But so far theyre capturing it. We want to think them for that. Im so excited. I want you guys to stick around for the end of our show today because theres a beautiful great girl. Her name is victoria ryann. I went to a Cocktail Party and someone was singing. Shes adorable. Look at her. It was victoria. She writing her owner music. Shes just a teenager. Shes just a young girl. I thought, you know what would be fun . If she came and sang for us. Dont la, la, la, la, la, la. Shes got a big following online. I want to do more of this. Dont send us tapes. Were going to find you in our everyday life and try to bring you on the show. Well have our own the voice, all right . Why do we keep having this on People Magazine . Theres a reason. Celebrity Sorority Sisters and our own hoda is right there. Oh, well, i lost my dad at virginia tech. You dont notice what im saying because look at the lid. Without my Sorority Sisters, im not sure how i made it through. And it was very sudden with your dad. It was. Look how far youve come is basically the story there. Okay, all right. We want to follow up, you guys. We talked about dreams yesterday. When i heard your dream and you dreamt you had lots of gum in your mouth, i thought thats weird. Only kathie lee has that dream. Well, apparently there are a lot of freaks out there and we all stick together. She said ive been wearing that gum to bed ever since i wore the bite guard to bed. Sure its a bite guard. I dont even dream at all because of that stupid dream. What does it all mean . How sick am i . According to dreammoods. Com, if youre unable to get rid of gum it means youre experiencing indecisions, powerlessness and frustration. Its overwhelming, a met for for something youre trying to process. Like i really care . All right. So we talked to you yesterday about ronan farrow. This is mia farrows this is getting more fun all the time. This is mia farrows son and theres a possibility in quotes that he could have been Frank Sinatras boy, not woody allens son. They were married for a short time, two years. But they continued their relationship as friends and partners sexually long after the marriage ended. He has a great sense of humor. Its very obvious in his tweets. He said, listen, were all possibly Frank Sinatras son. If he was, he would have been 71 years old when he father thad child. Charlie chaplin had a child in his 90s. Some guys just wont let it go, if you know what im saying. That shows row nans sense of humor too. If you remember woody allen married his stepsister and ronan tweeted happy fathers day in case you dont remember it. Happy fathers day. Or as they call it in my family happy brotherinlaw day. Obviously the guy has a terrific sense of humor. Which you need if youre going to overcome lifes problems. Anyway, is this the most perfect celebrity body . Do a machine up of all of these people. Here they are. They took Jennifer Love Hewitt use boobs, victoria beckhams jaw line and scarlet johansens nose and came up with that. Weird looking. You know what . Tomorrow were having gina gershon on. Put gina gershons body on everything. You cant stop looking at her in this movie. I know shes doing cocaine and smoking up the storm and downing the wine and shes a mess but her body is unbelievable. Shell be with us tomorrow. Apparently we said the wrong thing. Its hollyscoop. Com in case youre looking around. Heres the thing. Yesterday we saw Kim Kardashians extensive cleavage. There they were. They said, well, whats happened here. This is trendy because Gwyneth Paltrow had a plunging blazer. Not quite the same effect. Miranda kerr had it as well. Is this a trendy thing or are people going way too far . This is a shot of Elizabeth Taylor from 1962, a shot from cleopatra. Theres another picture were looking for. I think it was on life magazine. We cant find it. It was like kims. It was from 1962. Do we have a different reaction . Elizabeth taylor was in costume to play a character. Is it more acceptable or understandable . It seems like everybodys pushing the envelope. We talked about miley cyruss wrecking ball and how much more naked she had boots on so she was not naked. We can show you. As it goes on, it changes. And then theres another video out with rihanna, and they say this is her most riske video ever. We cant show you much of this either, but i do like her music. Anyway, we cant show it. It does make you wonder i miss doris day. I miss doris day. You do . You know, and i miss annette funicello. Where the boys are we can go back to this topic in a minute. Since youre in the mood for music, what would be better than ihoda. Before we play this, if youre a new york states fan, whether youre 80 connie francis, sorry. Whether youre 80, 90, whether youre a teenager, black, white, theres a halftime song every new Orleans