[applause] [cheering] [♪] >> anderson: hey, welcome to the show. look who it is! christie brinkley, everybody! [applause] i'm so excited. i'm excited you are here. >> i am so excited. i was just telling anderson everybody loves you. [applause] [cheering] >> anderson: that is so nice. thank you. >> it's universal. i am co-hosting on anderson cooper and i've been practicing my coffee cup techniques. yes. and but and everywhere i go people are like oh, my god, i

love him. >> anderson: that is sweet. very nice. i can name a couple people who don't. we have a huge show i'm happy to be back on live. i've been away for a while. [applause] and we have a story today ripped from the headlines a woman dubbed the coffee cup killer unfairly. lois goodman is here she a u.s. open umpire accused of murdering her husband with a coffee mug and made huge headlines and tabloids. all the charges have been dropped and she is breaking her silence. >> people accused me of trying to murder them with the coffee. i don't know about the cup. >> anderson: and "dancing with the stars" gilles marini is here. so we are excited about that. [applause] >> very excited about that. >> anderson: but, we have a lot to talk about. because i was away, in gaza reporting on the situation therein i thank rosie o'donnell

and andy cohen for filling in. i survived. first of all, let me tell you first. i am on a plane last night flying back from los angeles and i have a thing about people showing their bare feet on airplanes. and i have talked about this before. everywhere i go i was on an amtrak train trying to eat my mcdonald's number one meal, the big mac meal and a guy was flapping his hobbit feet in my face. sure enough i am on a plane yesterday and about to order the meal and a guy was wearing flip-flops on a plane which is number one mistake. takes off his flip-flops and he got his big fat feet on the seat in front of him. and so i get annoyed so i take his picture. that's the guy's feet. and i zeroed in on the front. >> is it the foot? or does it smell? >> anderson: no it's the foot. a socked foot is fine on a plane. a naked foot on a plane is

inappropriate. it strikes me as no one wants to see your hairy hobbit feet on a plane. i don't know. [applause] and we've noticed now a lot of other people are taking pictures of people's naked feet on planes and buses. we found this on youtube. there is someone videotaping. who wants to see this? if you are eating it seems inappropriate. >> i'm from malibu originally and we went everywhere barefoot. >> anderson: hat is fine. you probably have beautiful feet i'm sure. >> i don't know about that but when you are flying, you know, anything goes. >> anderson: no. >> as far as i'm concerned. you never know what is going to happen up there. this could be your last few minutes enjoy it. i eat the ice cream. stewardess is surprised i know you are not going to have this.

oh, yes, i am. bring it on. >> anderson: in malibu on a beach anything close to a beach, even if are you flying to a beach, i will give you you can be shoeless and naked feet. like if you are on the amtrak and in the snowstorm, i just don't want to see your fat hobbit feet. >> the thing about bare feet and travel have you noticed when you have to go through the machine and you put your shoes up there, and then you do this special walk like this i don't want my balls of my feet to touch the ground like they will catch a disease. people walk on their heels. >> anderson: so i had a terrible incident on a plane and i'm not sure i should tell you this because it's gross. but i l i get out of gaza and everything is fine and i'm flying from tel aviv i was shooting in portugal for 60 minutes. so i get out and i get on a plane in tel aviv and i'm flying

through rome to get to portugal and i suddenly become violently ill. and i don't get ill often. but i noticed like i'm sitting there like oh, my god, i got to go to the bathroom. and i run -- >> you did not throw up on the plane? >> anderson: no, i run to the bathroom and i have an incident in the bathroom. i will not go into details but i normally don't sit down in a public bathroom. i could not help myself i was so desperate and i was in there for a good hour. i mean. yeah, yeah, no. i mean people were banging on the door. i was the star of business class i will tell you that. >> and one thing i do not like on a plane, is people throwing up. >> anderson: so then i leave the bathroom finally. like there is a long line. and i am out of the bathroom for two minutes and all of a sudden i'm like i got to go back and i jump the line.

