Greenroom Celebrity Gamut
The actor Evan Handler was here to talk about his memoir called “It’s Only Temporary: The Good News and the Bad News of Being Alive.” The book is about his struggle and ultimate triumph following a cancer diagnosis. But, come on Evan, let’s get an equally pressing issue — Sex and the City!! Give me some juicy details about the movie. No, wait, don’t! Don’t spoil it for me! I may have been sending him mixed messages. Evan recommends everyone buy his book on their way to the movie. (He just wrote that). He seemed confused (ok, annoyed) by my pestering him to talk about the movie. I told him my theory that the producers of the show had actually planted a listening device in my house for their weekly story ideas. He asked if I’d gotten an actual psychiatric diagnosis for my condition. “Huge ego?” I offered. “Paranoia,” he retorted.
Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister was also here — he arrived by way of custom-made motorcycle by Full-Throttle designed to draw attention to his personal cause of improving babies’ health through the March of Dimes. Two of Dee’s four children were born prematurely (as were two of mine) and we bonded about the deep anxiety that surrounds parents of preemies. As Gretchen pointed out, the March of Dimes website can be a balm to ease those fears and answer questions. As you can see in the photo, I attemped to mount the bike but my skirt would not allow that manuever.
And who knew William Shatner is also a spokesperson for the March of Dimes? As we discovered, that wasn’t the only life experience he and Dee Snyder shared. If you tune into the AtSS, you’ll hear how they both went from riding high as stars to being down and out…then came back again. And you’ll hear a disturbing story about his run in with a frisky gorilla, plus a word not normally uttered on morning television. I substituted that word for “Cheese” when we took this shot.
Would have been a good day to wear your leather pants!
As a matter of fact any day would be a good day for leather. : }
OJT - I like the way you think!
Alisyn,
I can’t believe the possibility of a potential wardrobe malfunction would stop an ace reporter like yourself from getting to the butt of the story, especially on the ATSS!

hi ali
i just watched the atss it was hilarious
alisyn,
you are smokin hot.
I’m wondering if the party starts early @ FOX NEWS ATSS. Tues. show not posted. Love it, and miss it in the mornings when it’s not there all week long. ????
OMG - William Shatner, Mancow and Brian all at the same time…I needed some air :). What a great show!
Alisyn in leather chaps!!!!!!!! I wanna see that! I can relate to the preemie situation, had a son when I was 18 (in ‘83) and he was 2lb 1oz. technology keeps changing, which I am always happy to hear things keep improving for the preemies. I can remeber the long days by his side.
This in reference to today’s show, 5.15.2008. I heard on Rush’s Show that there are 57 Islamic states, could that have been the confusion with the states comment?
Hiya, Alisyn…
Long-time viewer, first-time writer.
With the cliche’ out of the way, I’d like to ask you who your favorite “off-camera” guest was, and why? In other words, who was the most enjoyable guest behind the scenes?
Thanks!
Is it me or is Allsyn getting a little goose in that second pic?
HI ALISYN,
I WISH YOU WOULD HAVE AT LEAST TRIED TO GET ON THE BIKE, YOU SHOULD HAVE WORN YOR LEATHER THAT WOULD HAVE LOOK GOOD.
