Last night I was interviewed by Access Hollywood about Jessica Simpson.

I am not a fan of nakedness as a state. Oh, sure, the kind of nakedness involving two people, usually naked touching naked? That's fun.

After standing in a line that stretched around a city block, a few girlfriends and I were finally let into the theater to see Sex and the City on opening night in Manhattan.
