As Part Of "Baad Girls Week," A Salute To Women Risk Takers

Gwyneth Paltrow and Alan Cumming spend the day together exploring old Hollywood

A bold and witty take on the typical interview show format, Mr. Cumming gives viewers a revealing glimpse of the award-winning actress through candid conversation in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. The film actor, director, writer and Broadway star serves as show host.

The special will premiere as part of "Baad Girls Week," a week of special programming celebrating women rule breakers and risk takers, as voted on by Oxygen viewers. "Baad Girls Week" will air from Sunday, August 11 through Saturday, August 17.

"Eavesdropping With Alan Cumming" gives viewers a fly-on-the-wall perspective of a frank and funny conversation between the two friends as they make their way around various Hollywood landmarks beginning at the new Kodak Theater and concluding at Canter's Deli.

Ms. Paltrow covers various subjects, including.

Monica Lewinsky

"It's wrong that someone becomes a celebrity and gains total access to things without working for it, and in fact, for doing something and for being part of some this great pox on our history." "I don't like the fact that she does all this press about it because she is famous for something that I think is very unladylike."

Changing Status With The Public

"People only like you to succeed to a certain degree, and then they hate your guts for awhile, and then they decide you're okay again."

Mr. Cumming and Ms. Paltrow have worked together on several films including "Emma" (1996) and "Anniversary Party" (2001), a film on which Mr. Cumming served as co-director, co-writer and co-star. Mr. Cumming has also been featured in such films as "Circle of Friends" (1995) and "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999) and "Spy Kids" (2001), and has just completed filming on the sequel to "X-Men." His breakthrough role however, came not on screen, but onstage as the Emcee in "Cabaret" on Broadway, for which he garnered a Tony, a Drama Desk, and an Outer Critics Circle award.

Three-time Tony Award winning producer Dori Berinstein serves as executive producer of "Eavesdropping With Alan Cumming." Ms. Berinstein recently won her third Tony for the smash Broadway hit "Thoroughly Modern Millie." Previously, she won for "One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest," starring Gary Sinise, and the Bill Irwin/David Shiner play "Fool Moon." Ms. Berinstein has served as executive producer and supervised many top films including "Dirty Dancing" and "Unzipped." She is also executive producer for Oxygen's original series "The Isaac Mizrahi Show" and the upcoming documentary "Women Of Wall Street."
