good morning, america. runway collision. overnight video of a scary accident. one of the world's biggest passenger planes crunches into a small jet at one of the world's busiest airports. murder by numbers. the grisly body count rises, as police find remains of more victims of a possible serial killer on long island. we take you in deep in tick-infested brush. "gma" exclusive. the woman at the center of the brett favre sexting scandal on what really happened. >> he was like that guy at the bar that just could not get the hint. >> why she is speaking out now. >> people are starting to think, she's a gold digger. she's a home wrecker.

i'm none of those things. >> and the revelation that will surprise everyone. ♪ you gotta to for it you take the good. you take the bad. it's the unforgettable tv reunion more than 20 years in the making. "the facts of life" cast here on "gma." ♪ to learn the facts of life and good morning, everyone. you think you've seen it all. and then, you see this. that massive, double-decker jumbo jet, smashing into that commuter plane at jfk last night in new york. the airfrance jet still there at jfk at this hour. >> no one was hurt. but they did have to evacuate that plane very quickly. we have a new twist in donald trump's attempts to make headlines by questioning president obama's citizenship. now president obama's sister is

a coming to his defense. and many top republicans are saying that trump's strategy could undermine the republican effort to retake the white house. that's ahead. and you have the interview with jenn sterger. >> she's kept a very low profile until now. she'll explain the one reason she had for finally giving this interview, what hurts most about it. and, robin, i have to tell you. talking to her over an hour, made me think again about so much we've heard about this case. we'll get to that later. first, let's get to the scary collision at jfk airport. a jumbo jet ready for takeoff, clipped another plane that just touched down. lisa stark has the details. good morning, lisa. >> reporter: good morning, george. as you mentioned, no one was injured but it could have been much worse. the world's largest plane, the airbus a-380, clipped that plane and spun it like a top. it was all caught on videotape. on the right side of your screen, the world's largest commercial jet.

on the left, a small, regional plane. watch closely at this video obtained by wabc news, as the massive airbus 380 passes, it clips the delta tale and spins it a full 90 degrees. take another look. in just three seconds, it's david versus goliath on the runway. >> runway 22 right, turn left on ail foe. hold short, echo. >> reporter: the airfrance a-380, bound for paris, was taxiing from the terminal to the runway for takeoff. the regional jet had just landed from boston. 66 passenger and crew. it was nearing the gate. and it was getting to the taxiway known as mike, when the planes got too close.

>> roll the emergency trucks to mike. we've been bit by an airbus. >> who is this? >> comair 53. >> attention all, emergency equipment, taxiway 33 and mike. >> reporter: those aboard the small plane scramble ed down th jet's stairs. >> i understand he believes he hit the regional jet. and i understand they are evacuating the regional jet. >> the plane shake very, very violently. next thing we knew, we were told to hurry out of the plane. >> reporter: the airbus 380 has been flying for more than three years now. the giant, double-decker plane has a wingspan of 260 feet. so large, not many airports can handle it. obviously this, is one that thought it could. there will be a full investigation to see what went wrong and who was at fault here. and these kinds of accidents on the ground at airports -- on the ground, i should say at airports, are the ones that keep aviation safety officials awake at night. they are a big concern. george? >> i'll bet they are. that's like a yugo getting rammed by an suv on the highway.

>> very much so. but thankfully, no one was injured on either plane. meanwhile, another grisly turn in the search for a serial killer. police are narrowing in on several people of interest right now. more human remains were found on monday, not far from where eight other bodies have been discovered. our andrea canning is at the scene on long island. good morning, andrea. >> reporter: good morning, robin. we'll get to those possible persons of interest in a moment. we're learning the killer could actually be living a normal life here in this community. first, look at this tough terrain the searchers are dealing with. we have 100 police officers combing this area, filled with brush, poison ivy, ticks out here. and this is the perfect place to dump a body. >> we found three human remains so far. >> reporter: it's been one gruesome discovery after another. >> officers discovered what appears to be a human skull. >> reporter: bringing the total to at least nine sets of human remains on this stretch of beach

