i made a mistake. >> david taylor had been a free man.rs when he failed to report to his parole officer. david has been back at riverbend for one year. >> i'm not coming back. ain't no chance of that. no way. just a rat race. a controlled life. can't do nothing. 42 years old. too old for this. >> michael was very young when he first came to prison on a parole violation for aggravated assault. he believes his time at riverbend has matured him. >> it's helped me to cope with some issues that i have. and it's -- i was going to say a good place. but it's not. prison is not no good place. >> don't forget my guitar. >> i figured you might leave it for later. >> david's cellmate, greg edwards, has to wait another three months for parole. >> i'm happy for him. i just, you know, i see these guys come and go. but i know this guy right here, you know, he's -- he knows this ain't no life. >> the time has come for these two inmates to say good-bye to their lives behind bars. >> i'll holler at you. >> michael's wife and sister will be meeting him to ta

joining me is cnbc contributor sara taylor fagan, and fred yank, david, i'll start with you, ed markeyhas to face scott brown twice, once in the primary and once in the general. is that the best way to look at stephen lynch? >> it's an interesting way to look at it given his social issues. >> pro gun. >> blue collar, every man appeal. the interesting thing having covered the campaigns, the democrats with their majority approaching eight years old are finally losing control of the primary process a little bit at a time. there's a little restlessness, what we've seen in massachusetts and possibly new jersey, but it's also interesting and i think that anybody that thinks they can gauge where a special election is going to go doesn't understand specials. >> didn't follow the massachusetts senate race. >> i think it's open season. >> scott brown, if you were advising scott brown for his future in american politics, would you tell him senate or governor? >> senate. >> you would tell him to go for the senate? >> yes. >> why? >> because it's a special election. it's easier to win a special ele

lori david blogs for the "huffington post." >> frankly, i was horrified that taylor swift made a deal of an obesity epidemic and a diabetes epidemic in america. one in three kids are overweight or obese. and you know, one of the number-one culprits is soda. >> reporter: after signing her deal with diet coke, swift released a short video announcing the joint venture but didn't respond to any criticism. our calls to her reps were not immediately returned. diet coke did, however, release a statement. "an overwhelming majority of people have voiced their support of the new partnership between taylor swift and diet coke, and we are committed to putting those fans at the forefront of everything we do together." swift certainly isn't the first mega-star to sign with a soft drink company. in the '80s, michael jackson teamed up with pepsi. ♪ you're the pepsi generation >> reporter: more recently, so did pink and britney spears, laying the foundation for beyonce's reported $50 million deal with the cola company. ♪ you belong with me >> reporter: some marketing experts say swift is different. ap

david? >> this is nice. it looks nice. she feels comfortable, sexy, without showing too much. >> affordable? >> $58. >> who cares? >> right? >> thank you, guys. >> thank you. >> the next look we have taylors with sam. >> i think this is a great way. she just -- we just matched the shorts to the bra. it's easy. it kind of gives that girl next door fantasy, and she's wearing pj salvage shorts, and her bra is calvin klein, $30 bra, and then our guy is wearing classic pajama pants from michael kors. >> nothing more comfortable than that. >> taylor is our brave girl today. >> you look great. you look great. thanks, taylor. thank you, sam. >> very good, you guys. >> let's get some red hot -- >> you have taylor. >> yes, so taylor is wearing a sexier version of the classic pajama. she has $148 for the set, and you can find them at nordstrom's, and we pop the button and show a little cleavage. >> a little? hello. >> you can cover up, or just let the girls out a little bit, which is what we did. >> what kind of a bra does she have on? >> a demi-lace bra with a little jewel. show the jewel off. then we have polo boxers. >> those are comfy. >> yeah. ralph lauren. >> all right. >> those are adorable.

david niven barely skipped a beat. >> probably the only man that man will get in his life, by stripping off his shorts and showing his shortcomings. >> reporter: even a cool elizabeth taylorstage, the show must go on. >> i'm nervous. that really upset me. i think i'm jealous. >> reporter: even if it leaves you blushing. so, from the unscripted shockers to hilarious and moving speeches, we look back at some of the greatest moments. including more surprises in tonight's special. >> a lot of home movies, right? >> there's 160,000 reels in the academy's vault. enough to go around the world 1 1/2 times. and included in that film footage are home movies with people like marilyn monroe on the set of "the misfits" looking kind of bored. vivian lee chatting it up with the actors between scenes in "gone with the wind." it's really interesting stuff. >> and david niven was so quick. >> wasn't he? and we have a really cute interview with billy crystal and whoop pi, talking about the challenges of hosting. >> "mad about oscar" airs tonight at 10:00, 9:00 central on abc. >>> and coming up, much more. >>> back, now, with mandisa. her song, "stronger," from the album, "what if we were re
