Latina cover
Lopez and Guzman appear on the cover of the February 2015 issue of Latina magazine. Guzman talks about meeting his girlfriend, working with Lopez, and and embracing failure.
Hey, I invite all adversity. Anything coming against me only makes me stronger, so if I don’t make it this time, I’m not going to fuss about it. I’m not going to get all angry or upset or anything like that people would think. There’s a lesson to be learned at that point — what didn’t I do right or what do I need to work on and what do I need to show the audience more of. I’m just going to keep on growing. Eventually, you will be seeing me, because I will be working my ass off!

Mexico refuses extradition
Mexico’s attorney general refuses to extradite Guzman to the U.S. citing national sovereignty and also because he must serve his time in Mexican prison for all the crimes for which he is being prosecuted:
I could accept extradition but at the time that I choose. El Chapo must stay here to complete his sentence and then I will extradite him. So about 300 or 400 years later — it will be a while.
The Talks interview
Brambilla gives an interview to The Talks. He discusses why he turned his back on Hollywood and went to the art world.
Once I realized the importance of marketing and the importance of everything other than the content itself, I didn’t last very long. I just had a sense that it wasn’t really fulfilling for me creatively and I went back to making things that were more personal and that I was more passionate about. I didn’t feel like it was a filmmaker’s medium anymore in 1993. It was becoming much more of a producer’s medium. Now I would say that it’s not even a producer’s medium anymore, it’s more of a marketing department’s medium. Now the film business has kind of split into these two worlds, very much like the art world.
Time Out Hong Kong interview
Ho and Wong give an interview to Time Out Hong Kong. They discuss coming out as gay, their involvement in the Umbrella Movement, and how long they have known each other.
The change has been huge. During the Umbrella Movement, it was like we were presented as citizens. People didn’t really see us as just LGBTI artists.
Helps Olyphant get a job
DeGeneres helps Olyphant with his foreign accent skills to help him get a new job. DeGeneres:
So you’re looking for your next job when Justified is over so we’re going to play a little game to show off all your skills.
‘Let Down’ by SOTU Speech
Sulkowicz says she was disappointed the president did not mention sexual assault on college campuses in his State of the Union speech.
I can’t say I was entirely surprised because since when has violence against women ever been a man’s issue? “I am not going to lie, I was let down because I felt like there were points in his speech where he could have brought it up. I was really hoping he would mention it, since the issue has been raised to a new level.
Just seeing the president in person was such a wild experience. And shaking John Kerry’s hand was also extremely surreal. He didn’t really know who I was, and even when Senator Gillibrand introduced me no one seemed to know who I was. But that’s okay.
WSJ Interview
Vilks opens up about the changes in his life since drawing the prophet Muhammad as a dog on a traffic circle. While he can’t talk about the details of his protection, he does say he feels safer and misses the ability to be spontaneous. He also rejects the idea that artist and satirists have to be careful when they criticize Islam.
Almost the entire Muslim world is subject to a theological rule that has a strange outcome when it comes to human rights. You can’t ignore that. Then you’re talking tactics, how should one go about to change that. Some say you should be very careful, but that’s just postponing the problem. Sooner or later, you have to explain what you’re criticizing.
Time Out Hong Kong interview
Healy gives an interview to Time Out Hong Kong. He discusses the 80s sound, why it took so long to release 1975’s LP, and reaching the top of the UK album chart.
The 80s is now perceived as a bygone era in music – but that’s not true. It was just a time when pop music had innocence. It wasn’t encumbered with cynicism and self-awareness, but everything changed with the Pixies and grunge. At the time, So by Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins’ Face Value were not lame records. They were forward-thinking pop records – you got Don’t Give Up and then the more leftfield Sledgehammer – and big-time composites of massive pop and experimental avant-garde music, which is exactly what we are.
Moroder, Carter chat
Carter and Moroder chat about music and technology at the DLD conference in Munich, Germany. Moroder talks about his upcoming album., digital recording, and recording Scarface. Moroder on digital:
I love digital. I think I was one of the first, if not the first one, to recorded a whole album only on digital. The album was called E=mc², which I recorded in Los Angeles, with a guy from Salt Lake City who invented the stereo digital, called Dr Stockham. I recorded the whole album in two days live. I have to wait for weeks for the computer to generate edits and cuts.
