'Transformers' Stars Shape Up

(CBS)  In the widely anticipated movie "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen," actors Ron and Judy Witwicky, who play the parents of Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), don't transform into anything.

"You kind of turn into a blubbering mother," said Dunn of White's character in the sequel to 2007's mega hit "Transformers."

"I transform, we transform into empty nesters," White told Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith, weather anchor and features reporter Dave Price and "Britain's Got Talent" judge and Early Show guest anchor Amanda Holden.

White is also performing "Twelfth Night" as part of New York City's "Shakespeare in the Park."

Going from "Transformers" on screen to "Twelfth Night" on stage has been quite a ride for White: "It's really good. I'm trying to balance my entertainment karma," she said.

Dunn and White went on to discuss what it was like to play LaBeouf's parents and to act with giant transforming toys.

Amanda Holden is a liability to the CBS Early Show. She cruelly mocked and imitated Susan Boyle on a British comedy show called "Chatty Man" in an episode which aired on Sunday August 16th. A video can be viewed on YouTube. Ms. Holden is a judge on Britain's Got Talent. Susan Boyle was a contestant. This was unprofessional and unethical behavior on the part of a judge toward a contestant. It reflects a betrayal of an implicit, if not explicit, trust that should exist between a talent show judge and contestant. I and many other fans of Susan Boyle will boycott CBS and its sponsors until Amanda Holden is no longer a correspondent with the CBS Early Show.
