queen anyway. some are floating the suggestion that maybe they should share the crown, lara, no word on that just yet. >> all right, t.j., well, joining us now exclusively is perez hilton. he was one of the judges at the contest sunday night. i have to ask what were you and the other judges thinking when you heard the name miss colombia called? >> my first thought was, wow, this iss rigged. because i knew how i photoed. and i knew w all the other judges voted. all of us voted for philippines to win. so we were in shock. and then when we found out that there was a mistake, i was like, this is brilliant. they did this on purpose for publicity. i mean that's how my mind works. >> well, you're not alone in that. but let me ask you, you were there, what do you think went wrong on that stage? >> well, you know, since the pageant there have been reports that steve missed part of rehearsals, that he was out gamblingng and driing and having

he made a mistake but he also could have been tired and hungng er. you know, he just didn't do his job well. period. >> i mean, but we've heard there's a teleprompter that you could see the names in the teleprompter. from your vantage point because i've been a judge and i've been the host of miss america and i know it's lilive tv. it is happening, it's very fluid. t did you see anything that could ve gone wrong that made this happen? >> well, there is a prompter, buthe moment where he crowns the winner isn't on the prompter because that moment, they dot want the other girls to know, so it was just on his card and he read it incorrectly. >> right. well, as i said, though, i mean just to say for steve that is a live television event that is happening, it's s veryve fluid. did you get a chance, perez, to talk to steve afterwards? >> no, he disappred as soon as

and it was crazy for us in the theater after ththe broadct ended. because people were booioing and screaming and emmitt smith came up to me saying somebody was shot outside the theater. we didn't have all the information yet onxaly what had happened on the strip, so it was pandemonium inside. >> yeaeah, i wou imagine so. i'm sure the fans were very confused, as were the contestants. what do you think of the idea of joint crown, sharing it? >> you know, i actually think that miss philippines whom we all voted for deserves to win, won, but losing is the best thing that ever happened to colombia, so in one sense she truly is the winner, although, as a judge and i'm looking at everhing that happened, i see her posting on instagram that she's the true winner, there's a reason, many reasons she didn't win, congratulations to philippines. >> wow, perez hilton, there you

a winner. >> boy, he speaks his mind, huh? >> he sure ds. >> keeping it real on tuesday morning. >> perez, we thank you. >> coming up here we'll talk to the u.s. marshal leading the manhunt for the most wanted teen in america. the massive search for ethan couch and his mother. and little adrian is getting his first live tv appearance, ginger and her husband ben join us live with the newest member of the "gma" family. oh. >> oh. >> he's cute. >> hi, adrian. he looks like you, ging. >> he reallyoes. >> cute baby.es, chills, and fever, there's no such thing as a little flu. and it needs a big solution: an antiviral. so when the flu hits, call your doctor right away and up the ante with antiviral tamiflu. prescription tamiflu is an antiviral that attacks the flu virus at its source and helps stop it from spreading in the body. tamiflu is fda approved to treat the flu

possible parole violation is what caused couch, now 18, to flee. >> but i think that was the trigger that sent him running once that videdeo surfac. >> reporter: this morning couch's face is on these wanted posters. and there's now a $5,000 reward. >> he belongs in big boy jail, in adult prison. he's always avoided it. he's never had to be responsible. maybe let him know money and privilege don't buy you out of every circumstance. >> reporter: for "good morning america," clayton sandell, abc news, ft. worth, texas. >> thanks, clayton. >> we're joined now by u.s. marshal rick taylor, one of the agents heading up the hunt. thanks for joining us this morning. what's the latest? >> well, we've been working over the past several days with tarrant county and the district attorney's office and running down leads. >> have there been any sightings of ethan or his mom? >> we've been receiving a lot of tips that have come in all over the country to include a couple that were international. but, you know, we're quickly going through those, rulingut

not valid. >> ptty sure they're still together? >> that is our belief, yes. >> how much trouble is his mom in right now, if, indeed, she has helped him escape his probation? what kind of trouble could she be facing? well, she could -- the charges could be filed against her and tarrant county, i'm sure is looking at that. it doesn't help her se to be assisting him and it's not to say that it's only the mother. if the investigation shows that other family members or associates, friends or anyone is offering support to ethan, they will likely be charged, as well. >> do you have any information to make you believe that other family members are involved? >> we have information that, you know, some folks arere cooperang and we always keep that in the back of our mind that they may not be complety truthful with us. but as that information comes out and the investigation leads to that, yeah, it's very likely that warrants could come out for anyone t that helpthem out.

they're urging the u.s. to regulate and set a standard bmi, a working model must meet. just last week france passed such a law requiring model to have a doctor's note proving that ty are healthy. >> we have statistics ch as 70% of adolescents report they define the ideal bodody image being what they see in fashion magazines. >> reporter: record says that the average model who makes it big on the international stage has a bmi of 14, 2 points below the world health organization's definition of starvation. she wants the u.s. occupational safety and health administration to require all models to have a bmi of 18 and above. >> a bmi of 14 or below is not naturally skinny. you are at great risk at any time of the day for cardiac arrest. >> reporter: for "good morning america,a," reena nan, abc news, new york. >> and joining me now is founder

a former model, a longtime model. what do you think of this idea, legislation for the catwalk, you like it? >> i'm glad this issue is being taken seriously. i think too often models' concerns are sort of trivialized and dismissed. people say, oh, you know, you're a fashion model. how hard can it be but profesessional mels have literally died trying to achieve this standard of beauty, this body image, and it goes beyond just the models working in the dustry. this is a powerful industry that has an influence on our culture and on the women and girls who look up to models so -- >> from your perspective as somebody in the industry, do you think that legislation can change the way things are? >> yeah, well, so we've seen in france they've just passed this bill that calls for health checks and that's something that i and the model alliance support. unfortunately, it's -- we get pushback from different

>> but do you think if there was legislation that models would say, okay, let's all agree we'll gain "x" amount or do you think there's sort of internal pressure as an individual to be thin? >> i think that the industry is not solely responsible, okay. >> that's what i was -- >> yeah. i think that there are multiple sources of pressure, but everyone needs to do their part because i think that we all want promote a healthy ideal for the girls working in the industry and the people who look up to these models. >> yeah, i was going to say girls like my daughter who think e be all end all is on that catwalk. >> and the industry has not been very good at regulating itself. that's why all these othther countries have stepped up, and i think the u.s. needs to do more, as well. >> all right. well, thank you for stepping up and speaking o sara, thank you very much. >> thanks so much. >> george. >> thank youou, lara. you know, robin has a big spial tonight. her look back at all the big moments that defined 2015 and the people who inspired us most. here's a sneak peek at her heroes of the year. >> this year there were no shortages of heroes or shall we
