Welcome to MSN Live! Tonight we are proud to welcome the #1 most downloaded woman on the Internet, Cindy Margolis, whose new TV Show debuts on August 19!

Digital Dish Diva says:
Cindy, welcome to MSN Live! It is so great to meet you! Thanks for being our guest tonight!

Cindy Margolis says:
Hi to all my cyber buddies! Thanks so much for joining me tonight! I can't wait to get started!

Digital Dish Diva says:
Let's talk about your new TV Show! Tell us about it!

Cindy Margolis says:
Well I'm so excited about my new show. It's called "The Cindy Margolis Show." I think it's a catchy title (wink)! It's a Saturday Night Beach Party and it's about just having a good time. It premieres Saturday August 19th.

Digital Dish Diva says:
ashley1 says: Will the show have celebrities? What is the format?

Cindy Margolis says:
The format is all about a big party on the beach, having a good time, dancing, sexy games, bikini contests (webkini, because you vote over the internet), and celebrities.

Digital Dish Diva says:
mainstreet201 says: Is it really filmed on the beach? And do we vote for the bikini contest on your website?

Cindy Margolis says:
Yes, yes, yes. It was shot right on Ocean Drive and 9th on the beach. And you can vote for your favorite Webkini Girl on the website each week!

Digital Dish Diva says:
TheSpotlight Asks: On the show will there be a lot of chicks in bikinis?

Cindy Margolis says:
It's all about chicks in bikinis (wink!)!

Digital Dish Diva says:

Macy says: Is it hard to start a new show?

Digital Dish Diva says:
trevorsgurl123 says: Do you think the show will appeal more to guys or girls?

Digital Dish Diva says:
Is it a talk show?

Cindy Margolis says:
It's more like a variety show, and since I'm the host and a girl, so it's all about girl power and lots of stuff for the guys. I promise you ladies out there that there will be lots of sexy guys too!

Digital Dish Diva says:
sportsmodel1 says: How did you get into show business?

Cindy Margolis says:
I joke that I came out of the womb smiling! It's something I have always wanted to do being born and raised in LA, it just kind of happened.

Digital Dish Diva says:
dayrider says: I loved your show on the home shopping channel. I ordered your hair kit. Will you be coming out with other products soon? I love you!

Too many to count and thank you very much, Caryn!

Digital Dish Diva says:
JoeBlack364 Asks: Is Howard really a nice guy?

Cindy Margolis says:
Howard is! You either love him or hate him and I love him. He's always been a nice guy to me.

Digital Dish Diva says:
Remo503 Asks: I know you help a lot of new models get started. What is your #1 advice for a model just getting started in the business?

Cindy Margolis says:
That you have to use your brains and not just your beauty to get ahead. There are a million beautiful people out there and it's the smart ones that get ahead.

Cindy Margolis says:
So stay in school!

Digital Dish Diva says:
Nom Asks: Do you like to travel Cindy? Anyplace you haven't been that you would really like to go to? Ever been to Alaska?

Cindy Margolis says:
I've never been to Alaska, I would love to go! Is that an invitation? I do love traveling, but I am just a homebody at heart. My favorite place is still Maui Hawaii because it's only 5 hours away and I can get everything I want there.

Digital Dish Diva says:
What would be "everything I want"?

Cindy Margolis says:
The beach, mango, and a bubble bath.

Digital Dish Diva says:
ruggdocter Asks: Are you going to be in "Playboy" again?

Cindy Margolis says:
I loved doing "Playboy" in the early 90's however I was the only model on the cover to not do nudity on the inside. I don't plan on doing any nudity soon, but if I were, I would do it in "Playboy."

Digital Dish Diva says:
FutureSeer Asks: What is your ultimate dream thing to do?

Cindy Margolis says:
Just being home with my family and friends, just doing nothing. That's my favorite thing to do these days. I'm sorry that's such a boring answer. I'm such a computer geek, I enjoy being home on my computer in my pajamas.

Digital Dish Diva says:
eminem_140 Asks: Will you be traveling the country with your show?

Cindy Margolis says:
I will be, hopefully, traveling and promoting. It's in Miami now, but hopefully we'll take the show on the road and bring it to a city near you. Please all come down to my show. I love to have the audience full of my cyber buddies.

Digital Dish Diva says:
Jimmy265 Asks: Cindy I heard you will producing a beautiful line of bed linen designed by you. Where can I purchase a set?

Cindy Margolis says:
Can I steal that idea from you, Jimmy? I would love to have that, but no I don't have that in the works. But if I do, you'll be the first to know. That sounds like me because sleeping is one of my favorite things to do! LOL!

