recruiters won't that will improve your chances of landing your next job. i promise it's going to be helpful. good morning, everybody. we want to start off the hour with breaking news and take you straight to the west coast and we start in tustin, california, where s.w.a.t teams were called out after a man inside that home there and we think he's leaning out the window. somebody came to the house to try to repossess his car. after a confrontation the man went back inside and the s.w.a.t teams were called out and we're not sure if there are other people in the home right now. if you're familiar with the state of california, tustin is just inland of newport beach, roughly an hour and a half down from los angeles. again, police are in a standoff with the man they believe is leaning out the window there in the front of the house. a robot has been sent in on the front lawn. you can see it there just at the bottom of the screen above breaking news. we'll continue to follow the story and bring you any developments. we have a new update on the conditions of some of the survivors of monday's deadly plane crash in alaska that

killed five people, including former alaska senator ted stevens. want to go straight out now to msnb miguel, he's live in anchorage. miguel, good morning. >> thomas, good morning. with survivors brought to local hospitals, the shift of the investigation is now focused on how and why that plane went down. investigators tell us it could take days, if not weeks, though, for them to reach the crash site because it is so remote and so very isolated. shrouded in fog, we are seeing the 1957 otter plane that carried all nine people aboard for the first time, although it slam under to the ground with tremendous force, the plane remains mostly in tact. as you know, five passengers including former senator ted stevens are among the dead and close friend sean o'keefe and his teenage son. the wreckage was first spotted late monday, some three plus hours after it took off bound for a fishing expedition.

the amphibious ape went down south of dillingham. a group of responders responded but because of bad weather they had to wait 12 hours overnight for survivors to arrive the next morning. we spoke to am of those rescuers just a short time ago. >> they were pretty stressed that people had been there overnight. the volunteers. the survivors looked stable to me, although they were all banged up and had broken bones. they were dirty and wet and cold. >> those rescuers actually had to cut a whole out of the back of the plane to free the other survivors so that they could get airlifted to a local hospital. we told those survivors are at this local hospital behind me and are being treated for their injuries. thomas? >> thanks very much. we check in now on the latest on the government investigation into what caused the deadly plane crash. nbc tom costello joins us this morning to talk this over. tom, so, let's go over this and

weather still is the biggest concern for how this is going to be investigated, correct? >> well, not only is the weather going to, as miguel mentioned, going to really be a difficult problem to overcome as they try to get to the crash scene, those low-hanging clouds, the fog, the moisture will complicate efforts. but the question is, did it in any way contribute to the crash itself. you know, one theory out there and i would hasten to add, there are always theories early in an investigation but one theory is that the cloud was so low, the cloud bank was so low and hanging so low that the pilots simply didn't see the side of a hill or a mountain and, quite literally, he just flew right into it. now, the pilot is a man of great experience. terry smith had 29,000 hours in the cockpit, but he had spent most of that time in a big aircraft. he had served as the chief pilot for alaska airways. he had spent many, many years flying that airline's main line carriers and aircraft, i should

say. and, ironically, this crash has just so many ironies to it. senator stevens, of course, who survived the crash in 1978 and then, of course, senator beggich replaced stevens and his father also died in a plane crash. here's yet another irony the man who was piloting this plane thiz son-in-law just died in a plane crash a few weeks ago. alaska is known as this area with a lot of white knuckle flying. it is remote and the way you get into some of these areas is by no other means than an aircraft and that can create, as you know, a very difficult flying condition. this part of southwest alaska right off of the ocean is known as being vulnerable to really bad weather that can move in very quickly. we talked to an outback bush pilot as they're known just yesterday who flies and has flown in alaska for 41 years. he says the weather can move in so quickly and, if you want to

get out and you can get back to your home base, that can be difficult because the weather closed in behind you. so, the weather as you mentioned is going to be a central theme as they try to look at what happened here. >> we were hearing earlier, tom, as people described these planes as part of the way of life up there. the taxies, they're the buses. they're how everybody gets around. coming up at the half hour, we'll talk to the former press secretary and chief of staff for senator ted stevens. stick around for that. the fed up flight attendant who grabbed the beer and said, see you by the emergency chute is out of jail and he's talking about his new folk hero status. here's what steven slater said last night. >> it's been very, very appreciated. it seems like it's something here that has resonated with a few people. that's kind of neat. >> it's resonated, all right. jeff rossen is live in new york city with more on who steven slater is and new audiotapes from the control tower. jeff, good morning.

