>> my trainer is here. >> very cute. >> it's so exciting. his name is chris. he's from australia. >> is hoda good when she comes in in the morning? >> yes. she has to be. we train at 5:30 in the morning. >> he's going to show the workout he has me do. >> you said you hated it. >> no, i said i'm not that good at it. which is different. >> chris is going to show us some exercises. >> look at those tats. >> he's got a few. if you missed the big "friends" reunion last night, we have all the highlights. plus some celebrity break-ups to tell you about. i was surprised by this in today's buzz. >> now, last year it was all about the whip and the nae-nae, so there's a new dance craze called the dab. lean and dab, lean and dab. >> i never learned the nae-nae.

these guys have been here since 6:00 in the morning, by the way. they said it was easy. >> okay. now, you said a nice weekend with your mom. i love when you take your little trips together. >> we did. we went to florida. and we just -- we just got some rays. my mom was just like -- she's on the go. oh, my god, we saw mary higgins clark in the lobby. >> she's everywhere. >> every time we saw her, i said, that's mary higgins clark, and she said, a celebrity. so we snuck up to her. she said she wants to come back on the show. >> it seems like she's here every week with a new book. i love her to pieces. >> she said she's on too much. >> she's not on too much. >> that's what we said. >> the other day it was love your pet day and in my case it was love your pets. i put them on the sofa. they are fame hogs. >> i can't believe they just mug like that. >> they immediately look at the camera. >> do they ever get muddy and run on your furniture? >> yeah, but we try to get rid of it as soon as possible.

there's lots of good stuff today -- national margarita day. how do you like yours, hoda? >> i like mine on the rocks. with just tequila and nothing else. just tequila. >> that's really good. >> that's like one of those skinny ones. >> why do we have a margarita cupcake, you might add? >> they're tequila soaked. shall we try it? >> i don't eat sweets, so you tell me if you like it. >> i'm not supposed to be eating sweets. >> your trainer is watching you. your trainer is watching you, hoda. >> ooh, what's inside? >> maybe something margaritay. >> lime. just lime. >> you're going to pay for that. >> you know what i've learned that i don't like. when it says lime curd is in it. what is curd? >> by the way, it's delicious.

>> anyway, it's created by pastry chef and owner of afa's cupcakes, michelle spell. each cupcake is $3.25 and worth it. >> but how many calories? >> they don't tell you that. >> all right. so kanye has been making an awful lot of news lately. >> not for good reasons. >> not for good reasons, but if showing signs of how tiring fatherhood can be is in this next picture, he's exhausted. they were out shopping, he and kim and the babies. is that north? >> that's north. north is long. >> she's adorable. >> she's tall. >> they were out with chrissy teigen and john legend. in a baby store. >> these guys don't do that, do they? >> apparently they do. she sent that out. she said it would be her father's birthday today had he not passed away. >> we also have a picture for the very first time, a photo of their other child, brand new baby -- not brand new, born in december. >> beautiful. >> oh! >> really beautiful. all babies are beautiful,

>> i couldn't remember if saint was already born. i keep forgetting. there are so many people pregnant and having babies. chrissy teigen is pregnant. >> yeah, and her baby is due this spring. >> she stepped in it. >> she had the right to say what -- look how beautiful she looks. she's gorgeous. >> here's what happened. chrissy teigen was tweeting that she was going to have a night nurse come and help her when the baby is born. >> she's a first-time mother, okay. >> so twitter went cray like twitter does. they were saying it's part-time parenting, who do you think you are, all those things. so she responded, because chrissy teigen does not mince words. she says a night nurse doesn't replace you waking and feeding at night. you're up with them, they're helpers and teachers. she said i'm so used to sharing our life that i forget how protective i'll have to be soon. constant judgment. >> nor should she have to but it

it's the world we live in. it blows my mind that people think that their opinion is going to matter to you. she knows whose opinions matter so don't even read this stuff. >> she says whatever she wants on twitter. a couple of times she tweeted me something really crazy and vulgar and wild and i thought that was an imposter. soy followed her and unfollowed her, and then i refollowed her because -- >> it was her. >> yeah. she goes after people who say negative things about her. good for her. >> why give them any power? i would just ignore them. just ignore them. or pray for them, do something, but don't give them the power thinking that their opinion matters to you. >> does it ever matter when you read things? >> if somebody has misunderstood my intention about something, then i respond to it. but somebody just giving me their opinion on something and they don't even know me -- >> yes. >> no. no, no, no. don't give them power. right? >> right, chris? chris says yes.

