Please help me welcome Tiffani Thiessen to MSN Live! (01) Comment: Tiffani, welcome to MSN Live! It's great to meet you! Response: Hey! How are you guys?! Thanks for coming online! Comment: Congratulations on your new film, "The Ladies Man." Are you excited about the release tomorrow? Response: I'm a little nervous, but I have a feeling it will do really well. And the premiere was great! We had a good time! Comment: We have thousands of questions from your fans, Tiffani, so let's get started! (02) Question: I expect working with Tim Meadows must have been so much fun. Was it? Answer: Yes! It was a blast! Being that he's one of the funniest comedians I've worked with so far. I've never laughed so hard! . (03) Question: Tell me about Honey, your character. Answer: I play Will Ferrell's wife, Honey DeLune, and she's not satisfied in her marriage, if you know what I mean (wink) and she seeks out Leon Phelps to seeks out to find those things she's not getting in her marriage. (04) Question: Tiffani, I just wanted to say that you are one hot babe! I love your work. You're an excellent actress. Was "The Ladies Man" a fun and easy part to learn? Answer: It was definitely pretty easy. It was fun being around really funny people. The hardest part for me was being in lingerie, it was hard being in front of people. (05) Question: What upcoming movies, other than "The Ladies Man," are you going to do? Answer: I have another movie, "Shreek; I Know What You Did Last Friday the 13th" and I also have a comedy in development. (06) Comment: We need to see you back on TV! Response: (laughs) Thank you! I need to be back on TV. (07) Question: What is better? Films or TV for you? Answer: They are so completely different. I like them both for different reasons. TV is more consistent and movies have more variety. (08) Question: How did it come about that you did the Vertical Horizon video? Answer: Actually I was asked to do the video. Funny enough I was so taken back because their CD was in my car, they are one of my favorite bands. It was so much fun! (09) Question: You were great in "She Fought Alone." Was this the hardest role for you? Answer: Actually I have to say it was one of the hardest roles I've ever had to do. Emotionally, physically, I was away from home for a month and we filmed in Texas and I'm allergic to mosquitoes and it was like crazy mosquito season there. I love the way the film turned out, but it was a really hard shoot for me. (10) Question: How do you like the idea of chatrooms as a way of interacting with your fans Answer: I love it! This is my second time doing this and I think it's amazing how we can do this so easily! (11) Question: How did you get this role? Answer: The normal process. I auditioned for it. I went up for it once and was called a few days later and left a few weeks later to shoot it. (12) Question: Tiffani, was there a really funny off camera moment during "The Ladies Man" you can remember and what did you keep from the set? . Answer: Oh wow! I just remember all my scenes were shot at night and I remember drinking as much coffee to keep myself up. Everyone was doing the same thing, everyone was a little... not uptight, but crazy funny! The first time I was in a scene with a guy that had less clothes on then me. (laughs) (13) Question: I think you are one of the most beautiful women in the business, how do you look so good all the time. how do you get that Tiffani GLOW? Answer: (laughs) A few things. First off, I'm in love, that's one of the reasons. Secondly, I try and eat as healthy as possible. And also I'm into Pilates which is great! (14) Question: Is Pilates hard? Answer: It's not that it's hard, it's just completely different. Most people that do it were dancers, it's just a lot of stretching and you get better at it every time. (15) Question: You definitely have that in love glow, can you tell us who you are in love with? Answer: I met him on "Two Guys and a Girl," Richard Ruccolo. (16) Comment: He's adorable! You're lucky and so is he! . (17) Question: What was it like working for Aaron Spelling? Answer: He's an amazing man. He's extremely intelligent and such a savvy businessman. It was great because you think of him as one of the biggest producers, but he was so attainable and I could go to him with any question or problem or whatever. . (18) Comment: Later, catch a clip of "The Ladies Man" starring Tiffani Thiessen at http://www.windowsmedia.com (19) Question: Tiffani, how were the Olympics? I hear you went. Answer: Yes! I just got back from Australia, one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. Sidney is one of the most beautiful cities and Australians are some of the nicest people! (20) Question: Did you have a favorite event? Answer: I missed the gymnastics, so we ended up watching diving, and saw the Gold Medal Dream Team win and went to the closing ceremonies, which was really great! (21) Question: Hi Tiffani! You're great at comedy and drama both. Do you enjoy one more than the other? Tiffani Thiessen says: Wow! No, it's kind of the same thing with TV and film. I enjoy both! I think they're both difficult and rewarding in different ways and I would like to keep up with both sides to keep it going. I'm enjoying doing comedy, which is what I'm mostly doing these days. (22) Question: Last episodes of "90210" are now showing in Denmark, do you realize how many fans you have outside of the US? Answer: I do to a certain degree, but it came back up when I went to Australia because they are showing new episodes there. It's kind of quiet here in the states, so it was interesting to see that down there. I know it's shown in a lot of places all over. (23) Question: Do you have your own website and if so what is the name of it? Answer: It's actually on Celebsites.com I don't know if it's up and running right now, if it isn't, it will be up very soon. (24) Question: Tiffani, what do you do at the end of a long hard day? . Answer: I usually come home and spend time laying around the house if I'm not running errands that I can't do during the day. I spend time with Rich, and my dog Clyde and my cats Sadie and Savanna. (25) Question: Do you regret anything about being in show business most of your life? Answer: No, actually I'm very grateful for what I do and have obtained, there's nothing I would change. Not to say there weren't times in my life I'd say "I can't do this anymore." But I love what I do. (26) Question: Any comments on the election? Answer: I've been really busy but I have watched some of the debates. (27) Question: Do you know which magazines you are currently in? Answer: I'm in "Brentwood" magazine (in LA), "Entertainment Weekly," "Movieline," and "US Weekly." (28) Question: Tiffani, are you dressing up for Halloween? Going anywhere? Answer: I don't know if I'm dressing up in costume, but I'll definitely have a fun evening with my friends. Not too crazy, pretty quiet. (29) Question: I was wondering if your last name is originally from Denmark? Answer: From what I hear it's actually German, but biologically it's not my real last name. It was the name my father was given after he was adopted by his father. (30) Question: Hi Tiffani! What drew you to the role of Honey DeLune? Do you share any qualities? Answer: The only quality we share is we definitely look alike. (laughs) That's about it! I was drawn to the movie and working with Tim Meadows and Will Ferrell, not the character. (31) Question: Do you have a favorite scene in "The Ladies Man"? Answer: ummm, my favorite scene... let's see.. I'd have to say the whole beginning sequence of the movie, it's really funny! And the way it was directed! It's really great! You'll have to go see it! It's very funny! (32) Question: Do you have some type of huge home library of all the times you've been on TV? Answer: (laughs) To a certain degree, yes. I have all the episodes of "Saved by the Bell" in a closet and I have my favorite episodes of "90210" but not all of them. Definitely a lot of videocassettes around. (33) Question: I remember reading that you owned two dogs, Bonnie and Clyde, what became of Bonnie? Answer: Bonnie, my girl dog, Clyde's sister, passed away 2 years ago of cancer. I definitely know she's in a better place and I know she's doing much better now. (34) Comment: We're going to go with one last comment. Question: I used to have such a crush on you from your "Saved by the Bell" days, and I still enjoy watching shows you're in. I look forward to seeing your new movie! (I say this as my girlfriend hits me) Answer: Yeah, I'm a girlfriend, I know how that can be. You hit him real hard! (laughs) (35) Comment: Tiffani, thanks for being with us tonight to talk about your new film, "The Ladies Man." Everyone, go see it tomorrow! Response: Thanks! I had a great time! Comment: Thanks, Tiffani! Come back again! |
