36 years today. 36 years today. Their anniversary. Thank you for spending your anniversary with us. Can i give way the news too. Whats the news . What we just found out. No, were going to tell you. Okay, fine, be like that. We are going to give away so much news. There is so much news on kim and kanyes wedding. You cannot believe how important the info is. Remember when it was you . Remember when it was you on every magazine . Oh, i remember that. They are calling it kims dream wedding. But that was the last one. Right there. That dress is her old dress. My favorite is in touch. How can you get better than this . Wedding from hell. She is trying to squeeze into her Wedding Dress. I dont think thats her rear end. Maybe its an artists rendering. My favorite things. Look. Kris drunk all day. Kanye throws a fit and walks out. Bruces new look humiliates kim and khloes men crash the wedding. Theres no wedding yet. So, good. See, i would buy this one. This is the one i would pick up. I would buy that one. She went to twitter yesterday clearing up many of the rumors. Give me this magazine, will you, jeez. Her impending wedding to kanye she says the reports are false. They are not married yet and photos released of her Wedding Dress are also false. They arent filming the wedding for tv. They are filming everything leading up to it and everything after. They will only release photos of the ceremony, not videotape. Skpnget its not going to be 1600 people. Thats incorrect. But we didnt hear anything about the prenup. I heard a lot of that brewing. They should both get a prenup. They both have a lot of money. Right. Thats what i was going to say. All right. The only one who so far seems to have it right is us. If it just says countdown to crazy wedding. Theyre not there yet. There were reports they were in l. A. Getting a marriage license. But i think you need to get a marriage license where youre getting married. They are supposedly getting married in france. Im not prif toe privy to all of it this time around. Kris did call me the other day and we talked for quite a while. I guess congratulations are in order, she is married. Kris said, she lives in my house, i would know if they were married. People were asking, when kim and kanye were on vogue, how well would that magazine sell. There was early speculation it was a blockbuster selling half a million copies. But according to the New York Post it didnt sell all that well. It sold half of that, 250,000 copies. Which is still a lot of copies. But compared to beyonces, it wasnt a lot. She is leading cover lady so far with 355,000. Than mrs. Obama with 269. And vogue told nbc, they called us back well, they didnt call us but they called somebody. They said they dont comment on sales figures. You know what were going to comment on, because i havent seen it yet . What . Neil Patrick Harris is on the cover of rolling stone. Oh my god. Wow wow anyway everyone is always naked on rolling stone. Julia louisdreyfus was they are not really naked. Naked means youre naked. Theyre covered up. Hes wearing only a bow tie, as you can see. He talks about coming out and says that we dont have that one we dont have that one, okay. He said coming out helped his career rather than hurt it. He has a huge straight guy following because he played that barney guy all those years on how i met your mother. He is a terrific actor. He can play anyone. By the way, if someone else would have done the exact cover with the top hat covering the strategic part, a lot of people would have been, oh, my god, what are they doing. But because it is neil Patrick Harris, it is so cute. Im sorry. Theres something any something about him that he can do no wrong. I agree, certain people just get away with it. Because hes just loveable. Yes. And he is among them. And oprah winfrey, by the way, she has her own network and all that stuff, own, you wonder, how did someone start out. What was someone like in the beginning before they were oprah. She has an audition tape that was somehow released on youtube. This is owns Youtube Channel so they did release it. It is an audition for her trying out for a chicago morning show back in 1983. Check it out. My name is oprah winfrey. Oprah, oprah, harpo spelled backwards. My folks didnt particularly like harpo marks. We didnt even have a Television Set for years. I was originally named from the bible, first chapter of the 14th verse but no one knew how to spell in my home, so thats why i ended up being oprah. Her voice is different. Yes. Very interesting to hear, right . Even her delivery. I wonder how old she was then. Well, 1983, they say. I remember pretty well because i started working with regis in 1985. And so oprah was doing her chicago show and one day regis and i were local at the same in new york and it was an hour and a half show, monday through friday. They came us to and said, you guys mind giving up half of onethird of your show, half an hour because there is a new woman in chicago thats just got this named oprah . We said, yeah. You made room for oprah. No, no. They said they were