Aired January 08, 2014 - 23:00 ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
JOHN QUINONES, ABC NEWS: Please join us next time for another edition of "WHAT WOULD YOU DO?" on HLN.
A.J. HAMMER, HOST: Right now on the "Top Ten Countdown," the Photoshop frenzy over Kim Kardashian`s infamous assets. Did she fake the photo? Well, we are here to get to the bottom of this controversy with our very own forensic expert.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We started kissing. She kept, like, stopping. I`m like, what`s wrong? She`s like something is wrong down there.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Dangerous sex revealed. A sexy closet romp ends with a couple heading to the emergency room. And that`s when things get really cray- cray. Now the couple tells all about their sexcapades. And SBT starts right now.
Hello, I`m A.J. Hammer. Thank you for watching.
It`s our "Top Ten Countdown" of today`s top ten must-see, must-share stories. Let`s fire it up with No. 10. And we are opening up the Photoshop forensic files. Yes, the Photoshop frenzy over Kim K.`s bootie has been all abuzz. It`s not slowing down.
I mean, look at these headlines. Did she or didn`t she? They`re screaming about her big-butt bootie selfie with friend Blac Chyna. They`re claiming that the picture is not real, but it`s Photoshopped. Claiming that a curvy door frame looks kind of out of place next to Kim K.`s curvy bottom. What do you think?
Well, we are here to get to the bottom of this Photoshop frenzy with our own forensic expert. Meet Melanie Nichols. She is a senior 3-D animator for HLN in Atlanta, and we had to ask her to look into this Kim K. Photoshop frenzy.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MELANIE NICHOLS, SENIOR ANIMATOR, HLN: Yes, it`s possible. Whether she did it all internally on the phone, I don`t think that`s possible. She`d have to certainly export it to a -- software that could make alterations like Photoshop or something like that. Upload it, and then send it to -- send it out on Instagram. That`s quite possible.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Look at that. Melanie is pretty skeptical there.
Let me bring in comedian Michelle Buteau. She is with me in New York, and she`s starring in the new FOX series, "Enlisted," which premieres Friday. Former reality star Audrina Patridge is also here. She`s the new host of NBC`s lifestyle show, "First Look." Congratulations to both of you on these new gigs first of all.
MICHELLE BUTEAU, COMEDIAN: Thank you.
HAMMER: But let`s talk about this photo. Are you agreeing with our forensic expert, Melanie: probably, possibly doctored here?
BUTEAU: I think so. I mean, what girl is not doctoring their photos on Instagram? Like, that`s what Instagram is for.
HAMMER: Are you?
BUTEAU: Of course. I have, like, this skinny white girl filter. I`m trying to look like her after a picture. Hello.
AUDRINA PATRIDGE, HOST, NBC`S "FIRST LOOK": No.
HAMMER: I`m not talking about softening the lens.
BUTEAU: No, I think she`s trying to make her booty look bigger. I don`t know why she...
PATRIDGE: Pumping it up.
BUTEAU: Yes, pumping it up. I don`t know why she wants to look black from the back so hard. You know what I mean? Like her butt needs a ZIP code.
HAMMER: People seem to like it.
BUTEAU: You can`t even drive around it.
PATRIDGE: I wish I had a little bit of that.
BUTEAU: No, the thing is is like, OK, she`s bringing curvy back, which is great. But it`s just gone too far. I mean, I`m so glad you guys looked into this. Because this is how I want to start my new year, talking about Kim`s butt.
HAMMER: Well, let`s talk about it. So you`re not buying it. You think it is Photoshopped, Audrina?
PATRIDGE: I mean, it`s just -- it`s either that or it`s, like, butt implants. I don`t know. You can literally...
HAMMER: She did the X-ray.
BUTEAU: She did the X-ray on the show.
HAMMER: ... to prove it`s not butt implants.
PATRIDGE: I didn`t know that.
HAMMER: So there you go.
BUTEAU: I think it`s injections. I think it`s, like, liquid, like clear injections so you couldn`t see it.
PATRIDGE: I would go with that.
HAMMER: Digital injections is what`s being surmised here. But let`s go back, shall we, to our 3-D forensic expert, 3-D animator Melanie. She`s telling us why she thinks the photo was altered.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
NICHOLS: I did see the controversy of that frame. I do see that this door frame is angled a bit. It does not seem straight. It seems it`s a little awkward here. So it`s possible that an artist selected this area, slid it in, maybe to tighten up her tummy area, possibly.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: She`s getting right in there. She`s looking into it. She`s got the pictures out.
BUTEAU: That`s like CSI, booty patrol.
HAMMER: We need a man`s perspective here. Let`s go out to Hollywood. Lil Duval is with us, the host of MTV-2`s big hit series, "Ain`t that America." The second season premieres next Wednesday. We`re all very excited about that.
Great having you here, Lil Duval. Can we play this for you again? Can we show you this GIF? Look at the back and forth going on here. The door frame has gotten a little booty to it. What do you think?
