THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
DON LEMON, CNN ANCHOR: Right now on CNN, the news for your week ahead, including exclusive information on the president's budget to be released this week. The cuts are so drastic, we're hearing his own party won't be happy. Are you ready to take a hit?
A crazed knife-wielding man goes on a 28-hour stabbing rampage in New York, randomly choosing his victims. Four people are dead, more are injured, and wait until you hear how it all ended.
Super Bowl ticket holders left in a lurch following a class action lawsuit against the NFL for millions. How much money and groveling will it take to satisfy them? I talk to their attorney.
And a truly outrageous night at the Grammy's. What the heck were the biggest names in music thinking when they got dressed? Lady Gaga, in particular, giving the word "outfit" a whole new meaning.
Good evening, everyone. I'm Don Lemon.
First, let's get you caught up on the day's news.
We start tonight in New York, where the suspect in a terrifying rampage is awaiting arraignment. Maksim Gelman allegedly went on a stabbing spree that lasted 28 hours. He's accused of knifing three people to death, killing a man with a car, slashing five other people and two carjackings. Police finally caught up with him in a bloody confrontation on a subway car. More on this in three minutes.
In Mexico City, eight people are dead after a drive-by shooting in the suburbs. Police say this may be part of the turf war among drug gangs. That kind of violence usually happens closer to the U.S. border, but there's been an uptick in this area recently. We'll get more in depth on this at the half hour.
In Cairo, Egypt's military rulers are wasting little time taking charge. The constitution has been suspended and parliament is no more. But the military says it has no intention of staying longer than necessary. It vows to return power to civilian leadership in six months or when elections can be held. Egyptian activists warn of more mass demonstrations if the military does not act quickly to restore confidence. But there are growing signs of life returning to normal. Reports from Cairo just ahead. To the east of Egypt. Pro-democracy activists hope to force change in their own nations. Hundreds of protesters marched in Yemen's capital today. Security forces blocked their path as they approached the presidential palace. Protesters chanted "First Mubarak, Now Ali," referring to the president, who has ruled their nation for 32 years. Witnesses reported seeing scuffles between demonstrators and police. At least 12 people were arrested.
In Algeria, pro-democracy activists are calling for another rally one week from today. Demonstrators reportedly clashed with police today, one day after a much bigger protest in the capital. The State Department says it's following the protests closely and that the rights of the Algerian people to freedom of expression and assembly should be respected.
Across Italy today, a wave of protests against Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators, mostly women, turned out in more than 200 Italian cities. Berlusconi has been dogged by a series of sex scandals. Protesters say they're fed up with the way he treats women and the way women are treated in Italian society.
President Barack Obama tomorrow unveils his new federal budget for 2012. Most of the details are still under wraps but the White House says it will cut deficits by $1.1 trillion over the next 10 years. We do know the president plans a 5-year freeze on non-security discretionary spending for a savings of $400 billion. He's also proposing $100 billion in cuts to the Pell grant program. CNN's senior political editor Mark Preston with the full story straight ahead.
The head of a grocery store chain in the western United States has resigned after being arrested on child prostitution charges. Michael Gilliland was CEO of Sunflower Farmers Market. He also founded Wild Oats Market, which was later sold to Whole Foods. Gilliland is accused of soliciting sex from a girl, who identified herself as a minor. Police say he set up a meeting with the girl online and drove to a Phoenix hotel to have sex.
The ultimate buzz killer just hit Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion. The Los Angeles County Health Department is investigating if the mansion is linked to the illnesses of about 100 people. The victims told our affiliate KTLA they became sick after attending a fundraiser there earlier this month. Symptoms included fever, violent headaches and breathing problems. Some of the sick have already been diagnosed with a mild form of Legionnaires' disease. >
Boeing has unveiled the newest version of its legendary 747 passenger jet. The 747-8 Intercontinental is designed to be quieter and more fuel-efficient than previous versions with added payload and longer range. It's also Boeing's biggest passenger plane ever, more than 15 feet longer than the most recent version of the 747. That's according to the "Wall Street Journal." First deliveries are expected in the fall.
