Rosario Dawson interview
Dawson returns as a guest on Conan to promote her latest film, Top Five. She also talks about making out with Jenny Slate in a New York Times video, and being inspired by James Franco to post “selfies” on social media.
I remember when they asked me to do it, I don’t know if that’s weird to say, but there was another actress they were talking about doing it with. Sure, that would be great. They changed and said it would be Jenny. Awesome, I have never met her before. She is hilarious and awesome and beautiful and cool and smart. So we got there, we said hello, nice to meet you like it was kind of great. It was kind of awesome.
Talk is Jericho interview
Ambrose is a guest on Talk is Jericho to discuss scripted promos in WWE.
A lot of guys come out and they do the exact same thing, are in the exact same mood and have the exact same entrance every night… I really just make up a lot of crap as I go along. The first time that somebody handed me a sheet of paper with a promo on it, it was like a ‘throw up in your mouth’ kind of moment. And it’s not like their fault, you know? It’s not the writers’ fault. But if was my world, there would be no written promos, there’d be no scripts… That wouldn’t be a thing.
CBS Radio interview
Riley talks to CBS Radio about his recent return to action in the WWE.
I wasn’t nervous man, I was just excited. I was just so excited to get an opportunity to get back out there again because I really have missed it so much, being inside the ring and continuing to be an athlete doing all that stuff. When I drew the lucky Tyson Kidd draw for a match, because I really didn’t have any idea who I was gonna be with, that just kinda made me more excited because he’s such a pro. What a competitor and a great opponent.
Chad Dukes Wrestling Show interview
Wyatt is a guest on the Chad Dukes Wrestling Show to discuss Dean Ambrose, The Wyatt Family and Vince McMahon’s “brass ring” comments on the current roster not being ambitious enough.
I heard about the brass ring and all that, as far as I’m concerned my fingertips are already grasping that sucker right now. And if I don’t, if I never grab that sucker, I’m at least gonna yank it down and everyone’s coming down with me.
Taylor Swift interview
Walters interviews Swift about her good girl image and the responsibility she feels to her fans.
Well I do drink, I’m 25. But I did wait until I was 21 because I was worried about getting into trouble. I put everyone of my actions through a filter before I do them because that’s the way my life is. If that story gets out or some 10-year-old sees that I did that in a news article, like my actions do have ripples.
CNN interview
Johnson tells CNN she hopes her essay in Vanity Fair, will prompt victims of sexual assault to come forward.
This, to me, is not about Bill Cosby. This, to me, is about violence against women. What I want to see happen is that women come out and speak their truth.
On Air interview
Diaz gives an interview to Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her role in the film Annie.
It’s kind of like a brand new film. There’s new characters, it takes place in the modern age, the modern day. The generation of kids who are going to see this Annie without having seen the original, this is going to be their Annie. This is what they’re going to know, this is the cast that they’re going to know. And because the cast is so diverse, I think they’ll be able to see themselves in it. More diverse groups of kids will be able to see themselves in it, which I’m really proud of.
Robert Patrick interview
Patrick appears as a guest on Conan and talks about being in a motorcycle club, and not a “bike gang”. He also shares a near-death experience where he found himself in the middle of a desert after his rear tire blows out. He also talks about his audition for Terminator 2, in which he did an icy and piercing glare.
These are the things you think about when all of a sudden you realize you could have died. I’m out here and you feel like the desert is going to swallow you up and take you in. I take out my knife and starting to cut the tire off the rim. I realize I’m riding the rim right on in.
Rebecca Romjin interview
Romjin returns as a guest on Conan to promote her latest television show, Skin Wars. She also talks about her experiences with body painting, and challenges O’Brien to try wearing only body paint on one of his shows.
It’s funny, once you’re painted, go with me on this, you don’t feel nude. You actually do feel very covered up. You can tell from people’s body language that they don’t feel naked.
WRBL 3 interview
Hogan appears on WRBL 3 News to discuss this year’s WWE Tribute to the Troops event.
When I see these soldiers doing what they do, they’re the best at what they do. It really makes me proud because every one, so far, has come up to me and said, ‘Hey Hulk, I was a little, teeny Hulkster growing up,’ or ‘I’m still a Hulkamaniac!’ That’s really cool to hear that.