NKD feature
Astro is featured in NKD magazine. He talks about Red Band Society, Dash, cystic fibrosis, and his music plans.
We gotta grind to get to that point first. I’m not trying to put out an official album yet. This is more like a proper introduction to me. This is introducing the people, this is who ASTRO is.
Supreme Court decision response
DeGeneres speaks out in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to hear cases on same-sex marriage from Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Tennessee.
That’s fantastic. It’s about time. It’s funny. I don’t know if you’ve seen the movie Selma, but the thing that changed the civil rights movement is when white people got involved and started marching, because until then, it was just nothing but violence and disaster, and it continued to be for a while. We need everyone on our side. We’re kind of trying to do this march, and we just need people that believe in equality and believe in fairness and love. So if we have people that will join us and give us that, which is only fair to have the same rights that everybody else has, then it’s a wonderful world.
Flare interview
Hunnam gives an interview to Flare magazine. He talks about his childhood and projects he’s working on.
There was a loneliness to growing up like that. I had to fill up my days and create a life for myself, which forced me to use my imagination and cultivate a dream of what I wanted my life to be. I don’t think I would have pursued my career in film with quite as much vigour had I not had those years for it to become concrete in my mind that this is the only thing I want to do.
On Air interview
Seacrest interviews Justice during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her role in the MTV series Eye Candy.
It’s a very different role than anything I’ve ever done, which is why it was so exciting for me. I play this computer hacker girl who is on a mission and she also has a lot of emotional back story. My sister was abducted in the first episode and it’s my mission to find her.
NKD feature
Griffo is featured in NKD magazine. He talks about his show The Thundermans and the similarities with his character Max.
The storylines are great. We’ve had a couple of dramatic moments in season two, which have been fun to do. Really cool and really challenging, which has been great. Max is branching out and getting friends, he gets a band, a couple of girlfriends throughout the season. We’ve all growing up a lot in season two.
On Air interview
Seacrest interviews Lopez during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her role in the film The Boy Next Door.
When I read the script, I liked the character because I felt it was very related. She’s a woman in a long marriage, her husband just cheated on her, and she’s kind of at the lowest point in her life. She’s at that moment and then this guy comes along the boy next door shows up and starts making her feel like she is worth something. That she is desirable in some way and reminds her because she’s feeling the total opposite in that moment. And then of course, [she] makes a mistake and crosses the line and it changes their lives forever. But I really did love [how] she’s strong, but she’s vulnerable at the same time.

On Air interview
Seacrest interviews Kidman during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her character Millicent Clyde in the film Paddington.
I’m an evil villain with a hint of fun. I hope people go out to see it because it’s adorable. The book series has been a massive hit in the UK and Australia, that’s where the book is really famous. In terms of here in America, a few people know, but we’re trying to educate people because he’s really a sweet bear.
Elle feature
Dornan is featured in Elle magazine. He talks about Fifty Shades of Grey and his character Christian Grey.
I wonder what it is about this set of books that has, excuse my pun, penetrated the global market. What is it that’s just so on the pulse of what women want? I think a lot of people try to undermine the whole thing. But it’s hard to undermine something that’s so successful. Mass appreciation doesn’t always equate to something good. Think of Hitler! But I think, in this case, it must. It simply must. There’s got to be merit in it if so many people agree.
Harper’s Bazaar interview
Harper’s Bazaar Magazine interviews Kerr about her long career in the fashion industry and her approach to success.
I have to approach my career with a wink. Otherwise you can be really self-critical, because there’s always someone else. I’ve struggled with that. The perception is that I have it all. But in the modeling industry and I’ve been in the industry since I was 13 it’s not all what it appears to be. People don’t realize that.
British GQ feature
Dornan is featured in British GQ magazine. He talks about his life and his character Christian Grey.
In the course of researching this character, I have seen the reality very closely. I can tell you from an alarmingly first-hand perspective it’s not altogether sexy. But I’ve been in a dungeon with a lukewarm beer while a dominant has had some fun with his submissive and it was very playful and jovial and not at all dark and serious. There was a lot of laughter…
