Video: Kathie Lee Takes on Skins

Deb Weinstein Jan 26, 2011
Although MTV's Skins has seen ratings plummet , that hasn't kept the teen drama from grabbing headlines. Or, in this case the attention of Today Show host Kathie Lee Gifford who says teens should ignore the show and embrace God--with a side of female empowerment. "You don't need to have that jerk on the football team tell you you're beautiful," she says, while talking about how teens look for love in the wrong places. "God tells you you're beautiful. From your toes up. And more than that--inside you're beautiful."
