6/8 - Meg Cabot, Judy Tenuta, Steve Zim, Robert Goldman,

Meg Cabot - "Insatiable"
There’s a killer loose in Manhattan. He’s leaving young women drained of all their blood.  Some are starting to whisper he may not even be human.  It’s inescapable. Vampires have reclaimed popular culture in the last two years. Every decade or so, these supernatural creatures expand their popularity beyond the core audience that consumes the literature and films that are ever-present and find themselves at the center of Hollywood’s spotlight. MEG CABOT is the author of over 20 series and novels for both adults and teens selling fifteen million copies worldwide, many of which have been bestsellers, most notably The Princess Dairies series (which is currently being published in over 38 countries, has sold over five million worldwide and was made into two hit movies by Disney.) Meg also wrote two All-American Girl books and the chick lit series called Queen of Babble, about a young woman who talks too much. Now with her new novel Insatiable, Cabot has a subject she can really sink her teeth into: vampires!

Judy Tenuta - Comedian
Judy Tenuta is the most famous person who has ever lived...and if you don't believe it, just ask her.

The self-described "Love Goddess" and "Aphrodite of the Accordion" has made hundreds of guest and co-hosting appearances on such popular TV shows as "The View", "Late Night with David Letterman", "Larry King Live", "Entertainment Tonight", and "Comics Unleashed".  Judy's stand-up routine is appropriately described as outrageous, mind-blowing comedy. She recently became an ordained minister, and converts her audiences to her signature religion, "Judyism". A strong advocate for gays, children and women's issues, the fun-loving feminist preaches that all women should be worshipped as "Love Goddesses!"   Some of Judy's roles include: an ex-show girl turned wedding chaplain on General Hospital, a snobby judge on "Corey in the House" and a featured role in the teen comedy hit, "Material Girls", starring Hillary and Haley Duff and directed by Martha Coolidge. Judy also produced and starred in her own film, "Desperation Boulevard" about a former child star who stops at nothing to make a comeback.
