Want to know how the stars live? Well that's exactly what we're showing you today.
Welcome back everybody to Access Hollywood and our Access at Home special. I'm Nancy O'Dell.
And I'm Larry Mendte. Georgiana Robertson is one of fashion's freshest faces.
A beautiful model who clocks a lot of mileage in the runway for Victoria's Secrets and Top Designers.
But even models need to slow down for a New York minute once in a while.
And guys, and you too. We were there when Georgiana took a breather from fashion's whirlwind pace.

Sexy, sultry and strutting for stardom. This glam girl has already graced the hottest covers.
Even starred on the big screen. I spend the night with my sister, how about you?
Meet Prada Forte's gorgeous Georgiana Robertson. Modeling's next household name.
Are you hitting on me? Most men would give their right Armani to be in our shoes.
Hanging at home with this supermodel in training. Hello, I'm going to cook you something, babies.
Georgiana gave us a sneak peek at her simple yet elegant New York pad.
The apartment itself is really cozy and comfortable. I'm not a fussy person.
I travel so much, it's so intense. So when I come home I just want to forget about everything and just like hang out.
What's the perfect day? Believe it or not, this six foot stutter just loves fixing up her one bedroom walk up.
It's sort of my relaxation, working on my apartment. Because it makes me feel like, you know, I belong.
With a few days off from her hectic schedule, Georgiana showed us some of her prized possessions.
This is ruffy. And of course let us in on the real trade secrets.
Look! This is what models eat. Cornflakes. Come on, you have to see. Come, take a look. Look.
Cornflakes. Cornflakes. Cornflakes. Cornflakes. This is all I eat.
Come on, what does it really take to have those shapely 47 inch legs?
I have a lot of fish, food, chicken and vegetables. And I love Haagen-Dazs ice cream.
Always the hands.
You know, as models we don't eat, we don't read.
Georgiana loves showing off her chameleon look.
Does this remind you of?
What love got to do with this stuff?
I think in the fashion business at times you have to be able to change your look because if you remain constant, I think they get bored with you.
Like the Mark Bauer show that I did with the big afro, I mean it was amazing.
A lot of people didn't know it was me and it was really cool. It's fun. You know, you're like a total different person.
Georgiana says those runway secrets are all in the walk.
When the designer puts a dress on you and you're walking on a runway, it's like you're in a totally different world.
It's like a sort of like a fantasy world. You're projecting a certain image and you just feel differently.
But Jamaican Beauty escapes to her own fantasy world by coming up to the roof, her true home away from home.
When the sun's out I just come upstairs and take everything off.
Everything?
I get to splash the neighbors.
Woo hoo!
Looks like she has a lot of fun in that home.
While there aren't any models in Howie Mandel's life, he's more of a cartoon kind of guy and that suits the comedian just fine.
He's a family man who was ready to tickle my funny bone when he showed me around his whimsical home that fits his personality just perfectly.
I think this is right. This is supposed to be Howie Mandel's home. I know I followed the right direction.
At first I can't say I was too impressed with Howie Mandel's house. Howie seemed very proud of it though.
I rented and leased up until this point but then this one I put a lot of work into. I actually put my heart into this one.
You probably painted it yourself too didn't you?
Honey, Access Hollywood's here!
But once I stepped inside, I got a very different impression.
This is beautiful. It looks like bright colors.
You like this room?
I like this room.
Oh my god, this isn't even my house.
For 12 years, Howie has made his home here, an hour north of the showbiz world of Los Angeles.
Howie's house is just like his personality. Colorful, slightly bizarre and a whole lot of fun.
I feel like I live in a comic strip and that's important.
And the cartoon influences everywhere at Casa Mandel.
Growing up I was always a fan of the Flintstones. I said one day I want to have kind of a bedrock-y feel.
Yeah, you don't really have a bedrock-y feel.
This is Peter Maxx and I was in an Italian restaurant. And this is his napkin.
What's this?
That's a cat in underpants. But how many times have you seen that? I mean you see that in every house.
Devoted family man Howie proudly displays a chair his son built.
What we did is we came in here and we didn't have any furniture or anything and I said to the kids,
Hey, if you want to sit down, make your own chair. And they did.
A separate building houses Howie's workout room and an office filled with memorabilia from his career.
This is one of the first shows I did and it was a real treat for me just to get up and be on the same stage.
What a night, what a night. You have to be there. Just to think of that night, it brings back...
They look so old and you look like the photo is fresh.
Let's move on.
And what's a home without faithful dogs?
They're family. What are their names?
This is...
But all kidding aside, when Howie showed off his view, he also showed me his serious side.
Well, at least for a moment.
This is who I am. If there was a picture of what's going on inside me...
This would be it.
This is what's going on inside me. And when you think of me, you think of a country guy, don't you?
Yes, whatever you say Howie. Nancy O'Dell, Access Hollywood.
Oh, what a funny guy. In that small house, that was actually his kid's playhouse.
Just wanted to make sure you figured that out.
Howie told me that whenever he has a gig on the West Coast, he'll have dinner with his kids,
fly into the show and then fly right back in time to take his kids to school in the morning.
What a great dad.
And that is dedication for a busy guy like Howie, whose HBO comedy special,
Howie Mandel on Ice, airs Monday nights.
Next, actor Rick Schroeder introduces us to one of the 800 cows on his 16,000 acre ranch.
I can take stuff apart. I just can't put it back together.
And later, a bakery just for dog snacks? How about pulp-inking for your pooches?
Find out why it really is a dog day afternoon for pampered pets here in Hollywood when Access at Home continues.
Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute and just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air.
Hi everybody, welcome back to Access Hollywood and our one hour special
where we are taking you into the homes of the stars. I'm Nancy Odell.
And I'm Larry Mendte. You know, Rick Schroeder made his acting debut at the tender age of three months old
and then went on to become a big teenage star with his 80s sitcom, Silver Spoons.
But our Amy Powell discovered that having so much fame so soon took a real toll on Rick,
who left the Hollywood grind for greener pastures.
So what has Grand Junction got that Hollywood hasn't got? Come on, Rick.
Oh, goodness. It's God's country. Look at it. It's wide, it's open, it's beautiful, it's clean.
Let me show you my ranch.
Rick Schroeder, candle rancher? That's right. The former child star is all grown up
and owns a breathtaking 16,000 acre ranch in Rustic, Colorado that he shares with his wife and children.
It's a far cry from Hollywood, but Schroeder says this change of address has given him a new lease on life.
LA, you know, wasn't healthy for me. I was running with a fast crowd and I could have gotten in trouble.
And so it was better for me to get someplace like this.
And growing up in Hollywood with a Porsche and money and fame, it was, I think, a recipe for disaster.
That cow could kick.
Okay, so don't get too close.
Rick is now in charge of his life and his ranch and showed this city slicker a thing or two about country living.
It's so beautiful. You're doing great. Am I?
You're doing great. I feel like a real horse woman, a rancher now, Rick.
Did you ever decide, once you moved here and got into ranching, maybe, you know, maybe you've had it with Hollywood,
maybe you don't want to act anymore? I mean, was it ever like that for you?
Yeah. I mean, I've definitely gone to my wife when I have a tough time, you know, and I'll say,
honey, I just can't do it anymore. I just want to give up. And she lets me, you know, speak, but she knows deep down that I'm just talking.
It's all hot air because it's what I do.
Besides acting and ranching, Rick has thrown his heart into his sky-high home, from the country-style kitchen to the cozy master bedroom.
It's Schroeder's custom-made dream house.
We picked this house, planned ourselves, me and my wife. We're very proud of it.
You should be. You did all the decorating yourself.
Well, she did all the decorating, and I was more the construction and the paint.
And this is a lovely centerpiece in the room. That guy looks familiar.
Yeah, that's Newt from Lonesome Dove.
That is you.
That is me. I was about 17 when one of the cowboys at the World's Fair Lonesome Dove painted that for me as a gift.
One thing I was thinking is, by the age of 16, you know you had done more work than many actors do in their lifetime. And I see some fond memories of these walls.
Yeah, right here is a movie with John Boynton Fadenoway called Champ. That was the first movie I made. I was seven years old.
