She's very opinionated, very fun.  She's a gym teacher--and heterosexual, I might add.  It's just been such a great time.  I love that Kevin James.  I have a little thing for him.  My husband [Rob Sussman] knows about it--it's healthy.</div> <div> <B>You have lost more than 100 pounds from your weight high point.  Do you still get insecure about your body?</B>  I always want to lose more weight.  I always see the flaws.  But I'm trying to change that. I'm a mom.  I have a 3-year-old son, Milo, and I don't want him to hear me talk negatively about my body.  I fell like that's so unhealthy, so I try really hard to like what I see when I look in the mirror.</div> <div> <B>If you were to quit being an actor and a talk-show host, what would you do? Oh, there's no question.</B> I'd be a midwife.</div> <div> <B>A midwife?</B></div> <div> Oh yeah.  I used a midwife with my son, and in May I assisted for the first time at a birth.  I'm going to get my labor-support certification, and then I hope to go to school to become a midwife.  Natural childbirth is an incredible thing.</div> <div> <B>You said that when you got pregnant, you knew the day after; and when you met your husband, you fell in love at first sight.  Do you have some kind of witchy intuition?</B></div> <div> Oh, my God, I wish! Actually, a psychic did tell me I have abilities, but I don't know if I believe it.  I think there is such a thing as having an intuitive side.  I knew I was having a boy. I knew the second I saw my husband that I wuold marry him. He, of cource, knew that he would sleep with me. </div> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="0e76e960.jpg" border=0 width="110" height="150" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