going to take it from us, but it was nice of them to ask. About a year later, it was syndicated. Thats very cool, though. Yeah, a little history there. I think a year before that she was in baltimore. Thats what my mother remembers. There was a great story where she wanted to relax her hair and it fell out. Thats not a great story. Its a scary story, but it happens. Has yours ever fallen, out, no. But i have put some heavy duty chemicals up in there. And i would risk the consequences. So your boyfriend is in the news. No. Your boyfriend in your head. Hugh jackman. I just love him. He decided to do Something Different to promote xmen days of the future past. So he decided to interview his younger self. Right. Youll get it when you watch. Take a look. It will sound narcissistic to even ask this, but who is the biggest star in the year 2014 . Well, hugh, i know you will find this hard to believe, really hard to believe. You are by far and away the biggest star ever, ever, to actually be in motion pictures. Oh, really . So ive become a huge jackman. Hugh, youre awesome. I dont know if thats egotistical to say that, but thank you. Keep up the good work and keep moisturizing, whatever it is youre doing. And thats why i love the man. He can so make fun of himself. He is so terrific. Adorable. His interview with yahoo uk. Okay, hes all good. There is something cute. There is a couple who wanted to get married. And they met on the set of a music video. So they both shared music in common. They were trying to think up their vows. They decided they were stuck so they collaborated together and decided to write a song. Michael and carissa alvarado. Lets take a look at their wedding. I will stand by you even when we fall i wont let you go no one can take your place gonna make it right dont let it go to waste sweet. Its donnie and marie. Oh, my gosh. And here is the good news, too. They are adorable. They scored a record deal. With public records. And they are going to set up on 28city tour in the u. S. This summer. Good for them. That was awesome. Speaking of adorable. Great music. I got one. I got a hot, smoking, burning song. Its going to be A Donny Osmond song. I was just listening to a donnie and marie song, but this is what i chose today. This one is by pharrell and miley together. It is called, not come get it, babe. Come get it bae. Come get it, bae come get it, bae come get it, bae come get it, bae come get it, bae come get it, bae come get it, bae wow. Here it comes. Motorcycle youve got to like it ive got to ride pop a wheelie here it comes. Cause girl i like you you know its going to be a hit, right . They need something to rhyme with crush. Donnies got a point. Who is that . Pharrell. Pharrell an miley cyrus. I love it. Yes. Thats a smash. If it is pharrell, i love it anyway. Your motorcycle. Really . Yes. Oh, come on. You got to lose [ laughter ] go stay in your corner. All righty. Coming up, is your dog talented . You sent in crazy pet videos and were going it to show you one. And a day with donny osmond. All about it, hes got great musical taste. Right after this. All righty then. Wow. I love that song. Little bit country no, stop, stop, stop. Donny osmond has been in the spotlight come on and get it baby hes been in the spotlight since he was 5 years old, performing along side his famous siblings. Later becoming a teen idol to millions of fans. But the onstage chemistry donny has with his sister, marie, that has kept fans wanting more for 50 years. This month the two will celebrate their 1,000th show together in vegas, which, by the way, has been voted the best show in town for the last three years. It is really pretty remarkable. Wont you supposed to stay there for six days first . Six weeks at the flamingo in 2008. Here we are in our sixth year. I was talking to my manager and we were trying to figure out, what are we going to do for the 1,000th show. And he said, lets plan the 2,000th show. So its working out for you guys. I know it was hard for marie for a while. She was doing the talk show back and forth in l. A. And sleeping on the couch. And winning dancing with the stars while doing that at the same time. Of course you did. You just rubbed that in maries face. I won and she didnt. She doesnt win. We know she didnt. You did well. You broke your knee and something else. My neck. That was before. But i still won. Still got it. Still got it, baby. What is it about your shows that you think resonates even now . You have been around forever. Hoda, i dont know. I would like to think it was talent. [ laughter ] we all know that hugh jackman got all of that. True. What does he know. But we just leave it all on stage. We work really, really hard. And the show changes and evolves all the time. People think is that stale dialogue, is that written for you . The dialogue changes. Ill throw a zinger, shell throw me one. Sometimes it works. You got to go for it. Thats why people keep coming back and want to see the show. Were so fortunate. Especially in the entertainment capital of the world. To have the best show. And talking to