A Christmas Break for Family Old and New for Cat DeeleyA Christmas Break for Family Old and New for Cat Deeley/Tiffani Thiessen 'Not Stressing' About Extra Pounds Till Later Cat Deeley's taking a breather — briefly — to go "home to Mom and Dad's for a big family Christmas" in the countryside of her native England, with special company. "My brother and his wife had a new baby two weeks ago, a little girl. He called and said, 'Hello! Get your dressing box up and ready. You've got a little girl to play with,'" recounts the "So You Think You Can Dance" hostess. Besides baby Anna, she'll be with her 2-year-old nephew, Harry, and assorted other relatives. We caught up with Deeley as she was leaving a Christmas pantomime "in London town, and now the snow is coming down in the streets," she described by phone. "Now I'm really getting into the Christmas spirit." She'll quickly get back to work after the festivities are over, however. "We're already into auditions for the new season of the American show, and we're already in Vegas week for the U.K. show," she says, speaking of her dual "SYTYCD" chores. Beyond that, she has her Pantene spokesmodel work to do in England, her jewelry line, a UNICEF trip to plan and two shows she says she has in the works with Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics "that I can't talk about yet." Also, "I'm working with Oprah's old producer of 17 years on a couple of TV shows as well," reports the energetic Brit. "So I have pitch meetings ahead in New York." Rumors of her joining Simon Cowell's upcoming "X Factor" show remain just that, she says. "I haven't heard anything. And I don't know how I could have the time for anything else." LET IT GO, LET IT GO, LET IT GO: Tiffani Thiessen, who gave birth to daughter Harper in June, says of regaining her figure, "It's definitely something I'm working on still; I have 10-15 pounds to go. It's coming off for sure, but the last 10 pounds are a little stubborn." However, she adds, "Right now, it's the holidays, and I'm not stressing about it. You're pregnant nine months; it's going to take another nine months to get the weight off.
HOW THE WESTERN WAS FUN: Clint Walker, who reigned o'er TV screens in the late 1950s as true blue hero sheriff Cheyenne Bodie, still gets heaps of fan attention at age 83 — and not just from folks who are old enough to have watched the show. He and his wife, Susan "are busy with our website seven days a week. It's grown more and more," he says of his clintwalker.com, where he posts his appearance schedule, makes memorabilia available for sale and communicates with followers. He also gets "Crayola drawings from youngsters who are just discovering the series now, mail from 17- to 25-year-olds who are familiar with the series or other movies I made. I feel so blessed." Warner Archive Collection released his "Cheyenne Season 2 — Parts 1 & 2" this month on demand and digital download. The shows, dotted with intriguing guest stars like Dennis Hopper, Marie Windsor and John Carradine, still hold up. So do Walker's anecdotes. Turns out, things could get mighty funny out there on the prairie. "One time, we started our day at 7 a.m., and we were still shooting at 1:30 the next morning. The leading lady was so tired she was crying. We were doing a scene where the Indians were approaching, and I was supposed to say, 'Don't shoot! They're carrying their rifles butt-first.' But it came out 'Don't shoot! They're carrying their butts first.' Everyone broke up." Another time, the hunky, 6-foot-6 Walker had a scene in which he doffed his shirt and splashed water on his face. "I stole a little piece of black tape from the crew and put it on my chest and attached my sheriff's badge to the tape. When we did the scene, I took off my shirt, and people started laughing. The director said, 'What's wrong?' And then he realized I had the badge there. He retaliated later by having the script girl hide in a closet when I was supposed to open it to get my coat. She jumped out and said, 'Darling!'" he recalls. "I know some people thought those things were a waste of film, but I don't think so. They energized everyone and put them in a light mood."