>> hey, good morning to you. we have the new audiotapes in just a moment, but, first, let you know literally just moments ago we conducted a quick exclusive interview with steven slater and he was getting into his car and asked him a couple things. first, do you have any regrets? he sort of gave me one of those smirks. he has sort of been doing on these perk walks as if to say, no. he appreciates all the support and he's truly overwhelmed by it. we'll turn that tape around and get it to you shortly. unclear where he's headed now. he's been hanging out with friend at this new york city apartment building on the upper east side of manhattan and now we're hearing from air traffic controllers at the moment that chute deployed, that he deployed that chutet and went off on the passenger and air traffic control tapes, the chaos that was going on and some of the confusion, as well. let's take a listen. >> we just had a slide deployment on 274, so, that's, that's in the book. >> copy that, sir. there are technicians on the way

to assess the situation. >> thank you. >> can you give me the location of the slide that deployed? >> it's the r-1 slide. it was intentionally deployed. >> steven slater has become somewhat of a folk hero for the working class who sort of want to do something similar to their boss when people anger them at work. 81,000 and counting. 81,000 hours ago on his facebook fanpage and growing by the moment. free steven and save steven slater t-shirts that are already being made and, so, really, you see how this country is sort of honoring him in a way, but prosecutors say, thomas, this was very serious. this chute could have hurt somebody when he opened it up and deployed it on othat flight. he now faces up to seven years in prison if he's convicted of a couple different felonies. >> we'll look forward to the new tape you just had. all right, jeff rossen, thank

you, sir. the manhunt for an escaped arizona inmate and his alleged accomplice has gone international. he has been out on the run since june 30th. the couple think of themselves as a modern day bonnie and clyde. there have been numerous report sightings of the couple along montana. authorities are worried that there are just too many ways that the couple could slip into canada and do so undetected. nbc george lewis is live for us in billings, montana. george, good morning. >> good morning to you, thomas. we have new information from the u.s. marshal service and they're telling us this morning that welch and mccluskey may have changed their appearances. they believe that the woman casslyn welch may have lightened his air color and he may be growing a beard. the u.s. marshals base this on

various sightings believed to be of the couple in the area around the montana/canada border. a little town called st. mary's was one place where a woman looking like welch, but with lighter colored hair was seen on sunday night at a local restaurant. she spoke of meeting a man somewhere in the vicinity, a woman who talked to her later saw her picture in the paper and called authorities. that's one of the tips they're working on. also working on tips from north of the border in the canadian province of alberta. the couple may have already crossed the border. they have the canadian authorities in search and the whole contingent of the u.s. marshal service all the way from arizona to up here in montana looking for these two individuals. the marshal service emphasizes they are armed and considered extremely dangerous and people should not try to approach them if they spot folks looking like the couple, they should, instead, call the authorities right away. >> police are looking for all the tips they can get.

george, thank you. another storm headed towards the gulf is stopping bp short of plugging the well for good. work is now stopped on those relief wells until the forecast clears up. mike seidel is live in venice, louisiana. mike, where do things stand right now? >> things right now are looking pretty good, thomas. the system move undd into the g yesterday and became a tropical depression. that's where it is. it's barely on life support and minimal tropical depression at 30 miles an hour and a couple hundred miles now south of pensacola, florida, moving towards the gulf coast. the only thing we've seen this morning so far is in southeast louisiana we had gusty winds and downpours including metro new orleans. the future is up in the air right now so to speak. hurricane hunters will go out there this afternoon and get in the area around 1:30 and see what is going on and they may downgrade this to a tropical low later on and they may hold on to it as a depression later tonight. we thought earlier it may become a minimal tropical storm and get

the name danielle. right now it's looking less and les likely. out where we're dealing with the rigging oof the drilling, they are experiencing winds of 10 to 15 miles an hour right now and seas only three to four feet. the ships remain, the equipment remains and they're not drilling. that is setting back the final aspect of this situation, at least a few days. thomas, things are looking up and up, much like bonnie and collin. having a tough life and hopefully will die and bring some rain on the coast tonight and tomorrow. georgia's gubernatorial primary is still too close to call and the tea party has a special victory. the results of yesterday's big primary races coming up. new developments in the kyron horman case. police are about to ask for the public's help in tracking down a new lead. with so many americans that are out of a job right now. we'll get the inside scoop from a career coach about the ten things recruiters won't tell you. after using rogaine for a while, i went to my stylist

and she said hair was growing back... i was like, yes, this works... [ male announcer ] only rogaine is proven to regrow hair in 85% of guys. puhh puhh puhh putt and that's it. [ male announcer ] stop losing. start gaining.

