TMI! Suzanne Somers has sex with Alan Hamel twice a day thanks to hormones

[Junie]

Oh FFS!!
We need to know this...WHY!?!

Suzanne Somers tells the ladies of "The Talk" she has sex multiple times a day with her husband Alan Hamel.

The 61-year-old is arguably better known these days for pimping biodentical hormones than for her iconic "Three's Company" pigtails and Thighmaster infomercials. And she says those very hormones keep her love life revved up.

When asked about the frequency of bedroom time in the Somers-Hamel household, Suzanne says, "He's on hormones and I'm on hormones ... a couple times a day?" (Perhaps the better question is, why do we need to know this?)

Never one to be shy, Somers spills extra details about her daily encounters with Hamel. "What is it about men at four in the morning?" she asks. "There's some love at four in the morning and then I'm really awake at eight or so ... we have busy mornings."

(T.M.I., Suzanne. Way T.M.I.)

Now a best-selling author, Somers' current book is "I'm Too Young for This!: The Natural Hormone Solution to Enjoy Perimenopause." Sounds like she's enjoying it, alright.

Suzanne Somers is 67 years old, Alan Hamil is 77 years old. People will say anything to sell a book. Sex sells and she knows it. I saw this show and the minute she said she had sex twice a day the women on the panel were grabbing for this book, exactly the response she was hoping for.

I found the videos of her singing to her cat much more entertaining.

TMI for sure........who really cares? Yes, she has to sell her books! I suppose if people agree there is nothing wrong with it and what goes on behind closed doors between two consenting adults is private but I certainly wouldn't advertise it.


I have to tell you a story.....

I knew a lady who's husband had to have it 6 nights a week. He, like God rested on the 7th day and she was very grateful! She finally asked her Dr. about this and he said, "NOBODY needs it that much!" and then told her, her husband was a sex addict. No kidding! She needed to put something in his food! lol


You know, my mother used to say, "Give them that and you can have anything you want." The older I get, the more I believe it since so many of them tend to think with the little head instead of the big one. I've heard men say even the worst sex they had was pretty good. It's a proven fact statistically that men have a sexual thought every 60 seconds and they are always ready at the drop of a hat. OMG! We are NOT ex machines, guys and we would like to be appreciated for who we are, NOT what you can get out of us! OK....I'll be quiet now. JW

Sorry.....that should be 's'ex machines, not ex machines. JW

Thanks.

I needed to throw up my lunch.

Man, she never stops pimping herself ...

[Angel]

Am I glad that we are not exposed to her drivel here in the UK.
Pathetic woman.

Isn't it unusual that Barry is best friends with Suzanne and yet they seem to have very different personalities.
Barry is the very private person who seems to be quiet and will never publicly talk about his life the way Suzanne does, even though some of us may wish Barry would talk more.
Suzanne is the very public person who will publicly talk on anything and everything (including her sex life) to sell her products, even though some of us may wish Suzanne would talk much less. Marvin

[Brenda M]

They're also really different in terms of how they treat their fans.

For all that I might pick on Suzanne, I have to give her this: she's amazing with her fans! She doesn't fear them the way Barry evidently does.

Too bad she can't influence him more in THAT dept.

What beanz said.

It could explain why she always has such chaft knees and elbows. :O)

Amen to that!

Hi Brenda,
I don't agree with you entirely. I think Suzanne has a bigger ego than most and in that sense, I prefer the way Barry treats people- especially the way Barry has musicians that have worked with him for decades.
To some degree, Suzanne's ego cost hear dearly in terms of furthering her career on stage. Her big ego surfaced decades ago when she thought that she was more important that John Ritter in Three's Company and demanded the salary of a marquee attraction. Even though she appeared in other tv series and a show in Las Vegas and an ego driven musical about her life starring her, most of the critics were not impressed with her and she did not end up having plum roles in film or television again. Some casting directors and producers thought that her ego and financial demands were not worth having her star in any films or tv series.
She used her image and past memories of people remembering her in Three's Company to develop a second career selling products.
In contrast, as the years rolled on, Barry earned more respect in show business by his peers, audiences and critics alike- and I think much of Barry's success has to do with working well with others and keeping his ego in check. Barry's professional attitude has earned him praise, whereas Suzanne's attitude earned her scorn. Marvin

It wasn't ego...she thought the women on the show deserved the same pay as the men (gasp!). That was a pretty radical thought in the 70's, and the producers said no and fired her. She was blacklisted for many years in Hollywood, so she had to completely recreate her career. Since then, she's had a number of best-selling books, her own tv show, and more.

I don't agree with Suzanne on many things (particularly her stance on alternative medicines for breast cancer...I believe following her advice could endanger many women). However, I do respect her for standing up for equal pay for women and for successfully re-inventing herself.

I've met her a few times, and she always was extremely friendly when in talking with fans. I don't think it was ego; she genuinely is interested in their thoughts. She's a much more social and out-going personality than Barry, and I too have wondered about their friendship. They do have some things in common, though; both are children of alcoholics, both shared the experience of being viciously attacked by critics in the early stages of their careers, and of course, both are professional singers/performers in the public spotlight. Barry obviously respects her as a musician, and has performed with her on multiple occasions.

As for the sex twice a day...I've always believed quality was more important than quantity, but if you're both awake at 4 a.m., why not? :D She and Alan Hamel have had a long and apparently happy marriage--apparently it works for them. Have fun, Suzanne!

