3 > Phylicia Rashad on Cosby Reunion
By Daniel R. Coleridge

After the smash-hit of Sunday night's NBC 75th Anniversary Special, Phylicia Rashad feels optimistic about The Cosby Show: A Look Back — airing May 19 at 9 pm/ET. Even if it will air against the series finales of Survivor: Marquesas and The X-Files!

"There's plenty of people to turn on one channel or the other, and there is room for everybody to succeed," the 53-year-old insists. "I am not concerned about it. Ratings are a good thing, but it wasn't what we were looking at when we were working [on The Cosby Show]. I wasn't thinking about it then, so I don't think I'm going to start thinking about it now."

Summing up TV's current nostalgia boom, Clair Huxtable's portrayer adds: "Isn't it interesting that things we thought were passé and done and over with come back, and there's such interest in them? Hmm. There must be something there that young people are not seeing in things that [networks] program today."

Thanks to reruns, Rashad meets new Cosby fans constantly. "The work for me has been completed — the tapings were done years ago," she says, becoming emotional. "Since then, I've moved on to other things, but still on an everyday basis somebody walks up to me, holding a little child by the hand. They say, 'Do you know this lady?' And the person holding that child's hand is the one who grew up watching our show. It's amazing to me!"

By Lauren Kane

Admit it: You've been swept into The Weather Channel's whirlwind more than once. Perhaps you were mindlessly channel surfing, curious about the forecast — or maybe it's just that hunky meteorologist Paul Goodloe got your temperature rising!

While Goodloe — one of People's 50 Most Beautiful People in 2001 — makes light of his looks, he can't help fawning over someone else on the list: Halle Berry. Goodloe gleefully recalls meeting the Oscar winner at a convention a few years ago.

"I was sitting at a press conference," the 33-year-old says, "and she was talking about her next movie, X-Men. She talked about how she played a character called Storm, who can control the weather — and when she said it, she kind of pointed and referenced to me.

"It was a huge thrill," Goodloe gushes. In fact, if he could pick any celeb to share a warm front with, it'd be Berry. "I don't know if she's really into [weather]," he jokes, "but I'm really into her. I think she's gorgeous." (Sorry Paul, she's also married to singer Eric Benet. And let's not forget Mrs. Goodloe!)
