It’s hard to believe that Bravo’s Inside the Actors Studio is set to celebrate its 250th episode tonight as it soldiers on during its incredible 19th year on TV. ITAS has made a legend out of its card-flipping, intrepid host James Lipton. I’ve always been a fan of Lipton’s as he approaches his craft with a wonderful combination of joy and austerity. Find out about Lipton’s genuine pimp past, his favorite interview from the show (including a seriously vintage clip of this person), and a great photo of the man with his wife of over 40 years as he states that marrying her was his greatest accomplishment.

38-year-old Bradley Cooper is People‘s Sexiest Man Alive, and is enjoying both critical and box office success in The Silver Linings Playbook, but he’s been chasing his dreams for a long time.

When he was 24-years-old Bradley worked as a doorman at the Morgan Hotel while getting his MFA from NYU’s drama school. He would hold the door people like Leonardo DiCaprio, who’s now one of his buddies. He also got the chance to ask Sean Penn a question on a 1999 episode of Inside The Actor’s Studio.