Saints fan knows. What if youre not a new Orleans Saints fan . Then youre going to enjoy it just because. Here it is. Its by the ying yang twins. Everyone knows this song. Okay, okay, okay, hold on. Look. I can feel it in the dome. The saints are doing so well too. Wake me when its over. Shoot me. Stand up and get crunk . What is crunk . Is that crazy drunk . What a lovely, lovely concept. The saints games are so fun. When this song cranks up we do have to talk about miley one second. She finally has spoken out. Shes going to be with us on monday. Shes going to be hosting saturday night live. But she spoke out in this new documentary thats on mtv called miley the movement. Ive never been like a normal person because like i had to grow up so quick because i had to do something that wasnt more for so long. I never felt more than i am than i am right now. I think thats like coming into your 20s. You can watch your performance in the vma and people think its a hot mess, but its a strategic hot mess. If i didnt want to come out as a raunchy girl, i wouldnt have come out like a damn bear. If youre going to make people talk, you might as well make people talk for two weeks rather than two seconds. Anyone whos ever said wheres her mother, right beside her, through good, bad, arguments, cry, i dont care what. Right there. I think she keeps me like less anxious because i do get so overwhelmed when im going to perform because everything has to be perfect. Her mother was there when she was doing the mtv award or the video award. It looked like it. Ive got to tell you, hearing there was some thought into it made me think it was not as icky. You know what people are not talking about so much is remember when britney had her meltdown . Her manager at that time was larry rudolph. I dont know if he still is but now mileys manager is larry i cant get any of these things straight. Its interesting to listen to her mom say ive been right here. I had a little bit of a different perspective. As a parent, you dont just love your children when theyre behaving and going to sunday school. You love them flat out. Its as close as well ever get to unconditional love. I want to sit down with tish and justins mother and kris jenner in a couple of weeks and talk about what you do as a mother when youre still youre going to be their mother no matter what and they start acting out and living a life contrary to the way you raised them. What are you going to do . All right, guys. Theyve been primp and pamper and theyre ready to show off their new looks. They look even more gorgeous.

The blazer is from macys and the jewelry is from vintage. All right. Thank you. The second lady is marsha bigler, 41 from pennsylvania. For the past five year shes been taking care of her daughter dominique whos been battling cancer. She made her mom wear where she thinks is her ugliest shirt so wed pick her. She hopes for a change.

Hoda and i are just very excited because our friend has come back to see us on this thursday thursday. Were talking about zachary levi like the jeans. Now you can catch zachary on the great right way on broadway. Its getting great reviews and tons of laughs for his role as aaron. Take a look. I have a hard time silencing my inner critic. Tell me about it. You too . My inner critic will not shut up right now. Really . What is it saying . Hes telling me how to get out of this date right now. Thats how to make friends. How are you . Im good. Im up. Im awake. On another thursday. Im not sure of the odds working out. Lets get tanked. Lets do it. I can easily get tanked now and get sober by the afternoon. I like the concept of this broadway show. Tell us a little bit about it. Its in the title. Its the first blind date between a guy and a girl at a new york restaurant. Its a date, half hour with no intermission. All the baggage you bring. All the other people in the restaurant double as the voices in our head, friends, exes, family, what have you. Its a lot of fun. Its a relatable romp that people can go, oh, my god, that happened to me on date. You do a little singing . Of course. A little dancing. I realized you had a big theater background but not on broadway. No, no. I grew up doing a lot of theater, all of that, and dreamed about doing broadway. Thats the top level, the top shelf. So its really a dream come true, bucket list kind of stuff, to live in new york and do broadway and stuff. Yeah, im having a blast. This is grueling. Kathie knows and everyone, its grueling work. How are you holding up . I do okay, i guess. Youve got to worry about your vocal cords. I suck on a lot of lozenges. I cant go to loud bars but theres a lot of unique challenges to it. How do you keep it fresher night . How do you make it fresh for you and the audience . How do you maintain a certain level of performance