captioning funded by cbs good saturday morning. i'm rebecca jarvis. >> and i'm jeff gror. from studio 52, this is cbs this morning saturday. >> disaster at sea. three people are dead after a cruise ship with more than 4,000 people on board runs aground italy. ripping a160-foot gash into its hull. the ship is listing severely. many lifeboats can't be lowered. a cabin-to-cab inch search is under way for anyone who may be trapped. no remorse. former mississippi governor

haley barbour says he's comfortable pardoning 200 convicted murderers and felons. >> five worked at the mansion, and i can tell you, they are no threat to society. >> now the state and the victims' families are fighting back. >> that doesn't make it right that he should be pardoned for murder. oprah's honor roll. controversy surrounded her school in south africa. >> i believe education is an open door to all life. >> but now her first class is about to graduate. >> this has been harder than i ever imagined. it has cost more money than i ever imagined, yet every single sacrifice has been worth it. and the cult of tebow. he is looking for one more miracle win against tom brady tonight. >> denver scored off new england! they win on the first play of overtime. >> can madison avenue turn tebow's cult into a cash cow?

all that and all that matters, on cbs this morning saturday, january 14, 2012. good saturday morning to everyone. we join you live here at our brand new studio. >> maiden voyage on saturday. great to be here with you, rebecca. >> it's great to be here. glad you could join us. more serious news coming up in the program regarding this incident of u.s. marines reportedly, allegedly, desecrating bodies of taliban soldiers in afghanistan. we'll speak way marine that was stationed in the same location before this battalion was stationed there. winter is here. >> i can't believe it. especially in my hometown. >> chicago, second day of storm in chicago. winter has also arrived in new york.

gusty yesterday. right, lonnie? more on the national forecast in a few minutes. first, the cruise ship that ran aground off the coast italy. three people dead. the ship is listing sharply. water pouring in from a huge hole in the hull. passengers and crew forced to abandon the ship. we are joined from porto san stefano, italy this morning. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. many people rescued came off the ship you can see behind me. they dropped their lifejackets into a pile and went into medical and reception tents, counting themselves very lucky indeed to escape scenes one passenger described as being like something from the "titanic." 4,000 passengers and crew will to be evacuated from the ship, many ended up in porto san stefano, the town near where the ship ran aground. the impact ripped a 160-foot gash in the hull.

the captain ran aground. there were scenes of panic and chaos as the ship began to list. >> everybody was screaming out. passengers running up and down. >> reporter: because the angle of the ship, some of the lifeboats could not be launched. the "kosta concordia" was on an eight-day cruise around mediterranean ports. it happened during a late dinner serving, about three hours after the ship sailed from an earlier port. the first evacuation drill wasn't scheduled until late today, and complained the crew had not given cleary evacuation orders. at least one of the dead is believed to have succumbed to a heart attack when he panicked and jumped into icy waters. a search is going on cabin-to-cabin to make sure no one is left and scuba divers will go into underwater sections if necessary, jeff. >> at this point, they don't know for sure if everyone is off that ship? >> reporter: no, i think they

are pretty sure they are. but some passengers complained they came off, no one was actually counting them. over 1,000 crew and about 3,000 passengers on board, so, you know, a lot of people to account for and people rescued by lifeboats, ships, even helicopters, so making a final count could take some time. not entirely sure everyone is off, but they think they accounted for everyone, jeff. >> alan, thank you very much. former mississippi governor hawley barboll haley barbour is defending his decision to pardon more than 200 people, including 17 convicted murderers. barbour says he believed in second chances and is totally at peace with his decision. we are joined from the capital, and anna, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. a week after granting pardons for 200 convicted criminals and hearing outrage from around the

state, governor barbour defended his actions. >> many believe from most accounts or earlier misstatements, that i released more than 200 people from prison. that's not true. >> reporter: haley barbour stood by his decision, including four men accused of killing their wives or girlfriends. all walked at the governor's mansion. >> the trustees set to work at the mansion have been murderers. convicted of crimes of passion, because experts say they are the least likely to commit another crime. and are the most likely to serve well. >> reporter: one of those murderers was anthony mccray. barbour porded him this week, even though he was killing a wife sentence for killing his wife, jennifer, 2001. barbour's pardon of mccray says he proved to be a diligent and dedicated workman and granted him a full, complete, and

