Craig Ferguson and Kristen Bell got to tour the Palace of Versaille during 'The Late Late Show' (Weeknights, 12:37AM ET on CBS) week-long visit to Paris, France. They discovered things both fun and disgusting.

One of the curators of the palace talked to them about a position that used to exist where a member of the nobility would have the "privilege" of taking the paper for the king to the loo. Or, as Bell put it, "They wiped his butt."

Later, Ferguson asked the curator if he'd come into one of the larger rooms, ran and slid across the room. We then cut to Ferguson and Bell doing just that, and we admit it looked like a great deal of fun. We don't recommend necessarily doing that if you should go there, or in any other landmarks like that ... unless you're "the king" as Ferguson was told he was.

Patricia Heaton, star of 'The Middle' and 'Everybody Loves Raymond,' is known in left-leaning Hollywood for her conservative stance on weighty issues like abortion and stem cell research.

Although Heaton is happy to explain how important her Christian faith is to her, and how it shapes her views and career choices, she feels that her views have caused her to lose potential roles in the past.

"My feeling is all these things come from God and as long as I know I'm staying in line with Him, I don't have to worry if there is backlash," she told me during a visit to AOL's New York offices. "God will open any doors he wants to open and if he closes doors that's fine to."

Telling me that she has many gay friends and doesn't oppose gay marriage, Patricia gets frustrated being automatically lumped together with other conservatives, a characterization she says has cost her possible work.

"We know for a fact there are some people who have said they wouldn't want to work with us because of our politics," she said, with her husband David Hunt adding, "We get lumped in with lunatics."