LIL DUVAL, HOST, MTV-2`S "AIN`T THAT AMERICA": Yes, I like how you all keep it having it going back and forth. It`s turning me on.
HAMMER: That`s not why you`re here, Lil Duval.
DUVAL: Ah, well, OK. Why am I here?
HAMMER: OK. Well, you can continue to look at it. But so what do you think, and it seems like you don`t care either way -- but doctored, doctor?
DUVAL: Well, I actually know Blac Chyna, and I know for sure her bootie is doctored. But I don`t care, because it looks amazing to me. A win is a win.
HAMMER: It`s all entertainment.
By the way, Lil Duval, I have to tell you, I was messing around looking at the Instagram, and I came across a selfie that you posted, I think it was about a month ago, something about singing a Tony! Toni! Tone! song. And even before all this Kim K. madness...
DUVAL: Yes.
HAMMER: ... you posted this shot...
DUVAL: Yes.
HAMMER: ... with a message to your fans saying it wasn`t Photoshopped. Do you remember this?
DUVAL: No. Yes. I look amazing in that. See, I`m bringing the chest hairs back. You know, chest hairs was big in the `80s with Tom Selleck and people like that. So I figured, I`ll bring it back, because nobody is doing that.
HAMMER: OK. So you say you don`t use Photoshop, Lil Duval. But how do you explain this?
DUVAL: Oh, I didn`t put that up. See, I don`t like that one. I like the other...
BUTEAU: I like that one.
DUVAL: I like the other chest better. You like that one, baby?
BUTEAU: Yes, honey.
PATRIDGE: The muscles are really...
DUVAL: Come on. Not the chest hairs?
PATRIDGE: ... shiny.
BUTEAU: Magic.
DUVAL: So the chest hairs don`t do nothing for you?
PATRIDGE: A little bit of chest hair is good.
BUTEAU: A little bit of chest hair. But the muscles do for me. The muscles look like you have a job that pays a lot better than the other chest. Sorry.
HAMMER: He`s got the gig on MTV-2. He`s doing OK.
Are you interested in seeing how Melanie worked her magic to make those muscles happen for you, Lil Duval? Would you like to see?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
NICHOLS: With this photo, you know, we can see that he could use a little enhancement in the chest area, in the chest area, just a little bit. Duval, you look great. But you know, a little enhancement doesn`t hurt anybody.
And of course, if you don`t really like what you`re working with, you can always, add somebody else`s figure in there, as well.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Yes, I love the fact that he preferred it the other way. Nice of you.
Let me go to Audrina for a moment, because we asked you what your Photoshop fantasy was. Remember what you asked for?
PATRIDGE: I want longer legs, and I love blue eyes.
HAMMER: Take a look at this monitor. See what we are able to whip up for you in Atlanta.
And we`re going to work on the legs. You wanted longer legs. You`ve got longer legs.
PATRIDGE: Thank you.
HAMMER: Can we do something about the eyes? Going to shave off a little bit there.
BUTEAU: Do you like that? It`s like a giraffe.
PATRIDGE: I think I need...
BUTEAU: You look like an angry Heidi Klum. Don`t know if I like this.
HAMMER: All right. Well, anyway, we give you longer legs.
PATRIDGE: They`re nice.
BUTEAU: You have beautiful eyes.
HAMMER: Let`s move on right now. Because it`s not just photos that are getting called out today. What about a $75,000 birthday gift for a superstar couple`s 2-year-old? Or the suspiciously timed story about a Velveeta shortage before the Super Bowl is happening? We`re asking, is it "Phony or Fabulous?" Our all-star panel throws down the gavel. You don`t want to miss that heated showdown.
Now on to No. 9 in our countdown. It`s the Gosselin twins. They`re speaking up to tell the world, guess what? We`re not messed up.
That`s right. You remember Jon and Kate Gosselin? Well, their 13-year-old twins are telling all about life after being in a reality show in the brand-new issue of "People" magazine.
They`re the oldest of the "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" children.
Here`s what Mady is telling people. She says, "They think we are supposed to be so messed up, like, `Oooh, the poor Gosselin kids, they`re going to be scarred for life, waaaah.` Here`s the big news: We`re not messed up."
Her sister Cara is also chiming in, saying, "It`s so false. We`re fine. We`re actually better than ever."
As everybody knows, Kate has been accused in the past of exploiting her kids.
So, Michelle, is it OK to put them on the cover of "People" magazine to let us all know, "Hey, we actually are OK"?
BUTEAU: No, you could actually just live your life, and be quiet, and you know, have like a normal childhood.
I don`t understand it at all. This is definitely just a paycheck so they can do something else this year or next year. I mean, the thing is, like, you know, Jon Gosselin is on VH-1`s celebrity therapy, couples` therapy. You know, Kate`s always in the news talking about, like, how she doesn`t have any money, and it`s so much stress to, like, take care of all these kids by herself. So if the kids are OK, why are the parents freaking out so hard in public?
HAMMER: Well, Jon is actually not convinced that the kids are OK. In fact, two months ago, he appeared on Oprah, and on the show, he -- it was the show "Where Are They Now?"