each other, still liking one another. Lets dont go that far. You guys have reinvented yourselves. A lot of people who stayed exactly in their lane, their whole life, wouldnt attract a new viewers that you guys have with new music and stuff. Hoda, its important. You cant rest on your laurels. Im working on my 60th album out now. I thought how is that possible . I took songs that affected me and influenced me over the 50 years. Like what . Michael jacksons ben. That was my song. It was written for me. That was about a rat. It was. Actually, one bad apple was written for the jacksons and we kind of switched. Youre kidding . I said, lets get michael to sing it. It was his first number one solo record. So i recorded it my way. A little bitter . No. No, no, no. But that Peter Gabriel song, elton john song, every song has a story behind not just me singing a great song, but there is a story behind why a Paul Mccartney the long and winding road but that was music. Great music. Come on and get it baby that was my own fault. I should not set you up for that. People have questions for you. At this point in his life, is donny a little more country or a little more rock n roll. Rock n roll, baby. Do you still wear purple socks every now and then . Perfect case of ocd. Next question. What annoys you the most about marie . This show isnt long enough. We have a competition going about twitter. Who can get the most twitter followers. Follow me on twitter. donnyosmond. How many do you have . Couple hundred thousand or Something Like that. I need to get some more. Follow me donnyosmond. How many does marie have . Two. Are we going to bring debbie out . Debbie, come join us. It is their anniversary. Come on, sweetheart, please. Everybody wants to see donnys beautiful wife. You sit down here. See . 36 years. 36 years. Can you believe it . No. You know whats really interesting . Shes not just my wife now, shes my business partner. We started donny osmond home home furnishings. We had no idea it would take off. It went from zero to 60 overnight. Youre the only person who has done an interview with us in our home. We made a promise with each other that nobody would do an interview in our home. Such a bad experience, you said never again. 20, i needed the 20 bucks. It sounds so funny when i did it, at our house, over our fireplace there is a picture of me, a painting, holding cody. Over their fireplace is jesus and a lamb. Theres the difference right there. Congratulations on 36 years. Broadway or go to dinner . I dont know. What are we doing . I dont know what were doing. Do you have a suggestion. Go see a gentlemans guide to love and murder. It is hysterical. There is lots of good stuff, but that one. Thank you for the good recommendation. Happy anniversary. When the new album comes out, come back. Absolutely. Put some good music on there. Were gonna get it baby get it baby get it baby come on and get it baby time to give frozens princess a run for her money. Sick of it. What . Best day of my life and crowdg sfx sounds of marching band and crowd cheering so, im walking down the street, sfx sounds of marching band and crowd cheering just you know walking, sfx sounds of marching band and crowd cheering and i found myself in the middle of this parade honoring americas troops. Which is actually quite fitting because geico has been serving the military for over 75 years. Aawh no, look, i know this is about the troops and not about me. Right, but i dont look like that. Who can i write a letter to about this . Geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

Dont go anywhere, were asking lou, plus ambush makeovers. Lou after your local news. Were back with more of today on this thirsty thursday, which means it is time for ambush makeovers. Two lucky ladies found shelter from the rain in the hands of our crack makeover team. Today contributor and stylist to the stars louis licari and today contributor and contributing editor for people style watch and author jill martin. Hi, guys. A little damp out there. A few sprinkles. At this point, what the hey. We have a mothers day theme today. Good. We like themes. Were into themes. Okay. Our first lucky lady is cindy raymond, 40 years old from alberta, canada. Cindy is a substitute teacher with three young kids of her own, leah, matthew and lucas. She has never colored her hair and doesnt wear makeup. This is her first trip away from home, ever, and she couldnt be more excited to see the reactions of her husband and kids when she gets back. Lets take a listen to her story. Well, it is pouring, so Everyone Needs a makeover. But this is very special. Bffs for 25 years. I love this little picture. So why do you want this for cindy . This is cindys first trip away from home. It has been 12 years. She has three kids and rarely does anything for herself. A great treat for her. A nice gift for mothers day. What do you think . Im overwhelmed. But im excited. Okay. Thank you. How exciting. Cindy is here with her best friend kelly. Hi, kelly. Please keep your blindfold on for a minute. Here is cindys before picture.

