How To Make Millions interview
Calacanis tells HowStuffWorks about how Weblogs grew and developed:
We had all these passionate people blogging about these specific topics that advertisers could then advertise against, so you had this perfect marriage of bloggers who were passionate, an audience who was passionate about reading the bloggers, unfiltered, and advertisers, who could join that whole love-fest
Steve Austin Show interview
Wyatt is a guest on the Steve Austin Show to discuss his character in WWE and becoming a top WWE star.
I got into this because it was my dream. I go to live pretty much everything I’ve ever dreamed here in WWE and I’ve gotten to do everything I’ve wanted to do. I’ve lived my dream.
CBS interview
Brown, McSpadden and Brown Sr. give their reactions to the grand jury decision, officer Wilson and the violence in Ferguson. McSpadden:
My son doesn’t have a history of violence, one image does not paint a persons entire life or their entire past on how they were. We all do have a past….
E! Online interview
Bella talks to E! Online about winning the WWE Divas Championship at Survivor Series.
I think everyone’s in shock. They were waiting outside when I came out and gave me hugs and kisses, and Nattie wrote me a nice, super long text. They’ve all been waiting for a change and they’ve seen how hard I’ve been working and I think they are very happy for me; they felt it was very deserving.
Rob Lowe interview
Esquire interviews Lowe about the latest projects he is working on including staring in Direct TV commercials.
Well, last week I was shooting more DirecTV stuff, which is very time-intensive. There’s prosthetics, there’s design. I work on the commercials with them. We write them together. They’re very complicated to shoot. And I’m developing a new TV series at NBC, which is a very subversive and politically incorrect show about a family. I also have a cartoon for Comedy Central that I produce and star in called Moonbeam City. That will be premiering after Tosh.0 in the spring and I’m so happy for people to see it. If it could be more politically incorrect and more wrong than the DirecTV commercials, I would say it is. And I have a fun little surprise in the new James Franco and Seth Rogen movie The Interview, which is my favorite comedy of the year. They asked me to come in and have some fun on that, and I was happy to do it. That has been my must-see movie of the fall. I’ve been busy.
Miami Herald interview
Rollins talks to the Miami Herald about Brock Lesnar, Survivor Series and learning from working with “The Authority”.
I’m a sponge in that scenario soaking up all the information I possibly can. You are looking at Triple H, who has pretty much done all there is to do in WWE. You look at Stephanie, who is a McMahon. She has this in her blood. Then you have Kane, who also has been around in many incarnations for a very long period of time. There is so much information and so much to learn about being the man in WWE.
Cosby ‘fixer’ paid women
Frank Scotti, 90, says he spent years as NBC’s ‘fixer’ for Cosby, sending money to Cosby’s lady friends and as a guard at Cosby’s dressing room door when those women visited. Cosby had a rotating lineup of young women, some as young as 16, brought to his Brooklyn dressing room by a complicit modeling agency’s owner.
She knew exactly what was going to go on. Then he’d tell me, ‘Stand outside the door and don’t let anyone in.’ Now you put that together and figure (out) why.’
Scotti claims Cosby would put women he especially liked up in apartments and give them up to $2,000 per month. He eventually walked away from the star because of how he treated women.
He had everybody fooled.
Telegraph interview
Kane talks to The Telegraph about new up-and-coming stars in the WWE.
I think the upcoming talent is great. For awhile I was very worried about the future of WWE because I worried about where the stars would come from. But WWE has done a fabulous job in partnering with Full Sail University, for WWE’s training facility. Some of the guys are second and third generations, but the thing about WWE’s training, is they learn our system before going on the roster, it’s more seamless. WWE’s future is bright.
BANG Showbiz interview
Sheamus talks to BANG Showbiz about the popularity of Total Divas and interest in creating a similar reality television program featuring the superstars instead of the divas.
I think there should be a new reality show for the guys, I think it would be interesting. It should definitely happen now we have the WWE Network. The bigger the Network grows the more content they are going to need and a reality show would definitely take off, especially if it had all the behind-the-scenes stuff.
Steenkamp’s mother interview
June Steenkamp tells Outlook on the BBC World Service that she thinks Pistorius terrorized her daughter. (Program link here). She says Pistoirus’s apology ‘meant nothing,’ and she ignored it. The family were worried when Reeva Steenkamp moved to Johannesburg from Port Elizabeth as the capital is considered much more dangerous, and she says Pistorius tried to control Reeva and make her into ‘arm candy’. The family also were evicted from their house after media revealed they had no money, and this is why they took payments from Pistorius including during the trial. She says she will set up the Reeva Steenkamp Foundation for Abused Women:
We’re going to build shelters for women, and they’ll be taken care of, and be taught to support themselves with different ways and means, so they can live a life without the abuser, and support themselves without having to depend on someone who’s beating you up every night.
