half a billion dollars. >> and it will be more than that by tomorrow. yep. >> so we got a couple of quick picks. >> don't look at the numbers because you never know if you win, then everybody's going to be all after you. >> they're all after me now and i don't have what they think i've got. trust me. >> here's the deal. if you guys are planning your winnings, you have two choices. you either get a one-time payout of $359 million, which i think goes down to $250 million -- >> don't you hate paying taxes? >> or you can get an annual payment of $19 million. >> what would you do? >> okay. i would think i would do the lump thing, but i kind of need discipline so i like the -- >> kind of? >> -- idea of when you blow the first $19 million in year one there's another one waiting because i don't know that i would be great with dealing with such a huge amount of money. how about you? >> no. i would absolutely take it now. because the dollar is declining. very quickly. and who knows what our dollar's going to be worth -- >> but if you got 19 million of them, who cares? >> because $19 million will barely buy me my theater on broadway where you can bring all kinds of children in and watch shows for free and change their lives. you see? so i'm going to need the big stuff. >> i was just going to get a beach house and a plane to get back and forth to the beach house. >> which beach would it be on? >> i'd either do the dominican republic or puerto rico. i love the caribbean. i would do somewhere in there. if you want to go -- like right after the show, i'd go to the airport and get on my plane and go. that would be the best. >> then why don't you also get a helicopter to get to you your plane? >> yes, i would do that. >> yes! see, notice -- notice who thought of other people first. >> i was getting there. but first i just wanted to be happy. >> and that's what's wrong with the world. right there! selfish -- never mind. >> come on. >> we're going to put this where the sun don't shine. >> and we're going to share it with our crew -- >> yeah, but not all. >> you're in. >> the rest of you are skating on thin ice. so there was a big interview today in our studio. >> yes. >> charlie sheen came in to the studio and he sat down with matt lauer. he's been -- you guys remember, of course, the big public meltdown he had and how he went on and did all that "winning" and tiger blood and all that stuff. then he was no longer on "two and a half men." >> there's tiger blood, then there was bad blood. that's bad blood. >> i don't know if you saw it, but if you didn't, we want to know what you think. take a look at his interview. >> start your day off right. >> there have been some headlines. there was some video that tmz got not long ago. you were i think coming out of a guns and roses concert. >> my brother ramon. he's here actually. >> to the untrained eye it appeared that you were slightly looped. >> well, yeah. and you can't -- any defense attorney will never go to trial with video evidence against him. hello. not that any crimes were committed. >> however, were you someone who has -- >> however. young man. >> you're someone who's been to rehab in the past. you've admitted issues with drugs. i don't know one addiction specialist who would tell a guy in your position, it's okay to drink. >> well, if you do, i should probably go to that guy -- sorry. no, you're right. you're right. but i have different theories about the whole thing. one of them is park near the v.i.p. exit. >> it was sort of one joke after the other and -- you know, we wish him well. he's been through a lot. i look at people like robert downey jr. who was really in bad shape and he's doing so well because he is following the program. you know? >> he says he doesn't believe in the program but he says that's his own personal belief. he's not putting on anyone else. it's weird because when you see him all fij itty in the chair -- >> he cannot sit style for a moment. >> i think they were saying that's sort of his persona, he's high energy. >> he's a very, very talented guy. nobody disputes that. i think just like we feel with lindsay lohan, if you're an addict and you can't remember the last time you took a drug or you took a drink, then you're not being serious about sobriety, i don't think. you're still playing the game, that'sor other people, i'm different. i didn't see a whole lot of change for him. >> i didn't either. >> i still don't see any -- i hate to be a killjoy, but i don't see any sorrow, any sorrow for any hurt that's been done. you don't want to look back on the highway of your life and see nothing but road kill. >> he seems like he's laughing his way all the way through. >> we hope he gets really serious about it. >> for his sake. >> mostly his children. here's something that will put