BUTEAU: Right.
HAMMER: Where are Jon and Kate right now? He claimed that being famous has actually scarred his kids. Let`s look at that.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JON GOSSELIN, FORMER REALITY TV STAR: Yes, they got to travel the world. And yes they got these fabulous things. And yes, they have trust funds. They`re taken care of educationally, great.
But developmentally, they have problems with their peers. They have problems with talking to other people. They have problems with wants and needs and manners and morals, and what`s right and what`s wrong. Of course. I think more so than someone who grows up off TV.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: I mean, it`s plausible. Look, look, you know of this.
PATRIDGE: Yes.
HAMMER: I mean, you`ve been on reality or quasi-reality TV.
PATRIDGE: They made that choice for their children.
HAMMER: Yes.
PATRIDGE: They chose to put their children in the spotlight. And now that`s a -- you know, a consequence that their own kids are going to have to deal with.
HAMMER: Yes. No, they didn`t ask for that. I am kind of OK with finding out from the kids how they`re doing.
PATRIDGE: Right.
HAMMER: But it`s all a little weird, because it`s just sort of adding to the public...
BUTEAU: When I was 13, I would definitely say whatever my mom wanted me to say. I`m like, "Yes, ma`am. What else do I say? Please and thank you."
HAMMER: Good point. We`ll leave it there. Thanks, Audrina and Michelle.
BUTEAU: I`m just saying.
HAMMER: Appreciate it.
Well, the countdown is just getting started. Still in the running for No. 1, dangerous sex revealed. A sexy closet romp that goes so, so wrong.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Could you take a look at it?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Take a look at it?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, you idiot.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: The couple who says their sexual fantasy actually sent them to the E.R. is revealing all of the gritty details. And I mean gritty.
Nothing but Starbucks for a year. Why would someone want to survive on only the food and drinks that you get at the pricey coffee house? Don`t be so quick to judge. The woman who did it is right here. She answers that question, and she`s shutting down all of her critics.
What could be No. 1, though? This is SBT on HLN.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: Welcome back to SBT. I`m A.J. hammer, and I am a trained TV professional. Most of the time. But what happens when a couple of movie stars take a turn as a TV news anchor?
Well, that brings us to No. 8 on our SBT countdown. Kevin Hart and Ice Cube doing the news right here on HLN. They`re starring in the new movie "Ride Along." And they just took a spin on the anchor desk during HLN`s "MORNING EXPRESS." Well, the lovely Robin Meade stepped aside to let Cube and Kevin do their thing, and this is what happened.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ICE CUBE, RAPPER/ACTOR: Time for "The Morning Read," stories that pop out at us from newspapers and online.
It has been so cold outside an escaped inmate gave us -- gave up running and turned himself in. The Associated Press says that Robert Vick escaped from a prison in Lexington, Kentucky. On Sunday, when temperatures dropped to single digits, Vick walked back to the motel, told the clerk, called the police. "Man, it`s cold. I`m ready to go back to jail."
KEVIN HART, COMEDIAN: Keep it going. Keep it going.
CUBE: Your nachos may never be the same. America is going through a Vetta (ph) shortage.
HART: It`s Velveeta.
CUBE: Velveeta? It`s OK, man. I went to L.A. Unified School District. You know what I mean? They didn`t really teach us how to read.
HART: Some of you have to keep your phones out of your bedroom. That`s where your cell phone should be. A new study in Bloomsberg.com says the light from your cell phone can keep you awake. Who knew?
CUBE: Who knew?
HART: I would have never thought it.
Thank you, guys. And I`ll see you on two and two at the three.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You were great, man. You were great.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: They weren`t that great. I mean, I like them and all. But it was OK.
Thanks for joining us, guys.
"Ride Along" will open up next Friday.
All right. On to No. 7 on our countdown of the day`s strangest, funniest videos. These are the videos that had us basically wasting so much time, watching them over and over today in the SBT newsroom that we barely had enough time to work on the show. Can you tell?
To help us out we are turning to someone who really knows viral videos.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Is there cheese in hamburgers?
DUVAL: Is that a walk-in drive-through?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: There`s white cheese in that one.
DUVAL: Don`t tell me what cheese is in there. I work here, not you.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Comedian Lil Duval hosts "Ain`t that America." This is the most popular original series ever on MTV-2. It mixes sketch comedy with some of those hilarious viral videos that you find on the Web. And its second season premieres next Wednesday. Lil Duval joining me now from Hollywood.
All right. First, Lil Duval, we`ve got to look at the day`s obviously most talked-about video, which is Dennis Rodman at his controversial basketball game in North Korea, singing "Happy Birthday" to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. You`ve got to hear this.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DENNIS RODMAN, NBA HALL OF FAMER (singing): Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Happy birthday to you
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: I mean, the elements of bizarre going on there are very difficult to even put into words.
DUVAL: Yes, that -- I want to let all the white people know that`s not a black man; that is an animal.
HAMMER: OK.