unconditional pardon. joann martin is the victim's sister. >> i don't doubt he didn't do a good job, but that doesn't make it right that he should be pardoned for murder. >> reporter: in 2008, barbour pardoned four other murders that were involved in crimes of passion. >> i believe in second chances and i try hard to be forgiving. >> reporter: now state legislatures are suiting e in se governor's authority and the controversial trustee program. one lawmaker plans to introduce legislation on mob to try monda make sure this never happens again. >> we are joined by professor matthew steffi. >> good morning, jeff. >> what did you make of haley barbour's explanation? >> i think many found the explanation fundamentally

unseating. the idea that people are good workers or part of the household staff in the governor's mansion suggests that they paid their debt to society and are safe to be leased. it also embraces an idea that many people thought long discarded that somehow killing your wife or girlfriend was less bad. >> let me ask you about that. the crimes of passion that is something that haley barbour is falling back on. you think he's incorrect. >> oh, i certainly do. one of the trustees, among other things, during a robbery, killed an innocent victim in cold blood. essentially two controlled shots, execution style to the head. another trustee killed hisse estranged wife while the baby was in his arms. >> we're talking potentially about two different laws

changing. one, not allowing governors to pardon those who work in the mansion, but also potentially holding public hearings before a convicted felon is pardoned. what are the chances either one of those laws is passed? >> i think there is a substantially good chance, particularly a law that provides more openness and accountability to the process, allows other voices to be heard. i think that's something that the legislature can implement in short order. whether this dismantles the trustee program or limits the governor's pardon power is more difficult. the government allows pardon power pursuant to mississippi government. and a substantive limit may be more difficult to achieve. >> let me ask you this. haley barbour is convinced that these guys will not commit crimes again. if they do, is haley barbour potentially liable for anything? >> absolutely not. he enjoys complete immunity from prosecution under criminal law

or civil damages. he has absolutely no accountability or liability if they reoffend. >> professor, we appreciate your time, thanks. >> my pleasure. a marine general has been appointed to investigate the alleged incident of four marine snipers desecrating the bodies of dead taliban fighters in afghanistan. a widely circulated video apparently showing them urinating on the bodies. no charges have been filed. who are these marines? joining success a former marine captain stationed in afghanistan. his unit relieved by those allegedly in the video. and tim kudo also a representative of iraq and afghanistan veterans of america. this battalion replaced yours? >> yes. >> how surprised were you to see this video? >> every marine was absolutely shocked to see this you wouldn't

expect this from a unit, but any marine in general. these actions are completely outside the norm and basically a few individuals who went rogue and took things in their own hands. >> internally among the marines and comrades, how do you see these individuals? >> i don't see them as marines. i see them as setting back the war effort, put their fellow marines in danger and are in contrast with everything that marines and america stands for. it's hard to see them in marines in that way. >> do they have the power with these actions and allegations to undo the work that you have put into the effort? >> i feel like they did undo the effort that i put into that area and the marines that worked with me into the area. while we can overcome it, we can do it. we've done it in iraq and afghanistan, but it will take a lot of thinking, and a lot of casualties probably. >> what kind of stress do you

believe they were living in day to day? >> the stress of combat anywhere is is incredible. they had daily ieds, daily small arms fire. away from their families, men dying, getting injured. it's very challenging. but it doesn't excuse this. there are plenty of people that have gone through this and done the right thing every single day. that's why this is such an extreme case. >> what should ultimately happen? >> i think they should investigate it and be court-martialed. >> what are some of the options that could be done to these individuals? >> they could get -- kicked out of marine corps, go to the brig. that's what the usmj will allow them to do. >> you belief that feeling is shared by many individuals? >> absolutely. absolutely. >> captain kudo, thank you for coming in this morning. we appreciate it. >> jeff. we move to tescalating tens with iran. the white house is warning them

not to shut down the strait of hormuz. but iran doesn't appear to be listening. david martin, national security correspondent, reports. >> reporter: new video shows speed boats from the iranian revolutionary guard, harassing a u.s. warship in the strait of hormuz. the kind of naval hot dogging which u.s. navy officials say is almost routine. one week ago, the iranian boats closed to within 500 yards, ignoring whistle and voice signals. more speed boats come up behind a u.s. coast guard cutter inside the persian gulf. u.s. officials call it most posturing and say it happened many times before. but a pentagon official say it got our attention because of iran's public attention to close the strait of hormuz and choke off the 15 million barrels of oil that pass through there each day. by some estimates it would double the price of oil and defense secretary panetta says

the u.s. won't let it happen. >> we cannot tolerate iran blocking the strait of hormuz, and that's a red line. >> reporter: most officials do not believe iran would take such drastic actions since it would crip ill it's own exports and alienate every country that counts on its exports. still, they showcased the weapons it would use to close the straits. one pentagon official says everything they are saying matches what they are doing. david martin, cbs news, the pentagon. the u.s. made it clear it will not allow iran to block the strait of hormuz. one-fifth of the world's oil supplies is exported every day. they could take action to reopen the strait. for some perspective, we'll move to our washington bureau.

