Sommers went on to star in lots of forgettable sitcoms and then wrote lots of books.  She is best known for selling the Suzanne Sommers Thighmaster which can be purchased at www.chrissysnow.com/slimthighs.

I’ve heard that compser Yo-Yo Ma travels with his own pillow, is this correct? Rebecca Q., Madison, WI

“I just love sleeping on a pillow that’s mine,” said the 55 year-old cellist.  “Since I travel so much while playing the cello, I sleep in lots of hotels.  It is wise to bring my own pillow.”  Ma will release a new CD entitled “’Ma Money, ‘Ma Problems” on August 31^st.
