ICYMI: BLOGGER'S NOTE ~ After the Thanksgiving Holiday, we will be changing the format of the talk show post to be more in line with the AC360 post – one picture and a list of topics/guests. I volunteered to take on blogging the talk show for ATA when it started due to other team member’s time constraints, work schedules and the time slots in certain markets. It was our hope that a reader or two would come forward to join the ATA Team and help with blogging the talk show on a regular basis. Unfortunately, that has not happened. With work, the holidays approaching and my other blog responsibilities, I cannot continue to devote the amount of time to the talk show post that I have been, on a daily basis. The talk show web site has recently started posting some full episodes and continues to post clips from each show. The new format will give our readers an overview and a landing for comments along with a link to the 'Anderson' website. If there is a certain segment that catches my interest and I think readers would be interested, I will clip it, like we do with certain AC360 interviews. I am also willing to accept reader requests for a particular segment/guest interview and post it in a special “Reader Request” post within a day or two. I would ask that requests be from readers who identify themselves other than commenting as "anonymous." You may leave reader requests (reasonable please) in the comment section and we will do our best to accommodate the requests we receive. If interest in the talk show increases and readers step forward to help on a consistent basis, we are willing to re-evaluate, but until that happens, we will be moving to the abbreviated post format.
Last week we began sharing installments of Anderson's 5 part interview with Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams and Billy Crystal from Las Vegas in November 2006. The interview was filmed while the trio were promoting their charity show, Comic Relief. Here's the last in the series. We hope you enjoyed!

In another note, both the talk show and AC360 are airing re-runs on Thursday and Friday (according to the "Guide" on my TV), so there will be no post for either show until Monday. We will be posting a special series and our normal Saturday and Sunday posts. I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving holiday. ~ Wonz

Among those who participated were Dana Loesch, Gloria Borger, Ari Fleischer, David Gergen, Erin Bernett Tom Foreman and Donna Brazille.
Anderson looked at the shocking new online trend called revenge porn, in which private lives are exposed by bitter exes who post sexual photos on the Internet to exact revenge, even linking the photo to their ex's Facebook page, revealing a real name and identity ~
Guests included: *Two girls whose topless/naked photos ended up on a website with a link to their Facebook page and identifying information. *Hunter Moore - Runs website where people post naked pictures for revenge. *Bill Stanton - Safety Security Expert spoke about how laws haven't caught up to the Internet and how to protect yourself from being exposed *Two people (one male and one female) who have posted naked pictures of friends on website for revenge. *Anderson took questions from the audience and expressed his own opinions toward the people who submit photos and Hunter Moore. One thing not touched upon is why people have nude photos of themselves and have them on their computer to begin with.
After a break, Anderson's next guest was a young woman who was secretly videotaped at a tanning salon and the video ended up on a porn site. (A guy accessed the tanning salon through the ceiling from the office next door without knowledge of the salon. The man has been arrested.) The security expert showed devices that contain hidden cameras. While they can be used for security reasons, some people use them for less than honest purposes.
Anderson spoke with the latest castoff from "DWTS," Hope Solo, via satellite. Hope spoke about her experience on "DWTS" ~
Anderson's final guest was actress Ellen Barkin, who discussed her new addiction to Twitter and her penchant for cursing like a sailor. Anderson threatened a Twitter intervention for Ellen.

Ellen also spoke of her own real life co-parenting relationship with ex-husband Gabriel Byrne and how close they remained after their divorce ~
