The book is called 'Most Talkative,' because I was voted most talkative in high school. And I've never stopped talking. My mouth has been my greatest asset and my biggest Achilles' heel.

I started working at Bravo in 2005, when I was offered a job by Lauren Zalaznick, the network's chairman. She encouraged me to start a blog. I wrote behind-the-scenes gossip about 'Battle of the Network Reality Stars,' the first show I took on as head of current programming.

I think when you're live on TV in an unscripted environment a lot slips through the cracks of your real self. People can read my face, they know what I'm thinking.

St. Louis has a lot of weird food customs that you don't see other places - and a lot of great ethnic neighborhoods. There's a German neighborhood. A great old school Italian neighborhood, with toasted ravioli, which seems to be a St. Louis tradition. And they love provolone cheese in St. Louis.

I've really hung in there with my BlackBerry. The main reason I like it better than an iPhone is that I can type better. I saw Rachel Zoe using a white one and I was jealous. The risk, of course, is that it could look like a Lady BIC. I've just learned to own it though.

I work out at Will Space four times a week. It's a private training gym. It's owned by my trainer, Will Torres. I just came from there, actually. I turned Mark Consuelos onto Will, so he goes there too. Today we boxed. It's every kind of cross-training you can do.

Dinner 'conversation' at the Cohens' meant my sister, mom, and I relaying in brutal detail the day's events in a state of amplified hysteria, while my father listened to his own smooth jazz station in his head.

She expressed her condolences on the post … I would not call that exploiting a tragedy, what was she supposed to do? Say something bad? I don’t understand.

I had a black dot on my bottom lip and you and Iwere at a party for Anderson’s [Cooper] mom in April, and you said, ‘You have a black dot on your lip, I don’t think that’s something good,' it was melanoma and they removed it, and I just want to thank you because you were so dogmatic.

I am tanorexic, Ilove the sun. And I of course never thought that kind of thing would happen to me, and it will change my relationship to the sun.

When I was working at Trio, I was pitched 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy' and I knew, whoever gets this, this is a game changer. When I started at Bravo in 2005, it was a hit, and Season 1 of 'Project Runway' was in postproduction.

I'd like to think, that were he alive today, Warhol would be pain... by Andy Cohen

I'd like to think, that were he alive today, Warhol would be painting the Housewives.

I have a Viking stove. The color is butter lemon, and I had to wait several months for it, because that color wasn't available and I really wanted butter lemon! But I don't know that it's seriously ever been cooked on. I mean, I make tea every morning. Does that count?

We are interviewing multiple groups of friends. So certainly if Eboni is interested and has friends that would meet our casting goals, then of course they would be considered.

I feel like we want to get the cast right, we just want to get it right. So that's the focus right now. I don't want to back into a production date. Because I want this to succeed ; it's too important to too many people.

The only thing that I regret saying, the only thing is that I slammed the ABC broadcast and I really likeRyan Seacrest and he's a great guy and I really regret saying that, and I was just stupid and drunk and feeling it. And it was… I was continuing the Journey rant and I just kept talking and I shouldn't have, and I… I felt bad about that. So that is the only thing. It's the only thing.

There's a bunch of smoke coming from Ryan Seacrest's group of losers that are performing behind us, i mean, with all due — if you’ve been watching ABC tonight, you’ve seen nothing. I’m sorry, but it's true.