DUVAL: That is not -- Dennis Rodman, he scares me. I don`t know. He doesn`t represent for none of us. You know, but at the same time, I understand what he`s doing in trying to bring over there to North Korea, but I just don`t want to hear him do it.
HAMMER: What you`re saying is you understand what he thinks he`s doing in his own mind. OK, I got it.
Listen, you`re in Hollywood. I checked the weather before I started up here tonight. It`s nice and warm there. Half the country, of course, still in this deep freeze...
DUVAL: Yes.
HAMMER: ... thanks to our polar vortex, which is just fun to say. And that, of course, led to a whole bunch of viral videos online. A lot of people throwing liquid in the air to watch it freeze. Even have stars doing it. I saw this one from Vanessa Hudgens. She posted her own liquid experiment on Instagram. Look at this.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
VANESSA HUDGENS, ACTRESS: Fanning water. Here we go. OK, let`s just. One, two, three.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (LAUGHING)
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: I don`t know about you. I love Vanessa Hudgens even more that she`s doing something silly like that, posting it online.
DUVAL: Yes, I want to do that. But I`m in L.A., so it`s too hot. But I should try that in L.A. and watch it just get right on me.
HAMMER: Yes, well, you should just show people what`s happening out there for contrast. You know?
DUVAL: Yes, yes.
HAMMER: Something different. Your show...
DUVAL: I should just jump in the ocean.
HAMMER: Your show, "Ain`t that America," has become the biggest hit on MTV-2. Not surprising. You have a lot of fun with these viral videos, including this one, where you have of a group of guys coming back from a night out, only to find a stranger sleeping in their car.
Let`s look.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Who the (EXPLETIVE DELETED) is this in the car? There`s somebody in the back of the (EXPLETIVE DELETED) car. (EXPLETIVE DELETED) (EXPLETIVE DELETED).
Yo, sir, get the (EXPLETIVE DELETED) out of the car!
(END VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Like, how unsuccessful of a dude`s night out did you have if, one, you come back with a car with no girls and then you find an extra dude?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Having nothing but big fun there?
DUVAL: Yes, man, we have a lot of clips like that. All of them funny as hell. So you`ve got to make sure you watch it starting next week.
HAMMER: Yes, well, let me do your official plug. Thanks for being here, man.
Everybody watch season two of "Ain`t That America" on MTV 2. And also, if you`re anywhere in the area, be sure to catch Lil Duval this Friday at San Jose Improv.

Well, an adventurous woman named, believe it or not, Beautiful Existence insisted on existing on nothing but Starbucks. She`s going to tell us why, and it may shock you.

(END VIDEO CLIP)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: All right. Our "Top Ten Countdown" continues now with No. 6, Kaley Cuoco`s magical New Year`s Eve wedding.
So "The Big Bang" theory star married tennis star Ryan Sweeting just three months after announcing their engagement. Now, the couple is sharing it all, the whole wedding, with the world. I`m not just talking about one or two snapshots. We actually get to go inside with Kaley`s makeup artist in her new viral video.
From the preparations, from the moment that Kaley puts on her veil, to that final kiss, Kaley is sharing her most intimate moments. I encourage you to grab a tissue and watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

I`m Kaley Cuoco, and I`m here with two of my favorite people in the world: my hairdresser, Fay Wood (ph) and my amazing florist, Jamie Greenberg (ph), two of the best in the whole world. We`re here for a very special day. It`s New Year`s Eve, and I`m throwing a big, big party. I cannot wait. But there`s one special thing that might happen tonight. I`m getting married!
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We`re using this beautiful Avon Glazewear. We`re doing touch and glow on the cheeks. Lots of touch and glow.
CUOCO: Almost wedding. New Year`s Eve first. We`re pumping it up later. Jamie Greenberg (ph), Fay Wood (ph) killing it again. I`m going to put my dress on.
I feel unbelievable. This is my gown, my Vera Wang. I wanted to wear pink. I can`t wait to go.
I can`t believe this is really happening! I`m not nervous at all. I`ve never been less nervous about anything in my whole life.
Oh, my God!
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: How great is that? It looks like she`s having such a terrific time. And she said she didn`t even have any jitters. Congratulations, Kaley.
So here we are at the halfway point of our countdown. Things are getting dangerous, very dangerous. As in dangerous...
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We started kissing. But she kept, like, stopping. We`re getting -- I`m like, what`s wrong? She`s like "Something is wrong down there."
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Yes, the couple whose sexy romp in the closet went from passion to pain. Now they`re revealing the mind-blowing details of what went wrong.
Plus, did Jay-Z and Beyonce`s daughter get a $75,000 horse for her birthday? Did Kim Kardashian fake her butt selfie? Is there a pre-Super Bowl Velveeta shortage? SBT investigates are these hot viral stories "Phony or Fabulous."
What`s No. 1? This is SBT on HLN.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: Right now, in the "Top Ten Countdown," "Phony or Fabulous." Did Jay-Z and Beyonce`s 2-year-old daughter just get a $75,000 horse for her birthday? Did Kim Kardashian fake her butt selfie? SBT investigates: phony or fab?
