to end. lions go wild at a circus while spectators fear for their safety and run for their lives. we're going to be speaking exclusively with the family who shot this video ahead here on "the early show" olycbs. know what gets me out of bed early? breakfast at subway!

but first, rutgers university holding a series of events this weekend to honor tyler clementi, the freshman who killed himself after video of his sexual encounter with another man was put on the internet. his death is one of several recent suicides blamed on anti-gay bullying. cbs news national correspondent jeff glor is in new brunswick, new jersey, with the latest there. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: maggie, good morning to you. 12 days after the death of trirl clementi, the criminal investigation continues. meanwhile last night a powerful show of support. silence sunday night on the rutgers campus, sill lens intended to send a message. >> we share a conviction, firm conviction, that everyone needs a safe environment. >> reporter: several hundred people were at a candlelight vigil pleading for tolerance and remembering tyler clementi. clementi is the young violinist who took his own life learning his roommate and another student secretly used a webcam to stream
7:32 am
live video of clementi in a sexual encounter with another man. today rum raef and molly way are charged with invasion of privacy. >> i'm so an greechlt i'm very, very angry at at what they did. >> reporter: the problem is not limited to clementi. he's one of five gay teens believed to have committed suicide in the last four weeks. shall victims of anti-gay bullying like -year-old seth walsh, who hanged himself last month. those deaths are now receiving new attention as the passing of tyler clementi puts new focus on the alienation gay teenagers say they often feel. one recent survey found nearly 25% of gay college students report being the target of harassment and discrimination, while only 7% of u.s. schools offer support programs. >> if you're getting bullied and you're feeling like you're on the outskirts, it gets better. >> reporter: this weekend, mtv recorded messages of support

from gay slooebts like neil patrick harris and lance bass. >> when i was in high school in mississippi i was on the first persons to jump on the bandwagon to bash a gay person and look how i turned out. i had a secret this whole time. >> reporter: while classmates mourn, the two acoups sdfd of harassing clementi could face up to five years in prison some. students think that is not enough. >> i don't know if any time is enough, to make up for what they've done. >> reporter: charges could be upped if prosecutors deem this a bias crime. at the same time, one new jersey lawmaker has proposed increasing the maximum penalty for invasion of privacy crimes in the future from five years to ten. maggie? >> jeff glor at rutgers this morning, thank you, jeff. joining is cbs news legal analyst jack ford. good morning. >> good morning. >> we heard jeff say in the future the penalty might be upped but as it stands right now five years is the maximum they could get? >> maximum.
7:34 am
a third degree offense. new jersey has five levels so a third degree offense carries a maximum penalty of five years but interestingly if you are a first-time offender. >> they are. >> exactly there, is a presumption in the law you don't go to jail, you would get some sort of probationary scheme with community service involved. so, that's what the presumption s. now, that presumption can be overcome by a lot of things, a sentencing judge, if they get to that point might look at this and say there was a death here and though you are not technically charged with that death, your conduct had a direct, at least an indirect result of a death and a judge may sigh, you know what, i'm beyond the presumption of no jail time and you are going to go to jail sgr dot five years. >> yeah. >> what if they tack on hate charges. >> that's a good question. new jersey has a hate crime statute. people have to understand it's not a separate crime. what it does is, if you can prove this offense was because of somebody's -- here, the fact that they were gay, for instance, what it does is
7:35 am
enhances, gives the judge the ability to enhance a sentence and here could double, kick it up from five years to ten years. the prosecution hasn't made that decision but they have to be in a position to prove there was a direct link between the fact he was gay and the conduct involved. >> if these two students caused this other student's death indirectly, why wouldn't there be manslaughter charges? >> a lot of people ask that, making the analogy to drunk driving deaths which years and years ago were not terribly serious. now state legislators are saying we are making this manslaughter type category. right now the laws in new jersey doesn't do this and other states, two reasons saying that is not a direct link. i'm drunk, get into a car and crash into you and cause your death, there is a direct link between what i did and the death. here, you would probably argue,

