Are You a Wheel Watcher?



The DallasChild/FortWorthChild offices are a hotbed for celebrity interviews right now! Shelley’s got Brett Paesel (see her blog entry “Scored an interview with…” for the scoop), our editorial intern, Megan Weadock, just chatted with Andie MacDowell about what it’s like being a mom AND a feathered friend in the new kid flick Barnyard (grab the August issue on stands now to read all about it) and I’ll be meeting up with everyone’s favorite gameshow mega-couple Pat Sajak and Vanna White when Wheel of Fortune rolls into town next weekend.

The Wheel will be taking over NOKIA Theatre in Grand Prairie to film three weeks worth of themed shows in three days, including Best Friends Week, North Texas Week and Family Week. And in between takes, I’m hoping to get Pat and Vanna to spill the beans on their personal parenting philosophies (they each have two kiddos), what it’s like working on the No. 1 program in the history of syndicated television and how they each successfully blend the aspects of both.

Plus, if I play my cards, um, spin the wheel just right maybe I can get Vanna to dish on her secrets to staying thin and entice Pat to share his staying-young/looking-young tricks of the trade (his 60th B-Day is coming up in 2 months!!).

I’ll be heading to the Wheel with our art director, Laura, next Sunday, so if you’d like to see any particular questions posed or want to send a few birthday greetings, just shoot me an email!

much love~

P.S. If you’d like info on attending one of next week’s tapings, contact CBS 11. Oh, and be sure to check out what Pat and Vanna had to say in our November issue!