alone. >> we want to bring to justice this animal. >> reporter: at least four of the bodies are known prostitutes who advertised on craigslist. the rest have yet to be identified. the police and the fbi have been meticulously combing through this thick, tick-infested brush. using helicopters, horses, fire truck ladders and cadaver dogs like this one. how important are cadaver dogs in terrain like this? >> the dogs play an incredibly vital role. they are using their noses to locate the decomposition odor being put off. >> reporter: wally zions, a former nypd homicide detective know what they're up against in their search effort. >> you see it's easy to dispose of a body. either under the brush or dig it up. >> reporter: what does it tell you that he dumped the bodies in this incredibly dense area? >> it tells me he knew the area. he knew that an area where not many people are going to go to. >> reporter: and the manhunt is tricky from a psychological

standpoint. the killer is believed to be above average intelligence and leads a normal life. authorities tell abc news there are several persons of interest, even links to law enforcement. is there another serial killer he could be like? >> he could be a copycat of the btk killer. he was an animal control officer who killed ten bodies from 1991 to 2005. knew everybody. had roots in the community. pillar of the community. churchgoer. >> reporter: and the fbi's behavioral analysis unit is also on scene. experts say this killer could have an i.q. of over 120. he could be social and organized. robin? >> thanks, andrea. joining us now is brad garrett. all these bodies found in the same area. how are police going to determine if it's the same person or more people involved here? >> the real key is, do all these

bodies relate to each other, for starters? you look at the crime scene. you look at what's at the crime scene. apparently the first four were found in burlap bags. that can be a possible lead. the connection between how the victim met the bad guy is extremely important. did he call them all to a particular hotel on long island. that's a potential lead. this is going to get solved by gum shoeing, basically. finding people out there that knows this guy. and he probably does work on long island, lives on long island, or grew up on long island. he can be the type of worker that goes there at a particular time of the year. long island is obviously busier in the summer. so, he clearly is comfortable with that road. >> a lot of dots to be connected to be able to solve this. we have heard that one of the remains is that of a child. how does that fit a possible profile? >> obviously, we don't know.

but it's not uncommon that these women have children. and did he get into a situation with one of them that her child was there? and so, he just disposed of the child as another witness. >> and we've been hearing how they've been saying that it's possible that they had some kind of law enforcement background, the person or people involved in this. what makes them think that? >> i think because he's using prepaid cell phones. he's making calls from populated areas. and those two things, primarily, are telling them, could be. but the thing of it is, it could be an intelligence officer. it could be somebody from the military. you can learn this stuff on television. we don't need to jump into law enforcement exclusively. >> just don't know at this point. >> exactly. >> i know you're staying on the case for us, brad. thanks very much. we're going to turn to washington now. even though he may be only toying with the idea of a white house run, donald trump is drawing the kind of fire that comes with a full-fledged campaign. on sunday, president obama's top political adviser called him out

for questioning the president's citizenship. and now, the president's sister is joining the fray, too. jake, she's been keeping a fairly low profile. why take this on now? >> reporter: she is on a book tour, promoting a children's book, when she was asked about this bizarre conspiracy theory. it's as persistent as it is erroneous. it is the lie that will not die. the notion that president obama was not born in honolulu in 1961, as stated in his certificate of live birth and backed by the state of hawaii. contemporaneous birth announcements. submitted by the state department of health. and the president's half-sister, in an interview that will air tonight on cnn's "piers morgan." >> i think it's unfortunate. he was born in hawaii. there is a tremendous amount of proof that has already been presented. i think that it is time for people to put that to bed. put it to rest completely. >> reporter: this time, the birther nonsense was resurrected by real estate developer and

would-be presidential candidate, donald trump, who put forward a number of false accusations. such as the claim that the released certificate of birth doesn't have a serial number. or a signature. and on and on. trump is likely doing this to appeal to republican primary voters. a fox news poll from this month shows that 37% of republicans falsely believe the president was not born in the u.s. compared to 47% who do. some fear this nonsense will undermine the potential field. independent voters, worried about jobs and the economy think the birther conspiracy theories are ludicrous. >> the vast majority of republicans and vast majority of americans accept that he's a u.s. citizen and capable of being president. >> what do you think about donald trump banging about this every day at the moment? >> well, i think it's a shame.

