The sexy actress gets some dramatic scenes and a little romance as the spunky nanny who triesto bring a troubled family together. Leaving her usual glam look behind, the actress admits sheenjoyed the no-fuss role.
Q: You're sexy even when you play kind, dedicated and spunky, but this part sure willsurprise your fans who love you playing the hot gal.
A: It's true that people think of me as the kind of characters I've played. But everyone whoknows me in my own life calls me the librarian because I'm very nerdy. I read a lot. And I neverwatch TV. I hardly go to the movies. And I dress really conservatively, like a librarian.When Iread this story I thought, 'Wow, I'd love to be able to play a girl like this who I just have somuch admiration for.' And by the way, who's so graceful in the face of adversity.
Q: I'm willing to bet that there was a huge debate about whether to have you wear glassesfor most of the show.
A: I love that you knew that. Everyone except the director gave me a huge fight about theglasses. And the funniest thing is that they are my own glasses that I wear in real life. I'venever worn them on camera because I've always liked the fact that when I pull my hair back anddon't put on any make-up, the glasses give me sort of a separate personal life. For the movie mycharacter wouldn't even have enough money to buy contact lenses.
Q: And we know you love kids, the last time I saw you with your son Kassius, he was playingthe slot machines on the Las Vegas set.
A: Oh yeah, he's six now and for years he was king of that set. Once when we actually visitedVegas I had to explain to him that he couldn't go in the real casinos because they didn't allowchildren.
Q: His father is Brian Austin Green and though you two never married and you're in along-time relationship with another man, Brian still has a wonderful relationship withKassius.
A: He loves his dad. They play video games together and once, when Brian guested on Las Vegas, Kassius was on the set and we took lots of pictures. Both his father and Iagree, though, that he has to finish college before we'd even think about letting him become anactor.
Q: So are you getting ready for your Las Vegas co-star Josh Duhamel and Fergie's wedding? Are you teasing him aboutit?
A: I tease Josh about everything all of the time. He and I have a brother/sister dynamic witheach other. Because Stacy is so lovely I tease him about how the hell did he get anyone to committo marrying him. When we worked together all these women would just go crazy over him and I'd haveto rib on him that I would tell that he farts under the covers on the set and stuff like that.
Q: Can you imagine him married to Stacy (who the rest of us all call Fergie)?
A: Oh, yeah. Jokes aside, he's such a lovely down-home country boy, really. I've always saidabout Josh, that he's the most humble lead I've ever worked with on a show. He is always focusedand passionate and wants everyone to be good. Stacy guested on the show and we all met hertogether. We just added her to the family and he got serious.