Nothing but Starbucks for a year, but why would someone want to survive on nothing but the food and drinks you can get at the pricey coffeehouse? Well, the woman who did it is right here, and she`s going to answer that question with a question for all of her social media critics.
SBT continues right now.
Welcome back. Thank you for watching. I am A.J. Hammer. So, here we are to number five on our countdown of today`s top ten must see -must share stories. We are asking, phony or fabulous? If you have been online any time in the past few days, that`s kind of hard to miss Kim Kardashian`s selfie, the one she posted on Instagram showing off her butt.
From Instagram to Facebook to Twitter, everybody is buzzing about this and debating, is that picture a photo shop, phony or just plain old fabulous? And there are other phony or fabulous debates out there. So, we are taking you through them tonight. But Michelle Buteau, starring the new Fox series premiers on Friday, and former reality star, Audrina Partridge, she`s the host of NBC`s lifestyle and travel show "First Look" brand new to the job. And Hollywood, there is Lil Duval, host of MTV 2 Series "Ain`t That America." OK, I don`t think anybody will object if we take another close look at this Instragram photo of Kim Kardashian. There she is, with her buddy Blac Chyna. It`s kind of a booty battle going on here, Michelle. A phony or fabulous?
MICHELLE BUTEAU: I`m saying phony. That cannot be real, and why would you want to look like a stripper that`s off the clock anyway. Phony. I said it. I`ll say it again.
HAMMER: OK. Lil Duval, now to you for the man`s perspective?
LIL DUVAL: I think women are hating on these girls. Let these girls be great. If their booty is fake, who cares?
HAMMER: But you are not answering the question. I think we have to insist that he answers.
BUTEAU: Yes.
HAMMER: Look at the picture, man. Is it the real deal? Phony or fabulous?
BUTEAU: Phony or fabulous?
DUVAL: Again, I don`t look at the photo shop. I am just looking at booty. And I don`t know. No man is looking. Only women are looking specifically in the background and stuff. All we see is booty.
HAMMER: See, there is a filter, apparently, that goes on. It doesn`t matter. It could be fake.
DUVAL: It don`t matter!
HAMMER: Who cares?
BUTEAU: No, it always matters. Because then women are going to feel like they have to like do fake things all the time to put that about themselves. Be real. Be you. Be beautiful.
DUVAL: Well, take all that makeup off. Let`s take all your makeup off.
(LAUGHTER)
HAMMER: Here is what I`ll have to say about that. Yes. There are a lot of stars in Hollywood that if they, if some women found out that this woman that Scarlet Johansson was out there photoshopping all of her photos, maybe they would feel, oh, Gosh, I have to try to live up to that sort of an image. When Kim Kardashian does it, we kind of .
BUTEAU: She`s got a whole other following that feels like they have to look like that too.
DUVAL: Well, that is .
BUTEAU: And they`re young. Yes.
AUDRINA PARTRIDGE: It is a perfectly, round, plump butt, I must say.
(LAUGHTER)
BUTEAU: Wow.
HAMMER: All right, we`ll do more .
(CROSSTALK)
HAMMER: By the way, a big debate on the surprise broke out about this today in the newsroom. Let me get over to our SBT producers Sarah Moon (ph), Jane Jerato (ph) and John Yim (ph). Guys, what do you think? Phony, or fabulous?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Fabulous. Yeas!
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yeah!
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: So, dubby air fun Facebook says, to me, it just looks abnormally large.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Here is the thing I don`t necessarily like Kim Kardashian, but her butt in that picture was fabulous. I don`t care if it is real or not.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Good. All right. Thanks, Jen, and thank you for not apologizing for Kim. Let`s move on to Beyonce and Jay-Z`s little girl. In a video on her new hit album, Beyonce pays tribute to Blue Ivy, celebrating her second birthday this week. Happy birthday, Blue ivy.
BUTEAU: Happy birthday.
PARTRIDGE: Oh, she is so cute.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
Blue Ivy: Mommy. Mommy. Mommy.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: She really is just simply adorable. OK, so there are reports out there right now that Beyonce and Jay-Z actually treated baby Blue to a $75,000 Arabian pony as a birthday gift. Audrina, what do you think, does it sound phony or do you think that, you know, baby Blue Ivy got a fabulous gift?
PARTRIDGE: I think maybe she got one. I mean, you know, they have the money to do that and the space for a horse or somewhere to put it. I mean she is really young to appreciate it.
HAMMER: In one of their bedrooms they probably have the space for that horse. Let me get back out to our "SBT" team, Joan and Sarah? What do you guys, say? Phony or fabulous on the pony. Phony pony?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: That`s fabulous. Fabulous.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I don`t actually know if it is phony or fabulous. But if it`s - I hope it is true. Because every girl wants to play with my little ponies. And she actually gets a real pony.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Yeah, it`s true. What little girl doesn`t love a pony?