and i think that my brother should definitely be president for a second term. >> reporter: and, robin, the concern among republican officials is that republican presidential candidates will be forced to respond to this nonsense. and they will either pander to the nonreality base or risk alienating them. that's a choice no politician ever wants to face. robin? >> seems like a no-win situation, jake. thank you. always, the economy a hot topic with all of this political season. and a new sign that the price of gas could be headed for an all-time record. jim avila is with our new haven station, wtnh, on the road, checking out how high the prices could go and how people are dealing with it. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this, of course, is the highest april of recorded gas prices in history. in fact, there's lots of problems all across the nation when it comes to gas prices. among the hardest hit, here in new england. but as we are seeing, as we go down the road here, bargains at gas stations are really hard to find.

connecticut has some of the highest prices in the nation. often higher than $4 a gallon. >> you have to figure out where you want to go before you leave the house. >> reporter: but you know there's an app for that. it's called gas buddy. it seeks the best priced gas in the neighborhood. just-released government figures show the highest prices right now are in the northeast, midwest, and california. at a station in bakersfield reaching $4.89 last week. one economist says, with every dollar hike in gas prices, people are forced to spend 5% less on the rest of their household budget. something angela lewis is familiar with. she already uses coupons to cut down on grocery costs. as prices rise, she's planting a virtual farm in her backyard. >> i researched how to can vegetables and fruits. in addition to that, my husband is going to make a chicken coop for us. >> reporter: she's not the only

one seeking alternate ways to save money on gas. >> probably driving a little bit less. taking the bus a little bit more. >> i'm just going to head out to indiana where prices are cheaper outside the city. >> i'm thinking about buying a bicycle. that might help out. >> reporter: just six weeks ago, we did a story about a station in orlando, already charging more than $5 a gallon. >> costs $5.39. >> i think we'll be going somewhere else. >> reporter: today, that station is charging $5.59. >> i think the higher prices are here to stay. we don't think they'll be going back down to $3.50 on a nationwide average anytime soon. >> reporter: and all this is coming before the heavy driving season of summer. which means we could see more $5 gas in other locations. george? >> thanks, jim avila for that. we're going to turn to japan. one day after the earthquake, the nuclear crisis is officially one of the worst radiation accidents ever.

regulators raised the crisis rating last night to 7, the same level as chernobyl after leaks in the reactors. bob woodruff has been tracking that. and he's just outside the exclusion zone with the latest. >> reporter: whoa. another day, another jolt. our cameras rolling, as the magnitude 6.3 aftershock rattles windows and tests already-frayed nerves. unsettling news, too, at the fukushima nuclear plant, as the japanese government determines that the crisis has risen from a level 5 to a level 7 accident, the first time that's happened since chernobyl 25 years ago. >> under these situations, i think it's prudent to get people out because once you're exposed to radiation, you cannot undo the radiation. >> reporter: the decision came because the amount of radioactive iodine already released could have widespread health effects. in the farming community just

outside the exclusion zone, radiation levels have been elevated for weeks. now, the government is ordering residents here to relocate within 30 days. are you angry about this? i am absolutely sickened, he says. i hate those nuclear plants. this man has been raising dairy cows here for 35 years. he is now forbidden from selling his milk. he cannot even take his animals out because the soil is contaminated. so, now, each everyone, he pours his milk into a tank, drives up a hill and dumps his milk and his profits into a ditch. now, you should know that we're about 25 miles away from the nuclear facilities. but we're not dangerous here because we are going to be here for a short period of time. and for people who live here for long periods of time, they're concerned about them. they're going to try to get them out of here after about 30 days. george? >> right. no one has a good handle on the long-term effects.

