What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAmanda Seyfried, who is forty, says she turned down a show because she is not into filming sex scenes anymore, and she put it plainly to the New York Post.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHer words were, I don't wanna do it, and she said she is uncomfortable. She did not name the show.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI think that is wonderfully healthy. She knows her limits, she said them out loud, and she got a headline for it.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFine, but somewhere a casting director is staring at a blank page and a very large lighting budget.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe lighting budget will be fine, Dale. It can go toward the other forty scenes where people just stand in kitchens.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorKitchens are where the real drama happens.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIn my house, it's the only room with a door that locks.
