“BeBe, dahling! Of course it's Dolce and Gabbana – I just looooove what those two boys do!”
“That is a beautiful cross you're wearing. Harry Winston?”
“You do know your jewelry, Be! Yes, this is my lucky charm. I wear it to all the award shows. Maybe I will win this evening.”
“Well, the best of luck to you Betty! Who is this coming up the red carpet? It's that constantly morphing diva we all love to hate – LaDonna! Her latest album is number one across the nation and around the world. Not only can she sing but boy, can she dress! She is stunning in a washed velvet dress of deep lavender by Calvin Klein. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! LaDonna! So good to see you here at GLAMA-DRAMA 2006.”
“Thank you. It's always a real treat for me as well. I enjoy touring but sometimes it's nice to sit down once in a while.”
“I can't help but notice that you are wearing a crucifix. Don't you practice Kabbalahism?”
“Yes, Kabbalahism is the essence of true spirituality. I just wear this because I think it's sexy. Come on, it has a naked man on it! Gotta go!”
“Wow! I just love her! She is so cool with her deep understanding of spiritual things. What do I spy with my little eye? Or should I say who? She's a rising star in Hollywood but she may be the star this evening wearing a periwinkle blue, floor length Vera Wang. Intensely private, will she stop and shoot the breeze? Dreama! Dreama Jones! Gotta minute?”
“Hi! How are you? Isn't this crazy? I can't believe how many people are here this evening.”
“Dreama, you look simply divine in that Vera Wang. This is your first time at GLAMA-DRAMA and I put my vote in right now that you will top Mr. Blackwell's list!”
“Thank you! That is so sweet of you to say!”
“I can't help noticing that, like so many other celebrities, you are wearing a cross as part of your jewelry this evening. What does it mean to you?”
“What does it mean to me? Well, I would have to say that it reminds me of who I am and Who I belong to.”
“Who you belong to?”
“Yes. See, I was a sinner in need of a Savior and Jesus died on a cross for my sins so that I could have a right relationship with God.”
“Oh....right. Well, um...so you don't wear it for luck or for fun...you wear it...”
“Because it reminds me of who I am...”
“Er...hmm...well it looks like it's time for a commercial break. Thanks for stopping by Dreama! Enjoy the rest of the evening. To all my viewers out there, I'll be right back with more interviews with your favorite stars as GLAMA-DRAMA 2006 continues. Don't touch that remote!!!”

What I might change - sometimes it was hard to read the many ooooo's on everything but I know you needed them. Also it was a little predictable - that can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how the ending goes. I think you cut to the point but what if the announcer had done something else than what we expected? Again - from a reader's viewpoint only!:)
