night for a pep rally that looked more like a green and white new year's party. instead of dropping the ball at midnight, these fans hope the jets drop the hammer on the pittsburgh steelers in this week's afc championship game. even mayor bloomberg stopped by to give a little chant. hey, willis, how does that chant go? >> mr. woody johnson! there you go, willis. >> you just woke us up. thanks a lot. in chicago where the bears host the green bay packers in the nfc championship game, every living creature is predicting a bears victory, including ty the sea lion. when his trainer asked him who would win, he stuck out his tongue at packers logo but was all smiles at the bearers one. that's his way for saying da bears. octopus for soccer and sea lion for football? >> they tap the animals, they're wise. all right, the winning teams

will be in the super bowl. after the super bowl, it's anyone's guess when the next nfl game will actually take place. >> that's because a lingering labor dispute between players and owners could lead to a lockout. karen travers joins us from washington. good morning, rob and vinita. this is the pinnacle of the pro football season. the playoffs and the super bowl. but if a labor agreement between the players in the league is not reached in the next six weeks, this may be the last chance we'll have to watch football for at least a year. >> reporter: typically when nfl players come to washington, it's to celebrate a championship. but this week they came to ensure there will still be a game to play. the current labor contract between the nfl and the players union expires a month after the super bowl. right now the league seems headed straight for a lockout. that means no spring practice, no free agency deals, and potentially no 2011 season. >> we're 46 days away from a lockout. i think it's unfortunate we've gotten to this point.

>> reporter: the standoff centers around two key issues. first, revenue sharing. nfl players currently receive 60% of the league's $9 billion in annual revenue. but team owners say that's unsustainable given the economic downturn. they want to reduce the players' share by 9% to 18%. the second issue is the schedule. the league wants to add two more regular season games for a total of 18. the players say that increases their risk of injury and they deserve compensation. also at stake, local economies. >> we're not talking about, you know, penalizing players only. i mean, this is going to hurt, you know, your parking lot attendants, your restaurants, your hotels, everybody in your city, you know, hurts when this happens. >> reporter: players hope the economic reality of a league stoppage will influence congress to intervene. so far, members have shown little indication they will. the nfl insists its owners are eager for a deal, but one that's reached through compromise. >> if there's a work stoppage of any kind, it hurts everybody.

it hurts the clubs. it hurts the players. and it will hurt the game. most importantly, it will hurt our fans. >> reporter: unlike the 1994 baseball strike that canceled a world series, the nfl players insist they want to work. but it may take a hail mary pass to reach a compromise. rob and vinita. >> always lots of questions when this issue pops up. one, why would congress want to intervene? and should they? two, people feel these are millionaires whining over money. it's bigger than that. it's an $8 billion to $9 billion business. we're talking about stadiums, hospitality, advertising. this is a huge business. thousands of jobs impacted. >> "the new york times" says meetings are continuing to go on. but it's interesting, goodell, who we heard from in that piece, says there's a difference between meeting and making progress. >> enjoy the super bowl. coming up, "the skinny." >> and the mtv show that could be putting too much skin in "the skinny." nenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenene

[ laughter ] ♪ always nice to see us in there, very cool. hollywood news now. surprise engagement. jesse james, sandra bullock's ex-husband who broke her heart by cheating with the other woman. this is not the woman he cheated with but another tattooed beauty he's gone for. he gave an interview to "people" magazine saying sometimes the public and press gets it wrong. this is one of those times. 2010 was the best year of my life because i fell in love with my best friend an amazing woman who stood behind me when the world turned their backs. he gave her a four carat ring,

happy, on top of the world here. unfortunately, the wife, jesse's ex-wife, not sandra, another one said, this will never work. this woman has no idea what she's getting into. the only way he could be in a marriage is if it's an open relationship. if you're wondering what sand florida said in all of this she kind of got a heads-up earlier this week when the engagement was going to go public. she says, look, that's not my concern. my concern is raising my son. he's moving on with his life. i'm moving on with mine, so be it. kat and jesse james, tying that knot. >> women everywhere are saying, no, he didn't, when we heard about that. if you watch mtv at all you've seen the preview for the new show "skins" and apparently it's in a lot of cross-hairs. basically parents television council, a watchdog group, is asking the government to open a child pornography investigation into the new series that airs on mtv. it says the drama has teens as young as 15 years old could violate u.s. laws against sexual exploitation of minors.

