7:32 am
>> reporter: good morning. prince andrew is meeting with queen elizabeth today, fifth in line to the throne. civil case in florida has prompted a response from buckingham palace itself. it is a potential scandal with the power to rock the royal family. the palace is strongly and repeatedly denying that prince andrew the queen's second son, had sexual relations with a minor. any suggestion of impropriety with underage minor sincere categorically untrue one royal statement said. the queen's formal spokesman, said andrew, who cut short a ski vacation will be furious. >> he will be angry, kicking anything that comes in sight because he knows he's innocent. >> reporter: court papers filed in florida as part of a civil case against the u.s. government over their handling of the prosecution of andrew's former friend jeffrey etsy who pled guilty to soliciting prostitution in 2008. >> this was a secret deal
7:33 am
nonprosecution agreement made between eppstein and his lawyers and the united states government. >> reporter: claimed in the document that an underage girl identified as jane dough number three was forced to have sexual relations with prince andrew. and the woman claims she even met the queen. the palace denies any record of a meeting. the court papers also accuse harvard law professor alan dershowitz as having sex with the same underage woman. he says he never even met the alleged victim. there is no court case against the prince or dershowitz but the proceedings -- >> there will be multiple investigations and multiple cases. so this is something that we need to see play out. it's going to play out over a number of years. >> reporter: now jeffrey epstein has issued a statement saying these are stale, rehashed allegation that is lawyers are now attempting to repackage and spice up adding the names of prominent people. and the alleged victim has issued her own statement saying
7:34 am
i am looking forward to vindicating my rights as an innocent victim and pursuing all available recourse. and, she says the response she's had is exactly the reason why sexual abuse victims typically remain silent. she says matt i am not going to be bullied back into silence. >> keir simmons, thank you very much. alan dershowitz as we mentioned, named in that same lawsuit, is with us now. alan good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i was reading a preinterview you did with our producer. you're not only prepared to defend yourself but you are also about to go on the offense. let's get to the basics. your response to the allegations that you had sex with an underage girl all those years ago, what is your response? >> totally false and made up. she claims i had sex with with her in jeffny epstein's island. i was on that island once with my wife, my daughter, a prominent harvard business school professor, his wife, in-laws and children. i was never out of the sight of my wife. she claims i had sex with her on
7:35 am
jeffrey epstein's ranch in new mexico. record also show i was at the ranch once with friends with my wife and my daughter for about an hour. the house wasn't complete. epstein wasn't even in it. there are no girls around. she claims i had sex with her on the airplanes. manifests of the flights will show i was never on the airplanes with her. >> did you have any contact with jane doe number three at all, alan? >> no. i don't even know who she s i've never seen her, met her. i don't know who she s her lawyers have to know this. her lawyers, former federal judge and brad edwards deliberately and willfully file this had in a pleading which they knew i had no opportunity to respond to in court without any investigation. if they had simply investigated the manifest of the airplanes, if they had checked my travel records, if they had asked me, and i could have given them the names of the people who are witnesses, they would know that the story is totally false. these lawyers engaged n in unethical behavior and should be
7:36 am
disbarred. >> these are not guys who just fell off a turnip truck, alan. >> right. >> one is a former federal judge. >> that's right. >> why would they drag you and prince andrew in a case like this if they thought they had absolutely no merit? >> because they filed a paper in which they didn't ask to try to prove it. they didn't say we allege it. we want to prove it. they just threw it in there. it's the legal equivalent of scribbling something on a toilet stall and running away. they didn't think there would be any response and they will rue the day they file this had unethical complaint. >> why would two seasoned lawyers think there would be no response if you drag alan dershowitz into a lawsuit like this? >> i'm not a party to the lawsuit. i have no opportunity to respond. they didn't ask for a hearing. the woman said she wants a full investigation. i welcome a full investigation. i'm not trying to silence her. i challenged her to repeat the statement to the press so that i can sue for defamation. she has repeated the statements about the prince.
7:37 am
she has studiously refused to reproduce the statements about me. i challenged her to file rape criminal charges against me. if she does she exposes herself to criminal prosecution. i have challenged the lawyers to repeat these statements in public so there could be a defamation hearing. they want to just throw this stink bomb and then avoid any responsibility for it. they will not get away with this. there will be legal proceedings. there will be hearings. they will be deopposeposed. i will be deposed, the records will be produced the truth will come out and it will show these two unethical lawyers should be disbarred. i am completely and absolutely innocent of all these charges. >> i get the feeling this is not the last we've heard of this. >> absolutely not. >> alan dershowitz thank you very much. >> thank you. >> i think we get the feeling of why he is a famed defense attorney. let's get another check of the weather from al. >> a ton of pacific moisture out