general, good morning. >> good morning. >> what is the response militarily if iran closes the strait. >> the united states and coalition allies have a significant capability to reopen the straits. mine counter measure systems are probably already in place, and while the strait could be closed for some period of time, it could be reopened in a matter of days or weeks. >> how costly would those actions be to both sides? >> that's the right question to ask. it would certainly be costly to both sides. there would be costs to american ships, to american personnel. >> is this just iran saber rattling some more? >> it could be. but the real danger is not a calculated decision on the part of iran to provoke conflict. but a mistake as we saw with the hot dogging last week that could escalate to something nobody

intended. >> i want to ask you about iran's nuclear ambitions. they said they will let back in iaea inspectors. a stall tactic? >> probably so. iran imported a lot of missile technology from north korea and also imported the playbook for how to play the international community while they continue to develop nuclear capability, which is what north korea did. >> you think it's inevitable that iran gets a nuclear weapon? >> i think at this point, the rhetoric that's being stated internationally, we will not permit the iranians to have a nuclear weapon, hasn't slowed down the nuclear development on their part. and there could very well be a day when we wake up and the iranians proclaim they have the capability. >> what is the strategy to plan for the day they do have it then? >> i think they've got to think on both sides of that day. we have everything in our power to ensure that the iranians can't develop a nuclear

capability. but if they do, we've got to be as equally intent on having a policy for what happens when they do announce it. and there are many historical precedents for how to handle a situation such as that. >> brigadier general, we appreciate your time. thank you very much. >> thank you. now for the rest of the morning headlines, cbs correspondent and news anchor bet betty nguyen. >> i'm loving this new set. good morning to you and you at home. with the south carolina primary a week from today, some of mitt romney's rivals are urging restraint. newt gingrich called on a conservative pac that supports him to pull an attack video the worry? the attack ads might weaken the front-runner if he becomes the presidential candidate. former presidential candidate john edwards suffering from a serious heart condition that will require surgery next month.

now in new york city, with the picture behind me, the gw bridge, windchill in new york city, around 20 degrees, 21 degrees. what happens, we have a big old high pressure system to the north. not just for new york city. i'll tell freeze alerts for jacksonville. northwest, a storm system will push onshore around say oregon into washington state and you will pick up in spots up to a foot of snow. so, again, winter has been very slow in making its presentation felt around here, but we are feeling it in force this weekend. a quick look at the national picture, new york city, behind me, a closer look, weather for the weekend.

over to up. >> wonderful tap dance, thank you. thank you very much. buddy. number one rule when you go to the symphony, or when you come on set on cbs news. >> did i forget to turn my ringer off? >> one patron forgot the rule in new york city during a concert by the new york philharmonic and almost began a riot. we are told about this show stopper. >> the culprit has confessed to a faux pas that seems unforgivable. >> ring ton going on and on and on, and actually the loudest thing in the hall. >> reporter: conductor alan gilbert in the midst of a

performance when the unthinkable happened. an iphone began ringing. and it didn't stop. >> there was so much tension and such a stunned feeling. i think for everybody in the room, but certainly the musicians. >> audience members started shaking their heads, sort of clucking, craning their necks to see who it is. but it keeps going and going and going and going. >> reporter: gilbert glared at the source of the sound in the front row. finally, he decided the show could not go on. >> we usually grin and bear it and say, okay, that's the price of living in the cell phone age. but there was just no way we could go on. you lose your bearings and have to orient yourself. and that is how it felt to me. okay. what do we do? we have to finish this piece. >> the audience is going nuts, .

saying throw him out. >> reporter: it turns out, the offender is a life-long classical music fan. he is too ashamed to be identified, he says the phone was off but the alarm was apparently set. he says he hasn't slept in two days. cbs news, new york. >> even if it's off, how difficult is it to turn the alarm off. >> i feel sorry for this person, it's nice they even came forward. i feel sorry for the other people too. what are you going to do? coming up, a warning about the dangers of diet soda. why it's really a can of wishful thinking? hold off on buying a gps for your car. which ones are going up inich o. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday."

