Today, but that highstakes stalemate is not getting any better. That fiscal cliff, just 29 days until everyones taxes go up and the white house and congress are absolutely deadlocked right now. Both sides seeming farther apart than ever. Both sides saying, its your turn to blame. Well see what happens. Also this morning, startling video. Its a little tough to watch but it is okay. Its a prank by a Television Host setting this magicians hair on fire. Now, the magician is okay. Hes recovering in the hospital. Wow. What . But he is accusing the host of that show of a criminal act. Looking at that videotape, its hard to believe this was any kind of a stunt, as the host claims. Hard to believe hes okay. Thank goodness hes okay. Wow, also ahead on the show. Very special guest today. Heidi klum is with us live. Heres what she was up to this weekend. Looking so glorious. You remember that was supposed to be her halloween costume. Hurricane sandy put it on hold and she did a wonderful benefit. To help those who needed it. Shell be appearing in full facial crystal this morning. Is she . Im just kidding. Im wearing mine now. Well find out in a little bit. Just kidding. Cant you tell. To storms slamming the west. Sam has the latest on that. I mean, five days, you think about it, november 27th, these folks have had backtoback storms. About 150mileperhour wind gusts in the mountains. Even on the shorelines, a good 70, 70mileanhour winds. Pictures like this, with trees down. Youve had boulders in the middle of the roads. Roads closed. Flooding, power lines down. When you look at the rainfall totals its exactly what we expected out of this triplehit of storms. Monterey coming out with more than 18 inches of rain. All the way into the San Francisco area, almost 4 inches of rain in that time period. Three storms shoving that rain up against the coastline. Give that rain a lift and you get the total, 12 to 18 inches of rain as a threeevent total in those areas. Today is a little break. Today is the day you scrape the mud off. You get the trees out of the way. You try to get the power back on and our cecilia vega is just east of San Francisco area this morning. Good morning. Reporter hey, sam, good morning to you. Boy, you said it. To see the mess this series of storms has caused, take a look at this. Outside of San Francisco, as you said, massive piles of debris. This huge hole in the middle of this neighborhood. These people have a long way to go before they recover from this storm. From falling trees crushing this car in oregon, to rocksides outside of sacramento, to rivers raging in reno, and flooded streets along the coast, up to one foot of rain, heavy winds and flooding caused by three storms in less than a week have left the west coast a soggy mess. In the usually scenic napa valley, the triple whammy left vineyards under water. And giant trees came dangerously close to pancaking even more cars right before our eyes. We were literally driving down the road when this giant tree came toppling on to this road. How close did this come to you . It was within feet of my truck. Reporter you were driving down the road . I was driving down the road. Reporter in the mountains that pounding rain made for a beautiful winter white backdrop. But in other parts, like this neighborhood east of San Francisco, the cleanup is only beginning. And, boy, the cleanup here will sure take a long time. Now all eyes turn to this storm headed here tomorrow. Sam . Yeah, its just a minor dry day, cecilia. We know that the next system does drag on later on tonight. So this momentary dry. Even in that momentary dry patch, youll get mist and showers going on. Then later on tonight, into tomorrow, another wave of rain. Weve seen the storms come off the pacific and move across the northwest. This will move all the way through march. Its interesting to see how big these storms will get as this one started larger than normal. Elizabeth . All right, sam, thank you so much. Turning to other tragic story over the weekend. Breaking new details in the nfl tragedy in kansas city. Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher fatally shooting his girlfriend and then taking his own life. Just 24 hours later, the team finding the strength to get back on the field. Abcs John Schriffen is in kansas city with the latest on this story. John, good morning to you. Reporter elizabeth good morning. Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel said overnight he made the decision to play the game to help his players take their minds off their, quote, misery for a few hours. But this morning, police and nfl players and friends try to figure out why belcher took his life so violently. Abc news has learned he regularly visited gun ranges. And had multiple weapons in his home. Abc news has learned that Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher not only owned guns but he and his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins used them recreationally. I knew before she was pregnant that they liked to go to the gun range and shoot. And that it was a lot of fun for both of them. Reporter police said belcher turned one of those guns on perkins, reportedly nine times at the home they shared with their 3monthold daughter. The child was spared. Police said the 25yearold then drove to kansas city arrowhead stadium. Thanked his coaches for believing in him and shot himself as they watched in horror. Its hard to believe you can go out and focus on football in the wake of such a devastating situation. Reporter overnight, a somber and at times, silent stadium. Lets join the Chiefs Organization in a moment of silence. Reporter players and fans mourned belcher and perkins. Its tough. I miss him, you know. Hes a he was a great guy. A great teammate. Reporter yet even as the team gathered after the game, questions swirled about what could have set belcher off. When any person has an issue or has problems, if theyre not totally honest with you about their issues or their problems, then you cannot give them the correct help. Reporter belcher had no history of Domestic Violence and while playing football at the university of maine he joined the male athletes against violence initiative. Student athletes who signed up said they would educate themselves on issues surrounding Domestic Violence. The couple reportedly argued in the hours before the shooting about a concert perkins attended friday night. Briana york knew them both. She said that while they occasionally fought, they always reconciled. Their last time that they had their little fight, she left for a few days, but she didnt like move out. She just took a little space. She was never planning to just leave. Now, some are now questioning if belcher has undiscovered head injuries, something the team has denied. John, thanks very much. Were turning to the high stakes stalemate some washington over the fiscal cliff. Everyones taxes go up. Massive spending cuts take hold in just 29 days if the white house and congress cant reach a deal. And they are barely talking right now. Abcs jon karl has the latest. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george. With less than a month to go, the two sides are as far apart as they have ever been. Overnight, the president released a new campaignstyle video aimed squarely at republicans. We need to get tax relief to working families. Reporter this morning, about the only thing that the two sides agree on is that going over the socalled fiscal cliff would be a big blow to the economy. It would be very damaging to average americans. Theres no doubt about it. Going over the cliff will hurt our economy, will hurt our job creation in our country. Its not fair to the american people. Reporter without a deal to cut the deficit, almost everybodys income taxes will go up january 1st. Its more than that. There will be automatic cuts to defense, to medicare doctors, to unemployment benefits. And that could mean another recession, but right now, i would say were nowhere. Period. Were nowhere. Reporter the white house is Standing Firm on taxes. Rates have to go up. Whose taxes are you going to raise . Rates are going to have go up on wealthy americans. Reporter in addition to 1. 6 trillion in tax hikes, the white houses latest offer includes 400 billion in unspecified medicare cuts and no limit on how much the government can borrow. The republican response . I was just flabbergasted. I looked at him and said, you cant be serious. Reporter two prominent republicans told me that House Republicans may ultimately give in to the president on extends just those middle class tax cuts. If they do that, george, without a deal on spending, the president would get nothing else and face another big battle early in the year over the debt limit and what the government can borrow. To josh with the top stories. Good morning all of you. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton has issued a new warning about possible u. S. Involvement in syria. Clinton traveling in europe today warned the Syrian Government that the United States will respond if dictator Bashir Al Assad deploys chemical weapons in the fight against rebel forces in his country. Recent reports indicate there has been new activity at syrias chemical weapons sites. The other developing story right now from that highway disaster in japan. You see the latest video here from inside that tunnel that collapsed, sending concrete panels crashing down on cars, killing nine people. Investigators now believe a single bolt that was supposed to hold those panels in place may have rusted and become loose. Crews are now inspecting tunnels across the country, looking for any more faulty bolts. Meanwhile, here at home, the fbi has revealed new information about a suspected crosscountry serial killer. 34yearold israel keyes was being held for the kidnapping and murder of an alaska coffee shop worker. Keyes died in jail over the weekend. Now, the fbi confirms hes been linked to at least four murders in Washington State and one in new york. And, they say, he confessed to killing a vermont couple missing since last year. Meanwhile, ford has announced a new recall this morning. Thousands of ford escape suvs and ford fusion sedans have been recalled because the engines can overheat and catch fire. Only the 2013 model, the 1. 6 liter engines are affected. And finally, regardless of how bad you think your commute might be this morning. Theres always this to make you feel better about yourself. In russia, an early season snowstorm created the mother of all tieups, stranding thousands of people along one of the main routes from moscow to st. Petersburg. At its worst, this traffic jam stretched for about 125 miles. Which i like to call a parking lots. No, those poor people. Those poor people. And you thought your commute was bad. And you thought yeah. Thats bad. Thats bad. Thats bad. Three days is bad. Sure it. Well make a turn now to that desperate search for an 11yearold cancer victim whose life may be in danger. Last week, her parents slipped her out of a hospital early, leaving her medication behind, and a catheter still attached to her chest. Abcs Abbie Boudreau has the latest. Reporter this morning, the fbi and Phoenix Police say this 11yearold cancer patient could be in grave danger. Theyve been searching for her for the last five days. And time, they say, is of the essence. We have a patient that has gone missing. Reporter these are the last images of young emily, captured on hospital surveillance cameras just moments before her mother snuck her out of phoenix childrens hospital. Emily had been in the hospital for a month, receiving treatment for leukemia and recently had her arm amputated. She was only hours away from being released. When emily follows her mother into a hospital restroom. Her i. V. Machine in tow. Police say thats when her mother removed the i. V. From emilys chest catheter herself which doctors fear could lead to a serious infection. We understand it could be a matter of days where the infection could take over and emily could die. Reporter both then exit the restroom and walk out of the hospital. Emily wearing different clothing. Her father then drives them away in a black ford minivan. Her parents could face neglect or endangerment charges. Police say theyre searching in arizona, california, and getting help from the fbi in mexico. Law enforcement has to walk a fine line. If theyre too threatening and the parents can disappear, the childs life can be in danger. Our heart goes out to 11yearold emily. All we want is for her to try to get medical help.

It was depressing, terribly. You know, and in the cell for 23 hours out of 24. And hard. Accused of murder . Nothing to do. Yeah. Yeah. Couldnt believe it. And now, mr. Sheehan, the prosecutors have said insufficient evidence. Do you understand how it got this far . It got out of hand, the prosecutors corrected it. All the credit go to the l. A. D. A. s office. Lois, what do you think happened to your husband . I wasnt there. Poor thing. I beat myself up all the time if i had been at home, i could have helped him. But i wasnt. And its just hard for me to realize that hes gone, i miss him. Have you had the chance to grieve . No. No. They were just on my case from the beginning. Do you have any sense of how this could all have happened . I was shocked, you know. The last thing i ever thought was that id ever get arrested. Especially in new york. How 0 could they arrest me . I didnt do anything. And they have all the stories written up about you in the newspaper. It must have felt like they were talking about another person . Yes, i cant believe it. Id see my name in the newspaper. Id see clips on the news. Can you address the charges that were made, the possible murders that were set out . We knew, before we even met her. We had met with her family, they were unwavering that they didnt do this. We knew we had to get to the bottom of it and pretty quickly because she was in custody. This idea that she was having an affair was preposterous and ridiculous. And after living an entire life with nothing like this ever said about you. I think, my goodness, how can someone possibly cope with that . I didnt have a choice. You either give up or you stay strong. My kids said to me, mom, i never realized you have so many friend. And ive met people all over the world from the officiating that ive done. And i got an email from one of them, it was during the u. S. Open, were behind you. We believe that you would never do anything like that. This case was dismissed without prejudice. That means charges could still be brought in the future . There wont be. No question . No question.

Little jillian feeding the dolphins at sea world when one suddenly leaps out of the water and bites her. Were going to talk to jillian and her parents in an abc news exclusive in just a moment. But first, lets take a look at what happened. Reporter 8yearold Jillian Thomas said it was her dream to one day become a dolphin trainer. There you go reporter but a recent visit to sea worlds dolph fin cove exhibit may change her mind. Mom, im out of fish. Oh reporter watch again as jillian holds a paper tray and holds it away from the pool. Something sea world warns guests not to do. The dolphin leaping at her hand, leaving behind puncture wounds. They do feel sea world downplayed the entire incident. In a statement to abc news, sea world says, educators and animal care staff are always onsite at this area. They were at the attraction when this happened and immediately connected with the family. Our guests are given clear instructions on how to feed the dolphins in an appropriate and safe way. And were joined by Jillian Thomas and her mother and her father, amy and jamie and little brother james. Good morning. Thanks for all of you being here this morning. Jillian, i know you love dolphins. You were so excited to go to this exhibit, right . Yes. Why do you love them so much . Because i know about them a lot. And i just wanted to train them so then i could probably know more about them. In fact, this was the second time, the day that you got bitten, that was the second time youd been to that exhibit to see the dolphins, you were so excited, right . Yeah. What happened . You had just got finished feeding them. What did you do . There was this little carton. I had just finished it off. I pulled it up. When the dolphin saw that, it leaped at me and bit me and ate the carton. What did that feel like . It really, really hurt. And im 13450ur it was a scary moment, right . Yeah. Jamie, you were videotaping this whole thing, and you actually thought you might have to jump in the water for a second . Yeah, there was instant fear, and i thought, wow, i may have to lunge at or pull dolphin or pull her or get physically involved. Amy, you had read the signs that clearly did warn you not to lift up the carton, right . We were given instructions. I dont remember seeing signs. There may very well have been. But they did go into detail about the rules. And he did just fine the first time. I think the second time, she was excited. Plus, she was trying to clean up. So she wasnt waving it over. Even though that was still against the rules, you might hear on the video, im don or out of fish. She just forgot. It was a simple mistake, unfortunately, she got bit. How did employees of sea world react when this happened . They first didnt realize she was hurt and asked if we wanted to have a positive experience with the dolphins. You see everybody around jillian sort of react in horror when the dolphin jumps out of the water . Yeah, i think the girl that helped us was behind and may not have understood the severity of it is my guess. My response is, they looked at her hand, which you can still see that her skin was broken. And then she offered to get first aid. Okay. So you got bit right here and here . Yeah. Around her thumb there. Okay. They asked if we wanted first aid, i said, shes bleeding, okay. Yes, we want first aid. You were actually worried, jillian, that something bad might happen to the dolphin . Yes. What were you afraid of . I was afraid that the dolphin might get sick because of the paper. Did it eat the paper carton that you were holding . I am very sure. Yeah. Your mother said you were actually praying that the dolphin was okay. Two nights she prayed for the dolphin. No hard feelings for the dolphin . Yeah, she was aware, you know, she had broken the rule. So we just realized this. We knew this was the first time it happened once we did some research. Basically, you just feel that kids shouldnt be in an exhibit like this . You watch the video, it seems like its a pretty innocent move that jillian makes at the end . We recognize we were instructed that way. Kids maybe just dont understand the risks as much as an adult would. Jillian, were happy that youre okay, were so glad you still like dolphins. Especially shimmer and strawberry that you brought in the studio this morning. Thank you so much. James, hey, Merry Christmas both of you guys. I hope santa is good to you this year. Thank you.

Were back to that twitter world between leann rimes and brandi glanville, of the real housewives of beverly hills. Rimes is the step mother to glanvilles two kids. Paula faris has the latest. Reporter leann rimes used to be known for singing country songs about fights. But lately, the mega star has been grabbing headlines for a different kind of scuffle. On friday, the vocal powerhouse started a fire in the twitter sphere saying, quote, flying out with my boys in a few hours. Love that its a family tour weekend. Its always more fun when they are with me. The boys in question, her husband, Eddie Cibrian and his two sons from his first marriage to reality star brandi glanville. Glanville saw the tweet, responded someone is trying to get under my skin by calling my children her boys. So transparent. They are my boys. Eddies boys and your stepsons for now. As the weekend went on, rimes posted the faceless pictures. Of her family. And glanville responding im taking a moment from twitter to breathe and punch some pillows. They need to be able to communicate with one another, not at one another. Leann and brandi had a long and tense history since 2009 when leann cheated with brandis then husband, rimes costar in a television movie. We have two wonderful kids half the time. Reporter rimes isnt the first celebrity to create friction. Actress Bridget Moynahan learned she was pregnant with her ex tom bradys son. She was hurt when Gisele Bundchen told vanity fair she loved the child the same as mine. Its that title, the role, the identity that makes the biological mother feel threatened. Reporter for Good Morning America, paula faris abc news, new york. That can be a rocky terrain. All right. Switching gears now, if youre putting on lipstick as you watched this, have you ever thought whats in lipstick . Yes. Yes, i know, josh, you wanted to know. Heidi was going to tell us but she doesnt know either. So were all wondering, does it contain lead . If it does contain lead, whether that is a problem. Abcs consumer correspondent Elisabeth Leamy went behind the Beauty Counter to find out what might be lurking in our lipstick. I cant believe im actually doing this. Reporter in movies like the Breakfast Club and clueless when the characters apply lipstick, it transforms them. Im gonna be a supermodel reporter but can lead in lipstick cause changes, too . We brought 22 different lipsticks and glosses and brought them to Underwriters Laboratories for lead testing. We get down to the parts per million and billion. Reporter u. L. Found 12 of the 22 samples, 55 contained trace amounts of lead. That may sound worrisome, but its not illegal because there is no federal lead limit for cosmetics. The industry created the standards and they abide by them pretty regularly. Reporter we found lead levels ranged from no detectable levels to 3. 22 parts per million. Thats below the limit for lipstick in california. And its progress because its less than what the food and Drug Administration tested lipstick in 2010. But antilead activists say manufacturers should remove all lead from their lipsticks. Thats the upside of that. Half of them do contain lead, but half of them dont. Proving its possible to make lipstick without lead. Reporter activists warned that a woman wearing lipstick can pass lead to her baby internally when shes pregnant, but nobody knows if the amount is significant. The fda considers small amounts of lipstick safe. But another government agencies, the centers for disease control, says there is no safe level in a childs body. What we know now is, even the lowest levels of lead can harm your i. Q. , your behavior, your ability to learn. And so we want to make sure that its out of everything that is in the environment of children. Reporter the cosmetics industry counters that worrying about trace amounts of lead and lipstick distracts from other much greater risks. If youre really serious about the Public Health aspects of lead poisoning, you wouldnt be looking at lipstick. You would be looking at locations where children live. Do they live near Hazardous Waste dumps . Are they chewing leadcontaining paint fragments . Reporter its a difficult debate which may leave women pursing their lips, wondering what to do. For Good Morning America, Elisabeth Leamy, abc news, massachusetts. All right. If youre not baffled enough, if you want to try to avoid lead in lipstick without wearing it, its tough to do. We compared Department Store lip six to drugstore lipsticks. We compared reds to pinks, asian made to american made, lipstick to gloss. And found no pattern as to where the lead may pop up. Go figure. Lara . All right, thank you. Now, its time to play the newest game here at Good Morning America. Whats it called . Heres how it works. We have four models. They all have different body types. We have two purses for each of them. Ill try to pick which purse is right for that body type. Were happy to have the tracy, the contributing style ed dor of Glamour Magazine with us to explain how it works. Lets begin. The first model is vanessa, shes on the petite size. Weve got two great choices, one is an oversize bag from open sky. Com. And a smaller version. 48. I get to pick the bag that i think would look best for you . Thats right. I think the more petite bag would be more proportional. Thats right, lara. Is that it is you got the perfect fit. I think a lot of women might be thinking, the bigger my handbag is, the smaller by booty looks. These are the same details on the bags. A nice red color, but a little on the smaller size. Next up we have she has a pearshaped figure. Were looking at evening bags here. We have this teeny, tiny clutch with a crossbody strap. Or a bigger clutch with an envelope shape. Let me see this. Oh, im going with this. I think thats it. Lets open it up and see how you did, lara. Lets see. Ding, ding, ding perfect fit. I dont know, it just feels right. It is right. The reason it works so well for a pear shape, it draws your eye upward. Rather than a Crossbody Bag which works like an arrow drawing your eye to the fullest part of your figure. This is going to draw your eye to the top half which is your slimmest part. 68. Its a great choice for holiday parties. Yeah, i love is that. Are you saying the cross if we dont want people looking here, we should not have those . Exactly. Just like Everything Else in the wardrobe, want to draw your eyes away from that part. And to your favorite part. Next, we have tall model. If you have a tall body, lauren is our model and your choices are . For lauren, weve either got this magenta bag from olivia and joy. With a short strap. Or ivanka trump handbag. I just love that pink. For no other reason than im wearing it. Try again. Cant win them all. In laurens case, it is the tote bag. A short bag gets lost on a tall girl. You want to play up your stature. Makes her look even more supermodel than she does. Finally, katie. Katie has two bags. Tell me why these two. Weve got a slouchy hobo and and great framed bag. What do you think . I think its this one. No well have more details on the website. We want to thank Glamour Magazine.

In the past years, youve dressed up as an ape, a crow, a hindu goddess and cleopatra this year. I did one in new york, a monkey, i also did it in las vegas i was the invisible woman. Basically youd see when you take the skin off how the body looks underneath with the veins. You have the photo. This year, i wanted to be pretty. I thought i was ugly last year. This year, i want to be pretty. Sparkles all over the face. The costume weighed 60 pounds. Look at your face. Yeah. The crystals all over. How long did that take you . The very famous makeup artist, he does movies and special effects, he basically builds a few different patches that you can glue on the face. He literally singlehanded put these on there. The dress was easy. You know, my team prepared before. Theyre so great. What does your kids think of this costume . They think im a little wild. Just a little. The monkey, they couldnt really see my face in there. The body, the invisible body might have been scary for the little ones. Yeah, but they thought it was funny. This one you did in partnership with the American Red Cross and aol and with patch all to benefit the victims of Hurricane Sandy . Yes, because it happened, you know, on the day of halloween or the night before. So then i thought, now, im going to want to do this party and have something great come out of this, i partnered with aol, the red cross, patch. And really make phone calls and have 200,000 worth of goods that they need. The red cross is so amazing. First response, something happens, they really take care of the people. And it was great. Yesterday, i went to lindenhurst and another small town outside of new york city. And people are so appreciative of everything you can give. Theres so much need there, even now. Its really hard. And some of the stories that i heard there. Theres one family that has five children. They dont have a home anymore. When you hear that, its really touching. So anyone who can do anything, they still need things now, even though its so many weeks after. People still need things. As a mom of four, you can amplify with that . Of course. Everyone has a room, their toys. Christmas is coming up and now theyre sleeping on a friends couch and all huddled together. Its a hard time. Its so great that you did that to benefit the victims.

It was fun. It looks like a lot of fun. You did definitely give 200 , not only to that, but to the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Thanks. And for your benefit. That was great. And we loved the costume.

[ tires screeching ] reporter looks like a carjacking, doesnt it . But its actually a Hotel Parking in st. Louis posted on youtube. The valet parker probably got hired last week.

You yell at your daughter in a way i dont like. Reporter youll do it with a straight face . Absolutely. Reporter thompson said its a myth that hotel maids steal your stuff, but that doesnt mean they wont look through. The bags on the bed. In fact, its possible for them to go through. Thats why i would recommend them using the hotel safe. Reporter but safe is a relative term. Into the safe and out goes the cash. Next, we head to the bathroom where he reveals another secret. Its covered, all right . Thats exactly what they want. Oftentimes, these are clean, with what they have available which is going to be shampoo reporter youre saying its not like these were in the dishwasher . No, these are staying in here and theyre going to be cleaned in here. Jacob thompson joins us now with groans. Is that really true . Yeah, i worked in housekeeping for quite a while. Either that or shampoo in the sink, you fill it up with hot water and put the shampoo in there. What made you do a book here . I guess that would do it . Ten years in the business, i saw and heard it all with crazy stories from guests i thought id write a book to encapsulate that with tips and tricks.
