Could we all possibly forget Demi Moore's troubles for one second and focus on the real reason Amanda De Cadenet and Moore were pictured together this week?
OK, so it was Moore's first public appearance post-rehab, but more importantly it was the launch of their fantastic new venture for Lifetime Television - The Conversation, hosted by De Cadenet and executive produced by Moore.
But if you are all wondering 'who the hell is Amanda De Cadenet', then let me fill you in a little…
This woman isn't any newcomer to the spotlight, in fact, she herself has led a rather interesting life indeed, if anyone knows the A-Z of celebrity, it is the renowned British personality and photographer - Amanda De Cadenet…
After being chased around London nightclubs in the late eighties at the age of fourteen by just about every paparazzo known to man, and being hailed as 'wild-child' on the front pages, Amanda went on to marry Duran Duran bassist, John Taylor, they have a daughter together – Atlanta.
She hit the headlines again in 1995 when she accompanied wild-woman Courtney Love to the Oscars, and she is now married to The Strokes' Nick Valensi, with whom she has twins.
She began hosting at the tender age of sixteen, after landing a plum job in 1990 on one of Britain's biggest pop-culture shows The Word, where she interviewed the likes of Denzel Washington and Keanu Reeves with whom she reportedly had a brief romance with.
However, De Cadenet eventually decided that her true place was behind the camera, telling stories and expressing her life's experiences through her images.
Talking about the show, where she interviews some of Hollywood's biggest female names, De Cadenet expressed how 'supportive' Moore has been throughout the production, she said "I'd been doing these interviews for about a year and Demi is one of my best girlfriends and a great sounding board for me."
She went on to praise Moore's work on the show, saying Moore 'has strived to do her very best as a producer'.
She added: "She's got 10 years on me, and so she is more ahead of me in the game of being a woman. She is an amazing resource for me, and so she has a vast life experience that I love to experience and to hear. And so I had been doing this for a year, and at a point that it became a reality and looked like it could actually go on TV, Demi said, 'Listen, Lifetime wants me to do something with them, but I want to do it with your thing. I really believe in what you are doing."
The Conversation is poised to be groundbreaking television, each week viewers will see de Cadenet interviewing stars such as with Jane Fonda, Lady Gaga, Sarah Silverman, Selma Hayek, Zoe Saldana and many, many others about everything from work to their preferred sexual positions, a question that leaves actress Gwyneth Paltrow slightly red-faced before hesitantly answering. De Cadenet truly gets to the emotional core of these trusting A-list females, thus bringing out the real person behind the red carpets and flash bulbs.
This weekly show will also feature "Women on the Street" segments, in which women from all walks of life reveal their personal feelings about their lives in the world today.
It's nice to see De Cadenet back in front of the camera, proving she is a real multi-talent with staying power, and it's fair to say that this curvaceous, sexy blonde, bombshell still has more has more contacts than Lenscrafters (ahem, there's a joke there)!
The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet premieres April 26 at 11 p.m. EST.