it's about misfit teens that dabble in drinking, drugs and sex. it's based on a british series. mtv declined comment on the charges. they basically said, we just want to address real world issues confronting teens in a frank way. they also have already tweaked the show in some ways. so what you're seeing is the edited version. they took out -- there's one controversial episode where a 17-year-old was seen running down the street and you saw the entire backside. that was edited out, according to "the times." >> wow. a movie coming out called "the dictator" a comedy about the life of saddam hussein. guess who's playing saddam hussein? sacha baron cohen. the "borat" fame. it's going to come out in 2012. the same writers who write "curb your enthusiasm." should be interesting. the real scoop on "the skinny." monday will be a big week for the show. >> that's right. we're turning 19. it's our birthday week. you'll notice a lot of changes. we're very excited. a lot of work has gone into a lot of these. >> a whole new look, new graphics, new feel of the show. we're going to change desks. all kinds of stuff.

if you're a fan of the show, stay tuned next week. >> did you see that? we gave you a brief -- that's what "the skinny's" going to look like. >> all new. .

veins, measuring precise length and spacing. >> the major veins don't change. it's even similar to fingerprint analysis because we're looking at landmarks on that surface. >> reporter: it is less scientific than fingerprinting, but these students and the teacher, who was danny pearl's friend, believe danny's case is now solved. >> it was his clues we followed. and i think he would have been really proud of these students and all of the spirit with which this work was done. >> reporter: martha raddatz, abc news, washington. nothing is supposed to keep the post office from delivering the mail. neither snow, nor sleet, nor gloom of night. investigators say a washington state mailman spent his days at a bar and then burned the mail or took it home with him. they found nearly 8,000 letters there. he was sentenced to 120 hours of community service. doesn't quite seem enough, though, does it? >> oh, man.

there are some new questions this morning about the woman who fell into a pennsylvania shopping mall fountain while texting. this is the watercooler story of the week. cathy cruz cathy cruz marrero has bigger problems than just a bruised ego. court documents show she used a credit card without permission to rack up 5,000 bucks in purchases. there's also a hit and run incident on her record. when asked about the possibility that the texting incident was simply a hoax, her attorney said nonsense. the deadly snowstorm that brought parts of the midwest and south to a virtual standstill is zeroing in on the northeast this morning. but roads remain slick in many areas, including memphis. that is where a 14-car pileup shut down a major highway yesterday. that storm caused at least six traffic-related deaths across the region. and in the upper midwest, they are bundling up against unbearable cold.

duluth, minnesota, plummets to 25 below zero this morning. some areas could get as low as 40 below. the deep freeze stretches from the dakotas to ohio where seven states are under windchill advisories. that's the kind of weather, when it's so cold, your skin can't even make contact with the air. you really have to be completely bundled up. >> sick day. as the fifth storm of the season hits the northeast, some school districts, including boston, have already shut down classes for the day. >> accuweather's ava dinges, who's tracking the storm, joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. we do have another storm system coming into the northeast. i think the even bigger story is how cold it's going to get behind this storm. this is a quick-move every. it's already starting to taper off across philadelphia, even into new york city. the bulk now heading up towards new england. that's where the storm will actually intensify. so, we'll see even more snow for boston up towards bangor, maine, and they could see upwards of 6 to 10 inches. new york city down to philadelphia it's more of a 3 to 6 inch event. that will still cause travel delays, at the airports or interstates. behind this storm we're talking unbelievably cold air.

we look at the temps across the midwest. these are overnight temperatures. now, fargo, around 26 below. minneapolis starting off the day at 20 below. we're definitely seeing those temperatures continue to drop down across the entire midwest. chicago won't even get out of the single digits for a high temperature. in the northeast it may not be that cold just yet but with those winds coming out of the north and west, it's going to feel quite cold. back to you. >> another brutal day here. thanks. now to the story of a texas man who truly earned the title, golf nut. >> richard lewis is now in the record books for playing 600 rounds in one year. >> wow. >> he did it all by walking the course, no carts involved here. that comes out to about 4,000 miles. >> lewis admits to being addicted to the game and that his obsession actually cost him two marriages. he's played through rain, snow and sleet, even tornadoes. he has no plans to try to break his record this year. >> so, 600 rounds is about four hours a round? i mean, he spent about 24,000 hours, am i right here?

to mark the 50th anniversary of jfk's inauguration, president barack obama hosted a gala last night at the performing arts center named after the 35th that included about 100 members of kennedy's family. president obama said if it were not for kennedy's quote, unfinished life and vision, he himself would not be president today. and the president went on to say that even though he wasn't born till later that year when jfk actually said 50 years ago still resonates today. >> it was a challenge that the young charismatic president placed in front of the country. a challenge that america accepted. here's john donvan. >> reporter: those who were there for it always recall the cold, how winter gift wrapped washington the night before.