PARTRIDGE: No, this is ridiculous. Get her my little pony, a plastic doll. This should be phony. This is phony.
HAMMER: There is a standard that`s been said. You know, you know, Kanye reportedly bought that baby Lamborghini for his six-month-old daughter.
BUTEAU: No, but Jay Z, you know, Jay Z knows better. Kanye is like out there in space some times. I mean I feel like when you buy these extravagant gift for your kids then you are really just showing off in front of like your peers. It`s not about the kid at that point.
HAMMER: Lil Duval? You sound exasperated over the whole idea ..
BUTEAU: I think it`s ..
DUVAL: Yeah, because I`ve got a daughter. She is five years old. So, it`s making that hard for me. Because I used to take my daughter to the mall and let her ride for 50 cents on the little mechanical pony. Now, with $75,000 pony.
HAMMER: She got to ride for 50 cent. Now, you are going to have to get her to ride with 50 Cent to sort of keep up here.
DUVAL: Yeah, for real.
BUTEAU: Yeah.
HAMMER: And let`s get back out to Jay Z, because this is his brand new viral video of him, pulling what seems to be a random kid on stage from the audience, at one of his recent concerts. And you got to see what happens.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED BOY (rapping)
(MUSIC)
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Wow. And he`s pretty amazing, right? Just blew the crowd away. But the kid had been at a Jay-Z concert the night before with his mom, so online, you got a lot of people sitting at their keyboard saying this was no surprise. It was actually a set-up. Lil Duval, let me get back at you, what do you think, was this phony or fabulous?
DUVAL: I think it was fabulous even though I think it was set up.
HAMMER: Simple but true.
DUVAL: Because you, you have to set, for a show like that, you have to prepare for it, you have to let him know. Look, I am going to bring you on stage. Even if he told him, look, get up there and rap, it`s still cool the little boy got up there and rapped. I (inaudible), I know he mad.
HAMMER: Think about that. If it was set up, how nervous must that little kid have been. He was great. Tore the roof off the place.
BUTEAU: He still did. Whether it was set up or not, it was fabulous. I mean, America`s got talent, everybody.
HAMMER: What do you think? Did you see it? When he first came on, everybody said, oh, that was a nice thing. Did you think it was a staged kind of setup?
PARTRIDGE: I think he had an idea he was going to go out there and prepare for it. He did amazing up there. That`s a lot of pressure.
(CROSSTALK)
BUTEAU: Yeah, everybody else in the audience. I love that. When you are at the ball game. Somebody goes up and starts rapping, singing, the national anthem. They always know who they`re going to pick. Come on.
HAMMER: So it`s OK have a fabulous, phony moment at a show like that.
BUTEAU: I think it was still heartfelt. I am not going to say it is phony, come on, AJ.
DUVAL: Stop hating on the man!
HAMMER: I ain`t hating on no one. I enjoyed it. Thought it was a great moment, Lil Duval. I thought the kid did terrific.
DUVAL: I bet little buddy got his booking info on his Twitter page right now.
HAMMER: Listen, if this next story is not phony, it may not be a fabulous Super Bowl for anyone who loves this old favorite.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He`s dating Taylor, the lotion girl.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Able-bodied athleticism. Here is his buddy Marco, who`s got the hot water for his Velveeta shells and cheese. Liquid gold. Eat like that guy you know
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Apparently, a lot of people love the Velveeta. But now there are reports out there there is a shortage of Velveeta cheese. Say it ain`t so. Michelle, what do you think? Velveeta perhaps getting that word out there to drum up a little extra publicity before the kind of a day when people just put their entire heads in bowls of whatever it is?
(CROSSTALK)
BUTEAU: Of course it is fake. Just like Justin Bieber retiring. Nobody is going nowhere.
(CROSSTALK)
HAMMER: Are you going to go and stockpile it now once the show is over?
DUVAL: I am allergic to cheese, so it don`t matter to me.
HAMMER: Is it even cheese? I don`t know.
BUTEAU: It looks like cheese, it tastes like cheese, kind of like fake boobs. Same as Kim Kardashian`s butt. Who cares. It probably feels real.
HAMMER: I think we got some for you backstage. Michelle, Audrina, Lil Duval, great having you on here. Thank you so much.
Well, I`m not sure if you`ll find this next story fabulous or not. You get to judge for yourself. Imagine living on food from Starbucks for an entire year. The Rice Krispie treats, the double lattes, the sandwiches, the salads, the entire Starbucks menu was one woman`s very expensive playground for a year. Her name is Beautiful Existence. She is right here and is going to explain how a three-letter word actually inspired this project. Wait till you hear what her first post Starbucks meal was too. Plus, dangerous sex.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Can you take a look at it?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Take a look at it?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, you idiot.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: A sexy closet romp goes, so, so wrong. The couple whose sexcapades landed them in the E.R. reveals what really happened to them. So which eye-popping, must-see, must-share story going to be no. 1? This is SBT on HLN.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: Welcome back to "SBT," I am AJ Hammer. Our top ten countdown continues now with number four, and do not adjust your screen when you see this. This is the matriarch of the Kardashian clan, that is Kris Jenner in a string bikini. She just posted the revealing selfie on Instagram. The 58-year-old mother of 6 and grandmother of three, captioned this photo with the phrase "celebrate life." As to whether or not this photo was photoshopped, let`s just say she looks terrific and leave it at that. Okay, enough. Good to see you celebrating life, Kris.