i'm sorry, you really will want me to go believe me. i go in. not only -- i ended up not only am i sitting on the toilet, i'm throwing up at the same time. >> no. >> anderson: it was the worst. i had things coming out of pours i did not know. and then, this is where it gets disgusting. [laughter] >> it wasn't already? >> anderson: you know the sinks it is full. it's full. and i'm like what do you do? because i was so embarrassed. >> get that container on the wall. >> anderson: the drain it will not drain and i end up having to take all these napkins and soak everything. i know. it was disgusting. truly. i used that bathroom the entire flight. everyone on the plane hated me. i mean, i was the most

disgusting passenger ever. >> are you better now, right. >> anderson: much better, much better. but then, i had nothing but the hardship. then i go to portugal which is a beautiful country i had never been before. stunning place. and it took me days to recover. i had a doctor. i am in this beautiful coastal area shooting a story for 60 minutes involving the water. but i'm on the water, for two hours shooting this story, that night and it's overcast. beautiful sunset that is my instagram picture. beautiful place in portugal. i wake up in the middle of the night and it feels like my eyes are on fire. my eyeballs. and i think maybe i have sand in my eyes. i doused my eyes with water. anyway, it turns out i have sunburned my eyeballs and i go blind. and i went blind for about 36 hours. i took this picture of me after

i went to the hospital. i got to see a doctorment i could not see. that is my new match.com profile picture. that is going to work for me. >> i sunburned my eyeballs once the day before i was skiing on a celebrity ski challenge and i woke up like this the morning of the ski challenge with my eyes like this. i will wear one of those masks that looks like you are robbing a bank. >> anderson: i had no idea you could do this. i wanted to warn people and we have nbc's dr. nancy sniederman to talk about this. i did not realize you can burn your eyeballs. explain this. because the doctor in portugal who was lovely did not speak english so i have no idea what happened to me. >> it's really the uva and uvb rays of the sun and you have pale eyes like i do and if you do not have sunglasses on

polarized it is like the snow blindness that christie talked about and for you, it was the light reflecting off the water. fortunately, it had nothing to do with the vomiting and diarrhea. but it is a reminder that everybody needs sunglasses. it's funny later in life people get cataracts totally preventible if people wore sunglasses. but on the water, on the beach, on the slopes, you burned your retina. and that temporary blindness is common. fortunately for you, if you are going to be fine. but a real reminder. >> anderson: i appreciate you confirming that. because it is terrifying. you can't see anything. and i was -- i didn't know what to do. i googled like burned eyeballs. and sure enough it popped up and i could barely read it. and now i'm taking drops still and the light still is affecting them but i'm told it will get better. >> is it worse for anderson has

gorgeous pale blue baby eyes. >> anderson: tell me more. >> yes, you are absutely right. because anyone with pale blue or green eyes is not going to be able to keep the light out as much. so you're absolutely correct the pale eyes are more susceptible. everybody is. but no doubt anderson is more susceptible than most people and the drops take care of the inflamation. for some people they can have fuzzy vision for a good week or two afterwards. but one time offense you will be just fine. >> anderson: it's repeated exposure. >> what are you doing on the water without sunglasses? >> i never knew. the surfers don't wear sunglasses. people swim in the ocean all the time without sunglasses. who knew? >> from now on, no more. >> anderson: i guess. yeah, i guess so. and doctor thank you, i appreciate it. thank you for calling in dr.

[applause] very excited. and she has been hospitalized with a rare condition called hyper emesis. >> which is morning sickness but extreme morning sickness.

how many of you had morning sickness? it's horrible. there's nothing worse than being nauseous and you know. so it's like you had that -- >> it sounds like something from harry potter. i have to say. >> it does. >> anderson: it is a rare form of morning sickness only like .3% of people get it. and it could mean that she may be having twins or triplets. >> or a hairy baby. >> anderson: a hairy baby? >> yes, don't they say if you get heartburn or nauseous that your baby is going to come out with a full head of hair. >> anderson: is that true? >> yes. and if you carry the bump really low and nothing else gets fat then it is a boy. if the face fills out first, and if the hips get wide it is a girl. >> anderson: why have i never heard this? is this true. >> stick with me, kid.

