Meet Nico Tortorella The Following

7 Questions With Nico Tortorella The Following You may recognize the sexy 24-year-old Nico Tortorella from his roles in Scream 4, Make It or Break It or The Beautiful Life, but it’s his current gig as a “follower” on FOX’s breakout series The Following (Mondays) that is capturing viewer attention. Tortorella plays the skittish Jacob who was part of that strange love triangle between Emma and Paul and is now on the run from Kevin Bacon’s Detective Ryan Hardy. As of presstime his character has yet to kill or be killed (thankfully, he’s a follower with a conscious), and his [...]

“7 Questions” with Dan Cortese of truTV’s “Guinness World Records Gone Wild”

Dan Cortese is certainly no stranger to seeing people perform odd physical feats for the amusement of others. Having gotten his start fronting the proudly offbeat MTV Sports back in the early ’90s, along with being a fixture at various MTV Rock N’ Jock contests where celebrities liked to pretend they were athletes, Cortese has made a steady career for himself as an actor and TV personality. The former Melrose Place and Veronica’s Closet star is now hosting truTV’s Guinness World Records Gone Wild, — premiering Thursday at 8pm — which features everyday folks trying to forge their name in [...]

“7 Questions” With … Jim Jefferies of FX’s “Legit”

Aussie comic Jim Jefferies says his FX series, Legit — which premieres at 10:30pm Thursday — is basically about him as he was five years ago. That was when booze and women were paramount in his life, and he was wondering whether this comedy thing was going to work out. But now he’s in a stable relationship with the mother of his newborn son, and star of his own sitcom, a gleefully vulgar affair that also features a surprising amount of tenderness. You’re at a magazine rack and can only pick three titles. Which ones do you choose? Empire. I’ll take a Rolling [...]

7 Questions With … Hines Ward of “Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off”

He’s the legendary Pittsburgh Steeler who broke records (and one opponent’s jaw) on the field, then broke hearts in the Dancing With the Stars ballroom before retiring from the NFL last May to become an NBC football analyst. Now Hines Ward is testing his game in a whole new arena — the kitchen — as a contestant on Season 2 of Food Network’s Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off, battling Johnny Weir, Kathy Najimy, Carnie Wilson, Gilbert Gottfried and others for celeb-chef supremacy. “I thought it would be good that people can see a side of me that they don’t normally get [...]

Jenny McCarthy Show: “7 Questions” With … Jenny McCarthy

Jenny McCarthy says her mission with her new late-night talk show is to “bring sexy back” to the genre. This seems like an eminently attainable goal for the former Playboy centerfold, who describes The Jenny McCarthy Show as “Playboy After Dark meets Watch What Happens Live.” The weekly gabfest, which will feature celebs and comedy segments, will haunt VH1 Fridays beginning Feb. 8. The show will shoot in Los Angeles, but if it’s a big hit and the network wants to make it a daily program, McCarthy says she will insist production move to her hometown of Chicago, where she [...]

“7 Questions” With … Lisa Lampanelli of HGTV’s “Celebrity Holiday Homes”

When I interviewed Lisa Lampanelli, she was kind, courteous and about as accommodating as one could hope. … I know, I was disappointed, too. Then again, the acid-tongued comic known as the Queen of Mean — who made her name mercilessly roasting celebrities like William Shatner, Pamela Anderson, and Donald Trump — was talking about a project that put her in a very good mood. She is one of three famous folks (along with Tamara Tunie and Haylie Duff) receiving a seasonal home makeover in the latest Celebrity Holiday Homes, which airs 9pm Friday on HGTV. She jokes that she was [...]

“7 Questions” with … Steve-O from truTV’s “Killer Karaoke”

It’s tough getting up and singing in front of people, even if you’re not having to deal with getting lowered into a tank full of snakes. But that’s the type of challenge contestants face on truTV’s outrageous new competition series Killer Karaoke, which premieres 9pm Friday. The show could not have picked a more appropriate host than Jackass star Steve-O, who brought his usual candor to our “7 Questions.” You’re at a magazine rack and can only pick three titles. Which ones do you choose? Maxim. I don’t know if you want me to qualify my answer, but I prefer [...]

“7 Questions” With … Brian Austin Green of TBS’ “Wedding Band”

Brian Austin Green is happy to just be playing a hard-partying ladies’ man on TV, having long passed the time when he found that lifestyle enjoyable. In TBS’ bawdy but heartfelt comedy Wedding Band — premiering Nov. 10 at 10pm — he plays Tommy, the frontman for Mother of the Bride, a group of four buddies who aren’t ready to give up the dream of being rock stars. In real life, the 39-year-old former Beverly Hills, 90210 star says he mostly avoids the nightlife, having recently welcomed a baby boy with wife Megan Fox, who guest stars on an episode of [...]
