Chelsea “Barbie” Taylor

KP: Who is your current celeb crush?
CT: Ohhh too many to count! Well clearly at the head of the list is that tasty treat Tommy Holland, especially in that series where he is half spider / half boy man…now that’s cinema. Michael B! Jordan and yes that B is in caps and has an exclamation point because he is a BABE and is always on POINT!!! Oh and Chris Evans, in or out of that winter sweater he wore that kind of made him look like that dad from Home Improvement that was also sometimes Santa Claus but in a way hot way. Yeah he’s on the list too!

KP: Best book you have read?
CT: Ohh that is a tie. “Confessions of an Heiress” by Paris Hilton, like not only gives me personal strength but is also dishy af and then “Great Expectations” by Dickens. Mainly just for the book cover tho…it inspired me to do my bathroom in TEAL. Chic for dayyyyyyyys babe! Ha!

KP: Quote you live by?
CT: “I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?” said by the living legend that is Gab Gab Union (a close friend ps) in that movie that was half about Shakespeare and half about hair care!

Gammy Tay

KP: Favorite Perfume?
GT: WHITE DIAMONDS by Elizabeth Taylor – though I only use it for a dab behind each ear and maybe a drip in my private areas. The rest of my scent is all me and let me tell you it has enticed men, women, heads of state and even half of congregation at an Easter service back in 1972!

KP: Favorite song?
GT: That is a private affair but I will share with you my favorite album to make love to. That would be “FRESH” by Sly and the Family Stone. Nothing like a little music with some KICK to get your legs in the air, your panties on the floor and your inhibition’s out the door!

Miranda Taylor

KP: What is your favorite city to visit?
MT: As long as there is strong wifi and a stocked bar with a steady handed bartender I can be happy anywhere. When you run an empire you don’t take “vacations”….you take CONTENT SUMITS. That’s a little trick I am giving to you. For FREE mind you.
Also the Maldives can be quite nice for up to 48 hours especially without children.

KP: Who is your inspiration?
MT: Myself. I inspire ME. I took a family of light to less than medium talent and built an entire empire. MY reach is endless. We have podcasts, limited edition lunch-boxes for sale on Amazon (only $49.99+ tax and shipping!), a new fresh wet wipes line called “CLEAN BITS, an animated series about our pet fish on Roku Originals called “Life in a WATER CAGE” and of course makeup! We do it all, and by we I do in fact mean ME. So yes, I inspire myself and then some.

Rick Taylor

KP: You have starred in over 65 VOD films and over 11 made for TV Hallmark movies. Who is your favorite co-star?
RT: Now that’s a question that is hard to answer. I have worked with the BEST. Dame Judi Dench in the ARBOR DAY classic, “The Perfect Branch” available now on most international flights, she was a GEM. Donnie Walhlberg in “The Second Perfect Storm” a rather overlooked TNT digital short and he was just a joy to spend time with. But I supposed the best would have to be FLIPPER. We starred in a summer limited series for SyFy channel called “KILLER FINS” and that fish was just F.U.N.

KP: Who inspires you most?
RT: Mr. Samuel L. Jackson. I don’t know if you sat through a little film called DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE but the range of that man! To put up with Bruce Willis’ sh$t and still have a will to live. That inspires ME.

Lil’ Thad

We tried for several weeks to get a hold of Lil’ Thad Taylor who is promoting his latest single “Cheese on my biscuit, cheese on my di$K” on a paid appearance tour of bowling alley’s across the southwest of the United States.
He finally responded with a one word answer to our questions.
“NOPE”
