Contact Any Celebrity on CNN

So I was interviewed this morning on CNN about Contact Any Celebrity and the Celebrity Black Book. For those of you who have never visited CNN Center in Atlanta, you must!

Entertainment correspondent Veronica De La Cruz conducted the interview, which will air sometime soon on CNN.com's new Pipeline service. I've done interviews on live television before, but this one was tricky. First of all the anchor was in a totally separate room (even though she was just a few feet away) and I had to look into a camera the whole time pretending like it was her!

Actually, it looked more like a small black chalkboard than a camera. Further, I could only hear her questions through a small speaker in my ear and wasn't allowed to look at the monitor below showing how it will look on TV. Tricky, especially when you want to see the anchor's facial expressions or what you look like.

It was totally fun, but I didn't know doing TV interviews could be so challenging! I hope it came out ok. As soon as the producer tells me when it will air I'll post it here along with a link so you can let me know what you think. In the meantime, check out the CNN Pipeline Web site at http://www.cnn.com/pipeline