bob, thanks very much. now, let's go to juju chang with the rest of the headlines. hey, juju. >> good morning, everyone. we're getting new images of major flooding in the upper midwest. a 30-mile stretch of this interstate in north dakota is simply under water. five rivers are overflowing, some at record levels, surrounding homes in muddy water and stranding livestock. a man suspected of bombing a california synagogue has been arrested at a synagogue in ohio. a rabbi there recognized him. the homemade bomb sent a 300-pound chunk of concrete into a nearby home. police do not believe anti-semitism was a motive. pakistan is demanding the cia drastically reduce the number of agents in that country. it's the latest sign that relations between the allies are strained after the arrest and release of a cia security officer accused of killing two pakistani men. and the identical twins who claim mark zuckerberg stole their idea for facebook, have lost what may be their final legal battle.

an appeals court says tyler and cameron winklevoss need to move on. they were not able to renegotiate the settlement with zuckerberg. they have $160 million. it doesn't go so far as it used to. >> $80 million each? that's not bad. let's go to jeff in for sam. wouldn't it have been nice if we continued the 80-degree weather we had yesterday. not going to happen unfortunately. way to sell it, right? you can see right now, severe weather in parts of the water of virginia and northern florida. might be large hail and gusty winds over 70 miles per hour. and north of that area, yes. we have the 80-degree heat. we're getting rain during the day today. potentially 2 inches over the next 48 hours. from new york city north and east. go

>> and more from jeff in our next half hour. being stuck in an elevator, it's bad any time. especially miserable for more than two dozen people at a new york city subway station trapped for over an hour. their ordeal, well, caught on camera. john berman has their story. >> reporter: for so many people, this is the image of sweaty, nerve-racking, claustrophobic hell. 28 people trapped in an elevator. it happened here in new york at this subway station, when the elevator got stuck underground for an hour. in this video posted by a passenger, you can see it was hot and getting hotter. a young asthmatic girl needed to be fanned. however calm they may have seemed, you can hear the relief when a firefighter arrived. >> i'm not going anywhere. everything's okay. >> reporter: and it was okay, as they were pulled out, although the girl got a bit anxious because, well, nature.

>> i gotta pee! >> reporter: the city says the problem was newly installed hoist ropes. little consolation for those of us riding elevators every day. the thing about an elevator is who you might be stuck with or when they last bathed. for instance, i haven't brushed my teeth or showers for more than 12 hours. the people on the subway elevator were lucky. no 127-hour james franco arm cuttings. or the incredible ordeal survived by nicholas white here in new york. more than 40 hours on an elevator. it's the kind of thing that has us all hitting "door open." for "good morning america," john berman, abc news, new york. >> favorite part was when the firefighter's foot. whoo! >> john had some fun with that. coming up, a "gma" exclusive. in her first interview, the woman at the center of the brett favre sexting scandal speaks out. >> i was approached one day at the beginning of the preseason

i think that's been a lot of the perception that's been put out there. is that i asked for it. and it couldn't be further from the truth. >> it's a "gma" exclusive. the woman at the center of the brett favre scandal, finally speaking out about the staggering allegations that jolted the nfl and the admission that we think will surprise you. i know it surprised you, george. >> it did. and "the facts of life." i asked people on my twitter account, if you like jo, blair, tootie or natalie.

and charlie simon and whoopi goldberg will be here. and first, my interview with jenn sterger no who got caught up in a sexting scandal with one of the top nfl players. she had just began her dream job with the jets. >> he might be in trouble here. >> reporter: he was new to the jets, too, nfl superstar, brett favre. a three-time mvp, husband and dad. >> i'm not going to get into that. >> reporter: last fall, text messages, hard-core photos, voicemail, all online. the nfl investigated. favre denied the worse. silent. being called everything from a gold digger to a home wrecker, she is speaking out now. what happened to your life? >> turned upside down.