puhh puhh puhh putt and that's it. there's oil out there we've got to capture. my job is to hunt it down. i'm fred lemond, and i'm in charge of bp's efforts to remove oil from these waters. you may have heard that oil is no longer flowing into the gulf, but our spotter planes and helicopters will keep searching. we've still got thousands of vessels ready to clean up any oil we find. we've skimmed over 35 million gallons of oil/water mixture. i grew up on the gulf coast and i love these waters. we'll be here as long as it takes to clean up the gulf.

welcome back to msnbc this morning. we want to continue to follow that breaking news coming to us out of tu is, t irx n, california, after s.w.a.t teams were called in after he confronted a repo man. clint is a former fbi hostage negotiator, as well as an msnbc analyst. explain the details of what we know here. it happened in the early morning hour wheres a repo man comes to this guy's house to take back his car. >> about 3:00 a.m. this morning, thomas, exactly as you say, a repo man and tow truck showed up to take this man's car back and

realized that sources also suggest that his house was being orepossessed at the same time, which may also suggest he's another american having challenges on his job. so, this guy had the three, two, if not three, psychological challenges of the epollipsepock coming at him. what he did was he took a rental truck and he started ramming the tow truck just in frustration. law enforcement was called and the individual ran back in his house and it's been, as police would say, barricaded in his house for about the past five hours. now, just recently, as msnbc has shown, i realize, thomas, this guy could well be watching this on television and me remarks are based upon that possible premise that he's been throwing items outside, documents to show law enforcement that he's being, his house was being repossessed

unfairly. but this gentleman also has a recent history of being arrest for making "terroristic threats." that does not mean that he's threatening the country or anything, it suggests that he may well in his frustration concerning the potential loss of his house made some untoward statement in his house or anger or frustration and rage and law enforcement now, my hostage negotiators and others on scene examining documents and trying to talk to him and trying to resolve this peacefully. >> clint, we'll keep an eye on this so we'll ask you to stick nearby and we may come back to you for more information as we continue to watch that story out of tustin, california, thank you, sir. georgia's runoff for governor was too close to call until a few moments ago now deal is back by former house speaker newt gingrich. deal is going to face democrat roy barnes come november.

now, in connecticut, former pro wrestling executive linda mcmahon won the senate and she will face richard blumenthal in november. he beat former state representative andrew romanoff who was backed by former president bill clinton. then on the republican side, tea party favorite ken buck defeated former lieutenant governor jane norton. we turn now to another y senate race this fall in pennsylvania. democratic congressman joe sestak will face pat toomey. we're joined now by msnbc political reporter dominco. the own candidate missed his own campaign rally yesterday, explain this because we understand former president clinton was there. >> the former admiral was awol at his rally. not that he's running away from president clinton.

in fact, quite the opposite. a bit of bad timing. he stayed in d.c. for that vote if you remember on the $26 billion aid package. what wound up happening is our producer had reported yesterday on "first read" that clinton took the stage with sestak's dotters and they only showed video of sestak greeting candidates. >> i know we got this in a few second ago. you haven't had time to analyze this. they were saying that race was too close to call but now it is official. >> it was a close race and this morning only 2,500 votes or so separated the two candidates. democrats think they have a better shot against nathan deal than they might have had against karen hanel and roy barnes who is running to get his old job back. democrats like their chances and it is going to be a toss-up race for sure. deals resigned under an ethics cloud to run for governor and, like you said, this has been billed of something as a proxy fight between 2010 candidates

who are on handel's side and palin who vo-- so, it's going t be a great race to watch come the fall. >> tick talk, november is coming. thanks. the grandson of legendary explorer cousteau has been tracking the oil disaster and he'll join us live. let us know what you think of any our stories today. you can find. can i have some ice cream please ? no, it's just for new people. hey ! chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry ? chocolate ! chocolate it is ! yeah but i'm new too. umm... he's new... er... than you. even kids know it's wrong to treat new friends better than old friends.

at ally bank we treat all our customers fairly. with no teaser rates... ... and no minimum deposits. it's just the right thing to do.

you know, heartbreaking that more than 14 million americans are right now out of work and if you are one of them, you know you have lots of competition that's out there. are recruiters, though, telling you everything you need to know to land that next great job?