I have a warning for you. This story contains some disturbing images. Police say a 23-year-old man used this knife on a 28-hour rampage through three New York City boroughs. Maksim Gelman is expected to be arraigned later tonight on four counts of murder. And CNN's Stephanie Elam tracks Gelman's alleged stabbing spree, carjackings and hit-and- run that involved at least nine victims.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
STEPHANIE ELAM, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): Twenty-eight hours of terror ended in a New York City subway car with murder suspect Maksim Gelman in custody. Police accuse the 23-year-old of killing four people and slashing four others.
The rampage begins 5:00 a.m. Friday. Police say Gelman stabs and kills his stepfather during a dispute over Gelman's mother's Lexus. He uses the car to flee the scene.
10:00 a.m., he drives to the home of his ex-lover, Jelena Bulchenko. Her mother is home. He allegedly stabs her to death, then waits for the daughter to return.
4:15 p.m., Bulchenko finds her mother and calls 911. Then police say he attacks her. She tries to escape but he stabs her to death just outside her home.
Five minutes later, Gelman on the move again, rear ends a Pontiac a few blocks away and, according to police, stabs a 60-year-old driver in the chest. The man survives. But Gelman steals the Pontiac and allegedly strikes and kills a 62-year-old pedestrian as he flees, his fourth victim in less than 12 hours.
1:00 a.m. Saturday, police say Gilman hails a Livery cab in Brooklyn and stabs the driver in the shoulder and neck. He survives but Gelman's rampage isn't over. Shortly afterwards, police say Gelman approaches yet another car, a Nissan, demanding the keys from the owner.
SHELDON POTTINGER, CARJACKING AND STABBING VICTIM: He looked crazy. He looked like a crazy guy. As soon as he reached my car door, he pulled the door and pulled a knife and started pushing and said, "get out of the car, I'm going to kill you."
ELAM: The victim fell out of the car and ran. His hands were cut in the attack.
Daylight Saturday morning, NYPD gets a 911 tip that Gelman is on the subway in Manhattan. Another witness gets off the train and tells police a man who looked like Gelman just knocked a newspaper out of her hand and said, quote, "Do you believe what they're writing about me?"
8:45 a.m., Gelman moves to a train going the opposite direction and police say he stabs a 40-year-old man in the neck.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: People were running and screaming and I attempted to the back of the train, get to the back of the train. ELAM: Gelman pounds on the train conductor's door, claiming to be police. But inside are two real NYPD officers, one grabs Gelman, the other recovers the knife.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You know, it's so horrendous and bizarre. We have no reason that we can give you as to why he did this.
ELAM (on camera): Police say Gelman has had several run-ins with the law for drugs and graffiti, but nothing nearly as serious as these 28 hours.
Stephanie Elam, CNN, New York.

LEMON: All right, Stephanie, thank you very much.
Devolution in Egypt. It's not the same as the civil rights movement witnessed here 50 years ago, but there are some similarities. We're talking to the daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
It may be the fastest resignation from Congress in history. Just hours after this picture of Congressman Christopher Lee went public, he packed up and left Washington. We're asking a human behavior expert why men sometimes do really stupid things.
And we're watching the red carpet at tonight's Grammy's, eyeing those who look gorgeous and, yes, those who look absolutely ridiculous.
Did you see Lady Gaga? Oh, just you wait for this one.
I'm online. I know you are, too. Check out my social media accounts.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
LEMON: This might seem strange but a traffic jam in downtown Cairo is a welcome sight these days. It's a sign that life is slowly returning to normal. CNN's Frederik Pleitgen is in Tahrir Square, where sounds of commerce and cars never sounded so sweet.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
FREDERIK PLEITGEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Only a few days ago, this place here was a battleground. We're right on Tahrir Square. But now, what's happening ever since Hosni Mubarak stood down is that shops are actually re-opening here on the Square. This is a souvenir shop. We have also seen travel agencies that are re-opening in a bid to try and get life back to normal.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, I am very happy because we are in work here today.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We need to leave the Square now.
