Chat With Carmen Electra, See The Cure

Carmen Electra is one of a kind: She's the only person that I can think of named "Carmen Electra." Otherwise, she's pretty standard: a busty lust object best known for scandalous marriages, "Baywatch" stardom and revealing bit roles in films. For Carmen, one of those films is "Scary Movie," the Wayans spoof on the recent teen horror craze. Chat with the Human Body on comedycentral.com at 7:30 p.m. EST, 6:30 p.m. CST, 4:30 p.m. PST.

It's decided: The Farrelly Brothers are awesome. They might have made my the man list if "Me Myself and Irene" had been a little better. They started the gross-out comedy craze with the stellar "There's Something About Mary," which also proved to be one of the sweeter movies of the year, and their "Dumb and Dumber" is one of the funnier movies in recent memory. Chat with Peter and Bobby today on msnbc.com at 12 noon EST, 11 a.m. CST, 9 a.m. PST, but submit questions any ol' time.

"Yo, Dre! Kick in the bass!" That's what I'm going to say to Dr. Dre when I become, like, real famous and go to parties and stuff, and he's there, and he's like, "Hey, I heard you were, like real famous," and then I say that. Heh. Dr. Dre is one of the most important figures in hip-hop history, perfecting a SoCal sound that was new, exciting, and truly distinct and divergent from the original New York rap template. He'll be chatting on chat.msn.com at 9 p.m. EST, 8 p.m. CST, 7 p.m. PST.

Like any good nerd, I love Monty Python. Perhaps the most enduringly charming of the bunch is Michael Palin, who spent most of his Python time inhabiting lesser-known characters, but has had a subsequent career that proves he's a genuinely nice, funny chap. You've seen him as K-K-K-K-Ken in "A Fish Called Wanda," but he's also done a breezy, fun PBS travel series called "Pole to Pole" and know a world tour around Ernest Hemingway's old haunts, in an effort to get into the mind of the old man's man, Chat with him about his experiences on bn.com at 1 p.m. EST, 12 noon CST, 10 a.m. PST.

Celebs Online Saturday and Sunday

The teenybop superstars of 'N Sync are a sensation, crooning their prepubescent-lookin' heads off for young swoon queens across our great nation. Their latest offering is "No Strings Attached," and you're guaranteed to get a big scream from your youngster if you come home with a copy in your hand.

See them talk to reporters this Saturday on ARTISTdirect.com at 1:30 p.m. EST, 12:30 p.m. CST, and 10:30 a.m. PST.

Like electronica? Well, it's the future, ladies and gents; any act not using computerized sounds of some sort are covering old ground at this point (not that there's anything wrong with that).