This is a great haircut, keeping her hair keeping it some length but great body. I softly highlighted her hair. She lives in a place where she cant color her hair that often, she can maintain it every three or four months. The highlights are warm, not ashy. So it looks young. What do you think, kelly . Gorgeous. Jill, thats the perfect dress. Im sorry. Perfect. Darling. She picked it out because her sons favorite color is yellow. So this is so sweet. Maggie london, we added a thicker belt because look at this little waistband. You look really great. Congratulations. Go join your friend. Our second lady is lisa rockwell, 53 from new orleans. New orleans mother of seven kids. Ages 14 through 28. She says having kids kept her too busy to really pamper herself. She still rocks a scrunchy almost daily. Nothing wrong with that, baby. Shes thrilled for a glamorous new look, no scrunchy included. Lets listen to her story. We shocked you when you were raising the roof, though, when we picked you. So you seem excited. I am excited. I just cant believe this is happening. It is just a thrill. And it is a thrill to be here and were celebrating my friends 50th birthday, and my seven kids are back at home and my husband too.

Beautiful. Turn around. Take a look. You look beautiful. You look so i love it when everybodys happy. Oh. We didnt do anything. Louis, tell us what you did to her hair. What i did is i corrected a very common mistake, i softened her hair color. She was covering a few grays and progressively darker and darker. This is much more appropriate for her coloring. This haircut gave her the volume and of course this all completed with the makeup. Ladies, please, please get it together. [ laughter ] new orleans girls everywhere. Tell us about the dress. She looks totally different. This is cynthia and soma intimates smoothed her out. That is nice. Come back out, cindy. A round of applause for everybody, yes. Jill, as usual well celebrate National Pet Week with funny dog videos you sent us. Youll like them. First, these messages. Every time someone chooses finish over cascade, it sparks a movement. You got to try finish. Finish delivers an unbeatable clean and superior shine versus cascades leading detergent. So take the finish challenge. Switch and see the difference. This is how it feels to hotwire. All right, time to fix all the problems around the house when we ask lou. Today contributor and host of the syndicated show house smarts Lou Manfredini is here to answer some of the repair questions you have about your home that you sent into us. First question, lou, hi, comes from terry. My older hot water heater is making a loud gurgle and popping noises when i use hot water. Is this dangerous . Could the bottom fall out . How often should i replace the water heater . With water heaters, what is important, when it starts to make those sounds, depending on the age, it is probably a good idea to consider replacing it because the average life of a water heater in the u. S. Is about ten years. The way you can know is there is a little guide here, a little stamp, that has the serial number. Most of them have a manufacturers date, this particular one is 2006. Then you see that serial number that is to the left, that long geln 06. Many dont have the manufacture date, but the last two numbers are the year it was built. This is 06. If it is snap, crackle and popping, better to get it fixed while it doesnt leak, because then it is Tuesday Morning and you have no hot water and you have to spend twice as much money to have a plumber come out and do it. Are they under warranty . Most manufacturers have a warranty of about five years or so. But, remember, it is a Manufacturers Warranty on the product, so theyll say, well, hoda, you had this thing for ten years, you spent a thousand dollars, were going to prorate that over ten years, here is your 100 bucks. Still got to get it replaced. Still 100 bucks. Susan asks this question. I want to paint spray paint my patio furniture. My husband insists we have to use a brush. Is there a spray product i can convince him to use . Looks like there is. I cant spray this on the air because were in a closedin area and we have all these hot lights. I really like this product by rustoleum, a universal hammered finish. If you look closely at this light switch, we applied this. There is actually glass beads in the paint. And when you spray it, what you want to do, if it is metal, take a sanding sponge like this, do a little bit of prep work to prepare it. If there is any rust or anything like that, get it as smooth and clean as possible. The beauty part about this is now with spray paints you can spray any angle. So it used to be to hold it like this. The chair would be difficult. And so this universal spray and now they have these triggers on there, much easier to use. When youre spraying, you go left to right or top to bottom. You pull, spray, release. Pull, spray, release. Dont get drips. Oh. And do light coats. This stuff looks great, comes in a bunch of different colors and finishes and really holds up well. Fabulous. Good people. Last one, nancy asks this. I have sixpanel closet doors and room doors that need to be repainted. What do i have to do to prep the door and what do i have to do to prep the trim around the door and what kind of paint should i use . 