Bitcoins are not a real investment; they are bets inside a casino. If the price goes back up, don't be fooled.

I was on 'Desperate Housewives' and that was my crash course on being on national television topless. Also, I do what I can in between scenes: push-ups, a little free weights. I knew going in it would be a big part of the show.
