Michael Sheen interview
Sheen guests on Conan to promote Masters of Sex. He also talks about how he handles the amount of nudity on the set and prepares for sexy scenes, as well as what his mother thinks of the show.
It’s a fine line because you don’t want people to think that you’re being creepy. You don’t want people to think that you’re ogling them. I did a bit of research because my character starts off as a gynecologist.

Rimes, Cibrian interview
Seacrest interviews Rimes and Cibrian during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and asks them why they started a reality TV show.
There’s been so much craziness in the past five years. People have used what they think is our lives for entertainment. We caved eventually because we have turned down many offers to do something like this. This felt right with the right producers and VH1. We wanted to make a comedy. Eddie and I both, we laugh about a lot of things. I think that’s how we cope with a lot of this stuff. It’s about time to getting on with it and laughing about it. With this show, you get to see how we are with each other.

Andi Dorfman interview

The dynamic of it is really the cameras go away. All the producers go away, all the cameras go away, and it is you and that person in whatever magical suite or house you’re in that evening. So it really is as true as they say it is. Nothing’s recorded everyone goes away and it’s just the two of ya’ll.
Busted Open Radio interview
Dillon sits down with Busted Open Radio to discuss WCW and the WWE Hall of Fame.
When I first started I was a fan. It was in the late 50s and I thought I could become a professional wrestler and appear at Madison Square Garden. The Hall Of Fame at that point was Baseball in Cooperstown. There was no wrestling hall of fame.

Sex scandals: ‘A leprosy in our house’
Francis tells an Italian newspaper that the Catholic Church’s requiring its clergy to remain celibate is a “problem” for which “there are solutions.” Allegedly, the Pope told the newspaper that one in 50 members of the clergy are pedophiles, and he says the Church’s sex abuse scandal is “a leprosy in our house.” The Pope tells Eugenio Scalfari, the 90-year-old founder of La Repubblica:
The 2 percent of pedophiles are priests, and even bishops and cardinals. And others, even more numerous, know about it but keep quiet. They punish without saying the reason why. I find this state of things untenable and it is my intention to confront it with the severity it requires.
60 Seconds with Jim Duffy
The Fife Business Journal asks Duffy questions about Entrepreneurial Spark. On why he started the program.
I realised that the support services available to start-ups in Scotland weren’t very joined up and that other countries which were fostering start-up businesses for the first 12 to 18 months helped them achieve traction more quickly. If you look at the likes of the ecosystems in Boston and New York, for example, they have great entrepreneurial hubs in which businesses really look after each other. I saw that similarities could be applied over here in Scotland but you can’t just take a US model and plonk it in this country and expect it to work. I had to look at the business psyche in Scotland and assess the mindsets and perceptions of its entrepreneurs. It seemed to take a lot more over here to make people ‘oven ready’. I had initially planned to launch E-Spark as a private, limited company but I did nine months of research beforehand and went out to Babson College in Boston. When I told them I’d raised a quarter-of-a-million to help fund it, they said ‘don’t do it; go home and start it as a social enterprise instead’. Everything seemed to pick up right away and, before long, Sir Tom Hunter became involved.
CXOTalk interview
Scoble talks on the Google+ hangout about how smartphones have created his concept of the age of context, where wearables, sensors, social apps, data and the ‘Internet of things’ are converging to create what he says is a new kind of operating system. He talks about his job interviewing startup founders about the future of tech, and talking with people like Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park and Mark Benioff of Salesforce rather than enterprise tech companies:
Those are typically the people who are pushing the future. You don’t really hear about something crazy starting at enterprises.
Columbia interview
Corcoran says the three essential qualities for an entrepreneur are sales skills, the ability to motivate, manipulate and convince people, and being able to take a hit:
If you by nature can take a hit and are stupid enough to pop back up and say ‘Hit me again, hit me again,’ you’re perfect for an entrepreneur
Shape Magazine interview
Bittman speaks to Shape Magazine about his Vegan Before Six diet that recommends eating vegan meals and snacks every day before six o’clock.
We know that diets don’t work. They’re depriving and hard to stay on long-term. I wanted something that was easy to stay on for the rest of my life. Everybody wants to go to restaurants, drink at night, and feel like they’re eating normally when they go out to eat.
Cosmopolitan interview
Trainor speaks about All About That Bass, which has received 1.7 million views on YouTube. When asked if she has always had a positive attitude about her own body image:
No, no, not at all. I didn’t know how cool I was until just recently. I wish I knew how cool I was in high school, you know? And I see my little cousins — now they have Instagram at 13. I didn’t have Instagram, but I’m pretty sure I would have been more confused about everything if I did at that age. I wrote it to help me as well. And it has helped me because people have been complimenting me like, ‘Man, you look good in that video!’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah I do!’ If I help other people that’s just another dream come true.
Talk is Jericho interview
Torres is a guest on Talk is Jericho to discuss WWE, Vince McMahon and the WWE Diva Search contest.

Shape Magazine interview
Chastain talks to Shape Magazine about winning the Women’s World Cup for the U.S.
For all of us who were involved with the national team in the ’99 World Cup Game, it was a lifelong commitment to being the best that we could be and to ultimately bring all of that into play during the entire tournament. When Briana Scurry (U.S. goalkeeper) made the block on China’s third kicker, I knew right away that we would win the game. We had already made three kicks ourselves and that was such a huge turning point. It just solidified the confidence I had, and I knew we would win.