year and what will actually be cheaper. first this week on "cbs this morning" co-anchor gayle king paid a visit to the white house for an interview with michelle obama. >> the first part of that interview. demands and pressures of her job. >> i have talked to every first lady that i have been able to make contact with. it's almost all of them that are living, and, you know, they all come into this office, hoping to make a lasting impression on the country, and i don't think i'm any different. >> i understand that what the job means to you, and what an honor and privilege it is. but i also think there has to be times that make be frustrating to you, that may make you angry. you do have days like that? >> oh, definitely, definitely. what i have learned is how i have to cope with it. sometimes i just have -- and usually it's the opposite of engaging.

you know, it's usually disengaging. there are some things that i just don't need to know. you know, sometimes i cut myself off from the media completely. >> i want to know everything. you operate sometimes, i just don't need to know that. >> for my own sanity. i just need to turn it off. if i want to be happy in this job. >> are you happy in this job? >> i am so happy in this job, and i get a lot of good energy from the people i meet, and that's how i measure what's happening. and i learned to do that on the campaign trail. i joked all the time that there would be two iowas, right? the iowa experience i would listen to on the news which always had barack losing, right? miserable and nothing was going to work. and then i would go to iowa, and i felt a whole different experience. people were open, they were listening, they hadn't made

decisions yet. they were curious, they were receptive, and i sort of thought, well, i'm living in this world. the real world, and measuring my responses to people by the responses they give to me. i do -- i have said this before about myself, i'm a 112 percenter, and i don't feel satisfied unless i'm putting in 112% into anything that i'm doing. >> anything that you do? >> right. whether it's raising my kids, working on the issues that i care about, working at a hospital. i think -- that's what i bring everything that i do. and i just think that's my if you talk to my mother, she would tell you i was like that since i was 10 years old. i just feel a deep sense of obligation, that if you're blessed, if you have gifts, if you have opportunities, that it's incumbent upon you to use those. and i try to pass those values on to our girls. we talk about this, we're in those conversations right now about doing your best and putting your best foot forward

and living up to a high bar that you set for yourself, because it's easy to coast, and i feel as first lady, i want to look back and say i did something substantive with this opportunity. >> gayle joins us now. congratulations. >> saturday morning, yay! >> a wonderful monday through friday team. >> great launch. >> gone through the first week, and, listen, get ready to go for week number two. >> with flying colors, including this interview. an extraordinary amount of time. an hour with the first lady. >> yeah. they told me that's unprecedented, and i have to say to michelle obama, our first lady's credit, we had reached out to her last month, and she said sure. i'd be delighted to help with the launch. she only did it, she knew we were starting this new show, wanted to help with the launch. things changed in the news, and i kept thinking she's going to cancel, cancel, cancel, she didn't.

when i got there, she said you can ask anything you want. it speaks to her as a person. she made the commitment and followed through, and we ended up with something that was really very telling about who she is as a person. that is no reluctant first lady you are looking at. >> and she brings up this point, she wants to leave this lasting impression, this legacy. what would be the number one thing that the legacy she would leave behind? >> it's the type of thing. somebody said what a privilege to go to the white house. and i said it absolutely is. she lives in the white house every day and she feels it's a privilege and honor to be here. and so for her, it's a matter of doing right by her husband, doing right by the american people, and she has a very strong love and enthusiasm for what is accomplished in the obama administration, and certainly his biggest cheerleader, biggest confidant, and people really like her. when you see her speak, you know why.

she's very genuine and very honest. >> nice booking, gayle. >> keep them coming. >> very nice first week. >> it's because it's "cbs this morning," that's what it is. >> thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> thank you, guys. >> to see more, go to cbsnews.com/cbsthismorning. now here lonnie quinn with a check of the weather. >> right to weather headlines. this is a pretty important weekend around much of the country, because winter has arrived. we are talking cold air for many people in the country. but it is not going to stick around too long. relatively mild winter. cold air will come back. let's take a look at buffalo, new york. where winter conditions are in full swing. okay, blowing snow out there, you've got cars, you have -- look, just a tough go of it right now in buffalo. will they pick up a lot of snow? not for buffalo standards. maybe two to four inches.

but it has been a snow drought this year. temperatures this year. 33 in boston. 38 in washington, d.c. buffalo, you will max out at 19 degrees, and satellite and radar picture will show you, in terms of our big snowstorms, yeah, i talk about a couple of inches around buffalo. this will be the big player. that low pressure system comes on shore for the pacific northwest, intensifies, drops up to a foot of snow in the higher elevations. here is a closer look at the weather for your weekend. all right, everybody. you make it a great saturday. rebecca, over to you. >> lonnie, thanks. i have a question for you. >> you got it. >> do you drink diet soda.

