It's a dilemma that would turn most red-blooded males green with envy -- RTE's Gerry Ryan has double booked interviews with Playboy mansion owner Hugh Hefner and Pamela Anderson. Gerry said: "They have both confirmed for Wednesday, Hugh to be interviewed in the mansion, Pamela -- God only knows where -- but they both confirmed the same day at the same time.

Confidential

"We're going to try and separate them, obviously, and get both interviews."Gerry has managed to nab sit-down slots with a string of well-known stars for his show Ryan Confidential. The presenter revealed he has also got time with Tom Jones, Conan O'Brien and Sharon Osbourne.

He added: "We're in negotiations with David Frost. I think that would be terrific. We've just finished editing Roger Moore, which turned out to be wonderful."Now in its seventh series, his show has pulled in ratings of about 500,000 per episode, with previous interviewees including Colin Farrell, Meatloaf and one memorable chat with Kerry Katona.
