The weekend, how many total calls when you, by mistake, showed your telephone number on thursday morning . I think we had and they they cut it off i think after we cut it off after a couple hours, i think there were about 4,000 texts and i think in phone calls i dont know how it works when your mailbox gets full and everything gets jammed. I hate my phone because first of all i finally like mine. I hate mine. Now mine freezes and its jammed ip and its a mess all the time. Because of what happened . I think. It didnt do that before. It didnt used to. Sad. And i. T. People are like, its broken. In fairness in fairness to the iphone, every single time i try to leave you a voicemail, you are your voicemail is full. All the time, hoda. All day. Always. I did fix it. I fixed it. Heres the weird thing, you dont realize how many people dont have your number who need it. The lady who walks my dog, shes here, and no one can call you or theres a food delivery downstairs and they dont have my cell or whatever. Yes. You know what, but lovely thing can happen along the way, too, and that is you can finally get rid of some of the people you dont want to have your phone number. Thats the good thing. They dont know who they are. They do now. They do now. Oh. If you dont have hodas new cell phone number, thats because she doesnt want you to. There you go. Yeah. Jay leno apparently had fun with this whole thing. Lets see. Lets see, hoda woman. And on the today show yesterday hoda accidentally showed her phone number on national tv. Yeah. She got a watch. Youll see this. Immediately she started getting phone calls and texts from people within seconds. Heres the story. Nothing is crazier than this thing. This is a samsung. Check it out. Here it is. I have it too. I wonder if my phone is going to ring. Is it ringing . Its ringing. Hold the phone. Oh, oh. My phone number. Now whats happening . People are calling my number. [ laughter ] oh. Oh, my god. Oh. That al. Did you let al know your new phone number. Als always got my phone number. So you had a good weekend with your mom. I did. Did you have a nice weekend . Beautiful weekend. So gorgeous. Im outside every single moment. I started looking around going, who can i share this with today . Our spot is so beautiful. Gorgeous. Most beautiful place on earth. It is. I called some friends and i wanted you but you were gone. I filled it up with friends. I bet you did. Frank and i have nothing to say to each other anymore, honestly. We sit there. Love each other very much, but what do you talk about, really . At some point. Ive got the dog. He takes the dog. We talk about the dog. And then we go oh, look at that boat. And then thats it. Thats it. So i have to invite interesting people over. I love that. I love that. Speaking of interesting people, we have cee lo green on the show with us. We do. He has a new book out. Steve harvey on our show today. Love steve harvey, he is the best. Miley cyrus, we talked about her last week. You saw her twerking on stage with robin thicke. Yeah. Well apparently ana wintour took notice and decided she twerked herself off the cover of vogue. They planned on putting miley on the cover of the december issue. Nothing says christmas like that. Anyway, vogue isnt commenting on it. They dont comment on future editorials. What do you think about her . If thats the case . For every action theres a reaction. I think shes probably stunned shes gotten so Much Negative reaction. I think she thought she was going to make history in a good way, being taken very seriously as an edgy performer. Almost like shes hell bent on making people forget that she was ever somebody called hannah montana. Yes. Thats sad. She made a lot of people happy, you know. Kids loved her and loved that show and it made her a fortune. Yeah, it did. And changed everybodys fortunes in her family and friends. I think instead of running from your past, you should sort of embrace it and say yeah, i was a kid, grateful to be a disney star. Look at annette funicello. She was graceful. Justin timberlake. It is possible. Yeah. If youre talented you dont have to be vulgar and it always breaks my heart when i see a talented person act vulgar. They feel like they cant get attention. One thing people did learn from watching miley cyrus is what is twerking. A lot of people are going what is twerking . Well a lot of people are trying it out themselves. Twerking is when you shake your behind. A little more than that. Anyway. Simulated porn kind of. Heres a viral video we want to show you. We want to point out the girl did not get hurt. Take a look. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Shes fine. Her pants caught on fire. Shes good. Thats hot. Oh, my gosh. Wow. Was that her roommate . She was twerking. Interesting moves, though. Hey if frank is still watching ill try that out tonight instead of just watching the boats go by. Thats not the part you want to see again. Oh, my gosh. What kind of sweatpants she has on that catches fire so quickly. Oh, my gosh. That looks fun. Crazy. Okay. Wow. Serena, congratulations to her. Watched that match. That match was unbelievable. Victoria azarenka. In the open, serena had not lost a set. It was almost a bore when she got on the court. When they said this girl is going to have a lot of trouble with serena, et cetera. First set, serena takes, second set her opponent takes. It was a nail biter. I love tennis matches like that. Apparently i heard them say serena has only lost four times past year and twice to azarenka. Serena, quite the tension there. Im almost sure i saw serena in that same outfit playing Sloane Stephens just a couple like a week ago. You can rewear outfits. Good luck. I was just surprised. Maybe shes got tons and tons i was surprised. Guess who is on tonight . Oh, my gosh. Nadal. Watch his setup. Thats all i can do is watch it. He picks his behind. You ruined it for me. Its mesmerizing. Picks his wedgy and pulls this up. Pulse this. This ear, this nose, and back every time. Wedgy, ear, nose. Wedgy. On and on. It will make you crazy when you watch tonight. When you double fault, you know, its like you did it, you double faulted. Its not working. You know. I guess some people are just what is the word for that . Like a ritual. What . Ocd or just enjoys it. I used to dribble three times before i shot a foul shot, one, two, three. You didnt always miss your foul shots. I missed them a lot. Whatever it worked. Lets talk about the chicken wings. This is so exciting. This is our favorite part of the chat. Okay. Mcdonalds mcdonalds has come out with a new mighty wings rolling out in restaurants starting today. Heres the best thing about it. Were nbc news. We have to try it out. We have all kinds of dipping sauces. You like the small part of the wing . I like it all. I like the big chunky. There are nine different dips. What are the dips . Do we know . Youll tell me. You just ate it. Barbecue. Oh, god. Were sorry you dont have a piece to enjoy with us right now. Anyway, limited through november. I think its a test. Wow. Its hot. Spicy. Oh. Try another sauce. You dont like sauces . Whats wrong with you . Youre not in the mood . I like sauces. I like them too much. Ask my hips. The other thing i like. Heres our favorite thing. Somebody sent me this granola a couple months ago, had it sitting two weeks ago i tried it. Its called good news granola, maple pecans and coconut. This what is i love. On the top it says, the Company Founder is i guess this guy, i know isnt it hot . Hot. The wings are hot. All right. Anyway anyway, she, shes quoted on each. Keep going. Quoted on each. My dream this little Granola Company will allow me to spend my days with my boys, land a spot on the today, buy a jeep with wood panels and have a life of joy and contentment. Lots of great sayings on the back. Its delicious. If you are looking for an excellent hair product you can get in the drug store. Did i not say this to you this morning your hair looked amazing. Even before i knew you were going to say something. Its called miracle 10 leavein conditioner. This one has keratin in it. Theres a pink bottle that has no keratin. Put it in your hair after you shampoo it. Laura who does our hair said oh, my god, its so much smoother. Its a little its 20 bucks. Last week you were trying to get keratin. I know. But isnt it great . Its about 20. Get it at the drug store.

Lets watch them make out. Here it comes. And go. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, my god. Theyre twerking. Honestly. Oh, my god. Blake is going to lose the cover of dog and life because of that twerking. He wasnt thinking. There are reactions to when you act like that. Im sorry. Oh, my god. Okay. Now i have a problem. That is delicious. So delicious. Is that your phone ringing, hoda . No. Probably not us. It might be in a few minutes when we call our next fan of the week. And singer cee lo green is here to share his voice and he gets very personal, coming up right after this. Unforgettable songs like forget you and crazy have earned cee lo green grammy wins. Now after their selfimposed season long hiatus, he and cnna are about to be reunited and it feels so good adam and blake as judges on nbcs top rated, we love to say that show, the voice. Hes also the author of a book about his life called everybodys brother and hes with us his sisters today. We brought your cat so you would feel i thought it was a dog. Theyre cats. Sorry. You know youre the only one for me, babe. Perfect. How did that come about what happened to the bird . Lady bird . Shes still around. She is. We want evidence. How does it feel to be back on the voice . We missed you last season. Thank you. So many people have said that. Im very happy about it. I love the show. I really do. I really enjoy it. What did they say . They just needed you . Got to have you back . No. Actually what happened was it was preplanned. This was the first preliminary, they wanted to work into it, swap out coaches. Mix it up. And i also wanted to do something separate. You wanted to tour. I wanted to tour, do vegas for two months, planet hollywood. Time well spent. Definitely. You know, you had, obviously, a long career before the voice and a lot of people are getting to know you from this show. Yeah. One of the things i didnt know, i know you wrote a lot of songs, that pussycat doll song dont you wish your girlfriend was hot like me did you write that . I did. Like a little cameo way at the end of the video. Real quick. But you are not an overnight success, are you . Im not. Youve had quite the road. You write candidly about your mom growing up and some of the struggles you had. Tell us about them. Was any of it hard to share . No. Im very very open and honest and truly i mean maybe it wouldnt be worth a mention if it were not such a testimony, you know. To the perseverance . Exactly. Endurance. Exactly. Even at this very short, early stage of my life, i thought that it was probably a cool time to express some of it. You went from being a tough guy, thats kind of an understatement. You were stealing things from people. You were naughty. Stealing jewelry. Yes. Thats how he got those teeth. And then what turned the beat around for you . I think it was definitely my mother, before she passed away, she was injured in an accident. She was deemed quadriplegic and she was bedridden about three years before she ultimately passed due to the complications of it. I really felt very helpless and i did not want her life and death to be in vain and i knew she had had some very, you know, big hopes for me to be someone. Did she know you had the singing talent . I remember my sister telling me. My sister became a registered nurse. My grandmother was also a nurse. And your mom was a firefighter. First africanamerican firefighter female. We took care of her at home. My sister told me once she wanted to kind of listen to the album, my first album, like 1995, soul food, wanted to listen to it all the way through and my sister was getting married, pregnant with her first child, felt like her kids were going to be fine and i think she made peace with it. Wow. What was your big breakthrough moment when you became kind of mainstream . Was it l. A. Reed. Is he the one that helped you . Hes been a mentor and Something Like a father to me, yes. When him and also kenneth baby face edmonds formed their label face and they set up shop in atlanta, georgia, that was a big break for our city. Sure. Put you on the map. We had a communal approach to doing music. We were all kind of a happy bunch of characters. Everybody showed up on each others albums. Yeah. We all went to high school together, everything. Thats why youre everybodys brother. Thats right. Wish we had more time. Were glad youre back. Its okay. Its okay. Youre the best. You guys look gorgeous as usual. Thank you.

When we catch you up on the hollywood gossip you may have missed. From the super bowl to the super stars making headlines with the celebrity scoop is our friend brian. Hes the editor of pop goes the week. Every time i come here you never offer me booze. This week im bringing my own. No wine for me. We always offer. Okay. So anyway, what do you want to talk about . Can you smell it . Scotch. Only enough for one . Plenty enough for everybody. This might be one serving. We got more. Talk bruno mars. You turn to me for the latest in sports news. Bruno mars going to be performing at the super bowl halftime show in february. I love that. Why would everyone be upset about that . Hes so talented. This is one of the first super bowls, the first super bowl in the new york area, by that we mean new jersey, so some people wanted a more new york centric artist. Hes not from new york. Like bon jovi. Springsteen did it in 2009. Its fine. So but i dont think bon jovi ever has, has he . I think he might have. Hes only had two albums so he has fewer songs to draw upon. He has a lot of hits off the album. Anybody that sees him at an awards show he brings it. Remember when he did snl he was so talented. And he can do impressions of other singers. I think he will do other covers or have a lot of guests. He will put on a great show. Lets talk 50 shades how did rehab go over the weekend . I fell. So people have had their panties in a bunch about the casting for 50 shades of grey as you know. I think it should have been gilbert gottfried. Im going around you now. He read the audio book as a joke online. Thats funny. Charlie is finally speaking about the casting of 50 shades of grey and said there was tangible chemistry between him and dakota johnson. When they did a screen test. There has to be a makeout test when doing this movie. You have to do a couple scenes. Exciting, fun, weird and compelling. Compelling. He implied he kind of dug it. Do you think people will calm down after this . I think so. It should be over. Katherine hardwick who directed the first one of the vampires and all that stuff, when she cast Robert Pattinson people were so upset. They were . That he would be edward. Harry potter another example. Sooner or later people wrap their heads around it. Yeah. Lets talk about matthew mcconaughey. Okay. Standing ovation for matthew mcconaughey. Four words you dont hear very often. He is going to wow you in his movie dallas buyers club. He lost 52 pounds. Everyone was creeped out by that. Concerned for him. Delivers an amazing performance.
