In her first interview since being released from jail, Paris Hilton told CNN’s Larry King on Wednesday that she has never used drugs, isn’t a big drinker, and although she feels her incarceration was unwarranted, God had a reason for putting her there.

“Don’t serve the time; let the time serve you,” Hilton said. “I have a new outlook on life.”

Grilled about the friends she had to sacrifice, she replied, “I’ve gotten rid of a lot of people.” Asked for names, she said, “I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but they know who they are.”

During her 23 days in jail, Paris Hilton said she meditated, read letters from fans, talked to other inmates through the vents, wrote in her journal and read the Bible, though she couldn’t cite a favorite passage when asked. It was also nice to have a little privacy, she said, and to “be away from all the flashes for a while.”

But there were rough times, too, she said. The food “wasn’t that tasty,” she said. Being strip-searched was the most humiliating experience of her life and one Sunday visit from her parents was especially emotional for her, she said.

“It was my first Father’s Day I couldn’t give my dad a hug, and that was really hard on me,” she said, describing how she was separated from her visitors by glass.”

Asked three times if she has ever used or been addicted to drugs, she replied flatly, “No.” Asked if she was a big drinker, Hilton told King, “I’m not really into it. I think socially people do sometimes when they go out, but it’s not something that I really care about.”

Stacy Ann Ferguson began her career in 1983 as the voice of Sally Brown in the children’s cartoon series Charlie Brown. Shortly afterwards, at the age of eight, she made her first appearance on the variety television program Kids Incorporated.

Ferguson replaced Black Eyed Peas background singer Kim Hill, who left the group in 2000. Ferguson recorded five songs with the group before she was invited to join them permanently.

Fergie released her first solo single “London Bridge” on July 13, 2006 and it reached #1 in the US music chart.

Growing up in a strict Catholic upbringing, “I’ve had lesbian experiences in the past. I won’t say how many men I’ve had sex with – but I’m a very sexual person.”

“I started doing Ecstasy. Then I got addicted to crystal methamphetamine. My weight dropped to 90lb. I lied to my friends and said I was bulimic. Finally I started going crazy. In that moment I talked to God and He said: ‘I’ve given you all these gifts, so what are you doing?’ I decided to get clean. I told everybody what was wrong.”

Eva Longoria and long time boyfriend, Tony Parker were married in Paris at the Church of Saint Germain l’Auxerrois, on July 7, 2007. Eva wore a 75,000 dollar Angel Sanchez mermaid gown with a scoop back and a long train.

Eva got into trouble with Desperate Housewives producers, after leaking storylines on a chat show in April 2007.

“I hate sex scenes and kissing scenes. It’s just an uncomfortable situation for everybody: ‘Put your elbow over here, find your light here’. It’s not really natural and just awkward.”

Eva is in negotiations to write a raunchy novel. She has already planned an erotic plot for her first foray into literature and can’t wait for the work to be published.

Despite her strict Catholic upbringing, Heather Graham has expressed belief in more New Age and Eastern beliefs. Heather’s parents are strictly Catholic and did not want her to take part in any film which dealt with sex.

Heather Graham and her parents are now estranged, perhaps due to her choice of roles.

“Boogie Nights was quite explicit and my parents were horrified. They didn’t really want to hear my point of view, and thought that, because I took the part, then I was like that in real life. It would be nice if I did have a good relationship with my family, and yes, part of me longs to have a mom and dad who love and accept me for who I am. But if they never do, it’s OK.  I’ve learned to take care of myself.”

“Whenever I meet people who seem really sweet and unassuming, I kind of wonder about them.”

Heather Graham jokingly reacting to a question about her character, “I’m a nice Catholic girl, just like Madonna.”

Gwen Stefani is the beautiful lead singer for No Doubt and has had a successful solo career.

We’ve all had that moment when we sense that things are about to change. For Gwen Stefani that epiphany occurred as a high school senior in Orange County.

‘I remember being this 17 year-old girl, in love and really excited about my future with the boy that I thought was going to be my husband and we’d have babies and that, ‘she pauses, ‘was my passion. Then I learned that I could write songs and that is when my life changed. I went from being this really passive girl to ‘Oh my God.

This makes me feel so powerful when I write these words.’ It was such a turning point to find that I had a talent and I had something to contribute, somewhere.”

Gwen Stefani was married at a London church for her September 14th 2002 nuptials to Gavin Rossdale, but arrived an hour late.

“I’m just an Orange County girl from a loving family making music with my friends. It’s not really that big of a deal. Writing songs is super intimate. It’s a bit like getting naked.”

“I’ve never considered myself a great singer. To be honest, it’s kind of nasally and piercing and I have no range.”

British model, Keeley Hazell is most famous as a Page 3 Girl, becoming one of the series most popular models. She won 2005’s Page 3 Idol competition.

Why did you turn down the chance to pose for Playboy? “I didn’t actually agree to do Playboy in the first place, because I didn’t like the whole concept of going nude and having everyone see all of my body.”

What’s the second most favorite thing you’ve ever held in your hand? (Giggles) “Well, I have a few ideas what you want me to say, but I’m going to resist….so, the favorite thing I have ever held in my hand is …. an ice cream!”

