Traffic is one of the most powerful films to come out in recent years. It blew me away.

Macauley Culkin was on the show a lot. Or Haley Joe Osment.

In a lot of cases, as in Tom and Nicole's case, the tabloids were about to break the story, so they said just let the news out. And they called organizations such as ours.

Many have been with the show for years, and they have sources in the business, so we do know things, but until it is verified, we don't run with the story.

Survivor has been such a hit, and out of that have come so many interesting stories from people that we don't see on the big screen. We have helped make them incredible celebrities.

When you look at what we spend on entertainment, whether it's on CDs, music, DVDs, there is so much money invested in that, people want to know a little more about the stars they're paying to see or hear.
