The sandwich company follows other advertisers on the run, including Taco Bell, H&R Block, GM and Wrigley.

Poison frontman Bret Michaels is blogging about his "Celebrity Apprentice" experience on Fancast.com.

"My first day there didn't go well because I ran on rocker time," Michaels writes. "Let's just say that Donald Trump time and Bret Michaels time are two different time zones."

Okay,it's freezing up here at Sundance... the stars are hot, but the temps are very, very cold... In fact, so cold, that the festival people have moved most of the premiere lines inside. So far, the highlights have been Colin Farrell, who's back in the spotlight after taking a long and planned break out of the spotlight. His hair's longer (he says it's laziness) and grayer (he says he's going to let it go gray au natural)... and he's very funny in his new movie "In Bruges" -- who knew Colin could do comedy??

The other Colin up here in Park City is Hanks, and yes, his famous Dad produced and has a small role in Colin's starring vehicle with John Malcovich "The Great Buck Howard" -- Colin and Tom were loose and funny and fun, despite their nerves working with each other playing father and son. They have a contentious relationship in the movie, and Tom told me, they never have in real life, which made it a stretch to play on screen. More later... have to interview Jack Black in a second here.

Hey there... this'll be fun. Look at this as the "what you didn't or couldn't see on Extra" blog. I get to share so much more while I'm out and about interviewing actors for my job, and doing the red carpet thing. You get a good sense of it when you watch our show, but there's so much more that goes on, which hopefully I'll be able to share with you here ongoing. So, here goes....

Been a busy couple of days despite the cancellation of the Golden Globes. Spent Saturday morning with Diane Lane -- spectacular -- and not just because of her beauty -- but her brains, too. Smart lady. And truly in love with her man, Josh Brolin. So much so she's "this close" to saying she's going to retire, without actually retiring. She's going to scale back her work tremendously, though, to be a stay-at-home wife and Mom. She told me IF she used the word "retire" then of course, the greatest role of her lifetime would be offered (like a Scarlett O'Hara in 'Gone With the Wind') and then she'd be red-faced and have to come OUT of retirement... I've interviewed Diane before, and she's always, without question, an extreme pleasure. Never, ever any pretense.

So I ran into Lynne Lester, Senior Producer, at the Boom Boom Room Suite in L.A. She says "Hey, they just asked me if you want to present at the Golden Globes Press Conference. I need to know your answer in 5 minutes." It took me 5 seconds. I was like "Are you joking? Do you mean ACTUALLY PRESENT AN AWARD...like I would get the envelope and say and the Golden Globe goes to....." She said yes...so I said "hell yes."

The next 24 hours were ridiculous. Julie (our stylist on the show) and Kara (her assistant) worked 14 hours the next day to find the perfect outfit. It was tough because they wanted business attire with no boobs and no sparkle. Unfortunately, that is my entire hoochie wardrobe. They did find the perfect outfit...a BCBG dress with a white silk top and a black bottom. So at least that was done!

They had all of the entertainment hosts (there were five of us all together) get there at 2:00 for a rehearsal (and we actually started on time...that NEVER happens in Hollywood). Some people came camera ready and other came in casual clothes with no makeup. They immediately took all five of us out on stage and gave us mock envelopes. We each took our turn going through the nominees, practicing pronunciations and reading off the prompter. I had a lot of difficult names so I kept reading them over and over and over and over. They told us things were changing minute by minute but for now 60 countries were going to carry the press conference live as well as CNN, E!, TV Guide, and CBS. I wouldn't even let my mind go there...because I didn't want to get too nervous.

On March 19, 2007 we posted an article about a gag played on Carlos Diaz at an event in Las Vegas. The article described an incident during the event when a man representing himself as Adam Hall rushed onto the stage, instigated an argument and was then escorted away by police officers. We now have been informed by the real Adam Hall that the man on stage was part of the gag, and was not really Adam Hall. The real Adam Hall was not at the event and had nothing to do with the gag played on Carlos Diaz. We regret any misunderstanding that this may have caused.