>> anderson: it's not in my wheel house. i feel bad for this child already just the amount of attention. the child has a twitter page like there's like the royal fetus there is a twitter handle for t and news groups are morphing pictures of the two to see what the kid will look like. the kid is what? not even a-month-old. >> i love one of the headlines was kate expectations. >> anderson: that is good. >> but it's true if you feel bad for the child imagine if it's twins. the first one becomes the king, i would rather be the second one. all the perks and none of the responsibilities. >> anderson: i guess if you are the second one by 15 seconds you are second in line. >> you are golden. like ok. you go out and mingle. and do all of that. and i'm going to go hang with

harry. [laughter] >> anderson: because harry is the one having all the fun. it seems like that. kate hogan the editor from people.com is with us and it will be a huge story. >> definitely. it is. [applause] we've had all of our readers everyone in the world is excited about this baby. anticipation for a year now and i think kate will be so followed during her pregnancy. >> anderson: is this going to be the next cover issue of people? >> it definitely is. it's huge for us. we are excited and our readers are excited. >> all of her clothes that she is going to wear. >> she will be the most amazing pregnant dresser. >> anderson: a lot of pressure on her. a lot of pressure. there is a story in new york it is a local story. but it really i think it's horrified people in the country on the cover of the post today a man who was pushed on to the subway tracks, killed by, i guess, seems to be some sort of

deranged person. and they have a whole series of photos. this is allegedly the man who pushed him. and then you actually see the guy standing on the tracks, standing on the platform still. there is video that was taken. and then the victim is on the tracks, laying on the tracks unaware that a train is coming and then this is the final picture. when the train is coming. >> how do you take that picture instead of running over and giving your hand? >> anderson: what i do not understand there were a lot of people on the tracks trying to wave down the train. i don't you had why more people weren't running to help grab the guy and just pull him up. and again we were not there there is a lot we don't know. but apparently, his wife was interviewed, the victim's wife was interviewed and had an argument before he left the house and he had been drinking and alcohol was found on him

after he was killed. >> what about the behavior that made everybody turn their cameras to him, was there loud screaming? at what point does the person that is observing this, you know, not say ok this is getting out of hand? let's stop this? >> anderson: we see so many people now videotaping fights. and not trying to intervene and help. and you know it's tricky when you intervene because you don't know it could get worse. but i hate to see a situation like this where seems like there were a lot of people around on that platform. you would think it would seem somebody could have tried to intervene. >> i'm concerned. we need to remove the walls and barriers and things that are between us and remember we are all people and we have to like step in and help each other. >> anderson: i agree. [applause] that is very true. the -- we want to send our

thoughts randy silver who is a member of our staff, she has given -- she is having surgery with her mom partial liver transplant. her mom had liver failure. randy was a match for her mom so she stepped up to the plate and is donating part of her liver to help her mom. they are undergoing surgery today. we wish them well.

[applause] >> anderson: welcome back.

christie brinkley will be out later. you may have heard about a case, the coffee cup killer case and got national attention when a u.s. open referee lois goodman was charged with killing her husband with a coffee cup. days ago, the charges were dropped against her. rarely when the charges are dropped do they get attention. we are doing it to give attention to this woman now who had the charges dropped. lois goodman here is what happened to her. >> friday was a day that lois goodman will remember for the rest of her life. [applause] >> dubbed by tabloids as the coffee cup killer, the la court dropped all charges against her ending the five-month ordeal accused of killing alan goodman, her husband of 49 years by blujening him to death with a coffee cup. it started on april 17th when lois called police after finding her husband's body in bed and

covered with blood. an autopsy later revealed that alan suffered multiple blows to his head and pieces of a coffee cup were found embedded. lois goodman a tennis umpire was in new york preparing for the u.s. open when police arrested her for the murder of her husband. as she waited in jail for her day in court, the evidence in the case started to breakdown. first she passed a polygraph test. second, her dna was not found on the murder weapon. and third an outside pathologist determined the cause of alan's death was a heart attack. and not injuries sustained by being hit with a coffee cup. this past october her daughter allison was on the show declaring her mother's innocence. >> the hardest day of my life was when i had to visit her in jail and she was in there in other orange jumpsuit.

