Bonnie-Jill Laflin: Well it’s open field now, it’s going to be kind of tough, I don’t know-

Larry King: Rosario rode a horse in the Florida Derby, no, the Wood Memorial.

Bonnie-Jill Laflin: Oh, what’s that one-

Larry King: Chris Paul.

Bonnie-Jill Laflin: Yeah, Chris Paul, yeah.

Larry King: What a wonderful player.

Bonnie-Jill Laflin: Yeah, he is.

Larry King: He’ll stay with the Clippers cause they can’t—he maxes out his salary.

Bonnie-Jill Laflin: Uh.

Larry King: Is there a college kid you wanted them to draft, and he went somewhere else?

Bonnie-Jill Laflin: I’m trying to think, so many years that I—I’m trying to think who’d be someone that I—Drew Williams.

Larry King: Biggest misconception about being a professional cheerleader.

Bonnie-Jill Laflin: That we’re airheaded, stupid, and don’t know the game.

Larry King: Jane still goes to Africa?

Bonnie-Jill Laflin: Yeah, and saving the monkeys, I just think she’s so inspiring, so I’ve always really loved her.

Larry King: What kind of dogs you have?

Bonnie-Jill Laflin: I’ve got three rescues, one that I rescued from China, because they eat the dogs over there, so I brought one back from China, and then two, one was in the Puppy Bowl and one from the shelter, and then three cats. And horses too, I rescue horses.

Larry King: Three dogs and three cats? They get along?

Bonnie-Jill Laflin: Sometimes. [Laughs]

Larry King: Person you’d like to switch places with for a day.

Bonnie-Jill Laflin: Angelina Jolie. I love her.