speechwriter, but from jfk himself, who made sure to be photographed working on it. a claim loyally corroborated over the years by the late sorenson himself. >> it was kennedy's speech. >> reporter: corroborated but not always believed. except by those who recognized, that his themes, like sacrificing for liberty -- >> shall pay any price, bear any burden -- >> reporter: -- were themes he had expressed throughout the campaign. no one doubts the edits were kennedy's, as when he spoke of human rights. >> those human rights to which this nation has always been committed. >> reporter: a young aide, later a u.s. senator, had urged kennedy to mark the clause of civil rights. so listen to this two-word insert. >> to which we are committed today, at home, and around the world. >> the president got to me that day and he revived a can-do american spirit that the world was waiting for. and he was young himself. >> reporter: young and also bold.

after years of cautious leadership in the 1950s and a sense of drift. >> it's like the wizard of oz. with you're watching "the wizard of oz," suddenly it goes from black and white to color. >> reporter: so the words of the speech's most famous passage -- >> ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. >> reporter: -- they are, indeed, set in stone, far and wide now, written not to please but to inspire. they did. and they do. john donvan, abc news, washington. >> and president obama borrowed part of that quote last night. he said, we can reach great heigse to any challenge. as long as we're willing to ask what we can do for our country. borrowed some of kennedy's famous phrasing. >> of course, there was the big celebration. someone said there was kennedys. the family was entirely in the several rows of the seats. this was the first time since the truman administration they've had no one in the congressional office.

> tremendous takedown. federal agents and police target suspected mobsters. the widespread dragnet. football feud. the nfl labor dispute and its huge potential impact on the game and its fans. and bringing back the extinct wooly mammoth. futuristic science. but will it work? it's friday, january 21st. >> announcer: from abc news, this is "world news now." vinita is heartbroken because if the lockout really happens the super bowl would be the very last game of the year, possibly. >> no, you're wrong. the super bowl i like because of the commercials. it's all of the lead-up to the super bowl. >> millions of dollars, the ads,

the halftime show, you wouldn't be upset, though? >> i appreciate the fourth quarter. the first three i could do without. good morning, thanks for being with us. i'm vinita nair. >> i'm rob nelson. happy friday. it's one of the biggest mafia takedowns in fbi history. more than 100 suspects have been rounded up. >> agents say the arrests are a reminder the mob is a dangerous force behind much of the nation's crime. pierre thomas reports. >> reporter: scores of suspected mobsters, la cosa nostra, made men arrested in raids across the new york region. so many the suspects had to be taken to an army base for booking. >> the reality is, it is an ongoing threat. a major threat. >> reporter: the charges, racketeering, extortion, murder, involving corruption of every kind, from construction sites to union workers. there were the scenes that fictional mafia leader tony soprano feared. the feds came just like in "goodfellas". >> i'm detective bisi, this is detective silvestre.

we have a search warrant for the premise. >> would you read and sign it? >> reporter: among those arrested, anthony cavezza, known as "tony bagels." benjamin, the claw, and vincenzo frogiero, aka, vinny carwash. >> time and again, they have shown a willingness to kill, to make money and to silence witnesses. >> reporter: in case you thought the mob was extinct, authorities say think again. a former nypd investigator who specialized in locking up members of the mafia. all these years they're still around, why is that? >> well because, the almighty dollar dictates them. they're not as effective as they used to be, but they're still making money. >> reporter: still making money and costing us. police say the mob drives up prices in industries ranging from construction so catering. these mob cases like so many other built on wiretaps and with informants who turned on their associates. big ron preveti helped to put 50 mob members behind bars.

>> you're always concerned about retribution. >> reporter: and big ron's take on whether the massive arrests would truly wound or kill the la cosa nostra in the u.s. -- >> the italian mob is not dead now. they will never be dead because as long as there's people out there that gamble, go to prostitutes, borrow money, there's always going to be somebody to cater to them. you'll be dead. i'll be dead. the italian mafia will still be here. >> reporter: so the short answer is, forget about it, pierre thomas, abc news, new york. congresswoman gabby giffords takes the next step in her long road to recovery. she's moving moved to a rehab facility in houston. before leaving tucson, giffords and her husband mark kelly took one last look of the mountains from a hospital balcony. doctors say being outdoors is key to getting better. >> the next step is literally get her out to a deck where there's open exposure to sunlight. we know when people see the regular rhythm, day in and day out, it starts to reorient them to the lifestyle they had