former president jimmy carter had his 86th birthday on friday. he's still a very busy man. he recently published another book. this one called "white house diary." mr. carter joins us exclusively after a short stay in the hospital last week. he's at a habitat for humanity construction site in washington, d.c. mr. president, happy birthday and good morning. >> thank you. >> first off, how are you feeling? >> well, i feel fine. i only had one day of intensive hospital care, and i've been out working every since. so it was just a brief bout with a virus. >> all right. let's talk about your work with habitat for humanity. this problem of homelessness and not having enough housing is no less significant than it was when you started your work with this group 27 years ago. does it sometimes feel like you're trying to push a boulder
8:11 am
up a mountain. >> we've gotten united nations to join in. this is our declared world habitat day. that's the reason we started this new project in washington. i'll be going from here to annapolis and then to st. paul and minneapolis and down to birmingham, alabama this week. so habitat is building a new house for people every 24 minutes now somewhere in the world. >> wow. >> we're making a lot of progress. obviously we want everybody to know there's many people who are homeless and have insufficient homes. >> i wonder with this housing crisis in the united states, there's so much stock on the market now, has that created an opportunity for habitat? >> yeah. in fact, this last year, we've shifted our emphasis from building new homes to take homes that are empty or abandoned, refurbishing them and moving families into them. this is a very cost saving
8:12 am
effect. we have increased about five fold over what habitat has done in the past. we are rehabilitating communities now by putting empty homes back in use and filling them up with very eager families to have a good house. >> i remember being at a habitat site with you in houston 10 years ago or so. >> i remember. >> it was 100 degrees outside, and you were still very active with the hammer and saw. are you still handy? >> absolutely. in fact, the rest of this week, i'll be building homes or either repairing homes in six different cities. we do this every year. this is our 27th year. last year the river dealt area in asia. one year united states, this year, and one year overseas. >> i want to switch subjects here. there's lots to talk about with you this morning including the mideast peace process. >> yes. >> it looks as if talks are going to break off now. the palestinians have had an opportunity to meet after settlements rebuilding started
8:13 am
again. we say we're not going to talk as long as these settlements are going to be constructed. is there any way that you see to break forward to get through this stalemate? >> well, the key thing is for israel to give up its ambition to occupy and control palestine. as long as they are still building israeli homes in palestine, i guess t palestine, against the wishes of the palestinian people, that makes it difficult for palestinian or their world to comply with the wishes of the united states, that is to have peace. it's always good to have hope. we couldn't have a better interlocutory or med area than hillary clinton who is tough, knowledgeable, determined to be successful. if anybody can do it, i think hillary clinton can do it. >> prime minister netanyahu had said to the palestinians, even though this building has resumed, please stay with this
8:14 am
process. is there any compelling argument that could be made to the palestinians to continue on? >> well, i think if there's an assurance israel will get out of palestine and let them have their own viable and contiguous station, fine. in addition to building homes, israel is insisting that they still remain occupying the jordan river valley and controlling palestine from air and ocean and land so that the palestinians don't have any access to the outside world. so this is a major obstacle to overcome and i hope there will be some flexibility on both sides to let the united states mediation prevail. >> i want to talk politics for a couple of minutes very quickly. >> okay. >> some people have said president obama is several years in office now is somewhat resembling your time in office. if he were to call you and say, all right, in the next two years, this is what i've got to face. this is what i need to do, what advice would you give? >> well, when i was in office at
8:15 am
this time, i have a 66% favorable rating and we had a very successful midterm election. but he is faced with an obstacle that i didn't have and that is almost complete polarization and absence of any cooperation from the republican party. i had very good bipartisan support. so i think that he needs to concentrate in the next two years, i'm sure he will anyway, on the economic system. he's gotten some very wonderful achievements so far. what people are interested in now is more jobs and i think he's going to do that maybe after the election is over, i don't think the democrats are going to have a very good success in a couple of weeks, but after that's over, he'll still be president for two years and i think he'll have a much more presentation now that he's got, you know, a clear picture of what the situation will be. i believe he'll be successful. >> mr. president, we thank you so much for your time today. a lot of people around the world very much appreciative of your and rossalyn's work with habitat for humanity.

don't work too hard this week. >> we have a good time. it's a very exciting object for us and we're gratified to have this opportunity. >> thank you, mr. president. up next, patrick talks about his rules of engagement and his real family as well. they are both pretty funny. we'll be right back. you are watching "the early show" on cbs. ♪ [ female announcer ] we've got stains, down to a science. new wisk, with our breakthrough stain spectrum technology targets all the major stain groups like proteins, carbohydrates and oils. its enzymes and cleaning agents tackle a full range of stains. you'll never look at stains

8:22 am
i had this planned for months. one of the kids ordered fish. i said, the fish is not that good here. it is better in hawaii. why don't you just order it there. >> that sounds good. >> she says the fish is not very good, it's better in hawaii. and he's really -- >> right there? >> he's like, i can see what he's thinking, well, this is a fish restaurant. why do you charge $25 for fish, why did you just trash your restaurant? how's the steak. >> you're like, we're going -- i'm so glad i could keep the secret three months so you could blow your line. and then they didn't believe us, you know. but they're the best and they deserve to be a little spoiled every now and then. we felt bad about going to hawaii now that the economy is cruddy and other people don't get these opportunities and i had to explain, yes, we are very lucky to do it. >> oh, my gosh. >> during the year you are in school and i'm at work. >> -- doing something right.