8:35 am
holiday period. this is a really tough time for a lot of people when it comes to their weight. did you roller coaster up a little bit? >> i actually lost. >> you lost more weight during the holidays? >> my consultant and i sat down and planned it out and we decided, you know when -- it was like this. okay. so we're going to have christmas dinner here basically have whatever you want. but it wasn't a spree. it wasn't my usual holiday, which lasts from halloween to valentine's day. >> yeah. that's a rather long period of time. >> yes! it's too long of a period. so we planned it out. >> i was looking back at our history together. we've done a lot of introduce over the years. >> i know. i know. >> a lot of them have been focused on this subject, your weight. >> i know! >> when you get to the end of a diet or plan like this when you've lost 50 pounds do you always think in your mind i will keep it off? >> no. before i've had more of a view of get to the goal. have the goal. and this time i thought, okay. what is the goal and what is the
8:36 am
time span of the goal? so i really looked at it as this is my life and until i'm dead basically, i am going to keep this weight instead of, oorks i lost 50 pounds and now i can do whatever i want. i don't have that anymore. >> you are sure you can maintain this weight this time. what i'm asking is did you always have that feeling? >> i didn't always have that feeling. i would set myself a goal this time it's different. my goal is to keep this and maintain this throughout my life especially as an actress. you know people are in different lines of work but actresses just need to keep themselves -- i'm actually more responsible than i was before. >> i thought about that when i was looking at the notes for you last night. so many of our interviews have dealt with weight. do you ever worry that it started to overshadow your work as an actress, that this is defining you in some way?
8:37 am
>> that might abe good thing, you know. >> no no i like you as an actress. i really do. >> i even thought that. i thought i really want to do more acting and more movies and i want to do -- how do i like to see myself on film? it's important for everyone to decide how they want to see themselves. i like to see myself looking more svelte. that's just the truth of it. >> this is more the ideal you? >> yes. how the hell does someone keep gaining weight? that's the screwed up part of me. but i feel like i've conquered that now. you know it takes me -- i'm sort of hardheaded. when i used to do drugs, took me a while to quit quit quit. and then it was done. so i feel like that's occurred for me. >> now that you've reached and exceeded your resolution for 2014 -- >> yeah. >> -- did you make a new year's resolution for 2015? >> well i have a lot of resolution. >> any that you can share with us? >> yeah. well i would like to hook it up. what? >> are there any that you can

8:48 am
>> they've written all your apology s apologies for you. >> i'm nonapologetic. >> let me say it straight out. you have been on the worst dressed list a few times. >> many times. i used to laminate them. i have gone from the worst dressed and best droes dresed and everything in between, on the other side of the microphone walking the red carpet at the emmys, grams and i've also taken hits. this is all pomp and circumstance. it's ridiculousness. if you can't make fun of the red carpet what can you make fun of? >> i was thinking about it. remember when celebrities took big risks like duck dress? do you remember that? there it is. you never see stuff like that anymore. >> love it. love it love it! there's a new eara. we could not have those cher bob mackie moments if everyone played it so safe. i would like to encourage the gentlemen and ladies to not play it so safe. i would think this could be the year people could take risks and i like it. >> you're down to critiquing their clutch.

season 14 of "the apprentice" kicked off last night. one has already been sent home. keisha knight pulliam was kicked out of the board room last night and made it to studio 1a just like that. nice to have you here. she's walking in. she looks fabulous. i'll give her that. she came in last night. she was the first to go. she took a big risk i would say, on the show last night. she volunteered to be project manager. unfortunately, that was a risk that didn't exactly pay off. so keisha as you walk in here good morning. >> hello. good morning. >> good to see you. >> it's a pleasure. >> thanks for being here. have a seat. i was just talking about your big risk. you decide i'll be the project manager on this first task. >> yes. >> i guess it's nothing ventured nothing gained? >> absolutely. at the end of the day, no one really wanted to step up and do it. i figured why not? i'm very passionate about my nonprofit and the opportunity to raise that amount of money for
8:54 am
my nonprofit, i was like you know no risk no reward. >> and the task was -- actually it had two tasks to it. you had to create a pie people would want to buy and also raise funds. >> wre. >> fund-raising aspect didn't go as well for you. >> there's a lot you don't see in the editing process. the amount of time we had to get the checks here they had to be in secure edd funds. so many variables, i had checks that simply didn't make it. if they didn't make it by the end and someone didn't bring it in then they didn't count. however, i thought it was interesting that even though i know as a project manager -- for me i was looking at the project and success overall, there were two people who raised zero dollars and two other people who raised less than i did. i get it. at the end of the day, i have to be accountable but -- >> fair or unfair the criticism was you didn't reach out to bill cosby. of course we all know you as rudy huxtable that you didn't reach out to someone you know very well bill cosby, and ask
8:55 am
him for funds. >> i thought that was interesting. i know "the cosby show" is in reruns and everyone is thinking we're this family that has dinner every friday night. i hadn't spoken to mr. cosby and i felt it would be tactless kind of rude to call someone and say, so, let me have some money right now. with the other checks i had lined up i didn't feel i needed to make that phone call. >> the other strange part as you well know now mr. cosby is facing all manner of allegations. this was taped back in march, this episode. >> absolutely. >> it didn't come up then. but you're here. i have to ask you, what do you make of those allegations, people coming out and saying this happened to them? somebody that was such a beloved character for so many years. >> what i can say is this. i wasn't there. no one was there except the two people to know exactly what happened. all i can speak to is the man that i know and that i love. the fact that he has been such an example. you can't take away from the great that he has done. you know the millions and
8:56 am
millions of dollars that he has given back to colleges and education. and just what he did with the cosby show and how groundbreaking that was. >> were you shocked by the allegations? >> ultimately they're just that allegations. and, you know it's very much been played out in the court of public opinion. but, you know we're still in america where ultimately you're innocent till proven guilty and, you know i wasn't there. that's just not the man i know. so i can't speak to it. >> good morning i'm tracy davidson. >> it is cold and windy. we're getting wind gusts of 40 miles per hour in the region. this is the ju from center city. it is now down to 30 in
8:57 am
philadelphia and it is 33 in potspot pottstown. >> we're looking at new video of eric frien. he was handcuffed. his preliminary hearing will begin in just a few minutes. he was on the run for 48 days before he was captured in october. stay with us as we continue to cover his hearing. we'll bring you updates on the website and on air. and the former rebel casino was purchased at an auction. but how much should he pay for
