As ultimately-whacked mob boss Phil Leotardo on The Sopranos, Frank Vincent put the bad in bada-bing.

And now he’s back on the Mafia map as aging hitman Lou Marazano in the new flick, Chicago Overcoat, which had its world premiere Oct. 10 at the Chicago International Film Festival.

Eh, Cumpare! Annie cozies up to Frank as hubby Burl looks on.

So who did Frank and his fellow goodfellas invite to swig Chianti and scarf antipasto with them post-private screening?

None other than our own Burl and Annie Gregory, hosts of the ever-popular Annie & Burl Live!

In addition to Frank, Annie and Burl rubbed elbows—and exchanged cheek pinches —with Read the rest of this entry »

If you want a slew of terrific celebrity interviews, as NaVell Lee knows, don’t wait for Moses to come to the mountain, bring the mountain to Moses.

And so, mic in hand, our Buzzworthy Radio host—and daytime-drama guru—did just that on Aug. 30 at the 36^th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.

Among the A-listers the dapper NaVell chatted with along the Orpheum Theater’s red carpet were:

Cameron Mathison (Ryan Lavery on All My Children), Colleen Zenk Pinter (Barbara Ryan on As The World Turns), and Daniel Goddard, Christel Khalil and Emily O’Brien (Cane Ashby, Lily Winters and Jana Hawkes Fisher on The Young and the Restless).

Captivated: Emily (right) listens intently as NaVell (far left) poses his questions. Then Daniel (l) and Christel (r) follow suit.

Opinionated: Cameron (l) and Colleen (r) get their answers on amidst the glitz and hubbub.

Zach: Lookin' sweet with Ali Lohan.

There’s just no stopping Zachary Sang.

In addition to reeling in great guests like Hannah Montana star Moises Arias, JONAS stars Chelsea Staub and Nicole Gale Anderson, Prom Night star Brittany Snow and Aquamarine star Sara Paxton each week, our WZAP Radio host has been busy this summer covering the hottest teen events in the New York City area.

Case in point: Earlier this month he made the scene at Mega Jam 2009, an eight-hour outdoor music festival Country Fair Entertainment Park in Long Island. Read the rest of this entry »

If Fruit Salad hosts Pauly and Marky are our undisputed Snaps! champs, Olivia Wilder is quickly coming up the rear.

In recent months, the Olivia Wilder Times host has buddied up to Titanic star Billy Zane and Chelsea Lately host Chelsea Handler.

"He came right up to me and gave me a big bear hug," Olivia (l) says of Curt (r).

And last week, at the Tears for Fears concert in Saratoga, Calif., she got cozy with frontman Curt Smith (who, incidentally, had appeared on her show one month earlier).

“He’s such a warm, friendly and genuinely nice guy,” Olivia tells us of the British rocker, best known for his 1985 hit Everybody Wants to Rule the World. “It was a great concert and wonderful time.”

How do Pauly and Marky find the time to sleep, or eat even - let alone do their ever-popular Fruit Salad show here on BlogTalkRadio?

Pauly (left) and Marky (right) go retro '80s with the granddaddy of fitness gurus himself.

Every time we turn around, the boys are busy chatting or otherwise hobnobbing with famous faces galore.

In recent months alone they’ve been snapped with Liza Minelli, Danny DeVito, Dolly Parton, Adam Lambert, Ricki Lake, Margaret Cho, Marie Osmond, Lynda Carter, Haylie Duff, Deborah Gibson, Florence Henderson, T.R. Knight and - well, suffice it to say these guys get around big-time.

Their latest score?  Sweatin’ to the oldies this week with Richard Simmons in his L.A. studio.

In yet another show of his star-mingling prowess, Fruit Salad host Pauly got up close and personal with celebrity pals this week at a Repeal Proposition 8 rally in West Hollywood.

The controversial prop, of course, bans gay marriage in California.

Yet despite Pauly & Co.’s admirable efforts, the state’s Supreme Court – in response to numerous lawsuits – upheld the amendment on May 26.

Celestial smiles: Pauly hangs with Haylie Duff..

…pop star Deborah Gibson and activist Calpernia Addams…

…and Oscar-nominated actress Sally Kirkland.

In what may be BlogTalkRadio’s greatest Snaps-coup yet, our very own Brett Cohen sidled up to Jimmy Fallon on NBC’s Late Night for a photo op seen ‘round the world (or at least by the funnyman’s more than 1 million viewers).

Brett gets his question from Jimmy...

On Memorial Day, Brett dropped in on Jimmy’s show to return a favor from two months earlier – when Jimmy dropped in on Brett’s show, World Talk Live!

...then macks it up for his would-be date...

His task? Playing Bachelor No. 1 in a mock-Dating Game bit called Smooth Operator.

And though he didn’t win, Brett did earn praise from Jimmy for his smooth delivery to the lovely bachelorette – and for his distinctive dance move.

...before drinking in the applause as his fellow bachelors look on.

“He’s a down-to-earth, gracious and personable guy,” Brett tells us of Jimmy.

“I was impressed how he took time out before his show to chat with me.”

There’s no question as to which American Idol finalist our Fruit Salad hosts will be rooting for tonight when the mega-hit reality series picks its Season Eight winner: Kris Allen or Adam Lambert.

Adam (left) with Pauly recently at Mark's restaurant in West Hollywood.

Hands down, it’s the flamboyant Adam that Pauly’s got his money on.

“Adam is an unbelievable talent,” Pauly tells us. “I don’t think we’ve ever seen someone of his caliber in our generation. He’s reminiscent of David Bowie, Freddy Mercury and Steve Perry all rolled into one hot package.”

Meanwhile, hot new boy band Varsity Fanclub tells us they, too, have their fingers crossed for Adam – and that they’ve chilled with his beau.

“We hung out with him a couple of weeks ago out here in L.A.  So we gotta choose Adam,” VFC frontman David Brandt tells WZAP Radio host Zachary Sang.

“Did you meet his boyfriend?” asks the incorrigible Zach.

“He’s a cool dude,” David (center) tells us of Adam.

“We definitely saw him. We were at the ‘Do, which is an awesome club. And they were definitely hangin’ out in the corner… in a booth.”

The live season finale of American Idol gets under way tonight at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.

Heads up, Pauly, Olivia Wilder’s moving in on your snaps action - and with a bona fide screen idol to boot!

At the Phoenix Film Festival in (where else?) Phoenix, Ariz., last week, the Olivia Wilder Times host chilled with Billy Zane.

"I almost broke the camera, but Billy looked great," Olivia tells us of this pic.

Billy of course played Cal Hockley in the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, which earned a whopping $1.85 billion at the box office, making it the high- est-grossing film of all time.

And next month he’ll be seen opposite Amy Smart in a new swing- dance flick called Love N’ Dancing.

"He's also an inspirational speaker and has just written a new book," she says of new pal Tom.

The writer of that project, Tom Malloy, whom you know from his on- camera work on Law & Order-SVU, also stars in the movie. So Olivia didn’t waste any time cozying up to him, either.

In fact, she made such a good impression on Tom that he’ll be appear- ing on her show Friday, April 24.

Nice going, O!

Our Fruit Salad hosts have been busy rubbing elbows with the stars – and (as always) they’ve got the pics to prove it.

This time it’s the ever-loveable Danny DeVito, Ricki Lake and Florence Henderson whom hosts Pauly and Marky snared into their viewfinder.