PLEITGEN: There are still a few protesters here at Tahrir Square, but many are telling us that now, they feel, is the time to go home. They don't believe that the protests should continue. They think it's time to go back to work. These people over here are saying that now is the time to rebuild Egypt and to stop protesting.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. The most important thing now we have to clean our Square, then we have to go back to our work and do our jobs. So, Egypt has a great zeal. Then we have to do our best to make our country high and high.
PLEITGEN: At the same time, you have a lot of traffic that has come back at Tahrir Square. Most of the area here is now open to cars. As you can see, there are a lot of vehicles that going through here. The streets are jam-packed as they were before the demonstrations. Although right now, it's army soldiers who are directing traffic rather than the traffic police. We only see very few traffic police. But it is another sign that life is getting back to normal here on Tahrir Square and, indeed, in all of Egypt.
Fred Pleitgen, CNN, Cairo, Egypt.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
LEMON: It's not all quiet in Cairo, though. After the tumultuous events of the past three weeks, the protest could be considered supremely ironic, this one at least. Police officers marched today to demand higher pay, better benefits, shorter hours and more respect. The Egyptian police force has been harshly criticized for its violent crashes with demonstrators during the early days of the uprising. Bank employees also staged their own protests to seek better pay and the resignation of some top banking executives.
Disturbing news for those concerned about Egypt's priceless artifacts and antiquities. Egyptian officials now say an inventory of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo reveals at least 17 ancient treasures are missing, including a gilded wooden statue of King Tut. The artifacts may have been stolen during a reported break-in on January 28th in the early days of the national uprising.
Despite some obvious differences, many people see parallels between the revolution in Egypt and the civil rights movement in the U.S. One reason is the 50-year-old comic book, this one right here, that tells the story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his philosophy of nonviolent civil disobedience. In 2008, it was translated into Arabic for distribution in the Middle East.
And tonight, I spoke with Dr. King's daughter, the Reverend Bernice King, and I asked her if she was aware that this comic book -- of this comic book about her father may have played a role in the Egyptian uprising.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
REV. BERNICE KING, MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.'S DAUGHTER: I didn't know it actually until last evening. A gentleman that I know sent it to me. And I was not surprised, because I know that the nonviolent movement that our father led has inspired so many movements across the world. And when it happened, I said, there has to be some influence of daddy in this. I mean, when it's all said and done and it's over, we're going to discover it. And so I was delighted to discover it.
There is a distinct difference. In my father's nonviolence, we call it Kingian nonviolence, you seek to defeat injustice, putting injustice out of business and put justice in business. It's not about defeating a person.
And so, we have to lift that up. And that's what we're trying to do through the King Center under my brother's leadership et cetera.
Its time, its relevance. For all those people who said nonviolence doesn't work anymore, this is a common day example that it continues to work and galvanizes, especially young people. I was inspired by the fact that this was led predominantly by young people, which was the movement.
LEMON: Which was the movement -- that's what I was going to say.
As you started to watch these pictures, which was, what, 19, 20 days ago now, coming out here on CNN and watching all those pictures, did you go -- did something click in your head and go, oh, did you think that there was a possibility through that nonviolence in the beginning that this -- it would transpire into this?
KING: You know, I wasn't sure. I was concerned. And I was -- I was -- I was -- I was ecstatic when I heard all of the reports and when the message spread about them insisting on being nonviolent, because in the end, nonviolence wins. Violence only leaves in its wake other violence.
LEMON: Yes.
KING: And so this postures them now to be in a better position. And my hope is people will understand that nonviolence is not just a tactic that we embrace. But, as daddy taught those in the movement, that it's a way of life, and especially for courageous people, and these young people were certainly courageous.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
LEMON: Thank you, Bernice King.
You know, we've been following the videos that you've been watching online this week, and among the best is this one.
Three hundred bottles of wine on the shelf. OK. Make that none.
And it's tax time already. Ahead, some tips that may save you some money.
We've got the winners and the losers that you care about from tonight's Grammy Awards. Who were the best and the most outrageously dressed? We've got the top five of both lists right here. Among the best dressed, Nicole Kidman, who attended with her husband, country singer Keith Urban. Stick around. One of the most outrageous is just ahead.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
LEMON: Welcome back, everyone.
