Is there an interview youd like to do over?
She said she was going to invite me over to play charades.
And she looked terrified.
She was like, Oh my God, you crazy stalker.
The quickest answer to What would I do over?
is Who are the celebrities I go out of my way to avoid?
Mariska Hargitay and Neil Patrick Harris are probably top of the list.
Which celebrity surprised you the most?
Its not unusual for a male actor whos a heartthrob… to really turn it on in an interview.
Dempsey was a cool customer.
He was not on a charm offensive.
He wanted to make money he was like, No, I have bills to pay.
Who do people ask you about most often?
During the heyday of Kate Gosselin, I got very, very, very lucky.
That story was a huge deal.
I think she has contended with a level of misogyny that is so under-appreciated.
I think feminists should be furious at the way Kate Gosselins been treated.
Shes a mother ofeight and make no mistake, shes asinglemother of eight.
