Chat With Gloria Steinem, Erin Brockovich, Brett Favre

Feminism was basically just an academic, little-explored concept before Gloria Steinem burst onto the scene. Steinem's great legacy is the magazine Ms., which still holds to a non-advertising format in giving the world the latest in feminist thought. Chat with the Martin Luther King of feminism on yahoo.com at 11 p.m. EST, 10 p.m. CST, 9 a.m. MST, 8 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 3 p.m. EST, 2 p.m. CST, 1 p.m. MST, 12 noon PST.

In Wisconsin, they take sports heroes to heart. If, that is, "taking to heart" is defined as "latching on with a dangerous obsession." Brett Favre (pronouced "Farve") is a 3-time NFL MVP and a Super Bowl winner, a man for whom Green Bay fans would give up bratwurst forever if he said the word. Beer -- well, that's a different story. He'll be chatting on athletesdirect.com and he'll only be taking submissions that begin with the phrase "PACKERS RULE!!!!!" No, just kidding. 8:30 p.m. EST, 7:30 p.m. CST, 6:30 p.m. MST, 5:30 p.m. PST.

I'll tell you what I find interesting about Kirk Franklin (Not that you asked. You never ask. Why don't you ever ask me about my opinions on mid-level celebrities anymore? It's like we just don't talk the way we used to.): I find it interesting that he combined gospel and hip-hop, two forms of music which really do belong together but have been kept apart too long because of ideological differences (Kinda like us. I can't believe what you said at that party the other night). Chat with him on yahoo.com at 9 p.m. EST, 8 p.m. CST, 7 p.m. MST, 6 p.m. PST.

If I know Erin Brockovich, which I don't, really (I saw the movie, that's about it), she's one strong woman. This is the real Erin Brockovich we're talking about here, not Julia Roberts. Plus, I heard she's a hottie! Woo-woo! Uh oh, I'm in trouble now, aren't I. Forget I said that. I would erase it myself, if I could figure out how to delete things that I've typed. Never mind, just chat with the woman who inspiringly took down an evil corporation on yahoo.com at 2 p.m. EST, 1 p.m. CST, 12 noon MST, 11 a.m. PST.
