Host: "My name is Karl. I love you, Melissa. Are you going to be on 'Beverly Hills 90210' again?"

Melissa: Yes, I'll be on next season. No, really, I did one episode in 97, I would think not, besides, isnt it cancelled now?

Host: Yep, it sure is. lol. Here's a question everybody's asking -- what is your next video and single going to be?

Melissa: I don't know what the next single is. So I don't know what the next video's going to be.

Host: Does fame give you a big head?

Melissa: It can if you let it. But I have family and friends, and good people around me that keep me grounded.

Host: OK. Hold on. "'No Player' is the best video and song." That's not a question, it's just --

Melissa: lol. Thank you.

Host: Want to do a shoutout to Jana? It's her birthday.

Host: OK, great. You'll have millions showing up now. Who wrote "No Player"?

Melissa: Shep Crawford, Cory Rooney & myself.

Host: Here's an interesting question. "What are you afraid of, or are you too afraid to tell?"

Melissa: I have a lot of fears, believe it or not, I'm scared of the dark.

Host: Aww.. poor Mel!

Melissa: Shut up! lol

Host: Here's another question for ya... "I was learning the dance steps for "No Player," but it was hard to do. Who did the choreography?"

Melissa: Swoop, my choreographer.

Host: A lot of guys are giving you their telephone numbers, but I won't be reading those. "Have any paparazzi people taken a photo of any of you doing something embarrassing?"

Host: There's no way to get to all of these questions, obviously, but in signing off, is there anything you'd like to say to all of your fans around the world?

Melissa: Check out the album, "Exposed," on August 14! Thank you guys for all the love, support, hanging out and being there. The album is coming.
