- Fabulous.

- Check this out.

- Yeah. Great. Good.

First up tonight, you've seen

her in the pages of magazines,

and well, the opening

of practically anything,

but what what you may not

know about this "it" girl...

is her humanitarian side.

Hey, everyone.

I'm Samantha James

and I'm here

with Mr. Cluck Cluck

and my new

best friend Wafoofi

and we're part of a kick-ass

humanitarian effort

to help promote vegetarianism

in third world countries,

which is really really

important.

Okay, and speaking of

really really important...

I have some good news.

I've been recording

for my new album

which I hope to have out

early next...

- I want that album.

- Hah! What?!

- Samantha James?

- Yeah.

No no no no. Listen to me

very carefully now.

Samantha James

is a crazy person.

Hey, you're the one that

used to diddle her, not me.

It was one date!

And I ended up in the hospital.

Have you seen this poster?

Huh? Have you seen...

- this poster?

- Yeah, with the fruit.

This is the hottest-selling

poster in the United States.

People love her.

They love her!

Oh, who loves her?

MTV just got her a new

reality show next year.

We time the CD release with the show,

we got a guaranteed hit

plus free promotion.

- She's recording over...

- I know where she's recording.

Good. Good.

Make me happy.

Go away.

Wait. Not you.

Wait!

You don't make me happy, I'm gonna

find somebody else to make me happy.

Loud and clear. Yeah.

Clear as a bell.

- Good.

- Okay.

What are you

still doing here?

Go!

Go get me lobster!

Go! Run! Lobster!

Run away! Run!

Daddy want a fish!

Uh, uh, uh

Yeah, uh uh,

eins zwei drei vier!

We might be

a world apart

World apart

But you're always

in my heart

Always in my heart

- When you look up at the stars

- Look up at the stars

- Feel my love from afar

- Afar afar

- Looking down like a shining star

- Shining star

- Dancing free with my guitar

- My guitar

- I don't know just where you are

- Where are you?

Love from afar,

love from afar

Feel my love...

Cut! Cut!

Okay, Ron, which jokester

changed the key on me?

No one, Samantha.

It's been the same key

for the last 43 takes.

Well, something's off then,

because I'm just not feeling it, okay?

God, I need my guitar.

- We need to mix the tracks separately.

- No!

My lyrics say "dancing free

with my guitar," Ron.

So, I'm gonna

be real, okay?

I'm not gonna let you

and Hong Kong Phooey up there

turn me into some poppy

bubblegum wannabe.

Okay?

I need to transcend!

Are you guys

even listening to me?

You guys are a**holes,

you're a**holes...

- Switch it off, guys.