Throughout the newscast, we're going to give you the Grammy's best dressed and the most outrageous. Rihanna's white and see-through combination got our attention, but not necessarily in a good way. But her dress was definitely not the most ridiculous on the red carpet, but -- I don't know, not good to look at. We'll show you who outdid Rihanna, just ahead here on CNN.
Time now for your viral videos. You might think children in America are not keyed into the events in Egypt. Well, I want you to check out this video, which quickly went viral when it was posted a few days ago.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED GIRLS (CHANTING): Yes, yes, Hosni Mubarak. Yes, good, yes, good, Hosni Mubarak.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
LEMON: The parents said the girls were so riveted by the breaking news in Cairo that they refused to go to bed and said they insisted on staging their own anti-Mubarak rally in their living room. The family used to live in Egypt, so the girls have a strong emotional connection to the country.
Well, next time you have a bad day at work, OK, pay attention, remember this poor schmuck. He was restocking wine in the liquor store when the entire shelf did that. Collapsed. Three hundred bottles of wine smashed all over the floor. The guy's roommate says he was not fired and was not required to pay for any of it, but he did have to clean it all up.
Poor guy.
All right. No matter how skilled a cyclist you are, you can't prepare for everything. This unlucky biker was violently rear-ended. There he is. Right there. There he is. Rear-ended after stopping behind the car. But what made this helmet cam video go viral was the fact that the cyclist landed on his feet. The bike was badly damaged, but the biker not seriously hurt.
If you like these, well, you ain't seen nothing yet. Our favorite viral videos, coming up in about 20 minutes. You don't want to miss them right here on CNN.
Tomorrow isn't only Valentine's Day but it's only the day the IRS will begin processing all tax returns. It's been a tax season of many changes and we want to make sure that you're ready to file. Our Christine Romans is in New York for us, "Mastering your Money."
Hi, Christine.
CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT: Don, let's start with the good news. The IRS extended the federal tax deadline this year until April 18th. But not all state deadlines are the same, so you need to check to find out what your state deadline is, so you don't miss that one.
And the IRS is cutting back, just like you. It won't be sending out paper forms this year. So you have to download what you need at irs.gov.
And, Don, listen up. You're about to save some money right here. According to Turbo Tax, two-thirds of taxpayers take the standard deduction. If you're one of them, don't pay even a penny to prepare your taxes. There are free tax prep options available. Find out which ones you qualify for at irs.gov -- Don.
LEMON: Good advice. Thank you, Christine.
We have exclusive details tonight about President Obama's budget proposals. He will reveal it tomorrow and not only will conservatives attack it, some members of his own party won't like it either.
And a trip to the Super Bowl, a once-in-a-lifetime moment for some, but it's no fun when the seats you paid for aren't even there. The NFL has offered to make up the mistake, but some have already filed suit. We're talking to one of the attorneys.
Musicians, well, they crowned the best among them tonight, but we've got the winners you really want to know about at the Grammy's. Pool of the best, of course. Among the top five best dressed -- Kim Kardashian's golden gown outshined many others there. She even had sparkly skin to match her dress.
Can you believe I'm reporting on this.
All right. See one of the most outrageously outfitted on the other side of the break.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
LEMON: All right. This could be crowned the craziest get-up of the night but it's not. However, Katy Perry with her wings did make our top five most outrageously dressed at the Grammy's. Stick around for some of the Grammy's winning looks.
Time now for "Preston on Politics." Our senior political editor Mark Preston is in Washington tonight.
So, Mark, we're going to preview the week ahead in a second. But first, I hear you had a conversation with blogger Andrew Breitbart this weekend at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference. What did he have to say?