giving us pointers and she launched the website and good to have you with us this morning. recruiters aric le ilooking for, because they need to be effective and efficient. >> they're looking for the perfect candidate. remember, they're being graded and they're trying to keep their own job based on finding the perfect candidate each and every time. they're not going to be big risk takers. the more you can match the skills, ability and culture everything they're looking for, the better they are. >> they have to market you. >> they do have market you. and it is more than the skill sets, you need to integrate with the existing team and work with the manager and they're assessing all of that and really making a decision as in little as 13 minutes as whether they should move forward with you. >> you wrote a great article with you and first impression factor is huge and ask yourself, am i guilty of the following. go over with us some of the pointers you put on your website about what we're guilty of or we shouldn't be guilty of when we

go in to meet the recruiter. >> absolutely. we need to keep in mind that every job is temporary and we're all businesses of one. you have to brand that business, you are a walking, talking, personal brand. we see classic mistakealize the time, whether it's attire, you're wearing the wrong things and you're outdated or sloppy or disshoveled, are you saying the right things oor being professional or using slang. do you have little ticks. there is so much you should be considering because that is the first impression. and, i'll tell you, i was in recruiting for many years and the rule was this. whatever we saw in the interview, multiply that by ten and that is what we were going to get in the first 90 days in the job. we are assessing every action you take and the way you present yourself, all of it and you cannot leave that up to chance. >> 93% of communication is nonverbal. everybody is really addressing the body language. >> they are. they are watching you and listening to the voice tone and the facial expressions and they can tell if you're lying and they can tell if you're being

insincere. you have to be very authentic and prep for your interviews and prep and have great conviction with what you want to convey about your personal brand. so that it really feels authentic and they know you're the real deal. >> that's where you say punch up your strength and embrace what you know, right? >> that's it. you cannot be the jack or jill of all trades and the moment you go in there and say you are, you've lost the game. you need to figure out what your strengths are and brand those specifically and quantifiably show them how you save or make a company money by using these things. they cannot hire you unless you prove you're worth the salary they're going to pay you. >> a free weninar coming up at 1:00 p.m. >> we have free webinars every week. ten things recruiters won't tell you, but i will pep come by and check it out. >> good to have you on. >> thank you for having me, thomas. environmentalists say the gulf oil disaster could have a devastating effect on the world's waterways. the grandson of jack cousteau

♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] like summer it's here, but not forever. the lexus golden opportunity sales event.

don't wait to enjoy legendary lexus quality at equally legendary prices. see your lexus dealer. alaska is mourning the death of their long-time former governor stevens. he was killed with four others when their small plane crash under to a side of a mountain during a fishing trip. we are joined by mitch rose who was the former chief of staff for the senator. thank you for joining us, i know this has been a very stressful 24-hour period there the stevens' family, as well as for you. tell us thou family is doing today. >> well, they're hanging in there. it's, obviously, a great loss. they are gathering in alaska, as we speak. they have been hardened by the outpouring of love and support from around the world. president obama reached oout to mrs. stevens yesterday and very gracious conversation, she was

very touched. world leaders, people from the senate family, former staff and everyday alaskans have just been wonderful in their love and support of the senator. >> mitch, when was the family notified that something may be wrong? >> you know, i really didn't get into the specifics of that with them. they were focused on the search and rescue effort, focused on listening to the details of what was going on. obviously, there was some concern. >> it has been talked about that senator stevens did survive another crash back in 1978 that sadly claimed the life of his first wife. he feared he would one day die in a plane crash, is this something he shared with you? >> we talked about the dangers of flying in alaska but i think that's a little overdone. small planes like he perished are and there are buses and taxies in alaska. 75% of the communities are only accessible by air. it's an occupational hazard and he loved alaska and loved to go all over alaska, north slopes,

southeast, out to southwest and dillingham. you always know it is a little bit of a risk, certainly, he was not a bruder, he was a can do type of guy. just a march forward type of person. there was no obsession or premonitions. he just loved his state and nothing was going to stop him from grabbing a rod reel and going out and grabbing salmon. >> senatorceiveens was the longest serving republican senator in history. 40 years in congress. i know people called him uncle ted in alaska, but what did he really mean to the people there? >> he had a motto to hell with politics, just do what's right with alaska. that's really how he lived his life. he took on every challenge with alaska in mind and how he could make the state better and he started, obviously, in the eisenhower administration with the dream of statehood and then worked every day to make that dream a reality and fulfill the economic potential of the state try to fill the potential of