Number three, it`s Geico`s 15 minutes of fame. Enjoying her 15 minutes of fame is the woman who ate at Starbucks morning, noon and night for an entire year. I am totally serious. This woman ate nothing but food from Starbucks for one full year, she wrote about her experience every single day on her blog, appropriately entitled "for one year of my life." Her name is Beautiful Existence. Yes, Beautiful Existence, and she joins us from Seattle to answer the questions everyone has been wanting to know. Including the top question -- why in the world did she do it? Nice to have you here, Beautiful.
BEAUTIFUL EXISTENCE: Hello, everybody.
HAMMER: Let`s get down to it. You write on your blog that you ate Starbucks for a year, because as you put it, you love the privilege of being able to ask the question, why? You have to explain what you meant by that?
EXISTENCE: I have been a naturally curious person I guess in in my life. And I`ve started companies, but I really didn`t know how to go about starting them. I had a children`s clothing wear line in the past. So when it came to me wanting to do, you know, blogging, I picked challenges, because, I`m just naturally kind of curious about things. So, why is always a big question for me. You know, I -- I am curious about these brands. I want to know more about them especially as a mom. Starbucks, my sister worked there for a long time. I was really curious about what Starbucks was all about and the community around it. And with my yearly challenges, besides the brand, I always put a challenge with it. Since Starbucks was a company based on eating and drinking, that was pretty much going to have to be the challenge.
HAMMER: All right. I love that you did it and that you challenge yourself in life. I think I would blow my brains out, though. I can`t imagine being so monotonous like that. But we sent our SBT cameras to a bunch of Starbucks lovers to find out if they could do what you did, eating nothing but food from Starbucks for a year. Here`s what they said.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I wouldn`t be able to do that. I am actually a sports nutrition student. I don`t believe that would be very healthy for you. So, yeah, personally I wouldn`t do it. I think that`s crazy.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That sounds pretty out there. I mean, decaf or not. You think she would be all excited all the time, you know, maybe she needs it for everyday life. That would be -- that sounds out of this world to have it for a year.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Yeah, pretty out of this world. I tried one of their breakfast sandwiches the other day, and it was okay. But obviously you didn`t just have coffee. What were you eating?
EXISTENCE: So, a lot of people - and something the nutrition student was talking about is something that I have had to communicate. Being that Starbucks is based here in Seattle, they own a lot of different brand. So part of my challenge was investigating the community of Starbucks, which also meant me eating, and drinking and engaging in those different brands. One of the brands they have, predominantly around here, but there is one store in San Francisco, it`s called Evolution Fresh. A lot of people have been able to get the juices. They actually have stores here that sell fresh salads, soups, sandwiches. So as soon as they opened up that franchise or that division of their company, in 2012, I knew that this would be, you know, a lot more balanced.
HAMMER: Something you could do, you obviously survived it. Tell me very quickly, I got to know the moment you got to eat something other than food from Starbucks, you ate?
EXISTENCE: I ate fish and chips from Seattle.
HAMMER: Good and fried. All right, Beautiful Existence, first time I have ever said this, thank you, Beautiful Existence. Appreciate you being here. Congratulations on making it through. Surviving on Starbucks. Kevin Hart and Ice Cube doing the news. That`s one wild countdown, to be sure. What could be number one? The big reveal next. This is "SBT" on HLN.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: We are inching closer and closer to the top of our countdown. Right now, it is no. 2, former teen mom reality star Farrah Abraham, reportedly admits that her sex tape ruined her life. This is coming after Farrah defended the video, calling "Backdoor Teen Mom" a celebration of her body. I guess that celebration is over, because the reality star is now telling "In Touch Weekly" that she has had no life. She also said, it made it hard to have friends in my private life and to trust family who I feel used me for money.
Back with me, Michelle Buteau, starring in the new Fox series, "Enlisted" and in Hollywood, Lil Duval, he is the host of MTV2`s "Ain`t that America." Michelle, here is a thing. This wasn`t a sex tape that was leaked. Farrah actually had sex with an infamous porn star to make lots and lots of money.
BUTEAU: They promoted it.
HAMMER: But now she says it`s ruined her life. So I imagine you`re feeling sympathy for her.
BUTEAU: Oh yeah, lots, I actually want to give her a big old hug. I actually do want to give her a hug, because you know, in your early 20s, you`re just a hot mess. You don`t know a lot. You`re just kind of going through life. And now everything is documented on camera, everything she`s done. I think she doesn`t even know what`s happening. I think her parents, I don`t know. They need to come together and have a little intervention. That`s what I think.