Digital Dish Diva says:
BenMar says: What is a typical day like for you?

Cindy Margolis says:
The best part is, it's never typical. It changes day-to-day, hour-to-hour, and that's my favorite part. But no matter what I'm doing, you can bet I'm on the computer every day checking in with my cyber buddies!

Digital Dish Diva says:

Burtsbees says: Did the Guinness Book really verify this? If so, that is very cool!

Digital Dish Diva says:
bronzehorse1 Asks: I am in the military and live in Japan. Do you have any plans to come to Japan?

Good question! Yes, yes, and yes. I'm hoping to come to Japan, not only with the show, but also with my beauty products because most of my products come from Japan. So hopefully I'll see you soon!

Digital Dish Diva says:
carter says: What made you want to design a line of beauty products?

Cindy Margolis says:
Because of all the thousands of e-mails from my girl cyber buddies asking for quality products at low prices, so I gave it to them. I hope everyone enjoys them!!!

Digital Dish Diva says:
ravenlelio Asks: When you were a kid what was the one thing you wanted to do when u grew up?

Digital Dish Diva says:
Can you tell me about your E Entertainment special?

Cindy Margolis says:
It's called "In Your Dreams with Cindy Margolis" and it premiers August 20th.

Digital Dish Diva says:
Nom Asks: How much freedom do you have on your new show Cindy? Do they let you do whatever you want to so far?

I'm really lucky because I do have a lot of freedom and they do listen to what I say. So there's a lot of me in the show, and I hope everyone will like it.

Digital Dish Diva says:
mono_zygote Asks: Have you been "exploited" by the Internet and what are your feelings about that?

Cindy Margolis says:
Absolutely not. I own and operate my own website so every word, picture, and color is 100% me. If anything I exploit the Internet. I love the Internet.

Digital Dish Diva says:
melanie1982 says: Did your dad or any male family member mind you posing online?

Cindy Margolis says:
Absolutely not! As a matter of fact, my husband is my biggest supporter. We put our wedding pictures on the website and it was downloaded more than my bikini pictures.

Digital Dish Diva says:
JoeBlack364 Asks: Do you ever go into chat rooms secretly?

Cindy Margolis says:
All the time! They're a lot of fun! But I can't tell you which ones, or it will blow my cover!

Digital Dish Diva says:

Digital Dish Diva says:
Michelle_BOP says: How many emails do you get a day?

Cindy Margolis says:
Thousands! And I appreciate each and every one and I try my best to return them. The great thing is that most people aren't expecting an e-mail back, they are just stopping by to say "Great site!" and I appreciate that!

Digital Dish Diva says:
Kosher says: Have you ever thought about writing a book about your whole experience?

Cindy Margolis says:
Yes. As a matter of fact, from all the e-mails I've gotten from people about website and career advice, I have thought about writing a book one day and hopefully it will be helpful.

Digital Dish Diva says:
ChiefTabbiano Asks: You are the most downloaded woman on the Internet. How did you get your start?

Cindy Margolis says:
I started in '95 when the TV show Extra put my pictures online and they were the first entertainment show to have a website. And that's how I got started.

Digital Dish Diva says:
Bishop86 Asks: Are you going to host "Live!" with Regis or is that just rumor?

Cindy Margolis says:
I did get so many e-mails from my cyber buddies asking me about that, I put it up on my website just as a joke and hopefully Regis will read it one day and I'll get to guest host. That would be a lot of fun!

Digital Dish Diva says:
Ponyhair says: Do you have any pets? I think you are a very giving and lovely person. Do you have kids?

Cindy Margolis says:
I'm so happy you asked because at this moment I'm sitting here with my 4 cats here in front of the computer and they love to sit here and watch me type. So for now these are my kids, but I definitely foresee being a mommy in the future and can't wait!

Digital Dish Diva says:
Alaya says: I would like to know. What profession do you put down on your Taxes?

Entertainer. So funny ask, I always think "What am I going to put in that box"? So I put Entertainer.

Digital Dish Diva says:

Digital Dish Diva says:
Mariah says: Do you have a favorite beauty tip?

Cindy Margolis says:
That if you have to wash your hair every day, just wash the scalp and not the tips.

Digital Dish Diva says:
Cindy, our last question is from Martin Asks: You are so beautiful. How do you balance work verses your personal life?

Cindy Margolis says:
Well that's the great thing about the Internet because I can do that at home, I'm just a computer geek, but I should say that it's computer sheik now. So I always have a great balance now with being surrounded by people I love and people that love me!
