Pop Quiz: Lisa Loeb


Aidin Vaziri | What did singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb, who is best known for the '90s hit "Stay," do after her six-year relationship with fellow musician Dweezil Zappa fell apart? She got herself a reality television show and went looking for a new man, that's what. Every week on "#1 Single," which airs on E!, cameras follow the 37-year-old Brown graduate on a series of bad dates and self-help exercises in her unwavering quest to find a husband and start making babies. Of course, the odd scenes of Loeb prancing around in her undies don't hurt ratings either. "The Very Best of Lisa Loeb" is out now (and, yes, it contains more than one song).


Lisa Loeb
Q: I've watched the scene of you walking around in a thong so many times my eyes are going to fall out of my head.
A: Oh, no.
Q: You probably don't have too much trouble getting dates now.
A: I've gotten a lot of offers lately. It's kind of crazy. It's kind of like when they ran my last breakup across the bottom of the screen on CNN.
Q: Does it make you feel better to hear about other celebrities breaking up, like Richie Sambora and Heather Locklear?
A: Well, on one hand, it makes me less lonely knowing that it doesn't always work for everybody. On the other hand, it makes me a bit sad because I've met like Richie Sambora and Heather Locklear and they seem so cute and nice and talented. It's just so disappointing that they did everything they could and it just didn't work out and that they have kids and stuff. Or Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong, I'm sure she was excited to finally settle down with this guy who was this young, talented, driven guy with kids, and it just doesn't work out. Again, it's that sharing of experience. It doesn't make me happy. It makes me feel they're humans, too, and they're going through the same thing.
Q: Yes, but it also means Richie Sambora and Lance Armstrong are now available!
