Robin Roberts and I have a lot in common. We’re both in TV. We’re both strong black women. We’re both over 6′1″. And we’re both friends with Jeremy Hubbard – who kindly got me on the set of “Good Morning America”. Robin is someone I want to have over for dinner sometime. Yes, she’s that cool. You’ll note in this picture I’m slouching a bit. In the first pic we took, I’m sitting so posture-perfect it looks like I’m wearing a back brace. Robin immediately commented on it. So I relaxed a bit (and subsequently took the stick out of my ass). When I have her over for dinner – and it WILL happen – I’ll make sure everyone slouches accordingly.

Dee Snider is a rocker to be reckoned with! When I met him, he was about as nice as they come – considering his large, looming presence. He’s like a polite Prince of Darkness. (Sorry to disappoint your pre-conceived notions.) My favorite part of the interview was before we started. He wanted to make sure his “crazy hair” wasn’t out of control. Uh, it looked pretty tame in comparison to the 400lb. coif he used to sport in his heyday. He was a total professional – knocking out his lines in less than 20 minutes. It would have been under 15 minutes, but I wanted to get a picture. Sue me.