he can say whatever he wants. >> all right, here we go. this doesn't make sense to me. >> but apparently there's a right way to write an e-mail. >> picture this, you're going to ask your friend to go to dinner and you want to sound like a normal human being, not overeager, not crazy. >> what kind of a friend are we talking about? >> a friend. >> why would you be overeager to ask a friend to have dinner? >> can you go, do you want to go to lunch, what time do you want to go? >> you know what i do to you? lamb chop, question mark. that's what i do to you. >> somebody had a lot of time and analyzed 5.3 million e-mails. >> an e-mail efficiency service. >> they determined these are the phrasings. so you guys choose and decide which e-mail is the best way to ask someone to dinner. here's number one. >> hey, i was thinking about you earlier. do you wanna get pizza? >> number two.

do you want to get pizza? and this is hoda's. >> hey, it would be absolutely wonderful to see you. do you want to get pizza? i'm so excited. so i would say 1. number one, life is short. hungry? pizza? meet me. that's it. you know. which one do you want? >> i don't know why i think it's so funny. there's nothing really funny about it but it's hysterical. i've lost it. i think i would go -- i would send number three, i'm so excited but i would hate to receive that one. i would say oh, my god, i can't wait, let's go get pizza. i think i would go with number two. because it's kind of in between. >> hey, i'd definitely like to get together next week. do you want to get pizza? i think that's ridiculous. if it's a good friend, they know you want to get together. or you wouldn't be saying, let's have lunch, or dinner. experts, people, keep those things on when you say the words. say you want to aim for that

>> what does that mean? >> not too positive, not too negative, not too in your face. what kind of friends do they have? >> i don't know that's funny. >> what kind of friends do they have? first of all, don't do e-mail. that's an even better thing. hoda, i'm hungry. let's go eat. >> you'd say yes and that would be the end of it. so gwen stefani and blake shelton are apparently in love. apparently. >> why do you have to say it with such disdain and disgust? >> they're always wrapped up with each other. >> and you did wonder if it was a bouncy thing from their oar -- other relationships or if it was promotion for "the voice." >> they say if you fall in love right away it's not that great long time. i'm not saying it's not going to last, but -- >> you sure as heck hope it doesn't. let's be honest. >> so i guess blake -- gwen stefani couldn't attend and so she brought her iphone and was

>> what? she had somebody that was there facebook face timing with him. >> the man does 300 gigs a year. of course she can't be at every one of them. it's not like she's missing his bar mitzvah or something. if you're in love with a lawyer, do you go and hear all his closing arguments? >> no. you're right, you don't. but here's the thing about facetiming. i was telling you, i went to the beach and there were four girls sitting at a table and their fifth friend couldn't come to the beach, so she was present everywhere. hey, look, we're having blueberry pancakes. look at that. and for some reason watching them pass the phone around, look at the sunrise. >> and it gets elevated and elevated. >> was there alcohol involved at breakfast? >> no. there should have been. should have been. oh, that's good. >> it bugs you. >> i don't know why. and i think if there was another person sitting there, who cares. hey, look at the sunrise. but there was something about the phone. give it to me and pass it over here and look what i'm wearing.

little annoying, right? >> let me ask you this, did they know you were sitting there next to them? now you outed all of them and they probably were fans of yours before and not now. you've got to think these things through. >> anyhoo, this is kind of cute. so this little girl saved up all of her money because she wanted to buy her brother a hamster. >> that is so sweet. she's the younger sister, right? >> she's the younger sister. look at this moment that she decided to break the piggy bank. take a look at her brother's reaction. >> i bought you a hamster. i paid for it. why are you crying? why are you crying? >> i think he's happy. >> are you happy crying? oh. >> how does it end?

oh, that is the sweetest thing. >> can i tell you one quick teeny story? >> apparently not. >> when i graduated -- when i graduated from college and i was looking for a job and i needed a car, my brother worked at popeye's fried chicken. he worked there every day that summer and i needed a $1,000 down payment to get a car because i didn't have a car to go to work and he wrote his whole check to me. i'll never forget. that's what i was thinking about when i was watching those kids. he worked every day that summer and he gave me the check. >> ooh. >> how do we do it day after day? >> all right, favorite things and they might become yours too. actually i'm wearing it under my dress. >> of course you are, you little -- >> and why taylor swift was hearing wedding bells this weekend. we'll get you caught up on the rest of the hollywood scoop after this. youreart loves omega-3s. but there's a difference between the omega-3s in fish oil

