In the first of a series highlighting women who are famous in various genres of entertainment and unabashed about their “metal” status, Pittsburgh Music Magazine reached out to Thee Metal Girl for many of us. You probably best know her as “Miss Box of Junk” from That Metal Show, but Jennifer Leah Gottlieb is poised to make herself more of a household name. Jennifer has talents way beyond looking gorgeous and bringing out the prize box during Stump the Trunk. Read on to learn a little more about the girl we wish would spend more time in our living rooms…(on our TV’s!!!).
Do you ever have opportunities to hang out with any of the musicians pre or post show?
Yes,I do! I have had the chance to meet some of the greatest musicians of all time. I have the coolest job ever.
Since That Metal Show only films a few weeks per year, what are you
up to at the moment and what do you have in the works?
I am a personal trainer full time right now. I spend my days kicking
my client’s booties into shape. I have a few acting gigs in the works, but can’t talk about them yet. Will share soon! 😉
What was it like playing Linda in the Broadway touring version of
“That Wedding Singer”?
Linda was my dream role, so it was totally
surreal. Being on the road was challenging, but I would say it was
the greatest experience I have ever had.
I learned more about myself in that year than I ever have. I also
created life long friendships.
Since you are a personal trainer-‐what are your
favorite techniques to teach your clients (i.e. crossfit,etc.)?
I do a lot of HIIT workouts with my clients. (High intensity interval training). I believe it is the best way to burn fat.
I am also a BLITZ coach at Reebok Sports club, which is a
crossfit style class.
It’s been pretty well documented that you love AC/DC’s Brain Johnson-‐who else do you love in the rock n roll world?
Joe Satriani, Steven Adler and Lita Ford.
Who would you love to see on That Metal Show who has not shown up
yet?
OZZY!
Any possibilities of seeing you interview some guests in the future?
I would love to! We will see…!
Any inside stories you care to share with our readers?
The guys have a star chart for who can get ready and mic’d up
first for each episode. Don wins EVERY time! We also have a
great tradition of going to The Rainbow on Sunset for our cast
party every season.
What happens at the Rainbow, stays at the Rainbow…but we have a
rockin’ time!