a smile on your face. there's always a great viral video that makes its way around. this one is an 18-month-old who loves to ski. >> i saw this yesterday. it's the cutest. >> in idaho. take a look. he's 18 months. he's skiing. good job, buddy! >> he's doing the pizza. now he's -- >> now he's -- he's tired. >> he's totally asleep. >> he's got great balance. >> oh, my god. you guys? he's asleep. yes. he's sound asleep. >> timber! >> he wasn't hurt when he fell. any of you who have taken your kids skiing know they're like little sumo wrestlers when they've got inches and inches of foam all around them. that's the cutest thing. >> i love that. you know who seems to be loving it? mary. mary is at our desk. hi, mary. is mary waving? i met mary last night. her daughter, bridget baker, won a big award. she's a big deal at nbc. she wanted to come by and say hi to us. >> you introduced her -- >> with your help. if you loved it, there she is getting her award. so congrats to betsy. >> proud day for her mom. yes. yes. another proud day. >> what? guys, i'm so excited. if you saw the movie "anchorman" with will ferrell, i loved that movie. >> i walked out of it. >> how? >> because i had my daughter with me, right away i said this is inappropriate. she was younger. everybody loved it. >> there's a sequel that's coming out. will ferrell went on conan last night with his flute -- his jazz flute and he made the announcement. let's watch. >> okay. >> i want to announce this to everyone here in the americas to our friends in spain, turkey, and the uk, including england, that as of 0900 mountain time, paramount pictures and myself, ronald joseph aaron burgundy, have come to terms on a sequel to "anchorman." [ applause ] >> that's going to make a lot of people happy. >> that is going to be great. >> i am a will ferrell fan. i'm late to the party but he was here the other day for casa de mi padre. and i loved him, loved him, loved him. hoda and i -- how should we put this -- we're not quite ready for what we saw yesterday on broadway. >> you won't believe it. >> first of all, it is about say sadomasochism right now. but what isn't? it's called "venus in fur." i want to say her name, i want to get it right. her name is nina ariana -- >> very pornish, the whole thing. >> we're not going to turn everybody off. >> i'm not saying it's bad. >> look at hoda. she was so into it. can i tell you? she bit off the bottom -- >> that was for my viewing gum. >> that's a bite. you looked over at you and you were like -- you were making sounds, hoda. i'm sorry. you were making sounds. >> i'll let you know who is going to enjoy this play. if you liked this book, "50 shades of gray," it's like 50 shades with the dominant and the submissive and the whole pornish thing happening. all i could think of when watching this was it is like reading "50 shades of gray." >> which you have, cover to cover. i have yet to open the book. that's all you need to know about it, frankly. hoda likes porn. i think it's basically bad for people. >> stop. it does tip into icky. in the book and in the play. >> on page what, hoda? >> in the play. it goes dark. it goes to a very dark place. >> it's fascinating. i appreciated it from the acting standpoint. these are two -- >> they're great actors. >> at the top of their game. can i cheer people up with something else? >> what's more cheerful than porn and sadomasochism? >> for my "ihoda" this week, here's the deal. before we show this, this is -- lionel richie's been doing these duets with country stars. shania twain, do you remember her husband left her for her best friend? >> mutt. >> she actually went to her best friend said, hey, do you think my husband's cheating? and she said no. turns out they were cheating together. she had medical issues and stuff. she lost all of her confidence. lionel ritchie called her up and said, will you sing "endless love" with me? she said, yorn if -- i don't know if i have the confidence. he said, please sing with me for this cd. >> here's the video. ♪ >> can you feel it? >> you can actually see the moment where she gets her mojo back when she puts her arms up in the air. >> and they sing it so beautifully together. >> look how gorgeous she looks on a horse, too. i don't know, maybe it is because of "venus in fur," but i kind of like that. i've always loved shania twain. i love her look, i love her sound, she's a really talented songwriter. who doesn't love lionel? >> you know what, everything with the black and white is beautiful. >> yes. and you can't miss with every single song on this cd. by the way, that earlier clip we showed you is from the own network because they did a special with shania. she did get her mojo back. she got her confidence back. >> i hope she does another cd. i hope she tours again. she was