ABC used to pay for acting lessons for their actors. I know Kelly Rippa said that when she first joined AMC, she really sucked, so they paid for her to take acting lessons.

Leona Lewis was the winner of X-Factor, which is similar to the Idol show and Simon Cowell is the main judge.

November 7, 2007 Edition of ITZ:

Tonight's hosts: Ryan C. & Shawn D.

Popular soap columnist, formerly of Soap Opera Weekly (SOW), Marlena De Lacroix returns as a guest for our show. Marlena previously appeared on the October 3rd edition of ITZ, but due to scheduling and time constraints, we weren't able to have as much time as we wanted. She was kind enough to agree to come back on the show at a later date. Marlena has agreed to be on for the first full hour of the show.

There were many questions that weren't able to be addressed last time, but this time we will!

Topics on the table for discussion tonight with Marlena include (but not limited to):

- The writers strike

- Sweeps

- Y&R & GH's stunts

- One Life to Live

- Marlena's big announcement

And of course, the topics and questions those of you posted, e-mailed and PMed! (All questions and topics that were posted in this thread will be addressed

Is there a bit of static for everyone else?

^None for me, Toups.

OMG! She mentioned my fav GL writing team!

Tell her JER wrote with Nancy Curlee (the main HW), Stephen Demorest, and Lorraine Broderick!

It was the same thing the year before. Everyone was floored that Mo got the pre-nom for 2005 over SB.

Will Erica EVER say the G word?

Marlena's a Reilly fan? Awesome!

If the internet replaces TV in the next 10 years and the writers don't get paid for it they'll be left with NOTHING!

If all My Kids get's axed do you think some of the AMC characters will end up One Life?
