One of my favorite kids, 8-year-old singing sensation, ANTHONY GARGIULA is back to wow us with his incredible voice and poise. We first saw his amazing singing on YouTube, then he showed us his incredible song stylings in person, now he’s back! Then, speaking of an incredible voice and poise... she's been nominated for 26 Grammy awards and has sold over 40 million records, the "Queen of Hip Hop Soul" and one of my all time favorites, MARY J. BLIGE will be my guest and give us all the gift of performing a song from her fantastic CD, "Growing Pains." Plus, she was so much fun as one of our game contestants that we had to have KIM FLEMMING back. She won a $5,000 AMEX gift card, and now Kim's going to tell us about the marvelous things she bought with it!

On Tuesday’s show, a very special girl will join me. At the tender age of 10, COURTNEY OLIVER is already a Veterinary Assistant in Olympia, Washington. Guess you could call her "Doggie Howser." We'll talk about her vet ambitions, and how she overcame her squeamishness during operations. Plus, he plays an unscrupulous con man on one of the greatest daytime dramas ever, "All My Children." He also played a hunky dancer on “Dancing with the Stars.” The very handsome, CAMERON MATHISON will join me, and maybe we can get him to take off his shirt. Plus, KYM DOUGLAS is back with some off-the-wall yet fantastic beauty and health tips!

KIMBERLEY LOCKE

We’re serving up a side of weight loss on Friday’s show! First, she’s lost 40 pounds since she was on “American Idol,” now KIMBERLEY LOCKE will join me and talk about how and why she did it. Then, we’ll talk to SHARLA PINCOCK and COURTNEY DAWSON, who were on the cover of People magazine, and are truly inspirational. They each lost half their body weight, and together they lost a total of 321 pounds! You have to see their amazing transformation with your own eyes! My next guest is going to show us how to tighten up our stomachs without doing sit-ups! SHAUN T. is here with his “Hip Hop Abs” workout. Plus, a truly inspiring 6-year-old boy, CODY McCASLAND from Dallas, will join me. Cody is a double amputee who finished a marathon to benefit the hospital he's been attending since birth. Just wait until you see this incredibly brave little kid and hear his amazing story. Then, we surprised JILL DEANE and her family in Portland, Connecticut with all the gifts from my 12 Days of Giveaways. Now Jill joins me to talk about her lucky holiday and to tell us if she's found room for all that stuff!