and keep your energy up . Theres a lot of prayer involved. God, help me. A lot of people dont talk about a relationship thats an ongoing having faith in your life. Oh, yeah. Its the most important part of it. Did this pull from some of your own history when it came to dating . You know, not really. Im not a big dater. I have gone on dates before, but typically i meet girls through groups of friends or, you know, you see if theres a connection. Dating is incredibly awkward and hard. I dont like pain in general. I dont like experiencing it. Youre in show business, hello. I have mental issues. I dont like painful experiences or causing people other pain and dating seems to be a breeding ground of pain. If its not working out, somebodys got be the one to pull the plug. I dont want the plug pulled on me if im into it and i dont want to pull the plug. One of the good guys in the world, hoda. One of the fine guys down the road if you ever get to actually meet him. You know what i like for voices . Grethers. Are those those pastels, the blackberry ones . You know what . Ive got some in my dressing room. Its my gift for opening night. The secret to your curiosity and respecting your kids. And the secrets to decor. And look at this wacky guy. Who is he . Why couldnt we leave him to the end . [ mom ] with my little girl, every food is finger food. So i cant afford to have germy surfaces. But after one days use, dishcloths can redeposit millions of germs. So ditch your dishcloth and switch to a fresh sheet of bounty duratowel. Look a fresh sheet of bounty duratowel leaves this surface cleaner than a germy dishcloth, as this black light reveals. Its durable, clothlike and its 3 times cleaner. So ditch your dishcloth and switch to bounty duratowel. The durable, clothlike pickerupper. When you think of autumn, you think of cooler weather, of course, Falling Leaves and rich deep hues. So today were bringing the outside in to warm up your house. Were bringing in a crazy guy, brooks atwood of home designs. Hello. I was tweeted by a tweet of his lid. You said it was i was styling my hair to match your bad hair day, but then you actually showed your Sorority Photo this morning so i thought this is perfect. This is all natural. How do you groom it . It just stays like that. It does. And ive got a solution about your gum dreams and your indecisions. Im going to make you make decisions fast. Weve got fall trims. We have three things were taking away. The couch. My dad says you never turn down an opportunity for a great story and thats where the couch comes in. You want the couch to be the focal point of your living room. For years everybody put it up against the wall. Thats not a good thing. No. Its like the kitchen island where everybody comes in to cook and smell. What about the walls . We could do some magic. Emerald green is an amazing color for fall. And go. Emerald green is totally trending right now and this one is mustard yellow. So thats the really super awesome color. Were going to show you how to bring those in. You should experiment with colors. This is fall. This is the time to go crazy. Look at your amazing dresses. Go crazy with color. Okay. What about lighting . Thats a key point. Lighting is key. Replace all your light switches with dimmers. Youve got to set the mood. A guy like you has to set the mood a lot. I do. Lets design like a rock star which is my motto and what i teach all my students. Were going to start with lighting. Grab a light and put it in a scene where you think it would balance out. You grab a lamp. Lets get a move on. Come on, hoda. Im trying. Light up the birdcage maybe. We want three pieces of lighting. Next is layers and texturing. Lets do the throw pillows. I like to add them on like this. Its a little mess,y, but no, its not. You want piles of books. Piles . Grab this green box. Where would you put them . You decide where you think is the best opportunity. I wouldnt tell hoda that. I like to organize my books by color. Theres extra matches on there for a kicker. You can organize by color. This is two separate things. Put this down. You want to mix the next thing thats critical is textures. Metals and wood. Of course, shes lining them up perfectly. Of course. Theres a dont tell me. There is. Watch yourself. The color is going great with the green. Here, here, put that somewhere. Put the burlap like you did this sack over here. Decorate with burlap. Burlap is great texture. Thats all thats good for. Now its getting too cluttered. This is from the military here, put the bowling pin in it. Personalize the space. Grab it. Youre not doing the flask. I think there may be even whiskey in these. Is it over . Its over. Food. Youve done it. Thank you, atwood. Cheers. Cheers. Heres to you. Yes, there is. Keep it up, you guys. Thanks for being with us.