MARK PRESTON, CNN POLITICAL EDITOR: Well, Don, you know, Andrew Breitbart is really this larger-than-life figure when it comes to Hollywood, when it comes to the conservative voice in Hollywood. He was at CPAC. He gave one of the keynote addresses. There was also a lot of panels about how conservatives can make it in Hollywood. Well, you know, Andrew Breitbart had some interesting things to say. In fact, the old adage that the casting couch is the way to success in Hollywood, well, that might not be true. Let's hear what he had to say.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ANDREW BREITBART, PUBLISHER, BREITBART.COM: You know, Hollywood has always been known for the casting couch is that it's the predominant aspect of how you get into the industry. I would say that that's almost a bygone burden. I think that the current burden is that if we're getting off the bus into Hollywood now, the first thing that we're taught is going to certain social events, charitable events.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
LEMON: This is going to be a very big story in the coming week, and we're talking about the president's budget, right?
PRESTON: Yes, we are. And, look, this is the biggest political story that I'm going to look at this week. It sounds very policy oriented but it's going to be a really herculean task for the Obama administration to not only get conservatives on its side but also liberals on its side.
In fact, I just got off the phone with a very prominent liberal activist and I said, "how are you going to take the president's budget tomorrow?" Of course, a lot has been leaked out over the past couple of days, and we saw Jacob Lew, the White House official on State of the Union this morning, acknowledging that there's going to be some tough cuts that Democrats won't like.
And this is what the activist said to me. The activist said that anything that President Obama does in his cuts is going to be looked through basically the periscope of what he did in giving the millionaires tax cuts back in December. So, that famous tax cut deal of extending the Bush tax cuts, liberal activists are going to say, "if you can do that for them, how can you make cuts to programs that are very important to liberals?"
LEMON: A big story that affects all Americans, each and every one of us, Mark. Thank you.
We're following a developing story tonight where eight people have been killed in a drive-by shooting in Mexico. What police say may be behind it.
And powerful winds knocking down trees, power lines, and burning down homes as they blow across the country. And it will have an impact on your morning commute, especially if you're flying. Meteorologist Jacqui Jeras has your morning weather and tomorrow's commute tonight.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
LEMON: Getting back now to that developing story out of Mexico, out of the suburbs, the city suburbs there. Eight people are dead after a drive-by shooting. Six men, two women. Police say this may be part of the turf war among drug gangs. This kind of violence usually happens closer to the U.S. border, but there has been an uptick in this area recently as our Nick Valencia explained earlier.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
NICK VALENCIA, CNN NATIONAL DESK: The majority of the violence is concentrated in three states of Mexico. You hear about Ciudad Juarez all the time. Northern Mexico really is the battleground for the cartels. This area has been highly contentious recently. We just got off the phone recently with the Mexican attorney general's office, (INAUDIBLE), Jessica De Amante there with us, told us that this area has seen a recurrence of drug violence and prosecutors are very nervous about that recurring theme.
LEMON: Does that mean it's spreading, though? That's what I'm asking.
VALENCIA: It is -- last year, in the development of the drug war in 2010, what you saw, what worried people was that this violence was starting to get to the fringes of tourist areas. Now, the violence is starting to become part of the tourist areas. Yesterday, we saw that happen in Guadalajara, Mexico, second largest city.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
LEMON: Now to our correspondents from Washington to Wall Street, with their preview of the big stories in the week ahead. We begin at the White House.
DAN LOTHIAN, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: I'm Dan Lothian at the White House. On Monday, President Obama heads to Baltimore County, where he'll visit a school and lay out key provisions of his 2012 budget. Then on Tuesday, along with the first President Bush, he will be awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor, to 15 individuals. Later in the week, on Thursday, President Obama heads west to San Francisco for a fundraiser, then up to Oregon, where he'll tour an intel facility and talk about preparing the next generation for high-tech jobs.
BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT: I'm Brianna Keilar covering Capitol Hill. Expect Congress to sound off on Monday when the president's budget arrives at the Capitol. But the big story we're following this week, the showdown over spending cuts, about to hit the House floor with debate and votes. This follows a week when Republican leaders had to bow to their conservative members who wanted even more cuts than leaders would initially commit to.
