Maxim Interview
Chobot talks about how she gained fame on the Internet:
Yeah, funny how that one picture blew up. It’s been copied so often! Part of me feels special and is flattered. The other part is like, Oh Christ. As for Sony, they have never acknowledged that photo, except when they attempted a weird graffiti campaign with an odd-looking kid on a skateboard licking the PSP like it was a rocket pop. Money-wise? Nope. Nada.
Maxim Interview
White gives his thoughts on his new video game, Shaun White Snowboarding:
It’s funny to say, but really this game feels like your really snowboarding. In the end, we wanted people that have never been on snow, or never ridden in the backcountry to get a feel for how much fun it is. Also, since you can get online and ride with your friends, it feels like the real deal.
Maxim Interview
Sanchez talks about doing voiceovers for Midway’s new video games:
There was a actually consideration of a different voice entirely. We went through some trials with other voiceover artists because of the DC association and the potential rebranding of the series and I was open to it; I’d had my time at the mantle. Ultimately, everyone decided it was a better idea to stick with the tried and true version. It just didn’t feel like Mortal Kombat without my voice on it, I was told. We actually had a couple of female voices doing the same narration and emphasis over the fight scenes that I was going to be doing. It just didn’t quite work out. So, they yanked me back in and I did the traditional work, except now with Superman and Batman instead of just MK characters.
Maxim Interview
Stanhope discusses his Strong Target routine and where the inspiration for it came from:
Yeah that’s a book, it’s not strictly comedy, called The Comedian as Confidence Man: Studies in Irony Fatigue, and it goes through all of these humorists from Ben Franklin up to Bill Hicks, Lenny Bruce, and Mark Twain…all these guys hit a wall where you have to have that mask of you know, I’m just kidding to be a humorist or a comedian. But you’re not kidding. But when you stop kidding you’re no longer a comic.

The company has invested well more than $100 million in startups…we do seed funding, Series A, B, C, D, we invest in this thing called the cloud, we do a lot of investments in mobile, social, connected devices, we have a great group…and their returns are pretty incredible.

Rolling Stone interview
In an interview with Rolling Stone Swift details her recent move to New York and talks about how much she loves living there. (She still owns a condo in Nashville.) The story also reveals the singer won’t attend any country music awards shows and that she rebuffed requests from her record label to include country songs on her upcoming album 1989. She also says she is done with songs relating to past relationships, and is tired of not being taken seriously.
Different phases of your life have different levels of deep, traumatizing heartbreak. And in this period of my life, my heart was not irreparably broken. So it’s not as boy-centric of an album, because my life hasn’t been boy-centric.
Swift goes on to discuss how she has not even been on a date since her last breakup. She intends on concentrating on her her music, and not relying so much on “boys”.
Bill Hader interview
Esquire interviews Hader about his thoughts on Robin Williams suicide.
I don’t know my thoughts on this issue. I met Robin Williams a few times, and he was a beautiful guy. It’s a disease. I had a friend in high school who committed suicide, and it’s a disease that’s hard for people to manage. It was a total surprise. Milo, in the movie, is different. His is more a cry for help than an actual disease. He’s just looking for some sort of attention. I think it’s much different than what Robin Williams went through.
Tavis Smiley interview
Glover discusses his career as a tap dancer and what he sees in the future for tap dance in this interview for PBS.
Man, this is my life, you know. At a very early age, as you know, I was introduced to some men and women who had dedicated their lives to this art form. And it’s my proud privilege to now dedicate my life to them and to the art form. So I have no choice, man. This is all I want to do. I’m thankful every moment and opportunity I get to share the information and, hopefully, I can continue on.
Charlie Rose interview
Maher and Rose discuss the ISIS conflict in Iraq and Islam versus Christianity.
There was a Pew poll in Egypt done a few years ago — 82% said, I think, stoning is the appropriate punishment for adultery. Over 80% thought death was the appropriate punishment for leaving the Muslim religion. I’m sure you know these things.

De Niro is the only impression I can kind of do and you guys are like “you can’t.” Not very good at that. I auditioned and I didn’t really know you had to do impressions, even though that’s a thing you absolutely have to do. So I did jack Nicholson. I was like, “I’m jack Nicholson”. That was like my move.
Anna Faris interview
Faris and Conan discuss how she torments her mother with postcards on Conan.
I can sense that she is annoyed and I delight in that.
