Today is the first of march and always an easy day for me to remember because one of my favorite people in the entire world was born on this day. I want to say happy 90th birthday to my sons godfather, stanley moore. Look at him. He looks like that the day mitt him 35 years ago. Hes such a beautiful ethical human being. I love the man. Ive met him several times at your house. First of all, hes so much fun, he still plays squash. Enjoys a little vino once in a while. I love you. So this is something we love, too. Shall be in our arms forces comes back and is reunited with their family. If you wanted to find true love, this is it right here. So a 7yearold, alex, from virginia was really missing his dad. Hes been deployed in the navy for 99 days. So his mom wanted just to cheer him up. Take a look at what happened. I dont know if youre ready to hear it. What . Hes coming home . I dont know. What do you think . No. What do you think he has to tell you . I dont know. You dont know . If you can think of one surprise in the whole world, what would im coming home. Daddys home. Oh, my gosh. Ive seen it three times and it still gets to me. Like getting under the cuffs with twinkies. My daddy was a chief petty officer. And you know what i love so much, the kid didnt even talk. Hes just he clung for taker life. Just precious. Beautiful. So well put you in a good mood. If you happen to be in that put me in a good mood. These are tears of joy. Okay. So that was so beautiful. Do you remember i told you that my arm was hurting me . I am a selfie taker. I want to know if anyone else is getting tennis elbow from taking sell if is ig oig. And im not kidding. I had to go to the doctor and he said any repeated motion. He goes with the phone, i was like, oh, my god, that kills me. So i wonder if anyone else is getting tennis elbow from taking selfies. Let other people take your picture. Thats what im going to do. But i bet the young kids will have thumb problems and elbow problems. And social problems. Anyway, joy to the world. All right. So Oprah Winfrey is doing something cool. Shes auctioning off a lot of stuff from her closet on ebay. Now, i heard a rumor that she wear as size 10 shoe and i wear a 9 1 2. And sometimes i wear a 10, too. Anyway, all kinds of stuff from sale. This black gown size 16, its already on ebay for 1200. And look at her 10 size louie vuitton. Oh, get those. You need those. Look how how come none of her stuff is like scuffed up . She wore them probably wochbs. How about a slip. A slip from oprah. A black sheer waste band. And all the proceeds go to her Leadership Academy in south africa. You go to your which was either and youre like i havent somebody would love that. We should do it, too. I like the things i have like these shoes. Hoda, love the dress. Really love those shoes. Ive literally had these shoes for eight years and theyre high my favorite. And this is the dress you wore in vegas. My skrchlt j. Lo dress. Im wearing it again. And its time. Time for the bachelor. Youre quite the superstar. Everybody loves you. And they love your updates. Its a passion. So last night the show made bachelor history, okay . This is important because this is why. There has always been an unwritten rule that when the girls start to say i love you to the bachelor, theyre not supposed to respond, theyre supposed to stay vague and its in the until the finale that they can ask express their love. Ben broke the rule. Take a look at his date with lauren. I am completely in love with you. You for a while, as well. I love you. I love you, too. Thats crazy. Okay. Other girls still left. So then he had to go on a date the next day with jojo knowing he told the other girl he loved her. So lets look at her date. I do love you, and thats weird that i just said that because ive been so terrified about saying that. I dont want to think about what it would be like to lose you. I do. Today is the best day of my life. P im so happy. Im really happy. I dont know how you can be in love with two women, but i am. Still one to go . No, no, no. We need to marinate that for a secretary. What just happened . Im living like kris hair ris so that says the show applauds him for living in the moment. But one of those girls is going to be devastated. First time i didnt like ben. First time ever. Does he want america to hate him . And jojo is the one with the brothers. Oh, i love the brothers. They will beat him up. Did he say it again, is there a third person . He did send her home. So she gets in the car. But what i liked about her, shes like wait a minute, i have some questions. And she got back out of the car and confronts him and says did you know this whole time. Because this is the fantasy suite episode. So who knows what happened in the fantasy suite. Is that the endend . And she cried her way home. So were down to the two girls. I dont even like him anymore. When you hear him talk, he like puts her on a pedestal where he always talks about her saying she lets me be myself. He kissed her ring finger. Isnt that what he did . Please dont day me tell me youre paying that close attention. Suddenly because i dont like him now after he said i love you to two girls. Have you ever been in love with two people at the same time . No i have not. Is it possible . He sayses i think there is lust at the same time, but i dont think there is love. Ive been in lust with two people p. Lust is okay. We have to get here because this is big from the bronx to vegas, baby. Jennifer low pez sits down with us so my kids dont have to forage, got two jobs to pay a mortgage, and ive also got a brain. Lifes short, talk is cheap. Ill be working while you sleep. Still dont think ive got a brain . You think a resumes enough . Wholl step up when things get tough . Dont you want that kind of brain .

We go back and forth, we have a natural acting chemistry. I dont know. Our characters really just Work Together really well. And what is cool about your characters, you understand she starts off kind of she wants to do good for her daughter and her life. But she starts tiptoeing into the dark side. Its a slippery slope. Even when you have good sbepgs intentions you can make bad choices and youre like how did i get in this position. But i think what people know about harley already is that shes trying. Yeah. Always trying to do the right thing and sometimes we just dont. And with everything on your plate, when you found out this was picked up for a second celebrate oh, yay. Not true. I was very excited.

And i do like and everybody makes fun of me. I like the no makeup. Love to see the human part. But thats what i do. I do nothing. My goal is like to be with the kids more. And your vegas residency is its extended, as well. I went on the Opening Night. You were so much fun and my mom had so much fun with you. Can we show her dancing one more time . Your mom does not sit down. I was sitting near Justin Bieber and i said, no, i want to sit next to your mom. Look at her. Now you know where i get it from. She knows every word to every song. And a lot of choreography, as well. But shes so funny because she calls me afterwards when she gets back home and she go, jen, im kind of depressed. And im like why . And she said because i cant dance the way i used to. Shes always the life of the party and she said i said no, you were dancing like crazy. And she was like, no, i had to hold on to the railing. But i know what she means. What you used to do, you cant do anymore as you get older. And you have the final season of idol. You have a full plate. And going to be with us for one more segment.

Hey guys hey, finally, somebody i can look up to. Besides arnie. Xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, theres limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily p and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. P xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto and in rare cases, r get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. With xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto. Was the right move for us. Pask your doctor about xarelto.