POPPY HARLOW, HOST, CNN MONEY: A big week ahead, and Wall Street will be watching closely as President Obama unveils his 2012 budget proposal on Monday. Right now, the national debt stands at $14 trillion and the president is expected to propose temporarily freezing spending on non-security discretionary items and also he may call for cuts in defense spending. Also coming up this week on Wall Street, the latest retail sales numbers and also two key inflation readings. And we'll get the latest home building numbers, as well as a number of corporate earnings, including numbers from Dell and Comcast. That's all ahead. We'll track it for you on "CNN Money."
LEMON: All right. Thank you very much.
And now, tomorrow's commute tonight. Some windy weather is blowing across the country. Out west, they're cleaning up this mess in the Midwest and East. It could affect your Monday morning commute. Jacqui Jeras here with all the details.
Jacqui, it's going to be a bad one for a lot of folks.
JACQUI JERAS, AMS METEOROLOGIST: I think it is. You know, you look outside, and you say, oh, it's gorgeous out there. But the winds have been howling and that has been a huge problem. We have issued yesterday across parts of the West.
(WEATHER REPORT)
LEMON: Yes. And the windy areas. Hang on to those roads because they might blow away.
JERAS: That's right. A good reason to get close to your loved one.
LEMON: Happy Valentine's Day, Jacqui.
All right. Homes have become more affordable. But that's not good news for everyone. And your workspace might be slinking. CNN's Stephanie Elam explains in this week's "Getting Down to Business."
STEPHANIE ELAM, CNN BUSINESS NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Things might be looking up for the hard hit labor market. The number of workers filing for new unemployment benefits dropped by 36,000 to the lowest level since July of 2008. That's according to a report released by the labor department on Thursday. And while companies are easing up on lay-offs, hiring remains sluggish. Nationwide, unemployment is still high at 9 percent.
We saw some mixed signals from the housing market last week. Over the past year, home prices dropped to pre-housing bubble levels. Moody (INAUDIBLE) says that makes home buying more affordable. But these lower prices have put more current homeowners under water, meaning they owe more on their mortgage than their house is worth. Real estate website zillow.com reports that 27 percent of homeowners are under water.
The walls of your office are closing in on you, literally. In 1994, the average worker had 90 square feet of office space. In 2010, we're down to just 75 square feet per person. For those in the corner office, have not been feeling the squeeze. Space for top executives over the same period has actually increased.
That's this week's "Getting Down to Business." Stephanie Elam, CNN, New York.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
LEMON: OK. So who wore the wackiest ensemble at the Grammy's? Ricky Martin's form-fitting fashion choices tonight made it to our -- to our top five most outrageous. But he is not the most outrageous. We'll have that straight ahead.
You know, if you blinked, you may have missed this scandal. Less than five hours after this picture went public, Christopher Lee resigned as a Republican congressman from New York. Lee is married. However, this picture was not sent to his wife but to a woman seeking a date on Craigslist. And we know what you're thinking. What was he thinking? Human behavior expert, Wendy Walsh -- Dr. Wendy Walsh gave me her insight.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
WENDY WALSH, PSYCHOLOGIST: Sometimes people could be deluded with power and think they're completely invincible and uncatchable. They could have an attachment injury and just have the need for constant attention from many women. They could just have low self-esteem. But I noticed, Don...
LEMON: It could just be -- it could just be libido and testosterone.
WALSH: It might be. But the fact is if he just wanted to get laid, he wouldn't have used his real name. The fact that he used his real name tells me that maybe he had some unconscious reason. He wanted to get caught. He was looking for boundaries. Because people who aren't good at self-regulating often are attracted to organizations, like the police, the military, the ministry, conservative politics, organizations that have very strict rules and boundaries because they look outside of themselves to stop themselves.
So here he used his real name. It's like he was asking to be caught.
LEMON: And so you don't think it was -- I don't know if we can say that word. You know, we call them horns. You don't think it was just him being a guy?
WALSH: A dog?
LEMON: A guy.
And he's like, hey, I look pretty good, I work out, I've got -- you know, I'm attractive, I'm going to send it to this chick, she's going to go, yeah, baby. You don't think it was just that on some level?
WALSH: Of course he was just being a guy. And it would have come out. His psychology would have come out in a different way were he a woman. But the fact that he used his real name and took these risks tells me that there's a psychological underpinning to it.
