Sat down with Dee Wallace​, beloved mom from E.T., thriver and survivor of extreme horror in Cujo, The Howling, in life... non-stop working actress, a passel of projects currently in post, always relevant, funny, warm and lovely... Dee's also an Author, Radio Personality, and Spiritual Healer. She offered me a morning ritual years ago, which I've employed every day since... I don't yet have it all, but I'm grateful as hell for what I do have. We talked Seinfeld, Netflix, Leno, Super Dave, E.T., Cujo., Stephen King, Speilberg, the other Steven, Fritz Coleman and Jimmy Brogan and how I messed that shit up, money, self love, abundance, how to lose weight, gain money and love. It was a love fest. Love the Dee. I love myself, so I won't say, what's up with my hair... and my shirt... I'm way too sexy for that shit. I digress...need to watch the show, stat!

Went Live with Lori Lieberman. Don McLean inspired Lori to write a poem, which became Killing Me Softly. When Roberta Flack heard Lori’s recording on a plane she jumped! The rest is record-breaking history. There’s a story there. She told it, she played it. Goosebump city! We talked DonMcLean, Roberta Flack, The Fugees, Saturday Night Fever... there are takeaways.

It was 7 yrs in the nailing to get Peter Tolan to say, "Yes." An Emmy Winning hero, for The Larry Sanders Show... Rescue Me (in my top 5 of all time). Add to that Murphy Brown, another Emmy… Home Improvement, The Job, Ellen… how about the little film, Analyze This?!? Analyze That! I analyzed him On The Road Taken… we got to the meat of how the hell this guy does it… over and over and over again. We talked Garry Shandling, Norman Lear, Jeffrey Tambor... He cracked open his tool box and shared his tricks of the trade. Which are absolute treats.

We went Live with the fantastical Michael Gross, of Family Ties, Tremors 1, 2, 3 and 4, How I Met Your Mother, and Anger Management. A peach of man, we dig deep with my tools to get at his. He brings tremendous humility and humanity to his work. What are the secrets of his success? He shares 'em. Continually challenging himself, for one.

Here's.... ED! And he was fantastic. Tools out the wazoo! Ed shares the secrets to his success... and, I'm stealing 'em. Whether you're still seeking your fortune, or, already made yours dozens of times over, Ed's approach to life and his work is emulating worthy. He's as good as it gets. From St. Elsewhere, Ghostbusters, Six Feet Under, Arrested Development, Better Call Saul, Portlandia, Grace and Frankie, to the new Hulu series, Future Man, to name but a very few, the man is everywhere, all the time... more than that, he walks his talk... an environmental hero... a loving husband and father... an amazingly supportive friend who suits up and shows up. Could not love him more. Vicki Abelson's The Road Taken, Wed, July 26th at 7 pm PT.

I love Julie Warner. She co-starred in Mr. Saturday Night with Billy Crystal, marrying his Buddy Young Jr., I flirted with Buddy, 10 years earlier on SNL. We have crazy 2 degrees all over the place. Add Doc Hollywood, Nip/Tuck, Dexter and loads of other great work, Julie's managed to live her dream... how the hell did she do it? We shared tales about Billy and Julie shares the secrets of her success.

Jack McGee, one of my favorite actors, from one of my favorite (maybe my favorite) show of all time, Rescue Me, in the studio. Jack's IMDB is longer than Trump's nose. The Fighter, Moneyball, Crash, NYPD Blue, to name but a very few. Fantastic, amazing conversation, and, he sang! Loved every minute. Vicki Abelson's The Road Taken, Live, Wed, July 12th at 7 pm PT.

Our first Live show on ZInnaTV was a great time. Rachelle Carson-Begley was an ideal first guest. The actress (Falcon Crest, Boston Legal, NYPD Blue, State of Grace, Eight Simple Rules), activist, environmentalist, was crazy fun. Where the fuck was Ed? Unscheduled late call shooting on Future Man for Hulu. He'll be with us Wed, July 26th. Gave us more time with his gorgeous girl. Their Podcast, Begleyesque, with celebrity friend guests, on iTunes, is a must-see for anyone who cares about our planet... and, the funny. With Louise Palanker. We were blonde on blonde on blonde.

