"Truth be told, 2 Broke Girls had somewhat of an uneven first season (call me old school, but I&amp;#x27;m not a big believer in crude humor). With that said, the show wouldn&amp;#x27;t be the hit it is without breakout stars Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs. They&amp;#x27;re intriguing, smart, and downright hilarious--and you want more of them. Kat Dennings Kat Dennings, gorgeous, curvaceous, and fierce, has starred in hit films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Nick and Norah&amp;#x27;s Infinite Playlist, and she had an infamous appearance as a 13-year-old bat-mitzvah brat on Sex and the City. (See here!) I caught up with the 26-year-old from Bryn Mawr, Penn., at the CBS Party this summer to talk all about those TV cupcakes, the co-star she is dating, and those striking red lips just in time for the premiere tonight. But first... Where we left off on 2 Broke Girls: On the romance front, Johnny (Nick Zano) shows up at the diner and tells Max he is moving to Manhattan and getting married, but not to his most recent girlfriend--to someone else altogether new. (Jeez, way to stick a knife in a girl&amp;#x27;s heart.) On the career front, Max and Caroline (Behrs) decide to sneak into the Metropolitan Museum of Art ball where Martha Stewart is scheduled to be a guest. In the ladies&amp;#x27; room, they encounter Stewart and convince her to try their beer-batter-maple-bacon-spring-break cupcake. Will it be the big breakthrough they&amp;#x27;ve been waiting for? And might there still be something left with Johnny and Max? KAT DENNINGS Q&amp;amp;A Glamour: First things first--how do those cupcakes on the show really taste? Kat Dennings: They&amp;#x27;re actually really good! They have an amazing girl named Amber who bakes the cupcakes, and periodically I will frost them in real time. Anytime you see me piping a cupcake, I&amp;#x27;m doing it. Amber taught me! But they are amazing! From time to time, when my blood-sugar feels low, I&amp;amp;#8217;ll just take a swipe of icing. Glamour: Do you have a favorite cupcake place in L.A.? Kat: Sprinkles! Magnolia [Bakery] is super delicious, but it&amp;amp;#8217;s heavier. Sprinkles is light, and I can eat 25 cupcakes and be OK. Glamour: I read that when you first decided to pursue a career in acting, your parents said it was the worst idea ever. Kat: It IS the worst idea ever! Ha! Glamour: And now what do they say? Thank God you didn&amp;#x27;t listen to us? Kat: Oh, now they are over the moon! I was one of those kids where I clearly wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t going to be in school much longer, you know what I mean? I&amp;amp;#8217;m not a kid who can learn that way. I was a very unique child. I think they knew I belonged in the arts. I got so lucky. My dad is a biochemist, but he actually wanted to be a painter when he was younger, so he had it in his blood. And my mom is a poet, so they all had their own secret art. Glamour: Is it true that you&amp;amp;#8217;re dating Nick Zano, who plays Johnny on the show? Kat: Yes! I have nothing to hide! It&amp;amp;#8217;s the truth! He&amp;amp;#8217;s the best! I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t know him before the show. Glamour: Do you want the relationship to play out more on the show, or do you like the back and forth they are having between you guys? Kat: It&amp;amp;#8217;s hard because now I&amp;amp;#8217;m like, &amp;amp;#8216;Yes, yes, Max and Johnny should get married!&amp;amp;#8217; But I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know! [Although I know I&amp;#x27;d want to] have Sprinkles cupcakes as dessert! If I separate my own feelings from it, I actually do think there is a story there, because he is the only man that has gotten that kind of response from Max. I think if he doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t come into her life again, he&amp;amp;#8217;ll be that one that always breaks her heart. So I hope something happens, but either way, I&amp;amp;#8217;ve got him [in real life]. Glamour: You once said, &amp;amp;#8216;I don&amp;amp;#8217;t smoke, I don&amp;amp;#8217;t drink, and I don&amp;amp;#8217;t like being around people that do.&amp;amp;#8217; I love that you took such a stance with that and owned that statement, especially in Hollywood, where it feels like that&amp;amp;#8217;s all people do. There&amp;amp;#8217;s actually a lot of pressure to conform to these Hollywood standards. That is a total #GlamourDo. Kat: Oh, good! I actually wrote that in my blog entry. I am very outspoken, obviously, and I should say that I can&amp;amp;#8217;t judge anyone for doing anything. I learned that a long time ago when I wrote about it in my blog. To this day, I still don&amp;amp;#8217;t like being around drunk people. It&amp;amp;#8217;s not good for you. It&amp;amp;#8217;s like seeing someone jump out of a plane without a parachute. There&amp;amp;#8217;s a lot of pressure in this town. I went to Europe recently though, and I did drink wine there. Now I get it when they say wine goes with the food, and it&amp;amp;#8217;s a whole experience, so I&amp;amp;#8217;m not opposed to wine now and then, because Europe changed that, but I don&amp;amp;#8217;t like to drink and get drunk. Glamour: On the show, they always have you wearing red lipstick. Do you like the heavier lip? Kat: I do! Because Max is very powerful, and I like expressing that through the makeup too. Meanwhile, don&amp;#x27;t forget to tune in TONIGHT to the second season premiere of 2 Broke Girls on CBS at 9/8c. Are you a fan of Max and Johnny together? And what do you want to see happen with the girls&amp;#x27; cupcake endeavors? Should Martha Stewart be the one to catapult them to success?
