But, um, did we really need to know that she has stretch marks or other details about her body? Or did we need to know the intimate details of her married life?

Ack! TMI! TMI!

It's getting harder and harder to remember a time when people didn't blab everything to a national television audience. Or even a room full of strangers.

"I love you guys," Park told Kressley and his executive producer. "Do you know why? Because you created a monster. I am a sexy beast — a sexy beast."

I'm kind of thinking they didn't create the monster, they just unleashed the beast.

CARSON KRESSLEY, who first became a TV star on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," is becoming a bigger presence on Lifetime.

For one thing, this season's episodes of "How to Look Good Naked" are expanding from 30 minutes to an hour.

And, coming in a few months, probably January, he'll host his own talk show on the cable network.

"We are really just in the very early developmental stages," Kressley said. "I think it's going to be a 30-minute (weekday) show that will air daytime on Lifetime.

"I think it's going to definitely have a style, kind of, focus. It's not going to be just about makeovers, but certainly the Lifetime viewer is someone who is interested in fashion and style. And 'Project Runway' is coming to the network. So, there's certainly a little bit more hip, cool, contemporary kind of thing that we will be going for."

Along with celebrity interviews "but in a different way. Instead of having someone come to the studio, we are going to do a lot of on-the-road stuff. We might go visit a celebrity at their home or go see somebody who is performing in Vegas — go check them out in their dressing room, do things related to fashion. Talking about fashion week in Paris, but we are going to do it from Paris, Kentucky."