90 of a good paint job is preparation. The paint part is easy. With the six panel doors, what you want to spend a lot of time on is the detail in the trim work that surrounds it. The sanding sponges. I just did this a little bit, this is a preprimed door. You want to get all of the debris and the gook that gets in those corners and get this as smooth as possible. We dont have to go crazy here. Then if you prime it with a product like this bin primer, this, youre going to take youre going to work the areas first this is a very watery primer when it goes on. So you have to be careful about how you put it on. It will drip. And you got to Pay Attention that it doesnt gather there and leave you big drips. When that drys, once that drys, then you hit it one more time with sandpaper to knock it down and get it smooth and then a paint and primer in one like this valspar product is a heavy bodied paint. Youll do the same thing around the corners. Look how nice it brightens up like that and work those areas around, do the squares first, then finish the strokes evenly all the way around, the same goes with your trim. Two coats of a paint and primer. It is going to look fantastic. Thank you, lou. Only lou has all that information. He certainly does. If you have questions for lou, go to klgandhoda. Com, click on the connect button and maybe hell answer them next week. Maybe not, too. A mom with a big family and even bigger heart. Were celebrating mothers who inspire us every day. Coming up right after this. Great rates for great rides. Geico motorcycle, see how much you could save. People are using lysol in hundreds of ways. I have two kids and my home is my childrens playground. Lysol makes me feel comfortable that my home is fresh, its protected, and that ive killed the germs and bacteria. One lysol, hundreds of uses. With mothers day this sunday, we have been sharing stories of really inspiring moms and Amazing Things they do all the time. Katie troop is the mother of six adopted children. Four of whom suffer from a very rare skin disorder called, i hope i get this right, epidermolysis, or eb. Youll meet her in a moment. First, here is a look at katies story. My name is katie troop and im a mother of six beautiful children. My husband rob and i both come from large families and we also wanted a large family. After six years of marriage, with no luck conceiving, we decided to create our family through adoption. We found an agency and set up a consultation, but two weeks later a friend connected us to another agency we hadnt even applied to. They had a baby with eb. A very rare disorder that causes the skin to be extremely fragile and blister after even the mildest trauma. We immediately went to see him. I took one look at him and i knew he was mine. We watched hiss dressings get changed and it was horrifying to see, but the voice in the back of my head kept saying its okay, you can do this. This baby was our zach. And after 11 years, thousands of dressing changes, dozens of surgeries, and countless sleepless nights, it is absolutely okay. The first few years of zachs life were very rough. But just before he went to kindergarten, we decided being an only child was not a good thing for zach. And our family did not seem complete. So we were blessed with the adoption of our sweet elizabeth and a few years later charlie. But i still felt like i was missing someone. A friend in the eb community knew of two sisters and even though at the time i just wasnt capable of taking two, i knew i had to try to bring jade and ellie home. Just last week, we adopted their younger brother who also has eb. Life is crazy, but there is Nothing Better than a house full of kids that are happy and joyful. Oh, my gosh. Wow. Hello. Katie troop is with us with another great mom, jamie silver. Jamies son also has eb. Jackson, hes over there, cute as can be. Jamie and her husband alex started the Jackson GabrielSilver Foundation. They raised more than 2. 5 million toward eb research. Hi, ladies. Welcome. Happy mothers day. Thank you. Wow. By the way, this is incredible. When you adopted originally, that was interesting and fulfilling and to adopt other kids with eb, why did you decide to do that . It was a miracle we found him and he found us. We knew we wanted to have more children eventually. And just gods hands came together and found these beautiful children for us. Tell us, it is rare, but is it forever . This condition . Is it curable . Its a genetic skin condition. Youre born with it. Youll have it for the rest of your life . Is it manageable . There is wound care we do for our children every day. Theyre in a lot of pain. And for us, i think, one of the hardest parts is that in order to care for our children, we need we need to inflict some more pain. Painful bath and bandage changes everyday. So currently that is the way we care for our children. But were working really hard, the Jackson GabrielSilver Foundation to advance treatments and cures. Is it strangely easier with more kids who have it because youre used to it and you know how to do it. Were an eb family. It affects every aspect of our lives and means there is a lot of things we cant do and a lot of things we can do. So since there are already so many things we cant do, we might as well bring everybody else in and do that too. You want every child to have a childhood and so much of childhood is running around and being active and how do you teach your child to be comfortable in their own skin when they know theyre going to get hurt if they fall and we dont feel like we have to teach them to be kids. They know and they want to do it our job is to run defense and be there to pick them back up. Oh, my gosh. Well, jamie and katie, we know you have been terrific moms with kids with eb and it can be a huge challenge. We decided to pamper you guys a little. Spa finder wellness 365 has given you guys some certificates where you can use at 20,000 locations. You get spa treatments, travel, yoga and more. And we couldnt forget about the kids. We heard jackson is into legos. Where is jackson . Hi.