time for the talk, traditionally fathers sit down with sons and mothers sit down with daughters. a new study finds most young women say their dads should do more to help them prepare for dating and sex. erlz snow contributor dr. jennifer hartstein child and adolescent psychologist is here to tep us with that conversation. good morning. >> good morning. >> first things first before we talk about different roles for males and females for, this how important it is to have the talk and ton have the talk. >> absolutely. were he have so much research that supports the fact starting it early and having it continuously protects all our kids, daughters and sons, from making bad decisions in relationships, sexually, posting inappropriate pictures, sexting all that stuff has to start as early as your kids start talking to you about it. >> what you just said really illustrates the difference between the talk perhaps when i was a young man versus the conversations we need to be having with our adolescents now. >> right. you didn't have this real exhibitionist kind of culture we
8:34 am
have now where we are putting really inappropriate things, our kids are putting inappropriate things, pictures on facebook, sending them to one another and go viral. >> not giving a second thought bit. >> not thinking about that at all. it has to be included in the big fer picture. >> how does the new study break grown in terms of the assumptions we have long held about roles, as far as male/female roles and fathers and daughters and fathers and sons and mothers and daughters and sons? >> the talk in and of itself is a protective factor. what the girls really reported was that having their dads more involved teaches them what to look for more appropriate in a relationship so they are going to have better communication with men, have better trust in men because their dads are part of teaching them kind of what a caring man looks like and can be a dad or father figure, a strong male influence to be that person, to teach them how to say no if they want to say no. how to set limits when they want to set limits and do it comfortably. >> was there an actual direct correlation then between the young women who had
8:35 am
conversations with either their fathers or step-fathers or significant male in their life and the kinds of behaviors they engaged in? >> it definitely decreased any sort of sexual acting out, risky behaviors, they used contraception more, they were able to stand their ground and set limits more effectively. so, it did have a direct correlation to their actual behaviors and it actually opened up their ability to just talk about sex with their partners, which so many young women do not do at all. >> how, then, do you get fathers who traditionally back off of this role, you know, this is pillow talk, honey, i think it's time you had that talk with, you know, janie down there and see she's going into sixth grade, whatever it, is that's how that works. >> right. >> how would you suggest trying to change that paradigm a bit? >> i think it it is really important for fathers to be able to just be in the pomt with their daughters. it's so important for moms to be able to say to them, hey, you need to talk with them about this and create opportunities
8:36 am
and there's three really important things dads can do. the first thing they need to do is just listen. listen to what your daughters are saying. listen to how they are talking about themselves. listen to what they're saying about their lives. and get involved in that. which is our second tip. talk to them, get involved. be involved in their school, be involved in their extracurriculars, be around and available as much as you can. and lastly, you really want to teach and model respect to your daughter. what is does that look like between you and with other people in their lives? so that they feel that internally and can put that to use in any relationship thns have. >> it is interesting. as i get older, in teen-age years want to grant them more independence and some of that you certainly want to do but at the same time there come all kinds of opportunities, i find driving is especially if there are several kids in the car, the stuff they talk about is revelatory. >> absolutely. you want it kind of be a fly on the wall but be involved at the same time. so, you want to just be a present presence all the time essentially so that they know
8:37 am
you're there and you're listening and they're not afraid to share with you when you need to. >> the real bottom line in the whole thing is fathers need to really get involved with the young women in their lives. >> as much a protective factor if not more in many ways and their involvement is really underestimated. is, the more involved they are, the better off they set their daughters laurt. >> jennifer hartstein, thanks so much. >> thanks. over the weekend the mercury dropped like a stone here in the east. but necessarily is a bad thing? it is actually encouraging many of us to reach for the fall ward wroeb or put it together. amy goodman senior editor of "all you" magazine joining us with affordable fall fashions straight from the runway. you always have these great tips and finds. it can be tough when you look at the runway video and looks for fall and you think, a, how do i afford that and, b, who really wears that? >> you can interpret runway looks to be what i call the real way and at "all you" "magazine we are dedicated celebrating

