Dane Cook Remembers His Best On Screen Kiss And Streaking Fans – EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS

Did you catch Dane Cook on Extra Tuesday tonight?
Dane was there to promote his new tour and there were plenty of fans on hand during his interview with Mario Lopez, asking intriguing questions of their own.
One asked Dane who has been his best on-set kiss. Dane responded, “Kevin Costner!” Then he said, “Actually, the perfect answer is…I just say ‘Jessica.'” Funny, evasive answer because he has co-starred with both Jessica Simpson (Employee of the Month) and Jessica Alba (Good Luck Chuck).
Another fan asked Dane what the craziest thing a fan has done to catch Dane’s attention. Dane said: “I had a streaker on my last tour. I just heard the crowd kind of like getting all excited, and I thought the joke was working well then I see this guy is running across the stage in his skimpies.”
Dane has been doing comedy since high school –20 years– and is about to embark on yet another live tour.  He is also about to release his 6th comedy album in 7 years, I Did My Best, which will be available November 22.

Chevy Chase birthday

Chevy Chase of NBC’s Community recently stopped by the Grove to talk to Mario Lopez of Extra about life.

At one point Mario asked Chevy who his celebrity crush was.

Joan Collins Still Looking Hot, Calls Mario Lopez “Cute, But Not Beautiful!” – EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS & VIDEO

Joan Collins you are still a beautiful naughty woman! And we love you for it!

With an acting career spanning over 50 years, the legendary British and ever-oh-so-glamorous-yet-so-devilish Joan Collins stopped by the Grove in Los Angeles to have a chat with Mario Lopez of Extra.

Best known to American audiences as the vixen Alexis Colby in the long-running ABC television series Dynasty, as well as being a favorite of Star Trek fans for her appearance as Edith Keeler in the Star Trek episode “The City on the Edge of Forever”, Ms. Collins looked just as beautiful to me as she did in the 80’s.

Joan walked onto the Extra set in a stunning off-white coat, off-white dress, off-white cap, off-white gloves and off-white shoes, making all heads turn. She has an undeniable presence. Even fellow-Brit Simon Cowell would admit that Joan has the “It Factor!”

On her recent role playing David Spade’s mom on CBS’ Rules of Engagement:
“The description of her is ‘dripping in jewels, and slightly crazy.’ So I said, I can do that!”

On her upcoming one-woman show in NYC, One Night with Joan
“It’s a series of outrageous stories about Richard Burton, Bette Davis, Paul Newman and the Dynasty cast of course. Everybody.” [Show plays @ NYC’s Feinstein’s at Loews Regency Ballroom, November 16-27.]
On whether she had to ever do the casting couch:
“I was asked but never did and never would and no one else should!”
On the most beautiful celeb she ever met:
“Ava Gardner.”
On the controversy of her calling Jennifer Aniston “cute” but not “beautiful”:
“I was given a list to pick from on who I thought was cute and who I thought was beautiful and I said Sandra Bullock, Kate Hudson and Jennifer are cute. [Then she turned to Mario and said by way of example:] Your’re cute; you’re not beautiful! But you’re cute.”

Watch the video of Joan talking about her “most embarrassing moment”:

Here is a quick video of Mario Lopez and Brook Burke dancing:

Cast of NBC’s Newest Comedy “Outsourced” Surprises With Gag Gifts! EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS & VIDEO

The cast of NBC’s newest comedy, Outsourced, Ben Rappaport (Todd Dempsy), Diedrich Bader (Charlie Davis, also OfficeSpace, Napoleon Dynamite), Parvesh Cheena (Gupta, also Barbershop), Pippa Black (Tonya, also Neighbours), and Rebecca Hazlewood (Asha, also Doctors), was at The Grove today, bringing gag gifts for Mario Lopez, host of Extra.

Outsourced is about the call center team located in India for the fictitious Mid America Novelties catalog-based company. The company sells novelty and gag gifts, which of course was the reason why Mario Lopez received such gifts as the toilet mug, fake throw up, and a rubber chicken from the cast.

Watch the video below and the full interview on Extra airing later to see the gag gifts.

I admit I love this show and find the relationships between the characters quite charming, despite the hot current touchy topic of outsourcing US jobs overseas.  It was a thrill that I happened to meet the cast and ride into the Extra set with them on the trolley serving The Grove (see video below). The cast all seem to be having a lot of fun both on and off the set and were extremely cool when it came time to taking their time meeting fans and taking pictures.  Outsourced airs on NBC, Thursday nights at 9:30/8:30C PM.
The Cast of Outsourced rolled into the interview on a trolley! Watch:


The Cast brought some of their famous gag gifts for Mario, such as a toilet mug and a rubber chicken! Watch:

Good Charlotte’s Benji And Joel Madden Sing Acoustic Song – EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS & VIDEO

Good Charlotte brothers Joel and Benji Madden were at The Grove Tuesday to promote their brand new album, Cardiology, which was released on the same day. They stopped by Extra and Mario Lopez, and you can catch that interview soon on Extra.

Describing the sound of the new album to MTV News, Joel Madden said it would sound a lot like Blink-182. Joel Madden went on to say in the same MTV interview that “There’s nothing dance-y on the record, though, at all, which is different from our last one,” further implying a movement away from the sound of Good Morning Revival.

Joel Madden is engaged to Nicole Richie and the two have two children together. It appears that being a parent has affected the music on Cardiology.  Joel told PopEater: “[There’s] a song that I wrote for my daughter called ‘Harlow’s Song,’ and it was originally like a lullaby, and then [Benji] heard it and really liked it, and the guys heard it and they all liked it.  I’ve never written a song like that. It was pretty interesting. It’s like a straight love song for somebody. It’s a lullaby, and it ended up being on the record. I’ve never really had the ability to write songs like that. So I guess my life has changed a lot. “

Here they are performing their first single off of Cardiology, Like It’s Her Birthday:
