     so I’m not surprised, but she certainly is spreading herself thin in her appearances of late.  Don’t know how she does it, but I still enjoy watching her outside of DOOL.

    I thought it was actually a good interview, and they even talked about Days some, she asked her whatwas her most embarrassing moment on days  she said something about how she was in a restaurant and was acting like spoiled Sami, and she had to lean over and put her boobs in her spaghetti, and say something like oh no my boobs are in my spaghetti!

    she seems to be "on script" trying so hard that it seems forced and she’s always got this nervous kind of laugh/giggle.  She never seems comfortable as herself.

    do the kinds of things you mentioned Luckey, I for one am seeing tooooooooo much of her on T.V., every time I swtich the channel it seems, "there she is".  Alison should be told by her press and publicity person that there is sometimes too much of a good thing, not booking her so much.  Lay low for awhile and spread her appearances out a bit more.  Perhaps though, she is making hay (i.e., money) while the sun shines though…(I’m a Libra – (if I believed in that stuff) – I do try to see both sides of the fence/story).

     schedule on Facebook.  I don’t know how she did it! She taped a Days’ show, flew to NY, did a few days (of interviews/promos/a fashion show and met friends) from early morning (5:30?6?) until 11pm or later and then flew back to CA to do Biggest Loser show.  Recently she was in New Zealand with Bob and Jillian so I’d guess it’s another Biggest Loser thing.  That is a lot of traveling away from her family but the money must be worth it.  I wonder if she’s trying to get herself out there in case Days doesn’t continue?  Or she’s saving money now for her kids’ college education? :-)  She must have phenomenal energy is all I can say!

    She also has posted that her family is with her on the New Zealand/Australia trip for Biggest Loser.  There are photos too.

    she’s on the Nate Show promoting her book. I thought she did great on the show. She seemed very comfortable and at ease.

    every time I’ve seen her interviewed.  Either she has an excellent agent/publicist or she is just a natural talent (which I’m inclined to believe).  I can’t help but think she’ll go far.  But then, there’s thousands of waiters and waitresses in LA who feel the same way about themselves.

    I’m getting very tired of seeing Allison. She is on overkill.  She’s reminding me of another "mother" who has been on magazine covers, talk shows, DWTS, and other media sights.  It’s bad enough that she is on DOOL so much.  I really wonder how much time she now spends with her own children.  She seems to be making herself visible at every opportunity.

    without a commercial, special, or interview.  I think Jason47 had the "most-in" scenes list a while back and I’m sure Ali tops the list in recent years.  I’m sure she has a clause in her contract about her time off and such to spend with her family, seeing how she is the golden child of Mr. Corday.  It must be very difficult otherwise trying to raise children, keep a family together, keep that kind of pace and schedule and travel without some kind of help.

    I really do wonder how many actresses/actors do their parenting "by nanny"?  Or do they just have a very good publicity dept. to show Joe Q. Public that they are mom/dad of the year?  Heh, it’s happened a zillion times in Hollyweird – look at all the kids over the years with show biz parents that have turned out on drugs, robbed stores, or other strange things because of mummy or da being absentee parents while the children were growing up. 

    Just because we think we know an actress (or actor) because they happen to be on our t.v. sets 200 or so times a year, doesn’t mean we (fans) really know someone or what does or does not happen in their day to day life or if they were a good parent.  In the 50’s Joan Crawford was the ideal parent or so the world thought, and we all know how that turned out!  "No more wire hangers!"

    because she’s pushing her new book.  That’s pretty normal for someone who writes a book, to go on all the talk shows and make as many appearances as they can to sell it.

     husband in New Zealand now along with the Biggest Loser bunch. They are filming there. She tweeted about their being okay and the earthquake there.  I think she is very energetic and maybe with her husband’s job, he has time to spend with the kids while she works.  Plus, the BL tapes at night when they’d be in bed from what she has posted.

    how would that career allow him time off to travel with her?

    depending on how long he is on the force (after 1 year) you can accumualte 640 cap* hours of ALP (personal and SL leave combined to take anyway you want to), including plus 12 holidays, plus state sanctioned days off.  

    If he was hired before 2000, he could accumulate, 640 cap total hours of vacation and (8 hours a month) – unlimited sick leave (so say a career of about 20 years could net you 2,000+ of paid SL), plus 12 holidays, plus state sanctioned days off (personal holidays, etc.)…all of which is full pay and benefits (*Cap hours that isn’t the max you can have but the amount you have to rollover to the next year, you can get a total of say for example only 890 hours vacation, but Jan. 1, you are suppose to have it back down to the 640 cap number but some don’t – so they have a 1,000 hours of vacation/annual leave time accumulated and figure a salary of  $33 per hour X that is $11Kish they are suppose to "cash out"! 

    Just a nice little Christmas bonus from the taxpayers eh??? every single year!!!!  –  and you wonder why the Golden state (and all these other states) are going to need federal taxpayer bailout money from out of your pocket!??!!!
