Crash cover
Collins appears on the cover of the December 2014 art issue of Crash magazine. She talks about her style, her future, and her character in Love, Rosie.

Seventeen Prom cover
Mitchell appears on the cover of the 2014 issue of Seventeen Prom magazine. She talks about what she pictured wearing to prom, whether she would have asked someone to prom, and how to look great in a photo.
Pick a dress you feel really confident in and then you won’t be worried how you look in pictures. Then you just need to smile and remember to have fun. When you look back at the pictures, you want to remember exactly how great that night was.
Oprah interview
Sam gives an interview to Oprah and claims other gay players in the NFL have reached out to him.
Very few reached out to me and pretty much just told me their gratitude and how thankful they were that I had the courage (to come out publicly). They wished that they had the courage to come out.
Nick Jonas interview
Jonas discusses Christmas shopping, going on tour with Iggy Azalea and his show Kingdom on LIVE with Kelly and Michael.
The writing to me is beautiful and I had to really fight to get the role.

‘A lot more dangerous than Western leaders realize’
German journalist and author Juergen Todenhoefer says ISIS is “more dangerous” than people realize after travelling deep into ISIS territory in both Syria and Iraq. Todenhoefer tells CNN he spoke with several ISIS fighters, as well as a prisoner.
I think the Islamic State is a lot more dangerous than Western leaders realize. They believe in what they are fighting for and are preparing the largest religious cleansing campaign the world has ever seen.

Billboard cover
Trainor appears on one of four covers of a December 2014 issue of Billboard magazine. She talks about her song All About That Bass.
I came to my session with producer Kevin Kadish with a list of titles, and immediately I was like, ‘Let’s do booty! And thickness! Like, it’s about the bass, not the treble,’ and he was into it. When you have a session, it’s like a blind date — you meet a stranger and make nice with them. He was telling me how he loved ’50s stuff, and I told him how I listened to Frank Sinatra before every session. He started making this beat to make it modern, and I started the first verse freestyle because I was like, ‘I rap.’ When a little white girl walks in and says, ