expect this invasion of privacy. just because i'm a public figure, just because i'm an actress, does not mean that i asked for this. it does not mean that it comes with the territory. it's my body and it should be my choice. and she talks about the moment she had to share the news with her father. when i have to make that phone call to my dad and tell him what's happened i don't care how much money i get for "the hunger games," it's not worth it. she's not just angry at the hackers. the 24-year-old has a message for any one who searched for the photos. anybody who looked at the pictures, you are perpetuating a sexual offense. you should cower with shame. i didn't tell you that you could look at my naked body. lawrence also tells "vanity fair" she was in a long distance relationship at the time and the pictures were for her boyfriend. when she learned they were posted on line her first emotion was fear, she was worried what effect it would have on her career. >> i'm happy she's speaking

what's to stop another individual who then becomes fixated? breaking into your information. you don't have to be a celebrity. >> nope. >> for someone to set their sights on your private data on your phone, on your e-mail and suddenly say i want to know what's there. it does expand past these celebrities. and it goes to cyber security. and every day we're hearing about accounts being hacked and trying to change your debit card. it's kind of a big deal. >> it's a crime, no question about that. here is another story, which i've always loved jennifer garner and ben affleck. >> she's amazing. >> she's so real. >> here is why we love you, jennifer. if ryan seacrest asked if it's hard on the couple when one of you has to go on a diet. >> by diet we mean bulking up and -- >> here is what she had to say. >> there's something about it whenever one of us has to be really good, the other one pudges up. i don't know why it is. but i blame my pudginess on his strict and disciplined place in life. there's something about it that just makes me like, well, i'm going to have a bon bon. i don't know. i'm going to have some ice cream. i don't want the temptation around for him and i say here, honey, let me just take care of this for you. >> let me down that. i'll take care of that. >> she's taking one for the team. >> that's sweet. i like that. >> it really goes to, if you're in a relationship or a couple and wuvone of you is really disciplined, i think you can go the other way. that's the excuse i use. >> first of all, we should all be as pudgy as jennifer garner. >> i was going to say. >> as she describes herself. christina and i, if one of us decides to do it, it make it is easier. >> team effort. then you do have the times where your husband, like mine, sabotages your efforts. i've been trying to be good and not drink any wine during the week. >> he tries to get you drunk?

>> 78 is the new life expectancy. >> you want to know? >> you guys took the quiz already. i didn't want to know. that's why i didn't take it. >> this is a very unscientific quiz. >> on play buzz. >> play buzz. they say even though we're living longer apparently there's a curiosity about when you're going to die. people get palm readers to find out how many kids, your lifeline. you never had someone look at the life line? of course you have. think of it along the lines of when you had someone look at why your life line. >> all right. >> the first question -- i'm going to play it on the screen. apparently i'm told the first question is the one that's not naughty. the rest are naughty. i have to take them in a commercial break. which meal makes your stomach growl in a good way?

as parents, so many of us are like oh, my gosh, it's here. it's in our backyard. >> usually i'm pretty liberal with my kids about not washing their hands all the time. i'm definitely one of those mothers who says kids should play in dirt so they build up their immunity. but i've started to remind them to do a little more hand washing in school. what's concerning about this case and why we're all alittle taken aback by it is reportedly this child had no underlying pulmonary conditions, like asthma and things like that, which we think is a susceptibility factor here. it's affecting school-age kids but predominantly those that have an under lying pulmonary disease. per the medical examiner, it appears that the d-68 strain was the cause of this child's death and he didn't have any underlying conditions. >> the only thing they noticed the night before was the child went to sleep, stayed home for a day and, unfortunately, the outcome occurred. we're seeing a widespread of enterovirus across the country. in particular, this strand 68 is starting to show up a little more and it's more concerning. i think as dr. azar mentioned, the most important thing is hand hygiene. making sure you wash your hands after you touch doorknobs, cough into your elbow and not share utensils. >> we don't know why this strain has become so virulent now. it's been around since the 1960s. again to remind, we recommend washing with soap and water for 20 seconds, as dr. davis says, coughing into the crook of your elbow, which is something we teach our children anyway. washing contaminated surfaces and contaminated toys. and, most importantly, if your child does have asthma, make sure they're up-to-date on their medicines, their asthma is well controlled at any sign of difficulty breathing. we mean any wheezing, using the neck muscles or the chest muscles to help them breathe or taking more than one breath per second, get them to the doctor immediately and have them evaluated. don't second guess yourself. >> good advice for parents watching. i drew the short straw. so i'm going to ask you about this one, dr. davis. moderate weekly alcohol intake is linked to poor sperm quality in healthy young men. who judges the quality of the sperm? >> if you're wanting to have a child that's important. >> it's a great question. they did not mention this in this study. it's out of the bmj journal. they surveyed 1,200 men. they found that men who drank a moderate amount of consumption of alcohol had lower testosterone levels and lower sperm quality. this is not the first study that was done on sperm quality. cdc had similar findings in which they noticed mild or moderate intake may help with the dna quality of the sperm because of the antioxidant effects. so, it's confusing data. i don't know who judges the sperm and the quality. at this time right now it's hard to say. what we do know for certain is high use of alcohol is something that's very dangerous and does impact not only the sperm but your overall health. >> when you said moderate, we're talking how many drinks? >> one drink for women. two drinks for men. >> per day. >> per day. >> one for us only. >> let's talk about stress. actually, this is a surprising study. stress can actually be good for us? >> come on. >> where is this coming from? >> this is really going to be good for all the type a's listening to the show right now. >> that would be me. >> exactly. normally we associate stress with symptoms of tension headache and fatigue and all of these things. so, tlehree misconceptions abou stress that this study was debunking. one is that being overworked is particularly stressful. this study suggests that what we call under load or not having enough to do, boredom, for example, can cause some of the same symptoms as being overworked. the two other misconceptions that stress is unnecessarily unhealthy or bad for you, they're suggesting maybe not so much. if you have a stressful situation it teaches you to be resilient and gives you adaptive qualities. i don't know. it's a little bit sugar coating, but for a lot of us, when we feel like we have a lot to do in our busy days and we accomplished it, it gives you that positive reinforcement. stress is not always a negative thing. >> you just sold me on that. >> you did. >> i think it's total nonsense but you just told me on that. >> i want what she's having. i'll take a little stress. dr. davis, dr. azar, thank you very much. coming up next, all the news you need before you head out the door this morning. >> and a star-studded grooch xhe group of comedians join al at bagram air base in afghanistan. it's al's shine a light uso tour after this. hot cereal?