indicates to the server that we are ready to order. now, in this case we just sat down so clearly he came over far too soon. >> which is typical of alex. now the look. >> we haven't seen each other in a while. we'll be talking more than looking. >> that's right. but this is a restaurant, not a lounge. so 10, 15 minutes is the maximum amount of time before you're looking at that menu ready to order. be ready with a drink order when he comes over. >> hoda is ready for the drink order. >> the drink order is already here. sometimes you come up and it's cold outside and you bring all your stuff with you. >> or are trying to save a little extra money not having to check it. >> so you plop things over the chair. they ask you at the beginning can i take your coat? i always like mine. because it's chilly, i want to keep it. >> or you come in and you're still cold. >> so is that a no-no. >> this is known as winter spreading where your coats and gloves and scarves are taking up more seats than you are. if the restaurant has a coat check and it's a large item,

this clutters up the dining room and it's a safety hazard, the server could trip over it. keep everything self-contained on your person. so on the back of your chair, not other chairs where people might need to sit there. >> our food is arrived and we ordered chicken. >> i made the decision for you. >> thank you. >> you know him really well. >> you don't want to drop it. >> thank you. >> let me know if there's anything wrong. >> all right. thank you very, very much. then we say grace and check in. oh, excuse me, oh, it's bloody. >> so it's not cooked to your liking. >> no. >> what do you do? >> excuse me, please, i'm so sorry, do you see that, i'm just a little concerned. >> it looks good to me.

>> it looks good to me. >> all right, you get salmonella. let me know how you're feeling. >> so you handled that beautifully. you did exactly right. upon -- i think he earned what comment. >> wishing salmonella on him? >> i think he earned that comment for sure. >> you said it politely. you didn't put it on the waiter. the waiter did his job in theory so sending it back -- >> never take it out on the waiter. >> never take it out on the waiter. >> i remember one time someone brought you chicken and you ordered salmon. you said that looks mouth watering but i actually ordered salmon. and the woman was smiling when it was over. >> the tone is so important. >> okay. what happens now? >> now we say thank you, thomas farley. >> dessert. >> oh, that's right. >> what if you're the only person who wants it? >> it would have been hoda. >> it would have been me. >> don't worry, alex, i'll get it to her. >> here's the issue with ordering a dessert and this is often the case with an appetizer

you may be the only one that wants to order dessert. maybe everybody else is just being a little bit shy. if it seems like other people need to get on their way, you're not going to say, yes, i'd like dessert or i'd like coffee. if it seems other people are on diets, order one for the table and maybe split it. appetizer and everybody else orders a full meal, how do you divvy it up so it's fair? >> if you're dining with somebody on a regular basis, that's going to happen. you're going to get short-changed one time, somebody else another time. if there's a vast disparity, you've ordered one cocktail and everybody else ordered ten? have a buddy step in for you and say hoda only had one cocktail, why don't we cover her. >> as we say good-bye, if the service is terrible. >> like it was. >> do you still tip alex? >> because we love him. >> here's what we want to do. we're not going to take it out at the end of the meal. we're going to step in the moment it happens by speaking

>> bye. >> don't scrimp at the end. that's the wrong way to go. >> thank you very much, thomas. always a pleasure to have you. the workout that keeps hoda woman looking at toned and fabulous as she is from her personal trainer. >> we're going to get moving with ilovememphis doing the hottest new dance craze called the lean and dab. >> i'm going to lean into this chicken and dab my mouth. >> of course you are. p when it's your job to protect the world's greatest nation, it's your responsibility r to solve the world's greatest challenges. p this is why we search for the best and brightest. r why we train for every eventuality v on land and water, t in the air, space and even cyberspace. p we operate in a complex world with one simple mission. win. p seems like we've hit a road block. that reminds me... ranyone have occasional constipation, diarrhea... ...gas, bloating? yes!

if you ever wish you could have hoda's toned arms and lean legs, push your coffee table out of the way and grab a water we're going to show you how she stays in shape. >> i want to point out i have never had a personal trainer in my life. i had never had one.

the gym named darcy said you've divot to meet this guy named chris finn from equinox. okay. and i started working muscles i didn't even know existed. >> and you thought you were in pretty good shape because you work out all the time and you said he said this. >> what? >> i wasn't in shape. i really wasn't. chris is here because he's going to teach us. where are you from? >> sydney, australia. >> you just like to hear him talk. i've been living in new york about 15 months. >> so he's going to work three body parts of yours, kath. >> mine? three out of the 80 that need help. just looking at me, what needs the most help? >> nothing. but we're going to pick the three main ones that pretty much everybody at home wants to work on. booty, arms, and abs.
