I HAVE GOT TO TELL YOU. SOME NIGHTS I DO THE SHOW, I
LOOK AT THE BOARD, SEE WHO IS COMING DOWN, I SEE WHO IS ON AND
THEY SAY AND I THINK OH, THAT WILL BE A FUN NIGHT OUT.
THIS TRIO, WHERE WOULD WE GO, ARE YOU, WHERE WOULD YOU TAKE
US? >> YOU KNOW I'M GOOD WITH THIS
STUFF. I'M VERY CREATIVE WITH PLACES TO
GO. >> James: YOU DON'T STRIKE ME
AS A CREATIVE PERSON AT ALL. >> YOU KNOW, IN FACT WHEN I TELL
PEOPLE BACK IN THE OLD DAYS THE MOST FUN FREE THING TO DO IN
L.A. IS TO GO TO OPEN HOUSES IN BEVERLY HILLS AND THE HOLLYWOOD
HILLS ON SUNDAY. >> James: YES.
>> AND LOOK THROUGH EVERYONE'S THINGS.
>> THAT IS FUN. BUT ARE THERE MIMOSAS.
>> WE BRING OUR OWN MIMMOUSAS. >> James: BUT ALSO SOMETIMES
THEY DO CENTER A COUPLE OF SNACKS OUT.
>> YES, THEY DO, THEY ABSOLUTELY WILL SWRZ SOMETIMES DO I THAT,
FOR LUNCH AND THEN COSTCO FOR DINNER.

PROM, WHICH YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE IN.

FROM BEHIND ME, I FELT SO BAD, BUT LITERALLY, MY EXECUTIVE
PRODUCER WAS TRYING TO CALL ME, SHE IS LIKE WHY AREN'T YOU

>> James: NONE OF IT TWNS WHICH IS DISAPPOINTING IT TO IT
BE FRANK. >> James: BUT YOU ARE AN
EXTRAORDINARY DANCER, WHEN YOU WERE 15 YOU WON A DANCE
COMPETITION. >> YEAH.

DOING A DANCE CONTEST. NOW I DON'T KNOW WHY, ICE CREAM,
DANCING, I DON'T GET IT, ANYWAY, I WON IT AND I GOT FREE ICE
CREAM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. I KNOW, WILD.
>> James: NOT JUST FOR A YEAR, FOR YOUR LIFE.
>> FOR MY LIFE, LIKE A LIFETIME SUPPLY, WHATEVER THAT IS IT TO
THEM OF-- I KNOW, WE COULD GO. >> THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY LAST
DANCE. >> AND THEN TURNS OUT WHEN I
FIRST MOVED TO NEW YORK, YOU KNOW, I WAS A STARVING ARTIST.
I DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF COIN. SO WHEN I WOULD RUN OUT OF
PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY OR COULDN'T AFFORD COFFEE, I WOULD
JUST GO DOWN TO 42ANT STREET, TIME SQUARE, WALK INTO COLD
STONE AND GET SOME ICE CREAM FOR BREAKFAST.
>> James: ABSOLUTELY. SENSATIONAL.
ARE YOU, YOU WERE A GO GO DANCER IN THE CLUBS IN NEW YORK CITY,
WAS THAT, WHAT WAS THAT TIME LIKE.
>> WAS THAT A PROFITEDDABLE JOB. >> FOR ME IT IT WAS PROFITABLE.
I USED TO GO GO DANCE AT THE BAR IN THE PYRAMID CLUB.
LOTS OF CLUBS ALL OVER TOWN BUT I WAS VERY, I WOULD ASK PEOPLE
FOR MONEY. I WOULD SAY WHAT IS YOUR NAME.
I WOULD SAY YOU GOT SOME MONEY FOR ME?
AND PEOPLE, I WOULD, AND YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD GET 50 BUCKS FOR
DOING IT BUT I WOULD COME HOME WITH ABOUT $200 FROM, YOU KNOW,
$1 BILLS. >> NOW ARE YOU, I WANT TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT THIS, YOU POSTED SOME PHOTOS OF YOURSELF ON
INSTAGRAM. I'M CURIOUS ABOUT THESE.
TALK ME THROUGH THIS, WHAT IS THIS, WHO IS THIS PERSON, WHAT
IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE. THIS ONE HERE, AND THEN THIS
ONE, WHICH I THINK IS MY FAVORITE.
WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE? >> OKAY, FIRST OF ALL, THIS GUY
RON ALL McDONKEY HAS BEEN DOING THESE MASK PICTURES FOR
YEARS AND I HAVE LOVED THEM FOR YEARS.
AND THEN I JUST STARTED DISCOVERING THAT HE HAS BEEN
DOING MASKED PICTURES OF ME, SO THE FIRST GIRL I'M SURE THEY,
THE ORIGINAL PICTURE SIEM SURE SHE WAS SAYING YOU KNOW WHAT, I
WILL LET THESE HAVE T I WILL LET THEM THOUGH THAT I STILL GOT IT.
>> James: YEAH. >> AND HERE, BAM, HERE IT IS.

>> THIS OTHER ONE, SHE IS A SENSIBLE WOMAN WHO DRIVES A
SUBARU OUTBACK AND HER LOVER GILL IS BEING-- IS A TEACHER AT
BOULDER HIGH SCHOOL IN COLORADO. >> James: WHAT I LOVE ABOUT

IS ALWAYS DISCREET. >> ALWAYS DISCREET, KEEP IT 100,
YOU KNOW. >> SO CLAZY.
>> James: NOW ARIANA, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR
BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE ON "WEST SIDE STORY."
THE CLIP THAT WE ARE GOING TO SHOW IS FROM I THINK MY FAVORITE
AND BEST, I THINK THE BEST SEQUENCE IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE
WHICH IS-- HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO SHOOT, WHAT WERE THOSE DAYS
LIKE ON SET. >> WE SHOT IT IN THE COURSE OF A
MONTH, IT IT WAS REALLY HOT, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HEAT WAVE,
TWIRLING, TWIRLING, BURNING HOLES IN MY SHOES, I DON'T HAVE
THOSE SHOES BECAUSE I'M SURE-- I WAS INJURED WHILE I WAS WORKING.
AND SHOOTING AMERICA, I HAD A REALLY BAD SPRAINED ANKLE SO I
PUT A BLANKET DOWN ON A DIRTY BE NEW YORK CITY STREET, GOT MY
FEET UP ON A BRICK WALL AND ICING MY FEET HERE AND.
THERE THANK GOD I HAD A GREAT MEDICAL TEAM BECAUSE I KID YOU
NOT, THOSE DANCES, THE TECHNICAL CHOREOGRAPHY IS SO BEAUTIFUL BUT
MISLEADING BECAUSE IT LOOKS KIND OF LIKE HUMAN AND EASY, VERY PED
BUT IT TAKES GREAT SKILL AND I WAS LIKE GUYS, THAT RIGHT THERE
IS A SMALL MIRACLE THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
SO I'M REALLY PROUD OF IT IT. AND ALSO SO MANY BEAUTIFUL
LATINOS AND LATINAS, JUST POWERFUL, YEAH, IT'S GREAT.
>> James: IT ABSOLUTELY EXCEPTIONAL.