everyday alaskans. he worked with the native community to settle landmark preservation and alaskans and all americans could enjoy the bounties of the sea. he just worked tirelessly on behalf of the state and as the family said, his legacy is that 49th star in the american flag. >> we will continue to talk about that legacy for long time to come. mitch rose, thank you, sir. >> thank you. drilling the final feet of a relief well intended to permanently plug the busted oil well in the gulf will have to wait for a few days as tropical depression bears down on that area. meanwhile today 5,000 square miles of gulf was reopened for commercial and recreational fishing. despite that bit of good news the disaster will have an impact for years even decades to come. grandchildren of legendary explorer jacques cousteau is hosti hosting a documentary.

>> we are maybe, what, two hours south of new orleans. >> yes. >> what are we looking at right here? what is this? >> this is the weathered oil that has come in. >> this, look at that. this is oil. >> that's coming in. >> on the beach. thick, goop. smells a little bit like motor oil and it's all over this beach. >> fuleap cousteau for planet green joins me live from new orleans. i know we were having trouble with our live shot, i thought we would because of weather there, but how are things looking right now? i know the storm is coming. >> the storm is in and out. we have a lot of rain this morning, it was very windy. but we're kind of in a lull right now. i'm on the mississippi river here in new orleans and, as you said, unfortunately the drilling of the relief well has been suspended and it has been kind of the story this summer. it's been touch and go all summer long and a terrible catastrophe and, as you said, it's with us for a long time to

come. >> give ostype of the kind of documentary that you and your sister put together for "planet green." >> my sister and i are hosting a whole month of program on "planet green." exploring and understanding the importance of the oceans. programming we just were not involved in but from the cove and the television premiere of that amazing academy winning film, we have shark water and my series that i did "oceans blue" which you referenced earlier. it's not just about the gulf here, but we travel from the arctic to africa to the indian ocean and every sunday night at 9:00 p.m., that series a new episode of that series premieres here in the u.s. planet green and planetgreen.com we have a boat traveling behind us blowing a horn there, but planet green and planetgreen.com. all sorts of programs dedicated to the ocean. >> tell us about some of the

secrets that you exposed for all of us to learn? >> well, you know, secrets with respect to the oil spill? >> with respect to the ocean. i was reading that you bring some new things to life that maybe we haven't seen before. >> you'll have to forgive this, this horn that's blowing here. you know, there's so many things that we don't know about our oceans. we've explored only about 8% or 9% of our world's oceans. we actuallysecenactually sent m the moon than we did to our deepest parts. from filming polar bears and the red sea and sperm whales and giant squid in the sea of cortez. we were learning new things every day. they are the life support of this planet, we do rely on them for all people as primary source of oxygen and they regulate our climate and we're changing and that's affecting them.

blue august is a precautionary tale and also an exploration of the wonder. great programming and a fantastic month and i encourage everyone to tune in. >> you kept focused through the horn and everything. good work, good work. >> i know. we have boats going by and all sorts of things happening in mississippi. >> thanks so much. great to see you. a story that is developing now. we told you about it earlier in the show. new video with msnb krfs jeff rossen talking to steven slater. the fed up flight attendant who grabbed some beer and said, see you, by way of the emergency chute on the jetblue flight. take a listen. >> how are you feeling today? >> i have a lot to do. a lot on my plate and a lot to do. >> what do you want to say to people out there who are calling you a working class hero? >> i am a little overwhelmed. something i had no idea was going on out there. >> any regrets? that face says it all. >> just keeping his sense of humor. we turn now to the education

risus in america in a series of reports called "making the grade" as we focus on possible solutions and today we look at charter schools who want praise from president obama and everyone down. the ebony education round table will be moderated later today by our own tamron hall. rehema, good morning. >> good morning, thomas. you can see they're setting up behind me for that round table discussion that is getting under way later. one thing they'll talk about is charter schools and that ends up being at one alternative for some families. take a look at the screen we want to show you. 1.6 million children in charter schools across this country. but that leaves 400,000 children who are on waiting lists to get into schools that are public charter schools and that's because only 5% of all public schools in this country are charter. we've got 54 million students in public schools across the

country. so, charter schools make up only a small fraction of what people can do in this country, in terms of trying to provide some educational alternative for their children. several states are involved in this, though. we want to show you a map of the states that are involved in having charter schools across this country. there are 11 states that do not participate at all in this educational alternative for kids, but so many of them are involved in it. i want to talk and bring in right now the chairwoman of johnson publishing company which publishes ebony magazine which is sponsoring this forum on education this afternoon. tell me, why is it and linda johnson rice, by the way, why is it that ebony magazine decided you needed to talk about this and talk about it now. >> education is crucial and it's crucial to the advancement of the african-american community and what better platform to do it than through ebony magazine.

