Ricki Lake Spills on First Threesome, 'Powerful' Psychedelic Drugs, 'Not Nice' Lucille Ball and Britney Spears

Ricki Lake has lived a very long, interesting life in her 50 years on Earth -- and she was happy to walk down memory lane Tuesday night with her good friend, Andy Cohen.

At 24 years old, Ricki became the youngest person to host a syndicated talk show, "The Ricki Lake Show." She also starred in the 1988 version of "Hairspray." But the actress, television presenter and producer has done way more than that -- much of which she revealed on "Watch What Happens Live."

Read on to see what she had to say about spicing up her sex life in her 40s, hanging out with a "not nice" comedy legend, doing psychedelic drugs and losing her virginity on the set of a movie.

When she turned 50, Ricki made an incredible list of the things she did in her 40s, "which would make both a 20-year-old blush and an 80-year-old feel unaccomplished," Andy joked.

During a game called "Ricki Lake or Fake," an announcer read off some of those things -- and some fake ones -- and asked Ricki to reveal which were true.

Within the last 10 years, Ricki had her first threesome.

"It's true," Ricki said blushing.

Within the last 10 years, Ricki got a hidden piercing on her body.

"It's not true," she fessed up.

Within the last 10 years, Ricki lived through a house fire she accidentally started.

"It's true," Ricki said. Andy added, "And the house burned down. She burned her house down. And lived to tell! In Malibu."

"Literally, ran out of a burning house with no bra, no shoes, the clothes on my back, the children and my dog," she said.

Within the last 10 years, Ricki has tried ayahuasca 11 times.

For those who don't know, ayahuasca is a South American tea containing the potent psychedelic chemical N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which is a human neurotransmitter. The ayahuasca vine is combined with the leaves from the shrub Psychotria viridis (or other DMT-containing plants) to create the tea. Drinking the tea causes somewhat of a "trip" but isn't necessarily similar to that of a traditional hallucinogen.

"It's true," Ricki said. Andy asked, "Do you love it?"

"I wouldn't say I love it," she replied. "But it's a very, very powerful medicine that has been very beneficial in my life."

Within the last 10 years, Ricki dated a con artist and a sociopath for six weeks.

"It was my six weeks of poor judgement," Ricki confessed. "Yes, it's true. This I willed. I wanted a boyfriend for my birthday, and I got one."

Andy then read off a question from a fan: "Ricki, what was the most surreal part about performing during that 'Young Hollywood' number at the '89 Oscars?"

Ricki laughed and said, "I mean, everyone blasted it and said, 'It was awful! It was one of the worst Oscars!' But it was a dream come true for me. I mean, I was so starstruck. I couldn't believe it. I got to sing, dance, tap dance, make out with Christian Slater -- like, all of it in one number. I would do it again in a heartbeat. And Lucille Ball and Bob Hope introduced us."

"Wasn't [Lucy] kind of salty with you?" Andy asked.

"She wasn't very nice," Ricki admitted. "Salty is putting it mildly. She was not nice. She was smoking a cigarette, and we were in this cardboard green room. I mean, I was pinching myself."

"What did she say to you?" Andy asked. Ricki's co-guest, Juliette Lewis, added, "Did she call you a bitch?"

"No, no, no, she didn't do anything directly at me, but she was not happy to be there," Ricki said. "And she died shortly after that."

Andy read off another fan question: "Ricki, now that '...Baby One More Time' just turned 20 years old, what do you remember about Britney Spears performing it on your talk show?"

"That was one of her first live performances," Andy added.

"Oh, my God. Yes it was!" Ricki replied. "We had a lot -- NSYNC at the very beginning, we had Usher when he was like 14 years old. But yeah, I remember [Britney]. She had such charisma on stage, and you just knew she had it."

"Did you lose your virginity on 'Hairspray' or 'Cry-Baby'?" Andy bluntly asked his guest.

"'Cry-Baby,'" Ricki replied. The audience went wild.

"But not to Johnny Depp?" Andy asked.

"Not to Johnny Depp," she replied. "Another actor, a really handsome actor. He was very kind to me, and I was very large. I was very happy to get it over with 'cause I was almost 21."

"He was really sweet," she added. "My first time was really a good one."
