Broadway actress/comedienne Julie Halston has come to a laptop near you! After ranting and raving on stages and cocktail parties, the comedy queen has launched "Virtual Halston," a weekly hour-long gab-fest spotlighting her famous friends. This next week, long-time friend and producer Jim Caruso will be Ms. Halston's guest, which will air on Friday, September 11 at 5pm ET on the Cast Party Network on YouTube. Expect the besties to dish the insider show biz gossip and delve into their celebrity encounters! Oh yes, there will be name-dropping!

"Virtual Halston" will also offer a quick-fire segment called "Affirmations and Devotionals," which will salute hilarious and slightly insane celebrity-driven video clips and stories.
"Virtual Halston" will be seen every Friday at 5pm EDT, and is produced by Ruby Locknar and Jim Caruso, with animation and artwork by B.T. Whitehill.