we've reached a numerous amount of african-americans and it's important to our readers. they have written to us, they're very vocal. they want to know, what can we do to advance education in our community. >> it was inspired by readers and a full screen of the magazine cover and you're devoting the whole issue, primarily, your september issue to education. >> 30 pages devoted to this very unique section in our september issue with our president obama on the cover talking about education and how important it is. >> now, some people might say, we've talked about this. we talked about this and, still, we have this issue where america used to be number one at graduating kids from high school. we are now 20 something out of 30 nations. we are just above mexico. what is talk going to do for us? >> talk is critical. just what you said, those numbers we have to keep ringing the bell every single day that we have to have some sort of solution and the way to get a solution is through dialogue. >> there's going to be a lot of that dialogue going on here this

evening at the university of chicago, where ebony magazine is sponsoring and we're going to give you a wrap up of that all later in the week. thomas, back to you. >> thank you. our special coverage of america's education crisis continues all week and culminates on sunday. you can join tamron hall along with actor and activist hill harper for a two-hour special, "making the grade." this sunday at noon right here on msnbc. this comes ahead of education nation. unprecedented nb i c news week-long event that will start september 26th. among the highlights, nbc news will host a two-day education summit on rockefeller plaza here in new york city. we take you now to live pictures outside the international space station where two astronauts are on a critical spacewalk. the duo just disconnected a troublesome ammonia coolant line that was the source of a pump problem. the pump must be replaced. the iss has been running with

and they're looking for information on who that might be. >> also this friend, dede spicher has been investigated to by police or talked to police and she refused to take a lie detector test, right? >> i'm not entirely sure about that. there are a lot of different reports coming out, virtually every day out here. i've never seen a criminal case, especially a murder case with this much information coming out before anyone's been arrested. that's possible, but i don't know that for a fact. >> but the whereabouts. has she been able to attribute her whereabouts for the day. the friend. >> investigators are saying that she has not been able to verify her whereabouts in the middle of the day. the trouble for us reporters out here, we're not actually able to interview any of these people that are the subject of these rumors. we're not able to interview terri and not able to interview her or the landscaper that alleged that terri was involved

in this murder for hire plot. we're taking, you know, we're taking the information from the leaks we get and some come from well-played sources. but we cannot confirm any of this. >> jim redden, thanks for joining us. you're from "the portland tribune." we appreciate your time today. >> sure. tiger's troubles on the course. it's apparently costing advertisers millions and he's talking about it openly. we'll bring you the details next in "the scoop." and the family that brought you chocolate covered bacon. send you right to the cardiologist. we'll bite into the doughnut burger, coming up next. before rogaine, my solution to the problem was to go ahead

and wear hats. i was always the hat guy. i can't even tell you how much it's changed my life. [ male announcer ] only rogaine is proven to regrow hair in 85% of guys. no more hats. [ male announcer ] stop losing. start gaining. gotta get that bacon! dog: yummy. crunchy. bacon. bacon. bacon. there, in that bag! mom: who wants a beggin' strip? dog: me! i'd get it myself but i don't have thumbs! yum, yum, yum... it's beggin'! hm... i love you! beggin' strips! there's no time like beggin' time! as a juicy flame-grilled cheeseburger on a delicious bun. and when you get it all at walmart's guaranteed unbeatable prices -- it somehow tastes even better. save money. live better. walmart.

