>> oh. >> you know, it's -- it's fun to play around about it, but there's something behind it. this is a woman we talked about yesterday does not need any more attention. you know? she gets all the attention. >> right. >> so you wonder what her motivation of it was. >> yeah. >> and i'd love her to comment on it. i wonder if she ever will. >> she knew she would get a lot of press on the red carpet. >> you expect that on the red carpet. >> she did it on stage. >> that was the weird part because that was not a natural stance in front of a podium. >> do you think it was a gag with brad or something? >> that's what i'm sort of wondering, because there's some talk about the fact that they had several dresses to choose from but they were picking, you know, brad's mom and different people all picking the dress she would ultimately wear. she knew she'd look fabulous in whatever she wore. maybe there was talk at that time like, you have to show the leg. maybe there was a secret message or something, who knows. it doesn't make sense otherwise. >> i'm with you. if you were watching "the voice" last night, and i know a lot of you were. >> hoda was. >> at the end, there was a girl

named sara hill. and christina aguilera had one last person to choose on her team. she heard this girl singing and loved her. that wasn't what made the story cool. at the end, imagine being sara hill because christina aguilera decides she's going to get up on stage with this girl and sing a duet. picture yourself being this young girl on stage singing a duet with christina. watch. >> i just wanted to grab a mike and get up there and sing it with you. ♪ i'm going down and you ain't around baby ♪ ♪ turned my whole world upside down yeah ♪ ♪ come on, sara >> come on. wow. >> what is better than seeing sara hill right there. >> how exciting for her. that is great.

>> she's a 24-year-old. i think she works in a hotel or something in atlanta. >> yeah. >> i love those back stories. in a back room like totally -- >> freaking out. precious. >> we're going to do our own "voice" coming up. >> are we doing it again? did they save our chairs? >> i hope so. >> they save everything around here. jerry's got them stuffed in his garage at home. >> a lot of you guys maybe you were watching betheny's show. her show is called "betheny ever after." crazy antics on the show. there's almost nothing we can show, but all right. >> i need a love pat. every time i see you, i can't get it out. >> look at you. go. >> i can't get it out. >> you go. go. you look great. >> i do? >> oh, my god. >> it's just [ bleep ]. >> hey, thanks for the clip.

>> that's what you turn into after you leave me here? on this wonderful, i love you -- >> la, la, la, la. >> yes. and then you go with her and you feel like [ bleep ]? oh, my gosh, hoda. oh, man. >> that is not great. >> your mother just called. >> i know. >> she did not raise you like this. >> she did not, and i rarely curse. >> but sometimes it's not a person's fault because sometimes -- can you give me a beep? [ bleep ] happens. and sometimes it happens [ bleep ] in ways you cannot even imagine. tell the story, hoda. >> all right. so there was a couple that was sitting out in their backyard on long island. >> minding their own business. on a beautiful february evening, which we've had lately. >> they just happen to live in the line where the planes fly over to jfk. sometimes planes fly over. while they're out there, a beautiful day, and suddenly they

noticed some black oily stuff all over their deck. and they were, like, boy, what is that? and then some black oily stuff fell from the sky and hit the woman, the wife. >> on her face. >> and the black oily stuff -- >> it's a bird, it's a plane -- no, it's [ bleep ]! >> it fell from the plane. and they say sometimes they do some chemical stuff to the [ bleep ]. and then they drop it from the plane and that's what happens. >> hadn't quite made it to the atlantic ocean yet. still over long island. >> oh, my gosh. it was awful. >> i say lawsuit. >> well, you know what, here's another guy who stepped in some [ bleep ]. so angela merkel, the chancellor of germany -- >> germany. germany. angela from germany. yeah. go ahead. >> she was at an ash wednesday dinner. >> oh, i didn't know it was a religious --

>> anyway, before we show the tape, there is a waiter who's got five beers on his tray and he's trying to serve angela merkel her beer, and then something very unfortunate happens. >> okay. here. look again. look how calm she is. here he comes. and down the back. >> oh, my god. >> he claims -- we want to watch closely. he claims someone bumped him. i don't see a bump. >> no, you don't. there's no bump. >> he doesn't seem particularly concerned, either. >> no. barely. >> no. >> look at her. >> you know what she's thinking? blank happens. >> she stood up and gave a toast. this guy -- >> with what? it was all over her head and her back. >> this guy claims there was another waitress that was supposed to serve angela merkel but she got nervous and so he took over. >> that man to the rescue. oh, my gosh. >> terrible.