LEMON: OK. A doctor, here's what every guy, I'm not kidding you, said, when we were talking about this, why did he put his face on it? And I went, OK, really?
WALSH: Not only his face but his name. And the answer is, I think on some level he wanted to be caught and I think he was looking for someone to stop him and, oops, we did.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
LEMON: All right. Picture in your mind the graceful motion of the skier weaving back and forth down a mountain slope except it's not snow, it's a giant wave. You got to see it. Viral videos, coming up.
Country sensation Miranda Lambert made a grand entrance on the red carpet at the Grammy's tonight. We've dubbed her one of the best dressed, but one celeb even outshined Lambert. Find out who. Coming up.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
LEMON: So throughout this hour, we've shown you the most outrageous at tonight's Grammy's, and Lady Gaga could not be ignored. OK. Whatever. The singer arrives in an egg. It looks more like a pod or big pea pod. Looks like - I don't know, a girl on a pickle or something. That's right. An egg type thing to symbolize, her rep says the birth of a new race. However nuts that sounds, Gaga was not the most outrageous of the night. That look, still ahead here on CNN.
You know, we've had lots of snow lately. But this snow day video quickly went viral.

LEMON: Expert skier Chuck Patterson strapped on two water-skis and two ski poles to surf the giant waves of Maui known as Jaws. Well, Patterson is an expert big wave surfer but this is the first time he mixed downhill skiing with surfing. As far as anyone knows, Chuck is the first person to pull off this stunt. It's incredibly difficult because water-skis are much smaller than a surfboard.

As many of you know, if you follow the Super Bowl, about 400 fans found out when they got to Cowboys Stadium that they did not have seats. They were supposed to sit in a temporary area where seats were being added to try to break the Super Bowl attendance record. But the seats were not completed in time.
Michael Avenatti is an attorney representing plaintiffs in the class action suit filed over the ticket snafu. Well, I talked with him and asked him who the plaintiffs are in this case.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MICHAEL AVENATTI, SUPER BOWL TICKET SUIT ATTORNEY: The plaintiffs in this case, Don, are the fans that were displaced at Cowboys Stadium last Sunday together with all the fans that were delayed in getting to their seats.
LEMON: How many people are we talking about here?
AVENATTI: We're talking about approximately 2500 to 3,000 people.
LEMON: All right. Why weren't they told before they got to the game that they didn't have seats?
AVENATTI: Well, that's an excellent question and one that we hope to get to the bottom of, because it's clear to us, based on comments made by the NFL that the NFL was fully aware, before Sunday, that there were problems with these seats and yet they ignored the problems, hoping that it would simply go away.
LEMON: How much are you asking for? I understand it's millions, is that correct?
AVENATTI: Well, we've alleged $5 million in the complaint. We think it's going to take about that to adequately compensate these fans.
LEMON: Wait, wait, Michael. $5 million for a Super Bowl ticket?
AVENATTI: No. We're not -- we're not talking about $5 million per fan, Don, we're talking...
LEMON: No, I understand that. But $5 million for missing the Super Bowl. I mean, just to the average person, it sounds like a lot of money.
AVENATTI: Well, the fact of the matter is, is that the average cost to attend the Super Bowl for a fan is somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 to $10,000. A lot of these people took out loans, sold assets, a lot of these people are diehard football fans that made this a once- in-a-lifetime opportunity. They got there and they were not given what was sold to them. It's just that simple.
LEMON: OK. So, let me get -- I understand that the NFL made two offers to the fans, to the 400 fans who did not get the seats to the game. They can get a free ticket to next year's Super Bowl plus a cash payment of $2400, three times, they say, the face value of the year -- of the ticket. And then others can get a ticket to a future Super Bowl, but you don't get the cash settlement. And you say still that's just not enough?
AVENATTI: It's not enough because in many instances it won't compensate people for what they spent for the ticket alone, let alone all of the travel expenses associated with attending the Super Bowl. What we have proposed is that the NFL step up and merely reimburse people for what they paid along with some other nominal consideration, whether it be tickets or something of that nature. This really isn't that complicated. They need to take care of their fans and their customers.