[ woman ] we didn't know where to go next with eric's adhd. his stimulant medicine was helping, but some symptoms were still in his way.

so the doctor kept eric on his current medicine and added nonstimulant intuniv to his treatment plan. [ male announcer ] for some children like eric, adding once-daily nonstimulant intuniv to their stimulant has been shown to provide additional adhd symptom improvement. don't take if allergic to intuniv, its ingredients, or taking other medicines with guanfacine, like tenex. intuniv may cause serious side effects, such as low blood pressure, low heart rate, fainting, and sleepiness. intuniv may affect the ability to drive or use machinery. other side effects include nausea, tiredness, trouble sleeping, stomach pain, and dizziness. tell the doctor about your child's medicines and medical conditions, including heart, liver, or kidney problems. [ woman ] adding intuniv helped eric. [ male announcer ] ask the doctor about once-daily nonstimulant intuniv.

in this morning's "health watch," the real skinny on diet soda. diet soda may actually cause to you gain weight. dr. holly phillips is here with details. what surprised me most when i looked at the study. you drink two diet sodas a year in ten years, and people actually gained in their waist circumference versus those who weren't drinking diet soda. >> even though it doesn't have calories, it does have consequences. i have so many patients, particularly young women, who i refer to them as diet soda

addicts. drink four or five a day. they use it to replace coffee in the morning. having so many sodas throughout the day. sort of a mentality, where you feel like i'm saving on the calories here so i can splurge somewhere else. >> and the splurging is one of the things that leads to weight gain. not just about weight. diet soda isn't just potentially negative on health for that reason, is it? about it as to why it's causing this weight gain. particularly, one of them, we think that the sweeteners in diet soda may affect how our bodies me ty ies metabolize ins. it may cause our bodies to crave more sweets and calories, so we're making up for it in other ways. the sweeteners themselves may cause weight gain. that's one of the things we're working to understand better. and they are also linked to diabetes. many long-term effects we're seeing with the sweeteners. nothing is free in life.

it's unfair. >> and the notion linked to diabetes. i have a lot of diabetics in my family. they drink diet soda. this is a real call to action for them to think about. >> you know what, rebecca? hard to call one better than the other. diet versus regular. if you are going to have four or five sodas a day, that's almost a day's worth of calories and a lot of sugar if you're a diabetic. water is not a bad thing. >> you're not saying drink diet soda, you're saying don't drink it or drink it in moderation. >> all about balance. one or two sodas a week. probab not going to see a huge affect in overall health. but up to one or two a day, that's when you see affects from the chemicals. >> if it's one or two sodas a week, do you have a preference whether people drink diet or regular soda? >> it really depends on you and

your body itself. if you are a diabetic, it's good to avoid the sugar. in general, i tell people i would rather see them have the sugar than the chemicals. so it really depends, one of the things to think about and talk with your doctor about. no need to have it, although i admit, i indulge as well. >> and i drink the diet stuff >> you feel like you're saving. if i am going to have a burger and fries, i'll do a diet soda. >> that's the thinking. dr. holly phillips, thank you so much. for more, go to webmd.com and search diet soda. up next, from laptops to wine, what's going up in price this year and what's coming down. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." eyes feeling overworked?

drop out. only a quarter who did graduate did well enough to go to college. >> we are creating assets for girls so they don't have to just use their bodies, but go out and use their minds. >> reporter: the next graduating class is next week. winfrey will try to find schools in africa and elsewhere that could use guidance and money. for more headlines, let's go to cbs news correspondent and news anchor, betty nguyen. >> love the new set. good morning, everybody. at least three people dead and dozens may be missing after a west coast italy. the costa concordia with more than 4,000 passengers and crew on board is afloat, but lying on its right side. water came rushing in a 160-foot

