Quick Chat with Blair Underwood
Blair Underwood is extremely sexy. Admit it: male or female, gay or straight, no matter what your "type" is, there's just something about him. Playing the mysterious Simon Elder on ABC's Dirty Sexy Money -- not to mention past screen-steamers like Jonathan Rollins on L.A. Law, Miranda's boyfriend Dr. Robert on Sex and the City and New Adventures of Old Christine's hunky teacher Mr. Harris -- it's no wonder Underwood ranks so high on the TV's 50 Hottest TV Hunks -- Ever countdown over at AOL Television.
Underwood dished to us about his love for Donald Trump's reality TV show, his Barack Obama connection and what kind of trouble is coming up on Dirty Sexy Money.

Quick Chat with Kat Von D
She's almost completely covered in ink, she's dating a rock star and she reserves the right to refuse tattoos to anyone. Kat Von D is one tough lady. In season 2 of her show L.A. Ink (premieres Thursday, Oct. 9 at 10PM EST), Kat brings in even more celebrities for some body art and, of course, they all bring their drama -- some sad and some just plain crazy for Democracy.
We talked to Kat about her busy schedule and growing business, her favorite TV shows and why she refuses to tattoo a crazy underwater outer space scene anywhere on anyone's body ... so just don't even ask.

Quick Chat with Jerry Springer & Piers Morgan
The stars were out at NBC's big fall kick-off party, but no one was having as much fun as Jerry Springer and Piers Morgan. The two opposing sides of some very emotional dice on America's Got Talent actually get along famously ... when they're not still bickering over whether a certain 4-year-old contestant should've gone home.
We talked to Jerry and Piers about what they're looking for on the show, whose name gets chanted the most and why Springer has become a total softie.

Quick Chat with Chi McBride
Chi McBride made a name for himself playing incredibly serious, commanding, dramatic roles, which is probably why people love him so much as Emerson Cod, the cynic with perfect comedic timing on ABC's Pushing Daisies. When Pushing Daisies returns for its second season (premiering Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 8PM EST), we'll find Emerson, Ned, Chuck and Olive solving murders in a particularly buzz-worthy cosmetics company, a killer circus, a magician's castle and a nunnery, just to name a few.
Chi talked to us about Emerson's softer side, his mission in life and how to become his best friend ever ... and it only requires a few million friends.

Quick Chat with Chuck star Zachary Levi
Want the scoop on some of TV's biggest guest stars? Well, most of them are on NBC's Chuck (second season premieres Monday, Sept. 29 at 8PM EST), so we went straight to the source. Star Zachary Levi dished to us all about the famous faces that are coming to play this season, including Michael Clarke Duncan, John Larroquette, Nicole Richie, Tony Hale and ... Alf?
Also, find out the fellow NBC star he's most mistaken for, why he called himself a douchebag and what possible (OK, totally improbable) future storyline he let slip about a team of midget ninjas. No kidding.

Quick Chat with the Little Britain USA guys
If you love British comedy, people who make jabs at America or men dressed in drag for that matter (we won't judge), then Little Britain USA (premiering Sunday, Sept. 28 at 10:30 PM EST on HBO) should be right up your alley.
David Walliams and Matt Lucas, who created and starred in the hit BBC series Little Britain, are bringing their irreverent humor and a bunch of their best characters -- like Phyllis, who believes her dog talks to her; Carol Beer, the meanest hospital receptionist you'll ever meet; and Bubbles Devere, a wildly inappropriate and totally uninhibited British socialite -- to America.
We talked to David and Matt about their dream of dressing George Clooney up as a lady, why following in Sacha Baron Cohen and Ricky Gervias' footsteps is just fine with them and how Brits and Americans really differ. (Hint: Men don't shave their bikini lines over there.)

Set visit: Opportunity Knocks
Which way does your toilet paper hang? Can you pick your husband's high school girlfriend out of a lineup? And do you know your mother-in-law's birthday by heart? Opportunity Knocks (premiering Tuesday, Sept. 23 at 8PM EST on ABC), the new game show starring families across America, tests your knowledge of the simpler things in life, letting parents get to learn more about their kids, and vice versa.
We tracked down the mobile set just south of Los Angeles, CA, to see the show in action. After sneaking past the line of neighbors, all anxious to get a peek, we uncovered seven things about the show that you won't see on TV.

Quick chat with Jordan Belfi of Entourage
The name Jordan Belfi might not mean much to you, but if you watch Entourage, you absolutely know Adam Davies. And, if Belfi's done his job right, you probably really hate the guy. As the best-dressed nemesis on TV, Davies is the super-agent foil to most of Ari Gold's (Jeremy Piven) plans and schemes. And in a particularly conniving episode (airing Sun., Sept. 21 at 10PM), the Davies/Gold smack down reaches new heights. Or lows, depending on how you see it.
Belfi talked to us about his character's underhanded ways, his most devoted fans and why watching Gordon Ramsay vomit means must-see-TV in his house.
