lifesavers. >> i couldn't believe it. >> can i say something else? >> yes, say it. it's okay. >> i'm on a cleanse which ain't that fun. i'm on a cleanse, i look at my juice. >> she drinks the juice in the morning. >> guess how many calories are in my juice. call it out. >> just for breakfast. >> 120, 150. say it. >> 690. >> so we had similar breakfasts, okay? but here's the thing. jo anne -- can we play -- >> four. >> no, it isn't. i googled it. why are you listening to zach? >> wait. we googled it. are these the big ones? 60 calories. serving size is four. wait, you know what, maybe my

>> how many calories are in one? so 15? >> 15 in one. >> that's not bad. >> drop the mike, boom. but tomorrow let's play a game where we have different foods and let's guess the calories. because i think that's fun. i don't think people really know how many calories are in -- >> you're in. >> today is a cleanse but i can eat this. >> national pancake day. >> oh, yeah, baby. >> i like syrup. >> this is probably 690 calories, the same calories as my juice. >> just put some chips on there. >> here's the point of this. ihop is giving away free pancakes from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. at participating stores. invite a guest, you get to enjoy a short stack of buttermilk pancakes for free. >> for free. they ask that you leave a donation behind to benefit children's miracle network. 11 years of doing that and they've raised 20 million bones. >> that's awesome.

nudes. then there's more. >> then she wrote. >> hey, bette midler i didn't want to bring up how you sent me a gift trying to be a fake friend come -- and then come at >> we were wondering what the deja vu meant. had they ever been in a feud or maybe she doesn't know what deja vu means. not to attack her. i didn't mean -- i don't want to be in a feud. i've never been in a feud. >> kim k. at jenna bush hager. >> no, no, i don't want to get in a feud. kim k., please, i'll lose! >> take a bite. eating when you're stressed helps. later she said she posted that picture as motivation and she

made her feel thinner. >> well, it was when she was 25 pounds thinner. she looked good. i wouldn't want to get in a feud with kim k. or bette midler. she was fierce in "beaches." right? >> bette midler is one of my favorites. she was radical before anyone was. she is a talent. >> speaking of talent. >> guess who's going on tour? >> dolly parton. >> her first tour in 25 years, also going to release a new album of her greatest hits, she's going to tour through 60 cities. we are going. >> yes! >> i don't care where she's playing, we are gonna go. she's 70 years old. so many great songs. but this song is called "you can't make old friends." you can't make old friends >> isn't that beautiful? kenny and dolly. one more time. >> why, just because i started talking. you don't care about my favorite song but it's "joleen."

i love dolly parton that much. >> that's a beautiful song. you sang okay. that sounded pretty good what you were just going, that little singing, that little bit. >> i sang with kenny rogers "islands in the stream." karaoke. he's the only shoot where i brought mila to the shoot. >> did she love him? >> she was only a baby, but yes, so cute. >> we've been wondering what happened in "the bachelor" and amanda is here. >> girls tell all. very exciting. 26 girls get to come in, they confront the bachelor and also show. on the show is this one. she's the one that on all of our dates with ben she kept saying, i'm not crazy, i'm not crazy. never say that. night. take a look at what happened. >> the faces i made on tv, i'm faces.

>> the expressions and the word crazy. >> i don't use the word crazy. >> you are crazy, crazy beautiful. i don't want to seem crazy myself, but i have to show you this one thing. >> i need to see the tattoo. >> oh my god. >> we need better security. >> so, soul mate or should she run away? >> run. >> that was horrifying. that was totally -- >> that's why i think chris said, we need better security. because that guy got into the taping. hopefully it's not real. >> i know this is a show where people like to be seen and known. but isn't that like the epitome. now there's a guy in the audience who's tattooing? >> let's continue. >> olivia was a villain on the show. we talked about her tons.

amanda because she called amanda a teen mom, which is not a compliment and said that men should run away from her because she's got two kids. amanda confronted her about that last night. let's take a look at her apology. >> being a mom is being i'm so proud of. my kids are my life. like, being a mom is my jam. i just think that the fact that you just felt so strongly that guys should be running the other way, a lot of people would be very, very offended by that. >> if there was a guide book on like how to do this show right and make 28 women happy, like i would have read it and maybe i would have done better. but there's no way of knowing how to do this. and i didn't do it right. but i learned. and then just to amanda, like, i really am sorry. >> it's okay. i accept -- >> and when i apologize to you, like, it wasn't fake. it was real. >> okay.

anything? >> well, first of all, i mean i always feel bad when i see someone crying but i don't think you need a guide book to know how to be kind. and not to be mean or cruel to somebody. >> they said she was disrespectful the whole show. and then ben came out. usually this is the part that was a blood bath. like the girls attack him. that didn't happen. everybody loves this guy. chris harrison said, if there was a bachelor mt. rushmore, his face would be on it. he did ask him about that he told two girls that he loved them last week. take a look at what he said to them. >> two women within you're in love with them. >> yeah, i did. >> do you realize what a mess you're in? >> thanks. i don't think life prepares you for what this kind of puts you through. you've seen it. it was excruciating. i never thought that's where my >> you're happy? >> i'm very happy. >> you're in love?
