1. Who has been your favorite Spread guest to date and why did you find them so interesting?
Everyone has been totally different. I love the train wreck style of the Bridgette Nielsen interview, but then having good friends such as Billy and Circus Diablo is killer too. I guess if I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be either Liam Sullivan or Sad Kermit, primarily because these are artists we just found on the Internet and having them realized as guests was pretty rad. The cutter and Tabitha Stevens were great up close and personal guests too. I suppose in the end I can't really decide.
2. Would you ever consider doing a "dating" show like Bret Michaels is on VH1's Rock of Love?
I have been approached for a number of reality type things. I would say that a concept would have to be extremely different to peak my interest at this point, having done three seasons of reality TV.
3. Are you still intending to put out another solo album?
Yeah I am, but without a major label and a management company, other than The Spread Group... The company Larissa and I have started together. I still want to do more Panic shows as well and possibly get another record together. I don't know which will come first. As for anything solo, it would probably be a collection of self indulgent and artsy music, much like the original Spread recordings.
4. How's the plans going for getting the SE show in a "studio"? Any time frame?
We have already begun looking at some spaces for a permanent location to move into within the next couple of months. Once in, we will more than likely be doing more than one show a week and also begin producing other content for ManiaTV.com.
5. If you were a single girl and you hadn't had a date in 6 months and there were 2 married men chasing after you, what would you do?
Feel good and validated that you are being chased after. Everyone likes to be the object of another's desires. Beyond that... I would suggest you stay away from giving in at all costs. Nothing but pain and anguish can come from a dynamic like that for not only you, but for the wives as well.
6. Are you loosing desire to be primarily focused with set band, with specific members, or are you in a place where you'd rather musically "play the field"?
I have only lost that desire with the majors. Here is the deal, they spend all this money on videos, photo shoots, producers, studios, remixers, single mixers, art work and promotion etc... Then they throw a song at radio to see if it will stick. If it doesn't... You are pretty much dead at the label if you are a new band. Then, when you are ready to go on tour, you are told, "Well, we spent x amount on xyz, so there is no tour support to send you guys out." As a result of how things are working, or not, it's time to just focus on being creative in whatever capacity we can be. If that means playing the field, then so be it.

CFR Tonight
There are some new clips from last week's Spread Entertainment up featuring Alix Lambert and Jefree Star. The full episode will be up by Monday. Also, tonight is an all new Camp Freddy Radio (Indie 103.1 FM) from 6-8pm. With Billy on tour, I am more than likely going to be rolling solo so feel free to use the phones! I know it has been a while since I have requested a Sunday 10, but with not much going on, it is now a perfect time. Hit me with whatever. Next week is kind of out of control for me with an appearance on the Chelsea Handler show on Monday, SE on Thursday and a Camp Freddy gig on Friday. Sadly, the show is for an X-Games event and is not open to the public. The good news is that SE's own Todd Newman will be covering the event for a new clip for the show. He will be providing you with the best seat in the house. Yours! OK... Maybe second best!
Next week on Spread Entertainment: Godhead, Emmy Rossum and alien expert Brandon Scott.
Here is the Jackass piece that ran on the show two weeks ago:

CFR Tonight
New clips of this week's Spread Entertainment are up at ManiaTV featuring Rob Nelson, cutter Jennifer and Leslie Davis and a performance by The Start. Where have I been? Well, Todd and I went to Reno and Calgary this week, for a couple of dates. In Calgary I joined DJ Skribble for a live mash-up jam where we riffed on L.L. Cool J, Zeppelin, White Stripes, Pink Floyd, DMX, House of Pain, etc. Just a DJ and a guitar... It was a lot of fun and we will be doing more dates together in the near future. I will keep you posted. Then I spent two days doing some experimental filming, followed by our show on Thursday and a photo shoot on Friday. The week has finally quieted down with a simple Camp Freddy Radio tonight with Billy Morrison. He is back in town for the day after last night's Circus Diablo performance at the Roxy. The show was killer and those guys have really honed their skills while out on the Ozzfest tour.
Tech Report: I was given an iPhone from the people at ManiaTV as a gift. I know I had bashed it on CFR a couple of weeks ago, so I fired it up and decided to give it a really good look over. I gotta say, it is the most amazing piece of technology I have ever seen. The Internet is truly unbelievable as it is basically like having a tiny computer in your hand. I would venture to say that it is shocking how amazing it is. The video, iPod and camera are all super impressive too. My only complaints so far are these: The speaker phone is pretty unusable and the digital keyboard is really difficult to use compared to an actual keyboard. I am a huge texter and I pretty much use text only with the exception of about three or four numbers. Also, the e-mail isn't instant as it is with the Blackberry... The iPhone has to go "check" for e-mail based on your setting. I am sure the next generation of these phones will be insane... But for now, it has ended up in the dock, looking pretty and is more of a novelty that I pull out when someone comes over.

Weekend Update
Let's see... What's the latest? Well, new clips of this week's Spread Entertainment are up at ManiaTV featuring Dita Von Teese, human rights activist Nazanin and a highlight reel from the Captivity premiere. Also, last week's show with Andy Dick and Circus Diablo is up in it's entirety. This weekend Todd, Riss and I are traveling with a stop for a party at Nikki Beach in Reno tonight and a Calgary date on Sunday. With Billy on the road and my weekend booked, tonight's Camp Freddy Radio will be a repeat. On Sunday night at Tantra in Calgary, I will be joining DJ Skribble for a few moments during his set to do some live mash ups, guitar in hand. Should be a good time. I know I have been away for quite some time here on the old Internet, but sometimes, you got to just take a break from it. Next week is super busy as I am working through most of it but I'll do my best to stay a little more connected. Have a killer weekend!

New Stuff
Happy late 4th of July! Hope you all had a great holiday... Me? I had a really nice day hanging out at the beach. In the world of Spread Entertainment, last week's show with Tabitha Stevens, Leslie Davis and Belinda Bently is now up at ManiaTV. Later today we will have clips up of yesterday's show with Andy Dick and Billy Morrison's Circus Diablo. Andy was a great guest because he is totally open about his life and experiences while being funny as hell and Diablo did a killer live version of their new single, Loaded. After eight weeks of shows, yesterday's has to be my favorite so far. After our broadcast I went up to Tom Green's house and was a guest on his show. I don't know when he will have it up but I am sure it'll get put into rotation soon. It's always a blast over there. Here is the full length version of the EroticaLA piece that ran on the show:
