  UNCENSORED QUOTES OF THE WEEK:

  "Will miss you Jack Wagner! So sad you will be leaving B&B? Please let Jack know how he has been appreciated by all of us! I think he is over in April - then he will go to GH."

  -B&B's Hunter Tylo leaks information on Facebook

  Translation: Take me with you, puh-lease!

  "SOAP OPERA DIGEST is my bible! I watch all the soaps. I can't believe this little girl from Arkansas got to be on Y&R. It was the bomb! When I was on the set I got to meet my pride and joy, Eric Braeden. He took me in his arms and spoke romantic German to me. I'm, like, is anybody filming this? When he died on the Titanic I was so hurt. Victor Newman would never die on the Titanic! He'd call Newman Enterprises and get a helicopter to pick him up - and then sue the cruise line! He's gangsta."

  -Sheryl Underwood getting her fan on to TV GUIDE

  Translation: Too bad Victor isn't producing Y&R.

  "I was so nervous, I couldn't eat and I couldn't sleep. It takes a lot of mental dexterity to do a soap, but it was just phenomenal. A few days before I did my scenes I was performing in Washington, D.C., at the D.C. Improv and Debbi Morgan [Y&R's Harmony] came to see my show. I told her to tell the people at Y&R that I was not coming in intending to be funny and that I would not be needing a billion takes. I was concerned that maybe they wouldn't think I was taking this seriously because I'm a standup comic. I was dead serious and needed them to know that. I want to do that show again! Who else needs marrying in Genoa City?"

  Translation: What are the chances that I could be the new Dru?
