Fun at Jimmy V

Celebrities and athletes turned out this past weekend for the Jimmy V Celebrity Golf Tournament in Raleigh.

I talked to a few of them during the practice rounds on Saturday. It was great to see so many people taking time out of their busy schedules to support this wonderful cause.

But enough about that: you want the inside scoop on the interviews, don't you?

Here are some tidbits that didn't make my video interviews (which you can watch by clicking the links on the right):

  • N.C. State head basketball coach Sidney Lowe rocked a pair of pink pants on the course. He was one of the only golfers not dressed in a green striped shirt.
  • "Young and the Restless" star Kimberlin Brown was just cleared by her doctors to play golf again. She was in a car accident a year ago and is still recovering. She didn't look rusty though, when she teed off and sent the ball flying!
  • Canes forward Chad LaRose was golfing in the same group as former "90210" star Matthew Laurance – aka David Silver's dad.
  • Dennis Haysbert ("24," "The Unit") said people are always asking him "Are you in good hands?" – a reference to his slogan on the All State insurance commercials.

I've saved my entire interview with Haysbert for this week's official "Entertainment wrap-up." It will be posted on Wednesday.