that was awful. >> but you learn -- it's like ryan seacrest when all that happened with the dictator the other day. you see what a person is made of. in that instant when, you know, nothing's planned, it's all spontaneous and you see the person's reaction. i think she handled it as if it was another day in germany. happens all the time. >> so you've been in a restaurant before. i've seen a waiter accidentally drop something on someone and the person throws a fit. you feel terrible. i'm much more on the side of the waiter. >> nobody except for the dictator plans on something like that. >> right. >> what is the fallout from that? a lot of people are not too pleased with him. >> they were saying that technically, i guess, legally you could file some kind of a lawsuit because he invaded personal space and -- >> and did damage to his personal property. >> you know he's not going to do that, and this guy did it for attention. i'm not sure it was the kind of attention even he wanted.

>> people in our meeting today were saying, you know, that they used to like him. and -- or didn't really feel one way or the other. but this made them not like him and not -- on purpose not want to see his movies. >> it will be interesting to see. we ore going to tell you if you live in one of the happiest states the in the country. >> yes. >> one of those surveys where they judge your health and work environment, all that sort of stuff. anyway, the number five happiest state in the country is alaska. >> betcha don't know it. >> number four is utah. number three is minnesota. two, north dakota. and the happiest state in the country, hello, is hawaii. >> yeah. they all have something in common, which is, you know -- four of them are called weather places, which is interesting. i think space. maybe not honolulu but other parts of the island. there's spaciousness and openness about it. >> i thought the warmer states would be in there.

loss of hair, basically. >> exactly. >> and that was a terrify thing for your mother at first. >> right. >> at first she assumed the worst. >> i started to lose my hair at about 2 years old. from 2 to 4 i was bald like i am now. 4 years old, i started to regrow my hair. my mom was, like, yeah. i was about to start preschool. from ages 4 to 8, i had some hair. i would have a spot maybe in the back. but so my other hair would kind of cover that. around 8 years old, my hair came out again for a second time. my mom kind of panicked and was, like, my gosh, what's happening. she's gring to be made fun of. this is horrible. >> that was her biggest concern. >> right. and i'm an only child, so i mean, it's her only, you know, baby. >> you were wearing wigs far a while. then you decided enough already with that. >> right. >> you were 8 -- look how darling. you have something so many kids don't have at that age. that's confidence. >> you walked in that classroom. how did you do that? >> i don't know.

i was 8 years old and in third grade and i said, mom, i'm going to school today without my wig. she was, like, what? put that wig back on. >> you were a tomboy. it was always in your way. >> exactly. so, you know, i felt like this is exactly what i said, i felt like i was hiding myself from others. i went to school that day. kids were like didn't you have hair yesterday? i was, like, yeah. they were, like, cool. nothing really happened. most people with alopecia get bullied. i was fortunate never to get bullied. i think it was because i was so confident with myself. >> a lot of kids get bullied, but when you walk in the room -- >> you're okay with yourself. >> exactly. >> you help other kids. >> i go to schools. i'm a motivational speaker. i basically share my message. at first, you know, i didn't think i had a message. i just thought i was, you know, this kid just being who she was, you know, what i am, bald.

obviously. visually, that's how i am. so i just tell kids, you know, it's okay to be yourself. it truly is. everyone's unique in their own way and beautiful. >> you say this has been a blessing in your life. >> exactly. with alopecia, it's normally something that causes people to be depressed and devastated and tormented in life. i feel like it's a blessing for me. it's opened so many amazing opportunities. i've won awards. i'm here with you guys. >> it doesn't get better than this. sadly, this is it. >> if i had hair, i mean, i wouldn't be here today. >> you're adorable. >> thank you. >> and a lovely book. >> terrific book. >> thanks for coming to see us. >> thank you so much. >> still to come, hoda gets up close and personal with a snake. and a scorpion. >> you, too. >> and that's a sloth apparently. isn't it adorable? >> not really. ♪ februany any 5 ♪ $5 ♪ $5 footlong ♪ februany any 5
