he says shows like toddlers and tiaras are disturbing he calls them bizarre and says his wife kathy who died in 2006 never approached pageants that way. she and john bonet did them for fun. it is something he regrets because it likely drew too much attention to his family. that is your 5@5:00. >> let's get to your weather with maria molina. looks like things across the country pretty nice for the most part today. >> relatively quiet along areas east of the rockies. if you head west where we have some very unsettled weather with a series of storm systems that continue to impact that region. you can see 3 feet of snow over some of the mountains and northern rockies. that's something else aside from the quiet weather further off to the east. we are looking at record warmth east of the rockies. some of the temperatures we are going to be seeing across the midwest are up to 35 degrees above average. we are seeing improving conditions across new england. we have a storm system across the northeast. otherwise later on today we are seeing showers and thunderstorms. a lot of humidity and warmth

. >> speaking of those, you see the programs on cable, "toddlers & tiaras."u see the programs, what do you think? >> i don't care for them at all. that was certainly not the world in a jonbenet and patsy participated in. when they did it, there was a talent component to the program. and the only people there were grandparents and moms and dads. >> not coaches. >> no coaches. >> costume designers. >> no. and but now that they put it -- made a television show out of it, it's pretty questionable. that's a good idea. i don't think it is. >> do you regret that jonbenet was even in a small part of that world? >> in a sense. we questioned it for a while. was that the reason we were targeted? was there someone in that audience that looked at her in a different way than they should have. >> do you think that's -- >> i don't. but we wondered that. i think the point is, you need to protect your children to not put them on public display like that. it would be my choice if i had to do over again. >> you carry a medal in your wallet? what's it for? >> it was a medal that

. >> so we are having it made into a necklace, earrings and a tiara. >> i love you. >> fran, welcomeas in t? >> yes. >> how cool is that? >> she plays my nemesis from college. we get together for the reunion. that was a fun episode to shoot. it's the premiere episode. >> people need to realize you are not just a pretty face. this show was your idea, as was "the nanny," by the way. you're very much a driving force behind these ideas. >> absolutely. i wear so many hats on these shows. it's my great pleasure to do it. i would be bored if i had only one job. so i created it. i executive produced it. i write on every episode and i star in it. >> and it is art imitating life. this character you play, fran, is coming out of a long-term marriage, dating again. after finding out the man she was married to for a long time -- >> is gay. >> that's what happened to you. >> yes. my marriage to peter jacobson, turns out that he's gay now. we didn't actually break up. >> he didn't say it until two years after you were divorced. >> yes. at some point through the marriage he was in therapy and got in

. >> and now we have these shows on tvs like "toddlers and tiaras."rents whether this is a good idea? >> i've not watched those shows other than just catch snippets of them as i'm surfing channels but that's pretty bizarre. children need to be children and patsy's philosophy was to let her children try what they think they might like to try, to see what they're good at, and jonbenet was an extremely extroverted little girl, so that was an avenue for her to express that capacity, but to -- if that's not your child's gifting, then no. and certainly not to put them on public display, that's not good. >> it's an interesting book and you talk about moving forward with life. you're recently remarried. i'm glad to hear things have moved along. >> thank you. >> thank you for being here. >> my pleasure. >>> up next if you're been hungering for "the hunger games" we'll look at whether the much anticipated film will have the same bite as the blockbuster "twilight" films. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." >>> this portion sponsored about i novolog flex

. >> you see "toddlers and tiaras." >> i caught a little bit of that. >> when you see those programs,inly not the world that jonbenet and patsy participated in back then. that was 15 years ago, patsy and jonbenet did it, there was always a talent component to the program and the only people there were grandparents and moms and dads. >> not coaches. >> no coaches, no -- >> costume designers. >> no. no. but now that they put it on and made a television show out of it, i think it's pretty questionable that that's a good idea. i don't think it is. >> where does the case stand now? >> cold. it's cold. what is fascinating, though, they do have a dna profile of the killer. has is the same thing that cleared the ramsey family, 100% of this crime. i'm not sure everybody knows that. we went to town on this story. i asked him about that. i said you must hate us for what we did to you and he said, no, not at all. i understand it. i said do you think we did as good a job of clearing your name as we did bringing you into this? i think he really blames the boulder police for what they did and how th

it airs shows like "sister wives," "toddlers and tiaras.", that people feel are more justified than those surrounding "all american muslim." the season was only eight episodes. not a strong commitment to start with from tlc. >>> let's talk about whitney houston. her will has reportedly been filed. what's in it? >> appropriately enough, it looks like whitney's daughter bobbie kristina will be benefitting from the will. we're still waiting to get our hands on the document, but bobbie kristina is getting the bulk of the estate in a trust. some money when she turns 21, more at 25, and access to everything when she turns 30. bobbie kristina is only 19 now. and also to access it for specified reasons, like paying for education or starting up a business. the money, the jewelry, all of whitney's possessions, certainly valuable. but probably the most important part are the rights to whitney's music. if bobbi kristina can manage all of that well, it will hopefully keep her financially secure for a long time to come. carol, just in case you were wonder

john ramsey revealing shows like "toddlers and tiaras" are disturbing. says his wife patsy who died in 2006 never approached pageants that way. he says she and jonbenet did them for fun but he still regrets the pageants because it drew too much attention to his family. >> energy secretary steven chu backpeddling on his plan to jack up prices of gas to europe levels. he first said that before he joined president obama's cabinet in 2008 and then last week, he said cutting gas prices is not his overall goal but now he's got a different idea. >> you say that you no longer share the view that we need to figure out how to boost gasoline prices in america? >> i no longer share that view. >> you did then but you don't now. >> of course we don't want the price of gasoline to go up. we want it to go down. >> interesting. republican senator mike lee of utah getting chu to flip-flop in front of the senate energy and natural resources committee. >> lindsay lohan just can't stay out of trouble, apparently! tmz reporting she was leaving a lounge late last night in holl

she's like a stage mother on "toddlers and tiaras". >> i mean, sonja sodemeyer was at one point begging to come up why this isn't a limiting principle to the individual mandate. why this isn't just a lone example of a time in which the mandate would stand. this wouldn't be a series of events that would follow. she didn't get an answer! >> yeah, that's right. and then, of course, on top of all that, there were a lot of nonlegal expert observers who are still questioning the whole fact that elana kagan who should have been recused from this entire exercise shouldn't be sitting on the court as well. >> she had the job of the person in the white house, she was a solicitor general during the time in which obamacare came into fruition. i have to move on to wisconsin because there appears to be a war on wisconsin and i know you have some comments on how the badger state, you believe, is under a coordinated siege from whom? >> yeah, from the entire progressive left. not just from the mainstream media and the soros funded organizations that hav