you know, i was trying to go to work, do my job. but how are you supposed to report on the news when you are the news? it was tough. it was embarrassing. it was humiliating. >> it seems like you knew there was -- in the moment, nothing you could say to make it better. >> i didn't want anything to do with it. that's the thing. i didn't want anything to do with it in 2008. i don't want anything to do with it in 2010. i still don't want anything to do with it now. the only reason i feel i have to give this interview is because, for me. for my family. this has nothing to do with brett favre. it doesn't. i just want people to know me and know that i'm not a gold digger. and i'm not a home wrecker. >> we have a developing story. >> allegations dwofing quarterback brett favre. >> reporter: the story broke in 2010. but the messages were sent in 2008, when jen worked the sideline as game day host for the jets. she was there, thanks to a big

break in college. at a florida state game in 2005, brent musburger called her out. >> 1,500 americans coming to florida state. >> it exploded from there. within a month, i was getting phone calls from "maxim" and "playboy," asking if i would be interested in posing. both of those were a dream of mine, wanting to be a model. it was one of those chances. you just have to run with it. >> reporter: and you ran with it? >> absolutely. >> reporter: posing for "maxim," and "playboy." a column in "sports illustrated." then, the jets. >> it was like, jenn, here's a microphone. entertain these people. >> reporter: you're on television and you're inside that football culture. kind of explain what it's like for someone like you to be in the middle of it all. >> there is nothing that feels quite as awesome and walking through tunnel in a game day in

the meadowlands. it's just this surge of electricity. i can't explain it. it's amazing. >> reporter: and in the stadium that year, so much buzz about brett favre. after 16 years with the packers, he joined the jets. before long, sterger was in his sights. >> i was approached one day at the beginning of the preseason games, by a man wearing a jets badge, employee badge, who asked me, how would you feel if brett favre asked for your phone number? what would you say? and i just looked at him, my smartass help, and said, i would say i like my job an awful lot. and i've been told i look remarkably like his wife. have a good day. and i walked away. that was the end of it. >> reporter: so, you didn't give -- didn't give the number. >> no. >> reporter: but somehow, he did get it? >> somehow. >> reporter: the text messages followed. then, voicemails.

>> i'd love to see you tonight. just got done with practice. if you can make it, it would be great. >> reporter: when you get them, what would you do? >> i was more so trying to figure out who i was interacting with. there was no actual, hey, jenn, it's brett. >> reporter: how did you figure out it was him? >> just clues. they would always give me the pieces of the puzzle. 40 years old. gray hair. new to the team. that only fit a few guys on the team. no. only one. >> reporter: he's the big star. he's it. >> it wasn't flattering, if that's what you're implying. >> reporter: no? >> no. he's married. and more than anything, i feel that it was intimidating than anything else. >> reporter: why answer? >> why answer? when all of this happened, i consulted several people. i said, hey, this is the situation that's going on right

now. i said, i really don't know what to do. every, single one of them gave the same answer. if you like your job and you want to keep it, i suggest you be quiet. do your job. >> reporter: leave it alone? >> don't complain. >> reporter: did you send him a text saying, if this is you, smile at me? >> no. i don't really recall all of the texts. i don't know what was in them. sorry. >> reporter: but there's one thing she knows for sure. >> i don't know him. >> reporter: never met him? >> i've never met him. we've never met. there's never been an introduction. we've never been any closer than this. and that was in passing in the tunnels and stuff before and after games. that's it. >> reporter: i think that's going to shock just about everyone who has had a passing acquaintance with your story. never met him? >> no. >> they never met. >> never met? >> not once. when we come back, what jenn thought when she saw those photos on her phone.

what she did then. and what she wants from favre now. >> i realize, i'm in a lot of trouble. i realize how serious it is. and this isn't going to go away. [ boy ] there's something inside your mcdonald's happy meal.

and we are back with more of my exclusive interview with jenn sterger, the new york jets tv host caught up with in a sexting scandal with brett favre. it was all investigated by the nfl last fall. they concluded that jenn did nothing wrong. but fined favre $50,000 for not cooperating with the probe.

