show. welcome to madison square garden where rehearsals for the grammys are under way. they are going on right behind us. the biggest stars in music are in new york city and we'll have that for you in a minute. first the story that we told you about yesterday, the photo shop fail in "vanity fair's" new issue. now we've discovered another alteration and this may be the biggest of them all and it was intentional. first you got reese and what may or may not have been a third leg. is that really actually fabric from her dress? "vanity fair" says it is. then we have oprah with three hands. today we've learned james franco was digitally removed from the cover after five women accused him of inappropriate behavior. well, they missed a few shots. here is the photographic proof. we see james was actually positioned between michael shannon and harrison ford.

in this sketch james' name appears twice, one showing where he stands, the other noting his height, 5'11". this this behind the scenes footage of editors at work, james is clearly on the panel of actors who would appear in the issue. so here's what we know. franco sat for a photo shoot in early november with annie leibovitz. a source tells us james knew he was being cut from the issue as soon as the allegations came out. he had been bracing for the fallout, but there was no need for a reshoot since, as we've seen with the epic photo shop fail, this issue is just digital magic anyway. >> the way annie works, she gets everybody ready but she brings them in individually. in this shoot, whether you're in new york or l.a., you're brought in individually and set up and you work with annie one-on-one and she builds and bltuilds and the magic happens behind the camera. another big story here in new york, a new reporter making

remarkable claims about matt lauer's final days at the "today" show before and after he was fired. did matt see the axe coming down? >> today you are calling your 20th macy's parade. >> matt lauer may have known his days at the "today" show were numbered when he hosted the thanksgiving day parade on november 23rd, six days before he was fired. >> it's been a great way to spend this holiday with my family. >> "the new york post" reports that lauer was overheard telling a co-worker, quote, this is going to be my last parade. >> there have been rumors for weeks that "the new york times" and variety were working on stories about lauer. >> the post cited a source who claimed, quote, nobody knew what matt was doing with the interns and junior producers. it was appalling. that apparently changed on monday, november 27 when nbc says it, quote, received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by matt lauer. but if lauer feared repercussions, you wouldn't have

known it on his last day on air november 28th. >> a lot to get to. >> a source tells us the anchor seemed confident and upbeat behind the scenes. that afternoon the post says network executives confronted lauer who reportedly initially admitted only that he had three consensual affairs during his 25 years at "today." the following morning, november 29th, his firing was announced. >> this is a sad morning. >> a source tells co-host savannah guthrie and hoda kotb were briefed about the firing on their way to work. lauer has not commented but at the time he said, quote, some of what is being said about me is untrue or mischaracterized but there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed. lauer retreated to the hamptons where he has remained since his firing. >> we are kicking off the year right because hoda is officially the co-anchor.

>> it just felt like it was meant to be like this. >> keep in mind that the "today" show went on a roll with seven straight weeks at number one after lauer was let go. speaking of shows, there's a big one here on sunday, the grammys. the preparty has already started. >> the stars are scattered all over manhattan last night. come sunday they'll all be right here at msg and we know exactly where queen bee will be, holding court with her king. ♪ >> i don't think jay-z's performance -- >> beyonce and jay-z will be front row and we might be in for a few no-shows. song of the year nominees luis fonsi and daddy yankee will perform despacito. but the biebs, there's no seat for him. as of yesterday justin was chilling in l.a. grabbing lunch with his dad. nominee taylor is also not expected. remember "look what you made me do" was snubbed. but this "idol" will be there.
