Chat With Loretta Lynn, Everlast, R.L. Stine

OK, class calm, down, this is serious. Time to edu-ma-cate you on Loretta Lynn. Lynn ruled the country charts in the '60s and '70s and paved the way for other strong-willed, independent women. The hit film and book "Coal Miner's Daughter" tell her riveting story, from "I'm a Honky-Tonk Girl" to her new one, "Country In My Genes." Chat with the living legend on yahoo.com at 8 p.m. EST, 7 p.m. CST, 6 p.m. MST, 5 p.m. PST.

I saw a VH-1 special about them, so I know. No band in history, going all the way back to a group of ancient Roman punk minstrels called Disruptivus Behavioria who got eaten by a half-man, half-alligator, half-halfling creature called the Morganna, has seen as much trouble as the Mamas and the Papas. Michelle Phillips, as the pretty one, was stuck in the middle of it all, and seems to have come through rather unaffected. She's been occupying herself by starring things like "Knots Landing," "Beverly Hills 90210" and now "Popular." Chat with her on yahoo.com at 5 p.m. EST, 4 p.m. CST, 3 p.m. MST, 2 p.m. PST.

They may be insane in the membrane, but they're also insane in the brain. Chemically enhanced hip-hoppers Cypress Hill have managed to cross over with their well-produced sound and nasal rapping. The bleary-eyed rascals behind "Black Sunday" and "I Ain't Goin' Out Like That" will be chatting about their latest LP, "Skull and Bones," on msn.com at 7 p.m. EST, 6 p.m. CST, 5 p.m. MST, 4 p.m. PST.

"'Goosebumps' Books: Catalyst For Kids' Reading or Demonic Influence"? That's the title of my article in which I ask whether "Goosebumps" books are a catalyst for kids' reading or a demonic influence. It was much better-received than my previous article, "'Goosebumps' Books: Fact or Fiction?," in which I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that there are indeed books called "Goosebumps." If you don't belive me, you can ask R.L. Stine, the creator and writer of the popular kids' series, on freezone.com at 7 p.m. EST, 6 p.m. CST, 5 p.m. MST, 4 p.m. PST.

Former tough guy Everlast of House of Pain showed his more contemplative side nowadays with a smash-hit collection of guitar tunes, "Whitey Ford Sings The Blues." His chart-topper "What It's Like" was one of the least annoying overplayed hits in history. Chat with him about his new album, "Eat at Whitey's," on msn.com at 8 p.m. EST, 7 p.m. CST, 6 p.m. CST, 5 p.m. PST.