sterger is speaking out now. here, we learn how she handled those persistent and increasingly graphic messages. what's happening in the back and forth, then? is it pairing? >> it's staving him off. i'm busy. i'll talk to you later. i'm busy. i'm busy. he was like that guy at the bar that could not get the hint. >> reporter: so, he steps it up? >> i guess you could say that. >> reporter: favre allegedly sends sterger several pictures by phone. pornographic photos of himself. when the pictures come, what do you do? >> i realize i'm in a lot of trouble. i realize what this is and that it's not going to go away. >> reporter: but you're absolutely confident, you didn't do anything that would make him think, this is okay? >> no. >> reporter: and when he did, he didn't -- no encouragement? stave him off.

try to, you know, sort of keep on doing your job. >> i staved him off. and i did my job. >> reporter: after these few exchanges in the 2008 season, it seems like he had gone away. they stopped? >> they disappeared. >> reporter: sterger left the jets around then and started to work on a show called "the daily life." but sterger picked the wrong friend to confide in. a blogger behind the website deadspin. he broke her confidence and published all of the details in august 2010. >> i didn't want it to get out. i dealt with it. and it was over. the story comes out. and it's like someone punches you in the stomach because, you dealt with it, you dealt with it by yourself. you kept quiet. but then, when everybody knows, it's out there in the public like that, there's this perception of you that people

automatically start to think, oh, she's a gold digger. she's a home wrecker. i'm none of those things. i've never met the man. >> reporter: you confided in this blogger. how did he get the texts and the pictures and the voicemails? >> i have no idea. that's something you have to talk to him about. >> reporter: you did not give the texts, the voicemails, the pictures to the blogger? >> no. >> reporter: you did not take money for them? >> no. i haven't made a dime off anything in this whole situation. not from the pictures. not from favre. that was never an intention of mine. >> reporter: he's reported that he paid $12,000 to a third party for them. and i think a lot of people wonder, how would someone else, a third party, get your texts and voicemails and those pictures? >> i wish i could answer that. >> reporter: did you ever give them to anyone? >> i shared them with individuals when i was asking for advice. but that's it. >> reporter: so, presumably someone you knew betrayed you for money.

that's got to hurt. >> i don't think there's an aspect of this whole thing that really doesn't hurt. >> reporter: and what hurts most of all, the idea that sterger manufactured this media hype to propel her career. >> it's never been my intention to ever play victim in this whole thing. but because the way i looked, i don't feel sorry looking at the girl that i was in 2008. look at how i looked. people would say i asked for it. i think that's been a lot of the perception that's been put out there is that i asked for it. and it couldn't be further from the truth. >> reporter: you want nothing from brett favre? >> absolutely nothing. it was never my intention. i don't want anything from him. i never wanted anything from him. >> reporter: does he owe you an apology? >> i don't really care if he gives me one or not. i just want to move on. >> reporter: do you owe anyone an apology? >> i don't think so. i didn't really do anything wrong.

>> reporter: and you gain weight, it's even harder. they sent you away to a weight loss camp. >> a fat farm. three of them. >> reporter: did it hurt? >> oh, yes. of course, it hurt. it did at the time. >> reporter: the fat farms didn't work. she didn't lose weight. but the producers made a good call. to just let all of the girls be themselves. >> i'm so grateful that it turned out the way it did, that i looked like a normal teenage girl. we looked like normal teenage girls. you didn't have to be a size 2. >> reporter: that wasn't the only way the show was unique. it was a really radical thing to have all the lead characters be female. in the day, that wasn't done, right? >> it was radical to be the person of color, on the show and to be treated as an equal. to be treated the same across the board, it was astounding. >> and i have to say, as nata e natalie, being overweight,

people come up to me and say, it was so amazing to see an overweight character that wasn't a joke. >> may i help you? >> i'm looking for blair warner. >> reporter: it was the first television series ever to have a cast member that had a disability. >> it says i don't have cerebral palsy. i'm drunk. >> reporter: blair's cousin geri, played by geri jewell. >> i have to tell you something funny about that t-shirt. that t-shirt i made, i didn't know how to spell cerebral palsy. i didn't know how to spell it until i did "facts of life." >> reporter: the highest rated of all 209 episodes was when 1 of the girls lost her virginity. it was a story line originally meant for blair, until lisa whelchel refused to do it. >> somebody has to do something at this point. let it be me. it would be spread over the course of four episodes. >> reporter: while they did learn plenty from their long-running show, they didn't get rich doing it. >> we got paid.