before. >> she'll smile at me, do a couple things she'll only do around me, like pat me on my face. >> there were other activities indicating giffords' rapid recovery. doctors say she scrolled through an ipad, picked out different colored objects and is even moving her lips. it's still unclear whether she can speak. house republicans are addressing the always controversial issue of abortion. they've introduced two bills to toughen restrictions on taxpayer funding for abortions. one would ban government workers from using their health insurance for an abortion. the other would deny subsidies or tax credits for health insurance plans that cover abortion. both bills are expected to die in the senate. top officials from the first bush administration have gathered to mark the 20th anniversary of the gulf war. the former president said it was one of the greatest honors of his life to liberate kuwait and command u.s.-led forces. former vice president dan quayle was also there for the observance. this week is the 50th

a new generation of americans. let us never negotiate out of fear. but let us never fear to negotiate. >> reporter: crowned with the speech's most glowing moment, timelessly binding citizenship to self-sacrifice. >> ask not what your country can do for you. ask what you can do for your country. >> reporter: caroline kennedy reflected on her father's thousand days in office. >> today we mark not just the anniversary of my father's inauguration but the endurance of an ideal. his time was short but his summons still echoes. >> reporter: and president obama said president kennedy left us a heritage of words the nation can still live by. >> a life that inspires us and lights our way as we sail on to the new frontiers of our own time. >> reporter: larry jacobs, abc news. the winter storm that slammed the midwest with a record snow is now bearing down on the northeast.

and officials in boston have already announced schools will be closed today. road crews in louisville had a tough time keeping up yesterday. they put down 1500 tons of salt but there was still a number of serious accidents in that part of the country. at least six people were killed in crashes throughout the midwest. and bitter arctic air is gripping seven states today with windchill advisory of the dakotas to ohio. fargo is expecting more subzero weather today after temperatures hit minus 24 yesterday. today will be even colder in northern minnesota, where temps will hit 30 to 40 below zero. i cannot imagine that kind of cold. >> i think we also cannot complain anymore. >> no, no, no, no. >> for the latest on that frigid air and the big snowstorm in the northeast, we turn to accuweather. >> meteorologist ava dinges has the very latest. good morning, ava. good morning, rob and vinita. what do you know, snow is returning to the northeast.

but now, i think cities like philadelphia and new york city got this down pat. we are expecting some travel concerns as we go throughout the day. when it be along i-80 and even i-95. although there's only going to be 3 to 6 inches of accumulation, you still have to take it easy for the slippery roadways and even the airports running into delays and even cancellations. the worst of the travel actually coming in across southern new england from boston up towards bangor, maine, where the storm is intensifying. 6 to 10 inches of snow just throughout friday. the storm exits into canada and behind it, it will draw in very cold air, air out of the arctic. temperature starting to drop down in buffalo. high at 20 degrees. 26 in syracuse. and although it's looking relatively mild across the east coast, new york at 37. we're actually going to see those temperatures start to drop down into the evening hours. we take a look at the temperatures in the midwest. 4 in minneapolis. you can imagine how much cold is to come. back to you. >> words we don't want to hear. >> huh-uh. >> thanks, ava. we know why the chicken crossed the road but what about the turkey? >> the bone-chilling cold in the

twin cities did not seem to bother some residents. these wild turkeys decided to venture out for a stroll in the middle of minneapolis and they stopped traffic wherever they went. >> store owners in the area say the flock passes through about twice a month. they seem to steer clear of the restaurants with turkey on the menu. when i was in hawaii, surprisingly, there was a ton of these around. >> really? >> i have to say, they're very surprisingly calm. you can see them there. they just sort of stroll about, looking scary and crazy. >> better than in november. >> we'll be right back.

white new year's party. instead of dropping the ball at midnight, these fans hope the jets drop the hammer on the pittsburgh steelers in this week's afc championship game. even mayor bloomberg stopped by to give a little chant. hey, willis, how does that chant go? >> mr. woody johnson! there you go, willis. >> you just woke us up. thanks a lot. in chicago where the bears host the green bay packers in the nfc championship game, every living creature is predicting a bears victory, including ty the sea lion. when his trainer asked him who would win, he stuck out his tongue at packers logo but was all smiles at the bearers one. that's his way for saying da bears. octopus for soccer and sea lion for football? >> they tap the animals, they're wise. all right, the winning teams will, of course, face often in in the super bowl. after the super bowl, it's

anyone's guess when the next nfl game will actually take place. >> that's because a lingering labor dispute between players and owners could lead to a lockout. karen travers joins us from washington. good morning, karen. good morning, rob and vinita. this is the pinnacle of the pro football season. the playoffs and the super bowl. but if a labor agreement between the players in the league is not reached in the next six weeks, this may be the last chance we'll have to watch football for at least a year. >> reporter: typically when nfl players come to washington, it's to celebrate a championship. but this week they came to ensure there will still be a game to play. the current labor contract between the nfl and the players union expires a month after the super bowl. right now the league seems headed straight for a lockout. that means no spring practice, no free agency deals, and potentially no 2011 season. >> we're 46 days away from a lockout. that's where things stand. i think it's unfortunate we've gotten to this point. >> reporter: the standoff centers around two key issues. first, revenue sharing. nfl players currently receive

