didn't. Staying open has served her well. "I want to try stuff. I want to do all kinds of things." And she is. Last April, the actress, whose TV/film credits include Sharknado 4 and Reno 911!, appeared in Dead 7, a zombie western written by the Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter. (The Backstreet Boys are old friends who had a residency on her show a couple of years back.) Filmed in Montana over a three-week period, it starred several former 90s boy banders. "Every night, we would end up partying in Joey Fatone's room. There was one night, where it was just me, Joey, A.J. [McLean], and Erik [Estrada] and the three of them, from three different bands that were all famous around the same time, were just shooting the shit about what it was like to be in a boy band… And I'm like, 'This is like every girls' dream! To be sitting in a room watching you guys just dork out on each other.' I lived out that fantasy." She laughs. They had such a good time that they're talking about shooting another film together. As a huge fan of horror and gore, Carrie had a blast filming Bigfoot horror movie, The Fiancé, which came out in November. "Most of the violence is done by me and I'm very proud of that fact." And now you can catch Carrie on BravoTV.com hosting Bravo After Hours with Carrie Keagan, where she takes the Bravolebrities out on the town for drinks and to get to know them. The original digital series' first episode featured Vanderpump Rules' Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz. Unlike when she hosted a morning show and had to be "more morning" and less her, here, she is in her element. People get to know her a lot better as she runs around with Bravo's stars. "I get to be me!" Fun, bubbly, uncensored… (I even got to pop her first-book-signed cherry, which she thanked me for), Carrie is definitely someone you want to get to know better. ML Keep up with Carrie on NGTV.com and on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram: @CarrieKeagan. What is the biggest lesson you've learned doing this? "That's it's really important to just find who you are. I suppose the reason why I wanted to write the book was because it was a journey trying to figure out how to be me. That's honestly my biggest lesson: being OK in my own skin and putting that out into the world. And you know, I've had some success doing it, which has been really, really great. And that's a little bit of validation that being yourself is cool."