8:40 am
the plat fompl pump is a feminine way to do this. doing a red accented accessory against a neutral-based outfit is a red-hot trend. >> we love this. this is doable for so many women. you can wear this to work. you can feel like you are hip but without going overboard. great. >> super flattering on her. >> it is. a mom of four, you are one amazing lady. another really hot trend this fall is menswear. it doesn't have to feel you are wearing your husband's suit. >> no. every fall, we see a return to menswear, like [ inaudible ] but this season really about the head to toe look for women. nipped at the waist blazers and pants either flared or fitted depending what suits you. and so here on lauren a pin-striped blazer and pantsuit from spiegel, $130. >> for the entire suit. >> for the entire suit. >> wow. >> the corset and top by xoxo for $44. it has like a lace overlay. you what town mix the textures
8:41 am
like the pinstripe and lace, something you want to play with this season. not to miss are the oxford bootie platform pumps from macy's where we see the menswear trend to the footwear. if there is a "it" moment it is for those. >> ladies, take note. >> the bag adding feminine flare to a very much menswear inspired look. >> a chunky commit can be difficult for women to wear. >> seems it is getting chunkier and bigger every season, we saw sweater coats and really, really big knits. but anne is doing everything right. we took that look and cinched it at the waist. this amazing top for $20, the ever-popular jegging this season from urban outfitters, another $20 and victoria secret booties with tassels.
8:42 am
so a bit of heel there but a great casual to weekend look. >> in terms of that, what do we need to look for? you have it cinched at the waist. are there any other rules. >> a lot of volume on top, you want to go slim on the bottom, which we are doing here. >> with the jeggings. lastly, faux fur, i have seen it on kids clothes. >> yes. the designers have really embraced it this season, whether it is chanel, fendi, everyone seems to have it on the runway. very luxurious and afford oable. cella is wearing what i call the most amazing moment, $30 from tjmsdz axx. >> such a great savings. >> $30. >> it is great for the sirmt, animal-friendly and really fantastic. a nice underlay from the loft. you may have a ruffled blouse you can use from your closet, american eagle pants and the booties are so cute, round off the look. again for $30 from payless. >> the booties are great.
8:43 am

8:44 am
>> he's the only one who came in so -- >> hired right got the part. chapter one with a great story how your mom and dad divorced not the great part but rekindles romance with her first love? >> yes. >> what did that teach you? >> so many things. my mom divorced my dad when i was 21 and told me the story how she had the love of her life, her high school sweetheart from the time she was 12 until she was 19. i said, mom, you have to find this man you've been in love with 30 years. she said, i did find him. and they've been married now ten years. >> which only happens in movies. >> only happens in movies. you know what, two things came out of that, one was, i'm glad my mom and dad finally did split up. i think when parents stay together for the children, it probably does more damage than good. you know, we have to all work on what's best for us, not necessarily what's best for our kids. because my example then kept me in relationships too long. which is why i was able to write
8:45 am
books. about what i've learned about failed relationships. >> you write about breaking up but not about your relationship with jim carey and that break-up. why not. >> well, you know, he is a very public figure so i have to respect his privacy. any ear guy i've been with, i've splattered all over the book. but, because he's, you know, he's -- everyone knows who he is, out of privacy to him. but, i did talk about the lessons i learned from that break-up. and the inspiration i hope other women can see. >> and i like how you tackled the subject by showing how men and women react differently to a brake-up. that was a great idea. >> thank you. you know, i did a chapter called "breaking up" and the interview with the girl was very, um, you know, we tend to think more dynamic. you know, men are very linear. so, i was talking to the man about breaking up. it was just, she wasn't making me happy. you know, it was such, you know, straight down the middle where the women are like we have a story, a story of -- story upon
8:46 am
story. >> and say in it so long and try everything to make it work and before you know it 15 years have gone by and it ends anyway. >> the guy said one thing in this break-up chapter and i held onto that which was he xhoo you it wasn't fun anymore. i could relate to that. it is not just about fun but that is big key element. if you are fighting allot in your marriage or relationship, it is time to do inquiry and make it right. >> another cause of break-ups that's days is the internet, the story how your friend's husband finds his ex-girlfriend on the internet and dumps your friend. >> they do all do. >> do you think the internet is the devil. >> i don't know but that's a very good question. i grew up catholic and i'm like waiting for the antichrist. where se? could be the internet. it is a phenomenon how people are going online, especially facebook looking for their old loves. i think almost everybody on facebook has done it, including myself. i talk about concluding for -- >> high school sweetheart. >> i found him.
8:47 am
well, i didn't. >> oprah tried to find him. >> yeah. no, i did read i'm going to quote this percent wrong so don't write me letters but like 5% of divorces had the word facebook in them. i believe them to be true. even sandra bullock and whatever. >> jesse james. >> thank you. he found her on facebook. i think it is something that's tempting and something to keep your eye on! >> you've had break-ups and relationships, but you haven't quit. i know you are casually dating jason tewey former fitness model. >> yes. >> how is it going. >> it's going well. i'm taking things slow. one of the things i talk about in my book a that i'm trying to accomplish this time around dropping the fake me, the pretend self a lot of us do in the beginning of relationships and i'm hoping he would also concur that i am sometimes brutally honest and brutally myself. but in a very loving way. and he loves me for this, not
8:48 am
this, well this maybe a little. >> all of that. >> but, you know, the inside. >> exactly. >> on the inside out. >> i loved it and i want to tell everybody she should go get it and read chapter 34, especially, the brad pitt chapter. you are sitting there going oh, my god. >> you can't tell anybody. >> i'm very mad at you for the end but that's all i'll say. jenny mccarthy thank you. >> thank you. >> i know your little boy evan is doing great. i'm thrilled to have you here. >> thank you. you, too, i mean, ,,,,,,