here with us when she wrote the book. you could tell that that was a hard thing for her to do but she's on her -- >> there was a point on the own show at the end where lionel ritchie says to shania twain, welcome back, shania, you're back. >> oh, that makes me cry. you know what else makes me want to cry? movies that make me cry. >> that's tomorrow. >> tomorrow we're going to do movies that make you cry. >> think about your biggest tear jerking movie. >> so get ready to tell us on facebook what you think it is. by the way, you know who's not been here all this week because she's been sick? we want to send some love out to our baby sister, sara. everybody has this flu bug thing. >> everyone around here has had the stomach flu. megan had it. >> we wish you the best, sweetie. but we do have something else fun coming up. >> there is our kids "voice" contest. we're coming near the end so you've got to submit your entries. if you're between the ages of 8 and 16 years old, again these are kids singing acapella. >> a lot of adele. >> we'll listen to a couple more. ♪ >> the beatles. >> okay. >> allrightee. let's hear the second one. ♪ ♪ >> some real raw talent there. >> yeah. i like. what we're going to do -- we're going to narrow it down. >> we've had over 800 i think. >> have we?

what are you, crazy? >> is it okay or not okay? >> what? is it okay to -- >> to do what? >> to keep your marriage a secret. you said -- of course it is but it is more important to keep it sacred. >> look at you thinking it through. >> it is. what is the secret if it is not sacred to you. you said, sure, it's okay, as long as those nearest and dearest are clued in. the rest can wait until you feel like spreading the news. >> yeah. it's only your business but i don't get the really why is it top-secret? >> i see why beyonce and jay-z did. they wanted something private. and would have been a melee. >> once people know, isn't it over? >> seems to me in this world it is hard to keep a secret. if you can do it and it is important to you, do it. >> cheers. >> jane seymour's with us today. she has a lot going on. it's thursday which means two wonderful women were whisked off the plaza for an "ambush makeover." >> we'll talk to all of them, after this. sometimes what our parents say to us goes in one ear and out the other. >> and sometimes what they say sticks. >> that's the case for actress, painter and philanthropist jane seymour whose mother taught her to live with an open heart. >> she didn't just live with it. she created a charity to go along with it. called the open heart foundation. >> every time you're with us you have all kinds of stuff going on but this is, pardon the pun, very close to your heart. >> it is very close to my heart. this was really the way i grew up. so many people have said, gosh, so many things have happened in your life and somehow you always bounce back. i look back and say my mom had this amazing advice. she says when things are tough, and you're dealing with challenge, your instinct is to close off. but if you can open the heart and be in the present moment, reach out to help someone else, by that very action you bring solution and something positive to your own life. what we're doing here with the foundation is we're honoring people that we know and that we see that are public people and also people we may not know so well who have done exactly that. >> when i see that necklace, i always think about the open heart. you're wearing that beautiful necklace now. who's getting honored at your event? >> very exciting. glen campbell and kim, his wife, for caregivers of the alzheimer's association. glen is actually going to perform with his kids who have a group called instant people. >> they really take care of their dad. >> then we've got holly robinson peete and rodney. they have a charity. her father i think had parkinson's, they have a child with autism so we're covering that. and christina taylor greene, the little girl who was so tragically killed when congressman giffords was shot, her parents turned this around to help the community, to help kids. which is amazing. then kristi yamaguchi whom i love. did you know she had a club foot? who knew that? and so she has this amazing foundation so we're honoring her. basically this is what we're trying to do, encourage people who deal with adversity which we all do at some point. >> but do something about it. >> my mom always said there's always someone worse off than you. but the very act of helping someone else helps you. >> you're having a big party in malibu right on the ocean. >> we're crazy, we're doing it in our home. we've got glen campbell who will be performing and lp and mark cohen and my son johnny is singing. he's written a special song. >> he's a singer. what kind of music does he sing?
