Has Emily Procter of "CSI: Miami" ever been in a movie? Is she married? Does she have children?
George Williams, Zeeland, Mich.
The 5-foot-2 actress has had small roles in films such as "Jerry Maguire" and "Leaving Las Vegas," but she prefers TV because "I'm a very hyper person, and movies tend to go a bit slow for me." The Raleigh, N.C., native tells us she has a boyfriend of many years, and she hopes they'll have children soon. However, Procter, 41, finds the thought of weddings stressful: "In movies and TV, I've been married six times, so I feel like I've gotten to do it."

What kind of car does Simon Baker's character, Patrick Jane, drive on "The Mentalist?"
Floyd Johnson, Cambridge City, Ind.
It's a vintage 1972 Citroen DS 20 that Warner Bros., producer of "The Mentalist" for CBS, had in its inventory. It was used in the 2008 movie "Speed Racer." For "The Mentalist," the car was shipped from Germany and painted eggshell blue (it was originally red).

Please tell me who plays the older gentleman in Billy Currington's country music video for "People Are Crazy." Is he an actor I should know? He seems familiar.
Hilma Mills, Richlands, N.C.
Unless you've been to the Savannah, Ga., area, you probably don't know him. He's the father of one of Currington's childhood friends who has never acted and didn't want to share more than his first name, James. Currington chose his pal's dad for the video because he saw him as the right person for the part.

Forget "Jon & Kate Plus 8." I love "Raising Sextuplets" on WE TV. Got any info?
Marcee Winters, Dimondale, Mich.
While the Jon and Kate drama continues, Jenny and Bryan Masche, parents of 2-year-old sextuplets, are raising their own big family in Lake Havasu City, Ariz. One difference: The Masches work full time, Jenny as a physician's assistant and Bryan as a pharmaceutical salesman. "Our biggest thing is you cannot quit real life. We go to church, we go to the park, we see our friends, we go to work," Jenny says. "If you aren't working, I think you can lose a sense of reality."

Who's hot in Hollywood
Matt Bomer, 32, plays it smooth in the new USA Network show "White Collar." He had to be similarly confident in high school, when he told his parents he was quitting football for acting. Dad, you see, is former Dallas Cowboy John Bomer. "They never understood why I wanted to ... lip-sync 'Born in the U.S.A.' to them with no provocation. But they always indulged me at least one verse." ... Gayle King, Oprah's BFF and "O" magazine editor, enthusiastically promotes Dream Big, this year's compilation of the best of the mag, out now. King says readers seek balance and "smart, practical advice." She says "O"'s aim is to "never make women feel bad about themselves."
