She told PopEater, "I was lucky enough to be invited to be a part of it. I have not watched TV in almost a decade, but I might just tune into this one! This is called Celebridate and I don't perceive myself to be a celebrity, but I guess they do. To a certain degree, I am in the public eye."

"This is actually the first time I have dated in my life. I've had one boyfriend, it was very fascinating to me; it was an unforgettable experience. I am painfully shy and anxious...that's just my personality."