Fox Sports 1 interview
Punk appears on Fox Sports 1 to discuss coming to UFC and if he feels he deserves to work for the company.
I’m not really going to say that I do deserve it. I think time will tell if I deserve it or not. Respect has to be earned, not given. I very much understand that, and I understand the perspective of a lot of the fighters. Some of them are just trying to jump on the bandwagon too, you know, like call names and pick fights. That’s the fight game, I appreciate that. I just roll with the punches. I’ll take all the positive stuff and leave all the negative stuff behind.
On Air interview
Kendrick gives an interview to Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her role in the film Into The Woods.
I love this version of Cinderella because she’s got Chris Pine (the Prince) chasing after her and she’s still not totally convinced and I love that about her. She’s a lady that knows she’s worth it. He’s a great singer! He was so shy about it in rehearsals. He’s like Frank Sinatra! I want this man to sing me to sleep.
On Air interview
Rock gives an interview to Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his film Top Five.
I watched them (reality TV) we had this girl Karlie Redd from Love & Hip-Hop is one of the girls in the pillow fight (scene). I love all those shows: Love & Hip-Hop, the Atlanta one, the Kardashians. I studied it. I tried to not make fun of them, but make her a real person. I tried to make Gabrielle a real person that you cared about.
Sofia Vergara interview
Vergara returns as a guest on Conan to promote her latest jewelry line. She gives O’Brien a bracelet from the collection, to give to his wife. She also talks about her holiday spending habits and watching her boyfriend, Joe Mangianello, prepare for his stripper role in Magic Mike.
It was fun to see him prepare for Magic Mike. It was, you know, a little bit like surprising because I didn’t know who — that he could dance like that. But it was a lot of fun. He did a lot of crazy things in the movie. I think he even had an accident.
Wrestling 101 interview
Jericho talks to Wrestling 101 about the possibility of seeing CM Punk wrestle again.
That is something you will have to ask CM Punk, I haven’t spoken to him about it. I do know in 2005 I was very burned out from wrestling and I left for two and a halfyears. If Punk does come back it might take a while because when you’re burned out you’re done, like I said it took me two and half years before I decided I wanted to come back.
Huffington Post interview
The American Wolves talk to the Huffington Post to discuss if they have any future plansto leave TNA for WWE. Richards responds:
I’m extremely happy where I’m at right now. I can never say never. I can tell you that I’d never go into their developmental system and I’m not saying that because I think I’m better than anyone there (I would say the developmental system has better talent than the actual roster). It’s not conducive to my lifestyle and that’s all. I’m not trying to put down their product, I have nothing bad to say to them but I’m happy where I’m at. I kind of lost my fire for wrestling and being in TNA, I got that fire back.
Rolling Stone interview
Punk talks to Rolling Stone magazine about his new career and his wife’s reaction to his UFC signing.
Trust me, whatever nerves I’m gonna have stepping into the Octagon will pale in comparison to the nerves I had when I had to bring this up to my wife. I was honestly terrified. I was like, ‘She’s gonna shut it down, and I’m gonna have to figure out a way to smooth it over so I can do this, because I don’t take no for an answer, she doesn’t take no for an answer, and this is something I really wanna do.’ Right off the bat she recognized that. She’s been around me long enough to know that, ever since the first day I met her, this is something I talked about doing, and she’s not somebody that’s gonna step in front of her husband trying to accomplish something that he dreamed about.
Access Hollywood Live interview
Short reveals that substance abuse was the reason for his exit from Scandal in an interview with Access Hollywood Live.
I’ll be candid: I was struggling with drugs. I had a lot on my plate, and you know, I was using unhealthy ways to kind of self-medicate and deal with a lot of heavy duty stuff in my life… I was doing cocaine and drinking a lot, and trying to balance a 16-hour work schedule a day, and a family, and I just lost myself back then.
Women’s Wear Daily interview
Branson discusses the first Virgin Hotel, set to open in Chicago on January 15, in an interview with Women’s Wear Daily.
We had been looking at a number of properties for our first location but what truly excited us about Chicago were the friendly people and also the building. The Old Dearborn Bank really captured our attention with its 1920s architecture, and gave us the challenge to restore many of its existing features and give it a second life. Not too long ago, I got to see the interior, and the juxtaposition between old and new is fantastic.