She wasn't lobbying for the women on the show, she was making demands for herself alone. She not only wanted a raise, but she also wanted 10% ownership of the show. When producers wouldn't meet her demands, she boycotted the show, making up BS excuses to not show up for tapings. The producers finally reduced her role to 1 minute segments taped remotely, forcing her to work out her contract and then letting her go. None of this had anything to do with standing up for equality for women. She got greedy and pretty much tanked her own career.

That's part of the story, but she (actually, Alan) only demanded the huge raise ($150K/episode and 10%) after the producers wouldn't meet her initial demand for $50K/week, which is exactly what Ritter was making. She certainly wasn't blameless in the fiasco that followed, but the producers were definitely paying the women less for the same work, and she was blacklisted for several years after being fired.

As for re-inventing herself, Ritter probably summed it up best: “I’ve thought she was done a few times, but she always manages to come back.” ;)

[Patricia]

She wasn't blacklisted for asking for a raise; she was blacklisted for her behavior when she wasn't given what she wanted. Any actor who plays games with the producers and harms the production, including the entire crew and her fellow castmates, is a bad risk for any show. "Give me what I want or <cough cough> I think I'm going to be too sick to work" isn't cool when there are many people's livelihoods on the line, not just your own.

[marvin]

I agree with Patricia that Suzanne was being totally unreasonable in regards to the fiasco in "Three's Company". She was not the star of the show. The show revolved around Jack (John Ritter) and his romantic adventures and showcased his physical comedy. Most of the story lines and best jokes in each episode revolved around his character. It is a total stretch for Suzanne to think that she was the equal of John in the show. I did not think the show was as good when Suzanne was gone, but it lasted for several years without her. If it was John Ritter that left the show, I doubt the series would have lasted for even one more season, so John Ritter was a lot more important than Suzanne was in the series.
Suzanne was never the real star in any of the TV series or movies that she did. When she played the stepmother in the TV series with Patrick Duffy (forgot the title of the show), most of the story lines revolved around the stepchildren and she was seen for only a few minutes in most of the 30 minute episodes.
I also think you have to have a very inflated ego to both star and perform in a musical on your own life, which Suzanne did. She was deservedly ridiculed for doing this by critics. I will admit that she has a lot of smarts and energy to sell all her products, but I still feel strongly that had she had not been so difficult for others to work with, she would still be acting today.

I am often wrong, so feel free to correct me...

But didn't Barry help her launch that musical?

> But didn't Barry help her launch that musical?

LOL. Initially it was reported that he arranged the music, but according to this article, his actual input was more limited:

---------
Manilow did not arrange the songs

Alan Hamel, Suzanne Somers' husband and manager, says close friend Barry Manilow's influence is in the show, but he is not behind Somers' act, "Who Knew She Could Sing."

By Kevin Wingert

fe...@wyomingnews.com

CHEYENNE - Ads in both radio and print here over the past week have promoted the Suzanne Somers' show April 13 at the Cheyenne Civic Center as having music either arranged or written by Barry Manilow.

There's just one catch: Manilow neither wrote nor arranged the music for Somers' act, called "Who Knew She Could Sing."

"He did not arrange the music," said Alan Hamel, Somers' husband and manager. "Barry is Suzanne's closest friend. His influence is in the show, but he did not write the show."

In an interview last week, Somers clarified Manilow's input into her show:

"He was making a suggestion: 'Here, why don't you do this, add this,'" Somers said. "I just happen to have a best friend who is a musical genius. It's rather lovely."

The show, a mini-musical designed to tell a story, features some standards and music from different eras as well as a substantial amount of original material written for Somers by Ken and Mitzie Welch.

As the Civic Center falls under the governance of the city, Cheyenne Mayor Jack Spiker said Monday that the advertisements will be pulled and new ones issued with correct information.

"From the city's standpoint, we need to put out the correct information," Spiker said, adding that the mistake likely will not impact ticket sales for the concert. "I don't think people will say, 'I want my money back.'"

The executive director for the Civic Center, Dru Rohla, was on vacation and unavailable for comment on this story.

But he did conduct an e-mail interview last week regarding the show, calling Somers a "very accomplished singer, actress, author and entrepreneur in the industry."

He added that he was particularly struck by Somers' singing ability after watching a video of a performance.

"Suzanne is good friends with Barry Manilow, and when I heard she was performing her new show 'Who Knew She Could Sing,' arranged and composed for her by Barry Manilow, I had to book her," Rohla wrote.

Manilow is a superstar whose work is known worldwide. It includes recording and writing songs and appearances on film, stage and television.

Contacted on Friday about the discrepancy in his quote, Rohla said he got the information from the MPI Talent Agency with which he booked the Somers show.

Mary Malubay of MPI confirmed that she had said the arrangement was done by Manilow. She said she had read that information in a newspaper from California.

But she said she told Rohla he needed to verify the information with Somers' people.

"I'm not in a position to freely give out that information - I'm the booking agent," Malubay said. "I was the one who booked the date with Dru, (but) I'm not anywhere involved in publicity at all."

The error seems to underscore the complexity of an entertainment industry where bookings and publicity frequently are handled by different entities.

Spiker said that regardless of whether there's an impact on the performance, the city still has a duty to correct the advertisements and publicity information.

"We still need to reflect what's actually going to happen at that concert," the mayor said.

They are very different when it comes to interacting with fans, but I had a really fun meeting with them at the Operation Safehouse event in Palm Springs.

I was wearing a Suzanne-designed bracelet and watch, and Barry took my arm and pulled it over to Suzanne and said "look at this, isn't it pretty?" She was very gracious and never once said it was hers. He went on and on about my bracelet and watch.

I remember how Janet Depew had nothing but wonderful things to say about Suzanne and how she treated her fans.

So, that's good enough for me. :-)

P.S. I really miss her.
