they have to hit a certain body mass index or they can't model. it should be on their health, not their weight. we'll look at that. there's the issue of doctors asking out their patients online. is this okay, ever, in any scenario? we'll see what our experts think about it. dr. nancy, have you done that? >> no. >> no, she hasn't. >> it's not going to end well, i can tell. >> okay, then. how many people have debit cards? they have made shopping and going online convenient. there are risks. there are cases where it could be better to use a credit card. we have pros and cons to make the right choice. we are going to try to put a smile on your face. jill martin has great signs from

march in new york city wednesday night to call for the arrest of george zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who killed 17-year-old trayvon martin in self-defense. in florida where martin was shot, the city commissioners voted no confidence in the police chief for his handling of the shooting. mitt romney is in damage control mode after a top adviser compared his campaign to an etch a sketch. rivals bounced on the gaffe as evidence that romney easily changes his position. romney later explained that the profile of a campaign changes but the issues he's running on will not. police say a missing california teen's cell phone and computer have not provided clues to her disappearance. the 15-year-old had not been seen since last friday morning. her phone was found saturday night along the road about a mile from her home. police say sierra's father, who

walked her chics across pennsylvania avenue. mother duck waddled ahead leaving the chicks behind. there were several members of the secrete service there to scoop them up and send them on their way safely. let's go back to al with a check of your weather. good thing secret service is there. >> they did not get wrestled to the ground. that's nice. let's see what we have for you. more severe weather from mobile to huntsville. wind gusts, possibility of tornadoes. a lot of rain, the heavy rain is streaming around the low pressure spinning around oklahoma. it's going to bring anywhere from two to three inches of rain, some areas up to five inches of rain. we have record setting heat continuing in the northeast. record highs in the northeast, rain in the pacific northwest with mountain snow, plenty of sunshine to the southwest. record highs in the central and northern plains as well.

>> anything will make him feel good. >> let's start in israel. i want to start with donny. israel banned underweight models from modelling. they are asking for the models to supply a report that they are not being malnourished. >> bmi index or something. >> yeah, certain bmi. as an ad guy does that make you bristle? >> number one, the government gets involved and puts warnings on cigarette labels because we know it's physically harmful to kids. we have to stop blaming the media. i'm raising daughters. at the end of the day, i have the ability to teach her, as far as her own self-image versus what's in a magazine. we are pointing a finger at the media. we have more control. >> wait, the media is incredibly powerful. >> not more than parents. >> let me say, one of the real

issues is that we do so much photo shopping that even the models themselves don't look like what we present. when a young girl sees that look, you think you are going to imlate it. no human does. it's fake. >> i didn't see a lot of fat israelis. they walk. they have a mediterranean diet. i was stunned at how healthy this population is. >> the critics say don't focus on weight or bmi, focus on the model's health. some are naturally very thin. >> they are. it goes hand in hand. >> i can tell you, they listed naomi campbell as a woman that would be under the correct bmi. i have seen her. there's nothing rail thin about her. she is beautiful. >> as a man and father, men

don't like skeiny. i don't know why they are doing that. >> why? because fabric braps a certain way. it's for the runway. >> would you like to see something like this come to the u.s.? a regulation like this? >> i wouldn't have a problem. >> i don't want more laws and regulation, i want more focus on health. let's move on. the situation a star of "jersey shore" is dealing with substance abuse problems. i want to set the record straight, i have voluntarily taken steps to get treatment for this problem. i have been recooperating. i appreciate my fan support and love you guys. >> is that popular to go prescription medication? it sounds easier than saying i'm a crack head or i shoot heroin. not to suggest they are doing it but the drugs have the same effect on your body. >> does reality tv does this?

he became famous through reality tv. >> i snicker when you say celebrity. they are driven to overnight celebrity. we recognize it and adore it. they have the train wreck then they get through and say i'm going through rehab and we applaud them. i'm tired of the whole cycle. >> today's reality stars are going to be last generations child stars. we inject them with heroin, they go from nobody to the world around them. the real tragedy is going to be when the parade passes. this is the beginning of it. they will have to go back to work. >> do you think it self-selects for people who are troubled? >> very much so. you look for the car that already has the problems. then you really just want to exploit them. >> the reason we like it, we like to watch the train wreck because it makes us feel better

about our own lives. >> doctors dating patients. nancy, we are looking at you. researchers suggest it's not that uncommon for doctors to try to date patients online. 69% have been involved in inappropriate communications with patients. nancy, as our doctor, is there any scenario where it is okay for a doctor to date a patient? >> no. it crosses every line. if you want to date someone or you meet them online, you must discontinue your doctor/patient relationship. it crosses every ethical and moral boundary. it's like a therapist sleeping with a patient. no, no, no, no, no. stop being the doctor. >> there's a difference between a psychologist. >> what if i went to a back doctor, a nice, single woman and we hit it off. i said to her, hey, i would love to take you out to dinner. >> she can meet you for dinner

as soon as she says i will no long longer be your doctor. >> that's ridiculous. >> the doctor/patient relationship is where you have me in a vulnerable position. you are talking to me about my health. listen to me. understand that when you sit down in that relationship, this person is authority. this doctor, male or female, you are the one who will give me advice on what happens. >> let's stop having a complex. it's like saying i can't make my own decision when a doctor tells me a type of prescription. the workplace is the most natural -- i'm not talking a psychotherapist. it's a difference situation. >> why? no! >> there's a mental thing at play. i go to a podiatrist and they are taking a bunion off my foot and i can't ask her out? when you sent me a text and called me big daddy, what's that about? >> you shouldn't have fired me.

>> we don't work for you. >> let me ask you this, nancy. in a large majority of cases, the punishment was serious, including revoking medical license. >> it's a state-by-state funding. there's a strong connection and strong base for the doctor/patient relationship. once that power tips and becomes romantic in any way, you can continue the relationship. you have to find another doctor. >> stop putting them up here. it's part of the problem of doctors in general. >> it's creepy, creepy, creepy. >> let's make sure everyone understands what your position is. if they meet in a medical office and there's a spark and the doctor tries to reach out, is it okay if they get rid of the doctor/patient relationship? >> doctors are sending things to

patients. you know when it turns. when it does, you stop it or you acknowledge it and move forward. i have seen these things before. they are creepy. >> a dermatologist is removing a mole and it's inappropriate? >> if you are looking for a dollar or a million dollars -- whether it's a bunion or skin or a therapist. the doctor/patient relationship trumps. >> if you are my doctor, i should not be dating you. >> just a story, i happen to know a woman who had major brain surgery. they got married and it's a wonderful story. he's an amazing surgery. >> he couldn't operate on her, again. >> let's go to sports. tim tebow trade. what do we think. tebow coming to new york city. is it a culture clash? >> i hope he can leave the

locker room. i'm a new york sports fan. the man is god centered. >> to leave the locker room leaves the problem. they have a franchise quarterback. they signed him for five years for $60 million. you are setting up an immediate situation. >> if you look at peyton manning moving, there's a ripple effect of who is getting screwed. the colts never had a back-up plan. the jets now have two good people. the question is, should peyton manning be playing football and is he putting himself at risk. >> it's nice to see you talking sports. i didn't know you had that. thanks so much. coming up next, think before you swipe. we're going to have the bottom line on debit cards. then from ray-bans to other things we have the sign for
