While most actors impress
us with tales of trips to ex
otic islands or trendy Euro
pean cities, D£. Woodside,
star of CBS's Wvo Laughiin,
does it with his love of train
travel. 'I recommend do
ing it from the East Coast
to the West Coast As you
start to leave [the East],
everything starts to open
up. It gives you freedom,"
says Woodside, 38. "Maybe
it's what the settlers felt as
they were traveling westward." With a resume of
great TV parts, including President Wayne Palmer
on 24, Woodside says he'd like to return to his na
tive New York for a Broadway role. "I would love to
have done A Raisin in the Sun, but they had P. Diddy.
That was interesting."
Q< I am an Oprah
fan, but when I
heard that she has a
boyfriend, I wasn't
sure it was true.
Jillian Craven, Boston
When you hear Op
rah say “Oh, Sted
man would love this,”
or ‘Tm going to make
these for Stedman,”
she’s talking about
longtime love Sted
man Graham. How
ever, she continues to
profess her lack of
desire to marry or
have kids. Graham
told us last year that
that’s fine with him.

Qj Whose familiar voice announces CBS Evening
News with Katie Couricl I say it's Walter Cronkite.
My husband says no. There's SIOO riding on this.
Kathy Sylvester, Manchester, Conn.
Collect, Kathy. You win. That is, indeed, Walter Cron
kite announcing the show. The American icon has
been doing the voiceover for CBS Even ing News with
Katie Couric since she debuted on Sept. 5,2006. as
a nod to the long history of the news show: Cron
kite, of course, anchored that new's program from
1962 to 1981.

Kevin McKidd, 34, has
been a bit on pins and
needles since the debut
of his NBC show, Journey
man. It wasn't a hit with
audiences right out of the
gate, but he has been
working on it since the
McKIDD

sees it as “very emotional, very intense,
very romantic" It is about time-travel,
yes, but also about "journeys and mak
ing choices." He says this all in a charm

for a part in the movie Thor.

Rebecca Hall, Stuarts Draft, Va.
Lifetime’s most successful series
ever will return next spring with
19 episodes, up from last season’s 13. “There will be
more opportunity to flesh out the characters,” says
creator Katherine Ftigate. When we spoke, Fugate,
42, was on her way to spend time with some real
Army wives at Virginia’s Fort Belvoir. Fugate says
they are “the unsung heroes,” and they feel we have
“shined a light on what they’re doing at home ...
their sacrifices.” What they don’t like: stereotypical
portrayals of military wives having affairs, a
