TV Guide: How did the Extra anchor job come about?
They have this new concept involving a social network, and they want the show to be very innovative and very clever. They asked me if I wanted to take the helm. I was flattered and honored. I love hosting, whether it’s a barbecue at my house or a TV show. And I’m still able to work on other projects, so it’s great.
TV Guide: What kind of changes can we expect?
The set is definitely going to look different. There’s going to be a strong Internet presence. We’re going to have kiosks set up all over the country for people to come and ask questions.

TV Guide: You've had plenty of cameras trained on your life. Is it more fun to be behind the cameras in the gossip business or in front of them?
Behind. [Laughs] But it comes with the territory in this whole MySpace, TMZ, YouTube world. You just have to take it with a grain of salt. It’s kind of funny.
TV Guide: What stories have gotten you upset?
There are a lot of things that are untrue. If my social life was as active as they like to put out there, I would be a happier guy! [Laughs] But that’s not the case.
TV Guide: You have dated every girl in the business, haven’t you?
According to the tabloids. It’s kind of funny. I wish I had time for a social life! That’s the irony. I don’t.
TV Guide: What do fans think of your recent TV Guide "Hot Bods" cover with The Hills' Audrina Patridge?
People love that cover! They ask me to sign it a lot. I keep hearing that I look naked. They ask, "Did Audrina mind that you were naked?" First of all, I had shorts on. And I’m sure she would have minded!
TV Guide: Are you pinching yourself that all of this is happening to you at this point in your career?
I am. I feel very blessed. I’m going to church and lighting a candle.

I am still trying to figure out how AC Slater made a comeback! I know it is sort of a lame comeback but I really didn't expect to hear about this guy again.
Oh please, this interview certainly wasn't hard-hitting. Not even one question about him cheating on long-term girlfriend Karina Smirnoff with the Hooters waitress? Please. This guy is a skank man-ho who's struggling to extend his 15 minutes. Hopefully he'll fade away soon.

Urg.
is he wearing hot pink lip gloss?
What is going to happen to Dayna Devon and Mark McGrath??
...they want the show to be very innovative and very clever, so they asked him to take the helm. Sounds somewhat contradictory!! Then we get he feels so blessed that he's going to church to light a candle. So now we know - he's one of God's chosen ones. This guy is suffering from a serious case of narcissism. Just the photo of him next to the his painting makes me want to throw up.
Hot!
