"Beverly Hills 90210" and "Child's Play's" Christine Elise

Christine Elise is many things: an actress, a foodie, a film festival curator… but, more importantly, she appeared in the original “Beverly Hills 90210” series as Emily FREAKIN’ Valentine, the baddest chick to get anywhere near West Beverly High. I caught up with Christine to learn more about role in the “Child’s Play” movies, her time corrupting Brandon Walsh on 90210, her decision to turn down the starring role on Melrose Place (!), and everything she’s been up to lately.

"The Office" and "Lambada's" Melora Hardin

Melora Hardin is one of those old-school talents that does it all… she sings, she acts, and she dances… boy, does she dance! In fact, while most people know her these days as recurring character Jan Levinson from “The Office”, her first major film role was much more, um, FORBIDDEN as the female lead in LAMBADA. As lovely as ever, Melora and I chatted about her start on TV even before the 90’s, the changes in TV and film over the years, her time on Broadway and evolving second career in music. How will Katy Perry potentially be involved? Listen and find out!

"Abs of Steel's" Tamilee Webb

Tamilee Webb is much more than a pretty face… she’s a rock-hard body too, thanks to the fitness revolution she’s spearheaded since the 90’s, ABS, BUNS (and various other body regions) OF STEEL. Listen to our fun chat and find out how Webb became the leader of a muscle-crunching generation and sold millions of videos in the process, plus her move to web content, creepy underage fan requests, and avoiding the crush of celebrity notoriety.

"Can't Hardly Wait" star Nikki Bilderback

Nicole Bilderback has been a fixture in movies and TV ever since the 90’s. From “Bring It On” to “Clueless”, the girl has been EVERYWHERE, yet she’s probably best known as the sad “rebound” girl who almost has sex with Seth Green in “Can’t Hardly Wait” (bullet dodged!) Still as fun as ever, Nikki chatted with me about her move to LA, the importance of a positive attitude in her line of work, being a young cougar, and all things Bilderback.

"Saved By The Bell" star Kirsten Kemp Becker

Heyyyyyy Zackeeee! Listen to us chat about her EXTREMELY unique life as a child entertainer, her thoughts on SBTB and her ever-evolving career.