Bonus BROADcast! It's not every day I chat with a Marquis. An actual blueblood. Michael Des Barres reeks education and sophistication. He's also a Movie Star, a TV Star, a Rock Star, and currently, a DJ, on Little Steven's Underground Garage. A one-time junkie who married, perhaps the most celebrated groupie of our time, Michael's a sober, devoted, father, and ex. A true renaissance man, he speaks with authority on philosophy, art, music, film, theatre, celebrity, and Pinkberry. From To Sir with Love, NCIS, Nip/Tuck, Roseanne, Seinfeld, Northern Exposure, St. Elsewhere... signed by Jimmy Page, himself. replacing Robert Palmer to front Power Station, and at Live Aid no less, had a massive hit with Obsession, helped found Rock Against Drugs... the man is a glass all full, dynamo... gracious, charming, generous, intense. Our conversation began a tad challenging for me but very quickly evolved into one of the most thoughtful, fascinating, emotional, informative, delightful chats I've had to date. I was move

Guido the killer pimp. Ralphie, the killer. Period. Joe Pantoliano, aka Joey Pants, scared me. Joey's appeared in innumerable iconic films of varying genres. His work includes : The Idolmaker(a personal favorite), Risky Business, The Goonies, La Bamba, Midnight Run, Bad Boys I and II, Empire of the Sun, The Fugitive, The Matrix, Memento, and Daredevil, to name but some. Most notably perhaps, his Ralphie in The Sopranos, which earned him a best-supporting actor Emmy. A New York Times bestselling author, when I asked him to read at Women Who Write from his 2nd book, Asylum, chronicling his personal battle with depression, with each question he asked, I began to sweat. I’d hate to get whacked because of my lousy cooling system. He ended up being one of the warmest, earnest, most real and accessible guests we’ve had. Now, some years later, when I emailed him to ask him to guest on TRT, he shot me his digits and picked up the phone as if we’d spoken the day before. He was cooking dinner for his daughter jus

Enviable view... as I write, Chris Johnson is spending his nights staring into the glorious, celebrated, backside of Jennifer Lopez. A hired gun, Chris has sat behind, and supported, Rihanna, Madonna, Stevie Wonder, Seal, Patti LaBelle Nelly Furtado, Anastasia, and Fantasia... to name but a bunch. Self-taught, discovered playing drums in church at 17, Chris's first professional gig was being discovered by American Idol's musical director Rickey Minor... winged from LA to NYC's Beacon Theatre, playing with a band for the first time in his life, backing up gospel star, Donnie McClurkin for the first time when the stage lights came up. Chris, a fearless, talented, musical genius, does the work and gets it done. I met Chris at the advance screening of Hired Gun, an independent feature set to drop in theatres throughout the country June 29th, for one night only. Not to be missed by anyone who loves rock and the rockers who make it... starring the sidemen who oft steal stadium and arena stages from the front men

Discovered by Robert DeNiro at 17, Domenick Lombardozzi, has barely stopped to breathe. Currently, he has three projects in various stages of production. I met Dom at Phil Rosenthal’s movie night a couple of years ago when they were working on The Winklers. I'm not sure if it's our shared Bronx heritage, or if it's just Dom's way, but every time I see him it's like hanging with famiily. This conversation, a case in point. Best know as Herc in The Wire, Dom began his career handpicked by DeNiro to be Nicky Zero in A Bronx Tale. He straddles both sides of the law, criminal to enforcer… he’s bared his buns, literally, on Entourage, has appeared on NYPD Blue, Oz, Law & Order, 24, was a series regular on Breakout Kings, Boardwalk Empire, The Adventures of Mr. Clown, and can currently be seen on Rosewood and Sneaky Pete. On the big screen, Dom appears in Bridge of Spies, The Wannabe, and The Gambler to name a few. The man is always working. I so admire the actor, adore the man, and am excited to share t