she's been so great for the show. >> she's been a fan favorite. and seeing her with maks, she's softened him a little bit. at the top of the leaderboard, chelsea kane. >> i think she's doing a great job. risky choreography. they keep hit young. and mark is doing a great job of keeping it interesting for her. we don't know who her audience is. but she leaves her mark. >> len gave mark a hard time last night about the choreography. >> he did. but at the same time, i give mark a lot of credit because len famed to mention that mark put a lot of the classical moves in there. and that's unfortunate. that's unfortunate. >> tony, i think a lot of people agree with you. hines ward, come on. he's doing so great. and you would think he'd get a little -- higher scores than he's getting out there. >> after i watched the dress

rehearsal, i honestly thought he would be the top score last night. with his paso doble, i was saying 9, 9, 9. when they came up with that score, i thought, this is surprising. the guy really performed to the music. he gave it all he had. i was very surprised. but at the same time, maybe this will rally the pittsburgh steelers fans and will vote him all the way to the end. >> the terrible towels are out right now. people are saying, don't worry. they'll protect him. tony, who do you think we'll see going home tonight? >> you know, this is a tough choice because we have some people that have made some really great improvements, like -- the wrestler. >> chris. >> chris jericho. its escaped my mind. i was trying to remember his real name. chris jericho has made some good improvements. but i think he might be in trouble. petra might be in trouble. even li'l romeo, i think.

the people that stay at the same level normally end up being in trouble. >> all right. we'll have to find out. we don't know. we hated to see you and wendy go last week. >> you're sweet. and i do want to mention that i give sugar ray leonard a lot of credit for being in tights. >> i do, too. >> tommy hearnes is feeling really good right now. >> you're the man, tony. thanks so much. i know we'll be talking to you throughout the season. have a great day in l.a. you'll find out who will be the next to leave the dance floor tonight on "dancing with the stars" at 8:00, 9:00 central right here. join us on twitter. carly simon live, next. come on back.

that is carly simon singing "take me out to the ball game." it's with her new book, "take me out to the ball game." i never knew about her connection to baseball or to one of the game's legends. she's here to talk all about it. your family loved baseball. you took jackie robinson, who broke the color barrier, into your home in 1964? >> yes. there's still evidence, that stanford, connecticut, where we

were living, was a segregated community, even though they tried to put it politely behind the doors and under the skirts. my mother got ahold of rachel robinson, jackie's widow, and became her closest friend. and she said, meet me on the highway. i will take you in my car. we will go around to all of the real estate people. we'll go to the newspapers. we'll go to the priests. we'll go to the rabbis. we'll go to the schools and make a big deal out of it because this should not be happening. that's what happened. she ended up taking rachel around with her to see a lot of land. >> they lived with her. and you learned about baseball from jackie robinson. >> yeah. he taught me how to hit over the right field center. i so wanted to be a baseball player. it was my whole life. >> now, you get to sing about it.

>> that's the part that everybody knows. but tell me about katie case who comes up in the second set of lyrics, who is the star of your book. >> well, jack norworth, who wrote the lyrics, i'm told was on a train passing by yankees stadium or giants stadium. and i don't know what he used, tin pan alley or what was his intention. but he wrote the words and gave them to a friend of his who was a composer. he set the words to music. and it's just about entered the greatest songs of all-man kind. >> you can hear it if you buy the book. and on the cd, as well. >> it's a great book. and the song is, of course, the unofficial mascot song of

baseball. and it's sung in just about every seventh inning stretch everywhere with every major league baseball team. >> carly simon, thanks very much. we'll be back with "sister act." ♪
