Alison Sweeney, actress on Days of Our Lives, host of The Biggest Loser and author of The Star Attraction, talked to Brian about why she chose to write a fictional book. Sweeney explained that she wanted to write a story about things that go on behind the scenes. “There’s so many things that happen behind the scenes or on a red carpet where you say ‘Oh my God, no one will believe it!’… These things do happen,” she said.