HAMMER: You make a great point. Lil Duval, it`s easy to mock anybody who does what she did. She obviously wanted to somehow make money and she loved being in the public eye. This is not quite public. But do you feel a little sorry for her?
DUVAL: No, what she needs to realize, ten years from now, nobody is going to know that she did all of this freaky (inaudible) stuff. I tried not to curse.
HAMMER: All right. We will deal with that. All right. So there it is.
BUTEAU: It`s going to affect her relationship later on down the line. And plus her young daughter, too. It`s always going to be out there. So many girls think just because you put something out there it`s going to be gone, and no, honey, it`s there forever.
HAMMER: Ten years (inaudible).
DUVAL: Kim Kardashian got people believing that. She started all that.
HAMMER: That is lightning in a bottle for sure.
BUTEAU: She got a smart mom.
HAMMER: Let`s get to our big reveal. What is number one in our top ten countdown of today`s must-see, must-share stories? Are you ready for this? It`s when sex gets dangerous. You may have heard about the woman who had a three-hour orgasm and it landed her in the hospital. The story is seen in the new TLC series, "Sex: Send Me to the Hospital." This is all about seriously embarrassing emergency room visits. There is now a show for everyone. One of those visits came from the couple whose romp in a janitor`s closet climaxed in a hospital visit.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Probably about 20 minutes in the closet, so it was fun. It was crazy. I just popped my collar, literally. I flipped my collar up, like I`m the man, I wiped the sweat off my forehead.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: It might have been big fun at the time. Things went very wrong soon after. You have got to watch what the couple just told HLN`s Vinnie Politan.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
VINNIE POLITAN, HLN ANCHOR: (inaudible), In the closet, making whoopie, but you end up in the ER. Do I want to know what happened?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I will let her respectfully answer that question.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Well, pretty much the incident happened because we haven`t done it in a long time, and I was wet -- can I say that?
POLITAN: You just did.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: So, pretty much, I ended up being really extremely swollen to the point to where my hoo-hoo was kind of turned inside out because of the swelling.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What I think we are missing is, just for the fact that she didn`t do it for a long time, that was a big part of why she ended up going to the ER, because when we had sex, it was more let`s do this, do this, and it was not really slow and taking our time. So that kind of irritated her and it took a while. I told her to put ice on it.
POLITAN: Ice the first 20 minutes, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, ice, elevation, compression?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Exactly. I`m a former athlete, I told her if something swollen, put ice on it. She`s like are you a (inaudible)? When she went to the ER, the first thing the doctor said was let`s put some ice on it.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HAMMER: Is it wrong if we just sit here in stunned silence?
BUTEAU: No. A moment of silence for her and her hoo-hah. What was that?
HAMMER: If your husband told you to put ice on it? What -- I can`t even imagine.
BUTEAU: All I have to say is obamacare.gov, everybody. That is insane. Is she crazy?
HAMMER: Oh my gosh.
BUTEAU: I mean, are you sure, girl?
(CROSSTALK)
HAMMER: I may have to go to the doctor after hearing that. You are a vet of MTV`s "Guy Code." I got to know what your call is on this couple`s romp in the closet that obviously went terribly wrong. And seems to continue to go wrong.
DUVAL: First, I have been to the hospital a couple of times for sex, but it wasn`t - it was for a disease.
HAMMER: Okay. Okay. Yeah, all right.
(CROSSTALK)
DUVAL: It was curable, though. It was curable.
HAMMER: Just put some ice on it apparently. Here`s the thing, let`s just go back and dissect this. They were in a janitor`s closet in a hotel? There are rooms in hotels.
BUTEAU: Well, clearly he does not have that room kind of money, but he`s got the janitor`s closet money. Problem no. 1. And ladies, don`t you hate when it lasts like three hours? What is she, just riding a crazy unicorn? Come on, girl. I think she was just so excited that her and her man -- she was so excited that her and her man touched that like mentally--
HAMMER: It was the chemicals in the closet. Michelle, Lil Duval, thank you for whatever that was. As we move on, Alexander Skarsgard gets naked at the South Pole. This picture is 100 percent real, and I will explain why the "True Blood" star is showing off his southern regions at the bottom of the earth. This is SBT on HLN.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HAMMER: I must warn you, tonight`s moment of awesomeness is not for the faint of heart. Alexander Skarsgard is butt naked at the South Pole. You think it`s cold where you live? Imagine doing your business like Alex is naked when it`s minus 22 degrees. Alex took this very, very brave picture during a four-week, 200-mile trek to the South Pole with Prince Harry. The trip was raising money for the prince`s charity which helps men and women find jobs after leaving the military. Obviously a great cause, but this picture has really taken on a life of its own on social media. Among the many tweets I saw today, this one stood out to me. "Alexander Skarsgard naked on a toilet in the freezing tundra, oh lordy lordy lord." That pretty much sums it up, and it was pretty much the reaction from most of the SBT staff as well.
Thank you for watching. I`m AJ Hammer. You can catch SBT every Monday through Thursday at 11:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific. HLN continues now.
