In TNT’s new TV movie, A Perfect Day, Rob Lowe plays a writer loses sight of the more important things in life due to fame. After speaking with him live via teleconference call, we discovered that, clearly, he does not have this problem. Here's what Rob had to say about fame, politics, and his favorite TV show - Wonder Showzen.

Survivor: Cook Islands
Title: “I Have the Advantage... For Once”
First Aired: 12/14/06

Sex appeal on previous Survivor shows has always been a wee bit challenging. It’s hard to look crazy hot when you’re crusty, starving, and covered in jungle goo. Aside from Candice and Adam’s canoodling, this year’s Survivor: Cook Islands hasn’t exactly been an aphrodisiac. This week, however, Miss Parvati turned on her girlish charm, targeting Ozzy. Would her eyelash-batting save her butt?