This year alone, i hit new york and texas. See, hotwire checks the competitions rates every day so they can guarantee their low hotel prices. Men hotwire, hotwire. Com. Have you ever thought remember the old broadway song. Many are disrespectful, they talk back and dont give back. Parents may be partly to blame. Here with the lost secrets of therapy is gary neuman. Hello, neuman. And christine is an author and mother. Welcome to both of you. It seems to many a growing problem in our country today where children are almost lawless. Whats going on . Gosh. I think whats happening from the past is, you know, we think theres so much respect given and kids were told to shut up. Lets not have them be so respectful. Lets have them be more friendly. Its a mistake. Kids need a sense of structure and environmental thats solid. And limits. Limits that help them feel comfortable. Being able to respect their elders and parents is very important. I know you should start very, very early. An it seem is like youve got four children of your own. I do, yeah. After a certain point its hard to reteach. I think its like learning music or a language. The earlier the better. Once you hit a point, its hard to backtrack and get them to where you want them to be. Is it true . Weve had different psychologists and psychiatrists on who say if you dont get your kids to understand the basic principles by the time of 6 you have lost out on the window of opportunity. Is that true north . Its not true. You can always teach them later. For example, im not a fan of my friends being called by their first name. We shouldnt necessarily encourage that. Nothing wrong with mr. And mrs. Im not in favor of children interrupting their parents in front of a crowd. When i tell a story, god bless me if i make a mistake. I dont want my kid saying, dad, that didnt happen on monday. It happened on tuesday. Certain concrete thing, having a parent walk in the door before you or an older person. Its a respected kindless that you teach when youre young. I respect the meaning of somebody whos older than me. Its not hard. Its not Rocket Science either. I have way too many up to do. Kids dont need more friends. They have friends. They need their parents to be their parents. You want them to listen to and respect your wishes. You want to be in a respectful position. Whats the penalty . Lets say your child is disrespectful. What do you do with your kid. Im very big about timeouts and im very consistent. Do you take things away . I take things away. Look, im not perfect. So there are times i know you are. I try too do my best. Look. The thing is ive got so many kids running often, if im not consistent with one, the others make a run for it. Start with the oldest one. They have to be. They lose privileges, go to timeout. It happens. Tough love, babe. Thanks a lot between the two of you. Shes got a growing fan base, and because of hoda, its going to be bigger. Oh, my god. I met her at a party. Victoria ryann performs live. First this is today on nbc. All right. Back now with todays spotlight. We want to introduce you to a talented young lady with an incredible voice. Okay. I went to a party and i was hearing this music. I was like, whos playing this music. It was 17yearold victoria ryann. She taught herself to play the guitar when she was 13. I know your mom was kind of i wasnt even invited to the party. I just showed up. Your mom said i didnt know you were coming and i said i wasnt but i wanted to know who was singing and i walked back. You taught yourself . Yeah. I taught myself in the beginning. It was a way to deal with bullying . Yeah. I actually had a bullying experience with my best friend at the time and it was really difficult so i went to songwriting and it became such an outlet for me. You have such a cool musical taste. Do you enjoy norah jones or i like bob dylan. I love bob dylan. Most kids today dont even know bob dylan. And cher and ellie golden. I find myself listening to them a lot. Are you musical . My mom is. Shes an actress and a musician. You wrote something called cry me a river but not like Justin Bieber and a long time before that, julie london. Im kidding. Dont get mad at me if you like julie london. Youre going to play cry me a river . And im doing a little matchup. Okay. I get to figure out what youre losing ive never had a doubt trusting you somehow no confusion you would say im wrong but you proved me right and the tricks you love wont work this time so cry me a river but that wont help cry me a river cry for someone else because i wont sit around ill settle ill make you say nothing says that these games that you play will never, ever, ever never, ever, ever break me dada dada o, o, o ive got the eye of the tiger dancing through the fire because im a champion and youre going to hear me roar oh thats so nice.