>> breaking her silence is lois goodman and her daughter allison and attorneys. i appreciate you being with us. [applause] you know, so often we see the story notice tabloids and they dubbed you the coffee cup killer and when the charges are dropped it is mentioned 10 pages in the back of the newspaper. how does it feel to have the charges dropped? >> i'm elated. it is such a relief. knowing that i said i didn't do anything. i was my husband's caregiver. and -- >> anderson: how long were you married for? >> six weeks short of 50 years. >> anderson: did you have a chance to mourn his death? >> never, no. i wasn't allowed to. they had me -- they felt that i was guilty and they just didn't leave me alone.

>> anderson: the other thing i find remarkable they arrested you in new york and when they came to arrest you on the street there were reporters already there. so someone in the police tipped off reporters to make it a media story. >> yes,. >> anderson: what is that like to be arrested? >> it was horrible. i don't get parking tickets. i've never been in trouble in my life. there was five or six steps leading from the hotel to the sidewalk. as soon as i put my foot down on the sidewalk they came out of nowhere. and we're arresting you for the murder of your husband. and i remember vividly this is such a mistake. this is so embarrassing. i didn't do anything. as they are putting the handcuffs on me. >> anderson: allison what is it like to see your mom go through this? >> it was horrible on every level. it was surreal and you have to live through it. and it's embarrassing and awful and it's horrible in every way.

>> anderson: and you have been a voice standing up for your mom. what is it like to have your daughter standing up for you? >> she has been wonderful. my whole family has been wonderful and my attorneys have worked so hard. and thank god that they are there for me. my friends. hundreds and hundreds of letters and e-mails and voice messages. >> anderson: i want to talk to your attorneys when we come back to find out legally what happens now. they could bring charges back. and we will take a quick break. and find out if lois could be sent back to prison. we will be right back. [applause]

>> anderson: we well we are talking to lois goodman, dubbed the coffee cup killer and all the charges have been dropped. what do you think happened to your husband? >> well, i wasn't there. we were out in the morning. i came home. i changed my clothes. and i was home for half an hour and i left to go to work. and umpire at a junior college five minutes from my home. and as soon as i was finished there, i left. and i got my nails manicured. and you know, it was reported that i went home and i killed my husband, put him in the bed and then went and got my nails done. and it was so heartless. >> anderson: you found your husband? >> i got home six-and-a-half

hours after i left him. he was fine when i left and he wasn't when i came home. it was frightening how i did not faint, i don't know. but i tried to keep it together. called up 9-1-1. and the rest is history. >> anderson: and are you going back to being an umpire? >> oh, yes. yes. [applause] >> anderson: tennis umpire. that is what you love doing? [applause] >> i love my job. you know how many people can say that? i've made so many good friends all over the world. all over the united states. and the calls coming in and the e-mails and the facebook and my kids have updated our website. lois goodman defense fund. >> anderson: and the kids doing the website. >> and they are posting you know, clips and articles and quotes and the videos of the

shows that we've been on. and i just want everybody to know that i had nothing to do with it. it was a tragic accident. >> anderson: do you think people will always have that horrible tabloid headline tag? >> you cannot avoid it. but i know my family and all my friends, the coaches from the colleges, they all know that i couldn't do anything like that and they have been behind me 110%. >> anderson: what happens now legally? >> well there is a concern because they dismissed without prejudice. meaning in the future they could refile. but there's no evidence. they shouldn't have filed it in the first place. and so we went through the case and said here's what is wrong with your case. we had a former f.b.i. agent who is the best in the country give her a polygraph exam. and he said she did not do it. >> anderson: and do you believe that they intentionally waited to arrest her in new york to make it a bigger story?