Down here is Little Lord Fauntleroy. It's a movie I did with Alan Guinness, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Oh, of course.
The Star Wars.
You worked with some amazing people.
I sure have worked with some really greats.
And Rick gets back to work with two upcoming made-for-TV movies, Detention, Seized at Johnson High, and Too Close to Home, which co-stars Judith Light.
But this time it's no more kid stuff. He's all grown up, successfully breaking his child star mold.
That's just another time. I've had to redefine a career, remake a career.
You know, when you go from seven to 27, which is what I turned last weekend, you have to start over and again, in a way. You have to start over.
Amy Powell, Access Hollywood.
All right, thanks, Amy. Rick Shorter, by the way, is one of the many stars who are big, big animal lovers.
But if you think Hollywood celebrities get the star treatment, wait till you see how their four-legged friends fare.
Make no bones about it. Hollywood pooches are some of the most pampered pets around.
This dog's dad is at the NFL quarterback.
He's a Heisman Trophy winner.
Yes, and your mommy was nominated for a big award.
And your daddy is a writer on a very funny TV show.
Meet some of the most powerful dogs in Hollywood. I mean Hollywood.
At the dog house in L.A., you might very well tangle leashes with Elizabeth Shue, Rodney Peet, or Holly Robinson.
Liz Gabriel is top dog at the daycare center and knows more about her celebrity dog owner customers than any columnist for the Enquirer.
We know, you know, when they're shooting movies, we know when they've had a fight with their boyfriend, and we care for each of their homes.
So we protect their privacy and we take care of their babies.
When it comes to pampering your pet, the dog house has it all.
Every dog that comes for grooming gets a thirsty dog spritzer, which is actually carbonated beef flavored water.
We also have thirsty cat in case the dog in your life would prefer tasty tuna flavored water.
At the dog house, story time is a favorite pastime.
Kirby, the little westie, loves this one. Look, Kirby, here's my stuff.
This is the time out room. This is where dogs go when they need to have a little separation from the rest of the path.
Do you want to come out? Do you? Because I'll give it to you.
There's even doggy doodling.
This is an example of some of the paw paintings that our students have done.
Applying a little water based on trucks of paint to Kirby's feet. Oh Kirby, that's beautiful.
Can't have day camp without water.
Can you think of a better way to cool off on a hot LA day than in our pool?
There's always time for the two.
Look, our favorite show, Axel's Hollywood.
Well, poochas gracias, Liz.
The pet pampering continues in New York City at the Bow Wow Bakery.
They cater to hungry canines, and owner Adrienne Savino knows her products all too well.
Well, I can personally say that I have tasted and tried every recipe, and some are better than others.
My personal preference are the peanut butter banana fire hydrants, but they taste a little dry to us humans, but the dogs love them.
So you're going to take some pictures? Yeah, we're going to shoot you.
We're going to shoot a little buffalo dog as photo shoot.
We're not going to shoot your dog.
The bold and the beautiful Charles Grant is used to posing for magazine covers,
but when he wants to be captured with his canine, he calls in photography professional Jim Dratchfield.
Photography is really fine art photography.
I like to create beautiful photographs and not just cutesy and yucky stuff.
Oh, there we are. There we are. Nice. Beautiful. Beautiful.
I bring him to the show all the time. He's pretty calm.
Everybody gets more attention here than because anywhere else everybody pets him.
I put the monitor on in our dressing room for the scenes I'm doing so you can hear my voice when he stays in the dressing room.
Alright, if that isn't enough pampering for you, there are also pet therapists who make house calls for $125.
There's a company called Party Pups that will plant a bark mitzvah for your dog.
They have like matzo bones, which can send you back as much as $1,000.
Next, murder at 1600 star Daniel Bizzoli and I rock him up at his modern home.
That one almost winning. That one almost winning. But almost as a count, only in horseshoes.
And later, a couple of big time pop stars show us all around their amazing homes.
I'm a junk collector, and unfortunately the whole family is, but sometimes I just garage sell finds and sometimes mine.
Nothing looks like junk to me.
More Star Homes are on the way when Access Hollywood continues.
