Sandra Bernhard - Is She For Real?

Is she for real? In answer to that question...I have to say a definite YES! In my exclusive interview with this young star I found her to be very down to earth and real. In the question and answer session she seemed to be very internal. When I say that, I mean very much into reality of life and learning about life. She is a soul searcher and doesn't take kindly to plastic people.

Before the interview I put together quite a few questions and even sought questions from the outside.

SC: Do you have any advice for our "native" girl Ellen and others like her who are threatened in the "industry" by their sexual identification with the public?
SB: Be real to yourself and the public. It's better to be true to yourself and others than to live a lie.
SC: What are your hobbies? What do you do to enjoy yourself when you aren't working?
SB: Puzzles and Bowling. I really like to bowl and watch others bowl. I could play for hours!

That was the end of the direct question and answer session. In casual talk I told her that many wanted to know why she and Madonna broke up. To my surprise, she informed me that the whole Sandra and Madonna thing was a media trash session. She even said that they hadn't made out before.! As a result, it seriously screwed up their friendship. Just in the last couple of weeks have they attempted to patch things up!

So there is some real scoop for you.