>> yes. >> anderson: no doubt about it. >> we are not going there, anderson. yes. >> there was no story when you have a grandmother in her nighty getting arrested at her townhouse but it is an amazing story in her u.s. open uniform, leaving to ref a tournament and they arrest her here. it was unnecessary. >> anderson: does this change the way -- having been through the legal system, does it open your eyes to things? does it change the way you look at things? >> well, you have a perception of police being there to protect us. and in this case, they are just doing their job. but, they went after me. i was all they had. >> anderson: have you been able now to mourn your husband? what do you miss most about him? >> well, you know, they didn't let me mourn him.

and he is in my heart. i'll never forget him. i miss him. >> anderson: thank you for being here. i wish you the best. [applause] allison, thank you. we will be right back. [applause] crystal geyser is always

david. >> thank you, great to be here. >> anderson: what is the biggest challenge you find in getting families together? >> it has to be scheduling. that is the biggest issue trying to get the family around the table and making it a priority. and getting the whole family to agree to eat the same thing at the same time. >> anderson: getting the kids to eat the food, too. we heard from viewers asking for david's help. one mom stood out. take a look. >> hi, anderson i'm laura. and i'm 46 years old and i am a mom and step mom to seven children ranging from ages 24 down to 6. and i would love ideas how to get our family all on the same schedule eating some things that everybody likes because we have a hard time pleasing everyone and getting everybody in the routine of having dinner together. we have a hard time all connecting between work and school and the children working now and we would love any ideas that you and david can give us.

[applause] >> anderson: joining us is laura our winner. congratulations. [applause] >> congratulations. >> thank you so much. >> anderson: as a mom it has to be frustrating not to be able to get the family around the dinner table. >> gosh it's one of my biggest challenges. we have children from 24 to 6. and my mom lives with us now since her husband passed. so i'm feeding nine usually. >> wow. >> but i can tell you there are times i cook a big meal. and four show up. and it's so frustrating. i want to say that's it. pizza for the rest of our lives. it's frustrating so i'm looking forward to trying to make this work. it will be a challenge. >> anderson: what is your advice? >> the first thing, i think is that the family needs to make the commitment. you need to get everybody on the same page. commit to two days a week to start. try to get everybody to commit to two meals. they can be a saturday morning breakfast or a supper.

>> when we were younger it was easy. mom would open the door and scream for me and my brother to come in. right now i'm texting and facebooking and who is working. >> my mother used to whistle for us. >> anderson: and david offered to come to your home and get your family together. >> we are going to do that. [applause] >> i have a lot of cleaning to do first. >> it's exciting to have this opportunity to visit with you. because if we can identify issues and get the family involved with meal planning and get the kids to go do the shopping. >> and get my children to cook. let's do that. >> and making sure we eliminate the distractions. how many of your kids are on cellphones? >> all of them. i say shut it off and put it -- then they have the excuse it was my job. i have this -- >> no, we will give you a basket and you collect them all before dinner. and because you are asking them to give you 30 minutes.

they can get off the phones for 30 minutes. and i read you were having issues with cooking multiple dishes because everybody was finicky? you don't run a restaurant. >> i say that. >> we are going to reach consensus. >> ok. >> i have a cookbook full of comfort food dishes and we will pick things out together and we will cook together. >> anderson: i want to be there. david will go over and help laura out. and we want everyone to get involved. our audience will go home with a copy of david's new book in the kitchen. and available at qvc. i cannot wait to hear what happens. are you ready for it? >> yes. >> i'm so excited to meet your family. >> and find out how you can win a copy of his new book go to andersoncooper.com. we will be right back.
