    I have to laugh at all of you who wasted mountains of time bashing Diane for a comment that was so benign as to not merit any more ire from you than if she were to say she didn't like toast. hide show

    I have to laugh at all of you who wasted mountains of time bashing Diane for a comment that was so benign as to not merit any more ire from you than if she were to say she didn't like toast. She wasn't bashing a child's wish or being insensitive to her recent tragedy. It's a magazine, people, quotes are situated in the context the author creates.

    I can imagine that most of you are the strange folks that love Clay Aiken and can't handle anything that might be misconstrued as anti-Clay. You jump on the bandwagon when called to action and probably don't read Entertainment Weekly regularly - which if you did you'd know it is often barbing and sarcastic about things that many your kind love. Can't say I understand you, but you have your right to your preferences. Just don't take it out on an innocent person.

    From personal experience, I can say that Diane is an extremely intelligent, kind and generous woman, who puts the needs of others ahead of herself. If you took any time to do some research, you'd see she's been working with kids for years and is good at it.

    Host of Filter, Trading Spaces: Boys vs. Girls, Three Wishes, and many other shows. Actress on various tv shows and movies. hide show

    Diane is a great host. I didn't think I would be a fan of any of the shows she hosted, but after a few episodes, I was hooked on all of them. My personal favorite is Filter, which I have recorded about 25 episodes of. She's got a great personality and lights up a room with her smile. I watch and enjoy all of her shows, and I suspect other people will too just by having her on it. Over the years, I've seen her in various tv shows, without realizing it was Diane herself. I think my favorite non-hosting thing she has done was the Dr. Pepper commercial with a country singer. I saw that commercial years before I ever saw Diane on Filter, and I still remembered her. I wish her the best after Filter and Three Wishes. I can't wait to get her back on my tv on a weekly show (or a daily show would be even better)!

    All you people are just hatin' cause the truth is a bitter pill to swallow. Diane's great,a lot better than the rest of those hacks on the show. hide show

    You people don't know what you're talking about. First off,Clay Aiken DOES suck. On the scale of musical talent,he is at the very bottom with Jessica Simpson and Lindsay Lohan. I think Diane did the right thing being truthful and telling the girl they couldn't grant her wish to be a singer. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. The girl probably couldn't carry a tune in a bucket,but Diane was too decent a person to tell her in such blunt terms.
    I'd rather watch the show for Diane than for Amy Grant or any of those other phonies. The only reason everybody is praising Grant so much is because they only know her as an established Christian artist and therefore they are being fooled into thinking she's all wholesome and nice,which I will bet is a complete lie. They don't use Diane in enough of the show. They should downplay Amy Grant's long-winded and boring openings at the beginning. All she's doing is mugging for the camera anyway. And get rid of that brainless piece of meat,Eric Stromer. I've seen more talent and acting range from a tree stump. Being muscular and blond don't mean jack. In closing,if you're going to spew venom,at least direct it at the right people.

    Regarding the unkind and unprofessional comments, made by Miss Mizota about Clay Aiken,for the new Three Wishes TV SHow with AMy Grant. hide show

    I feel that what she said regarding the request of this young lady to meet Mr. Aiken was totally uncalled for. This was not a time for her personal opinion to be expressed (which is how it comes across in the EW article. Why even mention the request, (out of what I assume are thousands of wishes). This was a legitimate request, and to laugh at it, whether she likes Mr. Aiken or not, is very unprofessional to say the least. I give her thumbs down, and will NOT watch the show.
    If Miss Grant was part of this, I give her thumbs down too.Shame on her.

    What a waste of what should have been a good article to review a new show, expected to help people. Now we know the truth. hide show

    Diane brought the truth out in the article, I have to assume. If not, I wouldn't have thought they would have let it be published. And the truth is, if a child's wish isn't something that fits in the mold of what they think is cool or hip for their show, well, it's just good for a laugh then. Not to be granted, just to be laughed at. To quote "don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh".
    This left me totally believing that this show is only totally self serving and contrived to ride on the coattails of one done much better by people who would never make fun of someone's wish in a national magazine. I'm certainly no longer interested in seeing it! Good job, Diane!