Reeva would have loved to do that. And I will do it for her.
Miami Herald interview
James talks to the Miami Herald about possibly returning to WWE in the future.
I’d have to revisit that whole thing…Things have changed since then. I think, ‘I’m better than 90 percent of the talent on TV now. Why am I going to step to the side to just train the future?’ I’m not ready to do that, and I’m not trying to be arrogant and self-absorbed. I can see how it can come off that way, but it’s the truth.
Total Wrestling Magazine interview
Page talks to Total Wrestling Magazine about Jake Roberts, his favorite WWE superstars and his own run in WWE.
I didn’t have the run I should have had in WWE, but that’s ok, I had a great run in WCW. I lived the dream, and it was great fun. In WWE, I got the European Title, Tag-Team Titles, sure, but they didn’t mean anything to me. There was too much heat on the WCW guys at that time, they were seen as the enemy, we almost put the WWE out of business.
Reno-Gazette Journal interview
Reigns talks to the Reno-Gazette Journal about The former Shield members and being compared to John Cena.
Last time I checked, I’m 6’3″ 265 pounds, which is bigger than John Cena. Last time I checked, my hair is long and jet black, and last time I checked John Cena’s isn’t. I’m way better looking and I’m way more athletic than he is so for anybody to compare me to him is completely asinine.
Receives standing ovation
Cosby’s show in Melbourne, Florida begins with a standing ovation from the sold-out crowd. Cosby discusses a local radio station offering cash and prizes to heckle the comedian in a pre-show interview with Florida Today.
So today I was informed of this radio station that is offering money for people to stand up and heckle in order to collect prizes and money. The thing is, these people are prodding and pushing people and asking people to have a frat house mentality. Now suppose someone brings a weapon or decided to do more foolishness. There will be announcements made and the stations made some disclaimers, but what if people don’t listen to what they said and they entice violence? That’s not good for anyone.
‘A guy doesn’t have to answer to innuendos’
Cosby discusses not speaking out about the recent sexual assault allegations leveled against him in an interview with Florida Today.
I know people are tired of me not saying anything, but a guy doesn’t have to answer to innuendos. People should fact check. People shouldn’t have to go through that and shouldn’t answer to innuendos.
NoInHallofFame.com interview
Page talks to NotInHallofFame.com about a conversation he had with Steve Austin regarding when he will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
I think at some point it will happen. Steve Austin said to me the other day ‘No one ever did it the way you did it at such a success level’. He said to me that he was waiting for me to go in, and when it happens it happens. I’m honored that the CAC and National Wrestling Hall of Fame inducted me, and I would be honored if the WWE put me in their Hall of Fame. I’m focused on what’s happening right now with DDPYOGA and last year to get to induct Jake and with Scott being inducted in the same year, and they both came out of my house, you know DDP’s Accountability Crib.
Chicago Now interview
Foley talks to Chicago Now about his recent appearances in WWE and possibly returning for a recurring on-screen authority role.
I think their needs to be a balance of power. I think on screen the Authority has had too much power for too long and it’s been a little heel heavy. I would hope I am on that short list of candidates for that type of role if it does arise. And if it was brought forth to me, I think I would do it. And with my personality I think I can bring a fresh attitude towards that “higher power”.
Recounts Cosby assault
Ferrigno, wife of Lou Ferringo, claims that she was almost sexually assaulted by the star at a party in 1967. She says Cosby lunged at her and forcefully kissed her at a party when she was just a teenager, while his wife was home.
I feel so bad for these women. I was the lucky one…I mean “lucky” in that he didn’t harm me. It harmed me emotionally all my life but he didn’t physically harm me.
AP releases unedited interview
AP releases the full exchange between its reporter and the Cosbys from its November 6 interview. Cosby refuses to answer the allegations which, at that time, had come to media attention because of Hannibal Buress’ comments.
No, no we don’t answer that…There’s no response…There is no comment about that…I don’t want to compromise your integrity on that.
The Cosbys then ask the journalist and the producer to “scuttle” that part of the interview.
We thought by the way because it was AP that it wouldn’t be necessary to go over that question with you…the reason why we didn’t say that up front is because we thought that AP had the integrity to not ask.
The AP says it made no agreement to not publish the comments.
The Talks interview
Moralioglu gives an interview to The Talks. He discusses his twin sister’s influence on him, when he was young and liked to draw women, and his parents passing away.
It was very much like, “Okay. This is my life and I have to make sure this works.” It was sink or swim! And that really compels you in a way. You take yourself seriously – I don’t take myself that seriously, but in a way that what you were doing became very serious. I don’t have a business background and I wasn’t from a wealthy family. There were definitely some bumpy moments. It was definite trial and error. Tons of error! I was very lucky in the sense that I grew quite organically and in a way that was very controlled.