60% of the league's $9 billion in annual revenue. but team owners say that's unsustainable given the economic downturn. they want to reduce the players' share by 9% to 18%. the second issue is the schedule. the league wants to add two more regular season games for a total of 18. the players say that increases their risk of injury and they deserve compensation. also at stake, local economies. >> we're not talking about, you know, penalizing players only. i mean, this is going to hurt, you know, your parking lot attendants, your restaurants, your hotels, everybody in your city, you know, hurts when this happens. >> reporter: players hope the economic reality of a league stoppage will influence congress to intervene. so far, members have shown little indication they will. the nfl insists its owners are eager for a deal, but one that's reached through compromise. >> if there's a work stoppage of any kind, it hurts everybody.

it hurts the clubs. it hurts the players. and it will hurt the game. most importantly, it will hurt our fans. >> reporter: unlike the 1994 baseball strike that canceled a world series, the nfl players insist they want to work. but it may take a hail mary pass to reach a compromise. rob and vinita. >> always lots of questions when this issue pops up. one, why would congress want to intervene? and should they? two, people feel these are millionaires whining over money. it's bigger than that. it's an $8 billion to $9 billion business. we're talking about stadiums, hospitality, advertising. this is a huge business. thousands of jobs impacted. >> "the new york times" says meetings are continuing to go on. but it's interesting, goodell, who we heard from in that piece, says there's a difference between meeting and making progress. >> enjoy the super bowl. coming up, "the skinny." real life drama involving sandra bullock and her ex. >> and the mtv show that could be putting too much skin in "the skinny."

now, imagine that the guy you owe money to is a country

and the sum of money is almost $1 trillion. >> china's president hu jintao arrives in washington for a state visit today. >> [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] ♪ always nice to see us in there, very cool. hollywood news now. surprise engagement. jesse james, sandra bullock's ex-husband who broke her heart by cheating with the other woman. this is not the woman he cheated with but another tattooed beauty he's gone for. he gave an interview to "people" magazine saying sometimes the public and press gets it wrong. this is one of those times. 2010 was the best year of my life because i fell in love with my best friend, an amazing woman who stood behind me when the world turned their backs. he gave her a four carat ring, happy, on top of the world here. unfortunately, the wife, jesse's ex-wife, not sandra, another one said, this will never work. this woman has no idea what

she's getting into. the only way he could be in a marriage is if it's an open relationship. if you're wondering where sandra stood in all of this, she kind of got a heads-up earlier this week when the engagement was going to go public. she says, look, that's not my concern. my concern is raising my son. he's moving on with his life. i'm moving on with mine, so be it. kat and jesse james, tying that knot. >> women everywhere are saying, no, he didn't, when we heard about that. if you watch mtv at all you've seen the preview for the new show "skins" and apparently it's in a lot of cross-hairs. basically parents television council, a watchdog group, is asking the government to open a child pornography investigation into the new series that airs on mtv. it says the drama has teens as young as 15 years old could violate u.s. laws against sexual exploitation of minors. and statutes against child pornography. it's about misfit teens that dabble in drinking, drugs and

sex. it's based on a british series. mtv declined comment on the charges. they basically said, we just want to address real world issues confronting teens in a frank way. they also have already tweaked the show in some ways. so what you're seeing is the edited version. they took out -- there's one controversial episode where a 17-year-old was seen running down the street and you saw the entire backside. that was edited out, according to "the times." >> wow. a movie coming out called "the dictator" a comedy about the life of saddam hussein. guess who's playing saddam hussein? sacha baron cohen. the "borat" fame. it's going to come out in 2012. the same writers who write "curb your enthusiasm." should be interesting. the real scoop on "the skinny." we have some skin on ourselves here. monday will be a big week for the show. >> that's right. we're turning 19. it's our birthday week. you'll notice a lot of changes. we're very excited. a lot of work has gone into a lot of these. >> a whole new look, new graphics, new feel of the show. we're going to change desks. all kinds of stuff. if you're a fan of the show, stay tuned next week.

>> did you see that? we gave you a brief -- that's what "the skinny's" going to look like.
