On our 150th episode of "A Spoonful of Paolo", I finally got to interview one of my all time dream guests: Rosie O'Donnell.

Elisa Donovan won our 90's hearts in classics like "Clueless", "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and "Beverly Hills 90210". Now she has released a beautiful new memoir detailing her journey from heartbreak to healing after everything in her life seemed to be falling apart. This is truly one of the most personal, touching conversations I have ever had in an interview. The insights she has gained after caring for her sick father has been unbelievably helpful to me as I go through a similar journey with my mom. I am so grateful to Elisa for having the courage to be so open and raw and creating a space for transforming pain. I hope you will pick up a copy of "Wake Me When You Leave". Reading it was the best decision I have made all year.

Joanna Kerns will always be one of my all time favorite TV moms! I was a huge fan of the classic sitcom "Growing Pains" and I was so thrilled to get the chance to speak with her about the show and her chemistry with the late, great Alan Thicke. She's keeping very busy these days producing and directing many of your favorite primetime shows. As one of the early female directors in TV, her journey behind the camera was not easy. From her legendary Hollywood career to raising a daughter as a single working mom to her battle against breast cancer, Joanna is a true fighter.

I love daytime television, I love "The View", and I LOVE Debbie Matenopoulos! I honestly could have talked to her for three hours so it took all my self control to keep this interview under 30 minutes. We had so much fun talking about her early days at MTV (anyone remember "The Grind"?!), her magical journey of getting hired at "The View" and her fantastic skin care line Ikaria. Being the kids of immigrants, Debbie and I have so much in common and I loved talking with her about her family and the American dream.

"Blending Christmas" premieres this Sunday (12/12) and I am talking to two of the stars of the movie - Aaron O'Connell and Peter Brady himself, Christopher Knight. The Bradys and Christmas will always go hand in hand for me, so it was beyond exciting to see Christopher reunite onscreen with Barry Williams, Mike Lookinland, Susan Olsen, and even Cousin Oliver Robbie Rist. Add Aaron and Haylie Duff to the mix, it's like they made this movie just for me!