As a teenager, Keeley Hazell was a frequent truant and stayed out late on school nights drinking. She confesses to having only taken five GCSE examinations due to being ejected from several of them; however, she did well in mathematics and English despite suffering from dyslexia.

In early January 2007, a sex tape of Keeley Hazell and ex-boyfriend Lloyd Miller was released on the Internet.

Beautiful Evangeline Lilly has risen to stardom primarily due to her performance in the hit ABC TV show “Lost”. Evangeline plays one of the main characters “Kate”, opposite hunk Matthew Fox.

Evangeline Lilly has blasted socialite Paris Hilton and her party girl pals for living a selfish existence. “Those people couldn’t give a rat’s a*s if somebody was starving in the street next to them.”

The Canadian actress tries to spend as much time away from Tinseltown as possible and prefers to spend her free time relaxing in Hawaii or doing charity work. She says, “(I need to help people or I’d be) no better than the Paris Hiltons of the world, waltzing around with their Louis Vuitton bags and their little dogs.

She was discovered by a Ford agent on the streets of Kelowna, BC. Evangeline rejected the offer first, but later signed with the agency in order to help pay for college tuition.

Evangeline got the role as Kate on “Lost” by sending in an audition tape – show creator Abrams asked her to test for ABC executives in Los Angeles.

On the stress of Hollywood, Teri Hatcher says “I haven’t tried to kill myself, but I’ve certainly thought about it, and then I feel guilty about thinking about it, because what’s so terrible about my life?”

When asked about ever getting over her past molestation, “I don’t think so… I don’t think so. I think that whoever ends up in my life — my girlfriends, a man who I might be intimate with — I think they’ll have to want to embrace it as part of me. I think it’s better to embrace your experiences as a part of you, than try to compartmentalize them, and pretend that they don’t exist… But it doesn’t dominate me.

Teri has suffered two injuries on the set of Desperate Housewives. She suffered an eye injury when a light bulb exploded. She also broke 2 ribs while filming the scene in which she stumbles into a wedding cake.

On her role as Susan, “We are similar in some ways, but I think where we most relate is that I can be incredibly well intended, try very hard to get something right, and it just goes wrong. You know? I’m unlucky that way and I think she’s very unlucky.”

About rumors of using Botox, “I don’t use Botox or Restylane and I’ve never had any surgery. A male friend in the fashion industry once asked me, ‘Why is make-up any different to getting Botox?’ I said I didn’t think it was a fair comparison, make-up is removable, it’s not permanent. But changing the natural chemical state of who you are? I’m not sure.”

Kritanna Loken loved to ride horses when she was a student: She performed in equestrian events, and was riding great distances in Hawaii, Ireland and Namibia.

“I always try to make myself be very approachable and easy to talk to, so hopefully people will feel that they can approach me.”

About her role in Terminator 3, “In the back of my mind I kept thinking, I’m fighting Arnold (Schwarzenegger) and I’ve got to be naked in front of the world. So that was enough incentive. I would work, like, 20 hours and pump iron constantly in my gym.”

Kristanna’s bust was 34B before her breast implants. Kristanna Loken is a vegetarian, an occasional smoker and a proud bisexual woman.

“I have dated and have had sex with men and women and have to say that the relationships I have had with certain women have been much more fulfilling, sexually and emotionally, than of those with certain men. I connect with an aura, with energy. And if the person with whom I connect happens to be a female, that’s just the way it is. That’s what makes my wheels turn.”

The role of Lois Lane pretty much launched the acting career of Erica Durance into the stratosphere, prior to taking on the mantle of Lois Lane.

Erica Durance had been playing the part of the jobbing actor, taking whatever work she could get in order to pay the bills. It’s a struggle for most in Hollywood to even get a call back, let alone a role in a movie.

Prior to her role on Smallville she had taken guest roles on shows such as: Tru Calling and Andromeda.

Erica Durance said, “I really was worried at first because Lois Lane is such and iconic character, and what are you going to do with Lana?” Durance asks rhetorically. “Are you just going to barge in? A lot of them were really frank and said.”

Erica Durance continues, “I was really worried at first, but now I think you’ve done a great job. That was kind of nice, especially coming from people who know so much about superman and the whole superman mythology. I’m sure there are people who don’t like my Lois, too, but you’re always going to get that. I’m my own worst critic. There’s always stuff I feel I need to learn.”

Erica was one of the 6 beautiful women of Scifi featured in the 2007 Women of Scifi Calendar.

“I’m really enjoying myself. The things that they’ve allowed me to do, and the different characters that I get to work with – it just keeps getting more and more.”

Former model Jessica Biel hit it big with her very first TV role as a minister’s adolescent daughter on 7th Heaven. Jessica Biel disliked the character’s goody-goody image.

After creating a lot of attention by posing seminude for a popular men’s magazine, the underage beauty Jessica Biel started to win more mature film roles.

Previously, Jessica Biel was once romantically linked with two of her costars, Cellular’s Chris Evans and 7th Heaven’s Adam LaVorgna.

When I told various friends I’d be interviewing Jessica Biel, I got the responses you’d expect—jealousy, mild rage, a plea to give her a phone number because she’s the one person that a friend’s wife would give him a free pass to sleep with. Full article
