now-disputed story about rape allegations the at the university of virginia. none of us want to attack a victim, she says. but the question should be asked, who is the victim? she describes the media's portrayal of her husband as a man i do not know. there appears to be no vetting of the accusers. in an interview over the weekend, cosby suggested his wife was standing by his side. >> how is your wife holding up to all this? >> the love and strength of the womanhood. >> reporter: she may be best known as bill cosby's wife, she has a ph.d., owns a production company and served as her husband's business manager. she stood by him through the death of their son and a failed paternity suit. the last time we saw her, she was by his side last month in

conversation with his girlfriend from jail. he got to lay out what his position is. his position is that he thought, he says, that this kid had a weapon and he fired at him. that's the defense. no need to subject him to sufficient cross-examination. sometimes in these kinds of cases, where the question isn't did he, but why. you do see the defendant testify. but when you have his testimony presented already in that form, no need. >> and the defense has an uphill climb because of the neighbor's testimony. >> it's really tough. if the jurors believe the neighbors who say that the girlfriend was talking about setting a trap, was talking about leaving their garage open, about leaving something to dangle there in the hope that a burglar would come so they could effectively get them. boy. if the jurors believe that, then he's in big trouble. >> what's their best hope? >> their best hope is, a, there are jurors who say to themselves, i'm tired of these

i do this myself for a lot less? well, there's only one way to find out. copying the gift boxes, i went for firm bears, apples and some citrus. the thing about citrus, there's some states you can't ship them too. so just those for the local recipients. maybe throw in something exotic like these, persimmons. i got the baskets at the craft store, my own packing material. and okay, don't get crazy there. voila. it actually wasn't that hard. because i'm not that crafty. for the sake of my experiment, i managed sending these to a friend in seattle. so the harry and david basket was $60 including ship. mine, homemade, $15 cheaper. giftbaskets.com, $48, and my version, including this super fancy box, was $17 cheaper. and gourmetgiftbaskets.com, $63.

my version, $33 cheaper. one note, the fruit basket companies have better shipping rates. and price in your time too. all in it took about two hours. i would say this project is really worth your time if you send a lot of gift baskets and especially if you can deliver them yourself. but then again, click, that's pretty easy for a one off long distance gift. for "good morning america," becky worley, abc news, oakland, california. >> thank you, becky. and the florida gift shippers association said go to the pros to get the highest quality, freshest fruit and the best experience. and more from seth rogan and james franco. with the controversy over the interview. the cia recruits a talk show host, played by franco, to assassinate north korea's dictator. take a look. >> the cia would love it if you

targets in this movie. that's what the news media, and seems like you're having some fun with your own public persona. >> i wouldn't say -- i don't feel close to this character. but i feel like he's on the fringe of my world. he's a gossip-monger. and -- >> he'd be really into james fran franco. >> how close are you? this is a producer for the talk show host who's having, i would say an early mid-life crisis. thoughts about should i be doing something for serious. that's what's happening with the movie even though it's funny. >> that is the conversation that the characters are having in the movie is a conversation that me and the people i work with do have. how -- although the public clearly has an appetite for garbage, how much of that garbage should you provide them wi with? and how much should you try to

insert something that is might be a little bit of garbage in your garbage. >> the movie ends up being seen in north korea, could you imagine what would happen if "the interview" could somehow be shown in that country? >> it would be interesting. i wonder what a north korean citizen would think of the movie. they are not bad. they are the victims of a bad situation. part of me thinks they themselves would really enjoy the movie. who knows. >> maybe one day. high-impact movie, great movie. >> thanks so much. appreciate it. and "the interview" opens in theaters christmas day. and coming up the "gma" live event. all those kids about to thank a beloved coach.

. well, there you go. back now with two-time oscar

winner christoph waltz. just nominated for a golden globe in "big eyes." it's about true events about a man who pulled off one of the biggest arts scams in history. taking credit for his wife's work. >> we have $5,000. and that wasn't even for one of your good ones. >> don't you mean one of your good ones? >> all right. one of our good abundance. >> what about honesty? >> the painting says keene, i'm a keene. you're a keene. from now on we're one from the same. >> so deceptive, so smooth. so happy to have christoph waltz with us. this role is really hard to turn away from. you play walter keene, a real estate man, a hobbyist painter who convinces his wife to sell her paintings, saying it's you.

they are over the top, but a huge business, nonetheless. what drew you to the story? >> i remember these images from my childhood. they were everywhere. even in austria where i grew up. everywhere. just not necessarily in art galleries and museums, but postcard shops and dentists offices. >> and that's because of the man you play. walter keene. >> i should assume, yes. so at one point he's referred to as a marketing genius. but when you look at it like many so-called geniuses, he kind of pulled his ideas from somewhere else. >> yes, he did. >> that's not a new idea to kind of rip off someone else's and print it and pro life rate it. >> except in the midst of the marriage. at the core this is a love story. >> that's the conflict. that's what good stories are made of. >> and yes, amy adams was here

yesterday. and both of you, congratulations on your golden globe nominations. that's terrific. she says, quite honestly, and you said it as well, both not interested in the rows initially. what was it about tim burton and getting you to open your eyes, so to speak? >> tim is an eye opener altogether. we see the tim bill weirton movies as the gothic illustration. not for me, it's the eye-opening effect he has on me. he always pierces the surface and the armor that we suppress our subconscious with. and out it comes. and so -- so -- especially in this story. and in stories about relationships. we -- we know what's going on from our own experience. but we don't really always dare to face it. >> and there it is. and there he is. now it's quite remarkable.

you can't believe that it's actually real stories. the things that went on with them. before we go, i want to congratulate you on your star on the walk of fame. >> thank you. >> that is a big honor, i would imagine. >> i was a little overwhelmed. >> i bet. and to have your buddy, quentin tarantino with you. it was special. >> wouldn't want to do it without him. he was the initiator about it. so having a star on the walk of fame wouldn't make sense without him. >> can't wait to see you on the new bond films. you can't talk about it. >> i can talk about anything. you can't talk about it. >> i can talk about anything. >> womaand the way it made me chronic feel,ipation, the discomfort,

the bloating, the straining. i'd just felt this way for too long. so i finally talked to my doctor about my symptoms. i'd tried laxatives before. he prescribed amitiza (lubiprostone) for my chronic constipation. it works differently than laxatives. man: amitiza is clinically shown to help relieve common symptoms like bloating, abdominal discomfort, hard stools, and straining and help people with chronic constipation go more often. don't take amitiza, if you have a bowel blockage or severe diarrhea. tell your doctor, if your nausea or diarrhea, becomes severe, or if you experience chest tightness or shortness of breath. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. woman: amitiza helped me find relief from my chronic constipation. ask your doctor if amitiza is right for you.