>> reporter: denver broncos quarterback tim tebow has americans standing up and taking notice. more than 42 million people watched tebow's thrilling game-winning touchdown strike against the steelers. >> to the end zone, an 80-beyond a reasonable doubt playard play. >> reporter: it set the record for the most sports tweets with more than 9,000 per second. on thursday, i sat down with tebow for an interview in denver. >> are you thinking in your head, how many miracle finishes do i have in me? >> here i go again. you never know what's going to happen. you can't worry about the end result, you have to play it play-by-play. it sounds cliche, but you have to worry about the one play. >> reporter: tebow is the talk of the town, from denver to david letterman. >> can turn water into gatorade. >> reporter: tim tebow's devout fans have come to expect miracles, but tebow's well-known

propensity for praising god has made some fans wary. preferring a separation of church and game. his memoir "through my eyes" is on the "the new york times" best-seller list. is he selling much more than books. tebow has a number of endorsement deals. >> you have to feel this. >> reporter: his future as a marketing powerhouse is almost unprecedented. >> he's a good-looking guy, great athlete. good character person. he appeals to a large demographic. >> he almost didn't make it into this world. >> reporter: a commercial that tebow did for free was the most controversial. this ad which aired on super bowl sunday 2010, is her mother talking about her difficult pregnancy, talking about pro life. pastor and professor joe price

has been teaching a college course on religion in sports for 125 years. >> intense fervor of some fans for imitating the tebowing, it comes offputting for those not following in the line of faith. >> tebow's success, anything but guaranteed. despite a winning pedigree with two championships at the university of florida, they didn't think his run first style and poor throwing mechanics would work in the nfl. tebow kept believing and hadn't resurrect a denver franchise that hasn't made the playoffs for the last five seasons. next test tonight against a rematch against new england. >> this is a tough one. if i'm the son of god, tom brady has to be the guy's nephew. >> reporter: tebow takes it in stride. how do you keep it in check? >> number one, what my mom and

dad preached to me as a kid. just because you may have athletic ability and may be able to play a sport doesn't make you anymore special than anybody else. it doesn't mean that god loves you more than anybody else. we play a sport, and it's a game. at the end of the day, that's all it is, is a game. >> reporter: he's just trying to lead his team to the promised land of indianapolis for super bowl xlvi and turning my colleagues at nfl today into believers. james brown, cbs this morning saturday, new york. joe joins to us discuss this. joe, you don't have to look very far to see marketing right up front. in the interviews, he makes a decision to wear this frs hat. how big is the tebow marketing potential? >> it's pretty big. he those win, stay healthy, his team has to do well. he appeals to middle america and a lot of people. we want to hear good stories, and he's a good story so far. >> what kinds of companies are going to be attracted to tim

tebow? like we've mentioned, he can be a polarizing character? >> one of the things we'll see, number one, how committed is he to improving off the field as on the field. see what he can do. there are plenty of companies out there. if he has a sense of humor. there was a story about ax body wash, and he would be interesting to slide into that he could be edgy. >> he's not against wading into political ground. how does that affect his marketing potential? >> it's funny. prayer circles in basketball and football for years. kevin malloy, an all-pro lineman for the jets and had a cross on the front of his helmet. it's different, it can appeal to different people. something we chose to engage in right now. >> a good point about off the field versus on the field. how difficult from seeing this many times yourself, how

difficult for him on right now to balance that? >> he's had good people around him. has to listen to coaches, really important that they focus on what the denver broncos and not what the tim tebows doing right now. a huge test tonight. probably the biggest thing playing in the patriots favor, all the attention to tim tebow today. it's interesting to see what happens. eventually he has to win the big one. >> as a marketing and branding expert, which types of brands do you think he should be going for to extend his own brand? >> things he's comfortable with. brands that appeal to him. brands that appeal to middle america. i don't think he should go and do spirits, things that really aren't part of tim tebow's character. we'll find out more about him as a person. as we go through the next two or three years, that's the time we have to look at. >> prediction tonight? >> patriots. i think it will be similar to when they played in denver.

>> thank you. >> see the entire interview with tim tebow on "nfl today," tonight at 7:30 eastern. huge game. followed by the broncos and patriots at 8:00, right here on cbs. >> we'll all be watching. >> yes, indeed. up next, our favorite movie critics predict the big winners at tonight's golden globe awards. >> you're watching "cbs thnch morning saturday." new starbucks blonde roast is another way to look at the bean. another way that reveals the lighter,

