Hello there,Well, the Matt Lauer fallout continues. The disgraced morning show host apologized while also calling some of the allegations against him “untrue or mischaracterized.” And now, people are rewatching some of his previous interviews in a new light. We also go behind the scenes with actor James Franco and get the low-down from Miss Universe about beauty pageant critics.Take it easy, Matt Lauer’s 20-year role at NBC allowed him to frame the way stories about powerful women and very bad men were told — and not told. Emma Gray explores how media is still dominated by straight, white men ― at least at the top ― and what that means for all of us. James Franco appears to be nearly everywhere these days, right? Still, you don't want to miss him in "The Disaster Artist," which is shaping up to be the sharpest performance of his career. We're talking Oscar-worthy. Matt Jacobs has more from the star himself. Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, the new Miss Universe from South Africa, told me how she once fought off three men who held her at gunpoint (with not one, but three guns to her face) in a scary carjacking incident. Now she has a plan to empower women to protect themselves against violence.
