Has "American Idol" fever died down since the show ended?
"I think it's gone away. When the show is on, it's just a big hype, and as soon as it finishes ... it's dead."	"I don't think so. People still talk about it. Even before Jasmine and Camile were on it, I watched (the show)."	"It kind of died down. As long as they're not on the air they're not going to get as much attention."
What's your favorite cocktail?
"I have no clue! I don't drink alcohol at all. I'm not really into that kind of stuff."	"Long Island Iced Tea ... hard alcohol! If not, a margarita. I love margaritas."	"Cosmopolitan. I've lived in New York ... it was kind of a trendy thing. Duke's has a good one."
First there was MTV, then Food TV, and now Fashion TV. What's next?
"They have everything now -- I can't really think of anything. I guess Surfing TV. I would watch it."	"There should be a college network. Not too many people know what kind of activities are going on. That would be good."	"Random Violence TV. People love violence, and after a while they're going to get tired of seeing it ... in movies."
