From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Celebrity Week!

Here are today's stars:
One of the stars of Baywatch, here's Traci Bingham! (playing for American Oceans Campaign)
From Beverly Hills, 90210, Ian Ziering! (playing for California Summer School for the Arts)
And starring as Brenda from General Hospital, here's Vanessa Marcil! (playing for Sojourn to shelter battered women and children)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and only for cash. Our stars will do what they can for charity!