an "american idol" champ is hospitalized. 2004 winner fantasia brieno is

being treated in north carolina for an apparent overdose. get the scoop now from "today" show.com's pop culture columnist, courtney hazlett. >> this is sad news. her manager says that the singer has been hospitalized, she's in stable condition, but after taking an overdose of aspirin and a sleep aid and according to the police report, they were investigating a possible suicide attempt. her manager also issued a statement saying that she was, quote, overwhelmed after being named in a legal filing of a woman who accused her of breaking up her marriage. also kind of under the same category, there are rumors there might be a sex tape with that man who the legal filing is against. so fantasia definitely having a rough time. however, her manager does say she is a fighter and this isn't the most difficult thing that she's had to get over in her lifetime and she'll be back. >> and she's just 26 years old. she's a baby. >> she's lived so much life in 26 years. not to mention everything you go

through being part of "american idol," but she's also a single mom as well. everybody, i do think, hopes for the best. >> speaking of media attention getting to somebody, tiger is not doing so well. >> he's doing horribly. and he's saying a lot of it has to do with what's taken place in the last year in his personal life on and off the course. he hit 18 over par at the british invitational. somehow he's still number one in the world rankings. i don't understand how that's possible. however, the problem is now, advertisers are really starting to take note of tiger's troubles and they're seeing ad revenues fall for the first time. it's looking like this year, ad revenue will be down 20% over the same time period last year. a lot of advertisers for these to tournaments, they need him to be there on sunday. people like nike get advertising by just having him show up on a sunday is tremendous. a lot of these advertisers were locked in in three-year deals,

so they can't necessarily get out of them easily, but there's always room open for new sponsors in these tournaments and sponsorship is down period and a lot of people are blaming it on tiger. >> something that doesn't need ratings, but they're going to get them anyway. the show, "glee". >> are they jumping the shark, that's the question wm britney spears is going to be on an episode of "glee." a lot of times you have these themed episodes that feature the music, but not always the artist. this time they're getting britney spears. the creator, brian murphy, said they're going to treat her with kid gloves. it's not going to be a mockery of her troubles in the past. it's definitely going to be a tribute to her music. rumors of a michael jackson-themed episode as well probably not going to happen because it's very difficult to get the rights to his music right now, so they can't just throw it up on television. and then also, rumors about a broadway show being worked into the new deal. "glee" everywhere you look. i'm not sure if that's a good thing. the show is fantastic in its original iteration when it's campy and unknown, and you want

it to become known because it's great television, but at some point, is it too much? >> i don't know. we'll leave it on that rhetorical question. >> deep questions. >> for the very latest in entertainment news, you can log on to scoop.todayshow.com. if you want to stick around, stick around for this. >> okay. there are some things that are considered news in this world, but there are only a few stories that make us say -- >> no way! >> yeah. all right. so what could have been a fun date at the astros game turns into a couple's therapy session after a foul ball flies into the stands. watch closely at the ball approaches the guy. he dives out of the way and lets the ball hit his girlfriend. a reporter caught up with the couple who talked about what happened. >> you're going to think this is a foreshadowing thing from the future, that he might not be by your side. >> maybe i do need to reconsider this. >> i think she needs to learn -- >> that's reading a little deeply into it. >> she needs to learn how to

catch. >> there are some people who are cut from the cloth, when you see something at you, you duck. >> the big hit at state fairs across the country this year isn't cotton candy or funnel cake, it is doughnut burgers. two krispy kreme doughnuts replace the bun, a hamburger is squished between them, and if you're thinking, who could create such a calorie-laden concoction, it's the same guy that created chocolate-covered bacon. the doughnut burger is a runaway favorite. and who wouldn't like that? look at that. >> i just lost my appetite. >> it's lunchtime here on the east coast. courtney, thank you for sticking with me through that. that does it for me this hour. i'm thomas roberts, i appreciate your time and i'll see you back here at 2:00 p.m. eastern after we have a doughnut bacon burger. we'll talk to surgeon general regina bennett. contessa brewer will top things up at the top of the hour. >> hello, is it me you're

looking for? >> well, yes, it is. >> a takeoff on the "glee" thing. courtney is like, why is she singing? >> trying to get a guest appearance. we are watching right now, thomas, reports of thousands of people flooding a facility in atlanta applying public housing. in fact, it's completely overwhelming the system. live pictures straight ahead on msnbc. plus, breaking news of a standoff in california. a man apparently refusing to come out of his house after someone tried to repossess his car. a lot more to go on this story. and we have brand-new interview with the now-famous flight attendant who flipped out, jeff rossen got a whoehold this guy. wait until you hear what he has to say. good job, keep going !

you took my eggs ! it's an "egg management fee." what does that even mean ? egg management fee. even kids know it's wrong to take other people's stuff. that's why at ally bank we offer rates among the most competitive in the country that won't get eaten away by fees. it's just the right thing to do. the man you've become. and you learned something along the way. about the world and yourself.