>> a slow year for movies. >> "the descendants," "the help," "hugo," the ides of march," "moneyball," "war horse." >> i think it will be "the help." not always loved by critics, but that's the popular, kind of accessible audience-friendly choice. >> michael? >> i think it's "the descendants." not like last year, where you had a very clear race between "the social network" and "the king's speech." this is a tougher field. >> i think it will be one of the two, but probably "the help." >> i think you're wrong. best picture, comedy, or musical. >> "50/50," "the artist," "bridesmaids," "carnage,"

midnight in paris," "my week with marilyn." this is an easy one i think it will be "the artist." >> i think you're wrong. i think it will be "bridesmaids." a big hit, a lot of tv personality that people like to see on tv and i think the globes will go for that despite the foreignness and foreign press association. >> i like your certainty. think you are all wrong. >> i've been wrong before. >> best actor. i love how they do this. george clooney, brad pit, ryan gosling, michael fassbender and leonardo dicaprio. >> i think it's a two-man race between brad pitt and george clooney. i give it to clooney. "the descendants," a warm,

ingratiating movie. >> i think it's going to be brad pitt. the first year you can legitimately give it to him. not just "moneyball." >> one of the great buildiconte all time. two friends going up against each other. absolute mega stars. >> best actress. merle strip, glenn close, viola davis, meryl streep, tilda swinton. >> i think it will be viola davis for "the help." presuming "the help" doesn't go your way. >> i think it's always a mistake to bet against meryl streep. she's so formidable. i would be afraid not to give it to her.

>> her time will come, but i don't think it's this one. >> best actor in a come believe or musical category. jean dujardin. brendan gleeson, joseph gordon-levitt, ryan gosling and owen wilson. >> jean dujardin. the moment he won best artist in cannes, he is the reason people love this film. >> i think so. it's sort of a break through performance. not an actor that any american movie goers were familiar with until this point. he lights up the screen. >> you're the same we. >> you agree on that one. >> on that one. >> finally, best actress in a comedy or muse call. this one quickly. jodie foster, charlize theron, kristin wiig, or kate winslet.

>> it will be kristin wiig for "bridesmaids." >> you don't think so? >> i think it's michelle williams for "marilyn." >> two great performances. two great performances right here this morning, guys. >> thank you for having us. >> want to make your own golden globe predictions? go to cbsnews.com. up next, obama goes gaga we're told. that and other trend enders when we come back. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." are going cuc with fresh, exciting flavor. tempting lemon tarragon, peppery poblano, sweet butternut. we're tossing it, roasting it, and grilling it. and we want you to be the first to devour it. at lean cuisine, we're designing delicious must-have meals with no preservatives. lean cuisine. be culinary chic. nestle. good food. good life.

we are showing people this video. they have no idea that that was staged. >> that was staged. >> yes, it was staged. >> i didn't realizes that myself. >> the whole video is shot like a series of little hand-held camcorders at the wedding. playing in new york now. i don't know why more movies don't use that type of stunt to promote. a couple of years later, still naive when it comes to viral videos. >> and very involved when it comes to social media including the obamas. >> obama got remixed to lady gaga to "born this way." like a time capsule of our age. >> the president becomes lady gaga in this video. >> 1.3 million views as of january 10th. >> and michelle obama, also involved in social media by joining twitter. >> when will she get her video. i'm sure pretty soon. >> you'll be here to cover it. >> every single candidate hopefully. >> good deal.

>> and chef shae gallante here to dish about his ultimate dish, slow roasted pork shoulder. good morning, chef. >> good morning. >> thanks for the drinks too, by the way. first, lonnie quinn with a final check of weather. >> good morning to you. let's start off by showing you the satellite and radar picture. we are having an invasion of cold air. for some of you, first time this winter. here we are well into january. biggest storm will be this system right there, which will get its act together. cold air rushes on shore with a lot of moisture. the highest elevations pick up about a foot of snow. let's go to weather headlines, bundle up in the northeast. it will be cold. speaking of cold, the opposite of that is warm. it won't be warm anywhere. in fact, it will be barely be 70 degrees anywhere in the country. miami, florida, barely hitting 70. dress the dog appropriately. anywhere in the country. what am i talking about? national dress your pet day. dog bluff, south carolina, 51

degrees, sunshine. rapid town, 33 degrees with a snow shower. partly sunny skies. bird island, minnesota, snow showers out there. and for all of the antelope owners, antelope, oregon, 44 degrees with rain in your forecast. here is a close look at the weather for your weekend. anybody want to quickly talk about washington, d.c.? my shoutout to the nation's capital today. events all around the city to celebrate martin luther king day, on monday, and on that day, a huge parade. thank you for watching "cbs this morning saturday" on usa 9.

