Leeza Gibbons Every Sunday night from 9pm til Midnight on 92.9 KAT FM the stars come out on Hollywood Confidential as Leeza Gibbons takes you behind the scenes and stories that make tinseltown what it is!

Leeza has been called a social entrepreneur, but if you ask her what she does, she'll simply answer "I'm a storyteller". From television news journalist and host, to radio personality, producer and businesswoman, Leeza has been entering America's living rooms for over 25 years. While she would nationally burst on the scene as an anchor & reporter on ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, it wouldn't be until hosting her own daytime talker LEEZA that audiences would see Gibbons' determination to get outside of the box and become a household name while highlighting her intelligence, sensitivity and compassion. Gibbons served as Executive Producer of LEEZA, which debuted on NBC in 1994 and continued nationally through 2000. Receiving nominations for both Outstanding Talk Show and Outstanding Talk Show Host every year it was eligible, LEEZA would garner 27 Daytime Emmy Nominations, winning three. It was during the series run that Gibbons' impact on television would be awarded with one of Hollywood's highest honors: a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. With her never-ending entrepreneurial creativity and a mind for business-building, Gibbons formed LEEZA GIBBONS ENTERPRISES (LGE) in 1994, and since then she has produced and developed the kinds of projects, partnerships and products that reflect her passions and concerns.

Leeza decided to strap her dance shoes on for season 4 of ABC's hit show DANCING WITH THE STARS. Leeza dedicated her performances to her children and to her mother who was nicknamed "Jean, Jean the dancing machine". Leeza turned 50 during the second week of the show and launched her FEARLESS campaign motivating women across the country to live fearlessly at any age and to dance through life with grace and confidence.

Her commitment to offer life changing support led Leeza to the PROMISE® HEART COACH™ PROGRAM. Teaming up with a fitness coach and a nutritionist, Leeza offered inspiration, motivation, tips and tools to a national audience of women committed to changing their lifestyle.

It was a need to serve her own family that prompted Gibbons to leave her daily post as managing editor and host of the newsmagazine EXTRA in 2003 in order to form THE LEEZA GIBBONS MEMORY FOUNDATION (a 501c3, non-profit) - her most personal endeavor to date. "I promised my mother I would take her diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and use it to educate and inspire. We're doing that through Leeza's Place intimate settings in cities across the country where the newly diagnosed with any memory disorder and their caregivers can get education, empowerment and energy free of charge as they prepare for the journey ahead."

Gibbons leads a life of gratitude and while thrilled with all of her many professional accomplishments, she is most proud of her own family life. She has three children: daughter Lexi, and sons Troy and Nathan.

Hollywood Confidential also features, reviews of the latest films, Info on How Hollywood Works, a weekly Reality Rewind, the Hollywood Vault and a walk on the dark side with Dearly Departed. Plus, plenty of free DVD giveaways and more - it's Hollywood, it's Confidential. Hollywood Confidential is the destination for all things Hollywood Sunday's 9pm til Midnight on 92.9 KAT FM!
