Don't miss Enrique Iglesias and his special, guest-appearance on "The Young and The Restless" on Wednesday, Nov. 7th. He is so handsome! How could he NOT be? My grandmother once threw her panties at his father. Okay, so maybe that isn't true. But she wanted to. Here is an excerpt from an interview he participated in while he was on set.
How was it on the set today?

"It was fun! A lot of fun. It was just singing really. The people are very nice. Days of Our Lives is one of my favorite shows (he says jokingly). I love John Black (everyone laughs)! And Carrie. No, I love The Young and the Restless. I watch it sometimes. You can see it everywhere. I TiVo it everyday. I am one of those obsessive fans. It's the biggest soap opera so even if you don't watch the show, everybody knows what is going on."

Did you enjoy your guest appearance on How I met your mother?

"I love that show. I love acting and I love doing comedy. I love sitcoms. I like shows like CBS' Two and a Half Men, Showtime's Californication and NBC's Heroes. The type of TV that I watch, I will go from MTV to those kind of shows. I watch MTV for the videos though not for the reality shows. I got a TiVo about a year ago and it is amazing! I love it. When I travel and go to hotels, I forget that they don't have TiVo and can't pause the programming."

Do you enjoy acting or is it something you just like to do when it comes up?

"No, I love it. I love filming. I am a film buff. When I have days off, I go to the movies. I have done a couple of small roles on films. I would rather do that and do some sitcoms to get better and better."

Would you like to be a lead?

"That would be too scary right now, to carry the whole movie. I would rather do small things surrounded by great actors and learn as much as possible."

What's next for you?

"I'm touring. I am leaving for South Africa."

As a musician, what is your favorite part of the creative process?

"I like writing and touring. Writing is a lot like therapy and touring is just a lot of fun."

Funny fan experiences?

"I had a fan that waited under a table for like 10 hours at the Anaheim Pond in LA. She waited with her sister. I came early for sound check at about 4pm and she was afraid to come out so she stayed under the table until after the show before coming out."

What haven't you done that you would still like to do?

"I just want to write better songs. There is always that song that you hear that you say, 'I wish I had written that.'"

Enrique just needs a good massage every night from an adoring fan (who happens to be pregnant and married - DARN IT). Mr. Iglesias has a really hard time falling asleep. He relies on the drug Ambian to get some REM going. But now he is up to 30mg a day and still not feeling the full effect.

"I have been having real trouble sleeping... I've been on Ambian (prescription drug) to try to sort out the problem. I started off on 5mg, then when that didn't work I went to 10, 15, 20 and now I'm on 30mg a day and it's still not working 100 per cent.
"I went to see the doctor the other day and he stuck a camera down my throat to see what was going on in my stomach and he gave me a shot that knocked me out for 30 minutes. It was honestly the best sleep I've had in years! I tried to get him to give me some to take away with me, but it's for surgery only."

I have to say... we had some issues with a past quote from this interview. If this proves to be false, I will update this post as soon as I know.