that's it for weather. we're joining now for morning coffee by thomas caplan. he has a new book "the spy who jumped off the screen." a chilling story that could be ripped from today's headlines. a nuclear weapon falls into the wrong hands. >> good morning. glad to be here. >> good you're here. this is a fear for a lot of people. through your research on this book, the theft and sale of a nuclear weapon, something more likely? >> i think it's very likely. one of the great dangers that all people who deal with these kinds of things on behalf of our government and others are worried about and working against every hour of the day. whether it's from a former nation, former arsenal of a nation, or private sources, it's a growing threat. >> your character's name is thai hunter, and he has quite a background. tell me about him. >> ty hunter, we meet him in the

book, is 32 years old, and number one film star in the world. but his background is that he was in army intelligence and then a special op who worked with the kind of task forces that have numbers and no names. his identity vanishes once the mission is over. almost by accident he's become the number one film star, but that fame deflects suspicion from him, and he can go places where he wouldn't stand out. >> bill clinton wrote the introduction to the book. a long-time friend of yours. >> an accident of the alphabet. freshmen at georgetown university school of service. our last names were alongside each other. later we became roommates, and we have remained friends through the years. >> i wrote a great article on the book hunting expedition you

used to go on with president bill clinton. you both love thrillers. >> i actually first came to thrillers through bill clinton. a very interesting theme. i was -- at that point in plif, not sure whether i wanted to be a writer or maybe government or politics. he was committed to being in government or politics. we were both very influenced by the presidency of john kennedy. i was working as an intern for robert kennedy. in those days, i was sort of majoring in literature and minoring in politics, and he was majoring in politics and minoring in literature. >> what sort of thriller is it that you want to write, that would you like to read? >> it's interesting. as you noted, i have written three previous books. this is my first thriller, and i wanted to write a thriller. great respect for the genre. i didn't want to write one that was derivative. so the character came to me, just out of the blue while i was thinking of an idea for another novel and a little bit like the

scarlet of burnell, i began writing. >> "the spy who jumped off the screen," a great read. thank you for being here. >> i appreciate you having me. >> now here is rebecca. four exotic animals, with one remarkable thing in common, and it's not that they scare me. we'll tell you what it is when we return, you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." surprises can be a little scary. and a little costly. that's why the best agents present their clients with a lot of options. because when it comes to what's covered and what's not, nobody likes surprises.

that impact his pressdators although all? >> in south africa, there are a lot of penguins and a lot of sharks. >> the question, can he go home with jeff? >> i would definitely take him. there we go. >> arctic fox. >> this is adapted primarily for cold weather. look at this, beautiful white coloration. if you want to touch the fur. >> oh, wow. >> easy, rebecca. hilarious. look how beautiful this fox is. and to touch this animal, oh, unbelievable. >> how is he different from a red fox? >> well, it's white and a red fox is red. >> oh, okay. thanks, jarod. >> they can change colors in the seasons, but they have very short ears. you don't want to have a lot of extremities exposed when you live in subzero temperatures. the ears very tiny, legs more

compact. a beautiful animal. >> jarod came to play this morning, didn't he? >> you always come to play, jarod. >> you want to see the owl? i know you have been waiting all morning. >> i need to take a deep breath. >> excited to see you. this is awesome. again, another arctic animal. >> get a little closer. >> no thanks. >> look at this bird, how beautiful. again, a typical face for an owl. >> the mouth is -- >> he's really feeling heat. he's hot right now. a bird like this wouldn't really do that well any south in the border states. they do migrate like other birds of prey. new york is as far south as you will see these guys in the wild, only in migration patterns. completely white. are you safe with this one. snowy owls, what makes this one different from others this guy flies low to the ground. >> is this the harry potter owl? >> it is. he lives in a nature center, and

little more fast food. we just took it for granted. >> here have you not only the pork shoulder, but what is underneath the pork shoulder? whatever it is, it's delicious. >> a ragu of tuscan beans with escarole, onions, and tomatoes. >> look at the size of this bean in particular. >> is that a gigante bean? >> that's impressive. >> it doesn't take much to impress jeff. >> i guess not. >> this is lovely and we still have our sidecars here. if you could -- sometimes we ask this a lot to people on the dish. if you could have dinner or share this dinner with one person, who would it be? >> one person? >> or a group. >> my family. >> your family. >> yep. a meal like this is close to my heart, it's something i would have at a family dinner with my family on sunday. >> that's really nice. or you would be the cook or someone else would be the cook?
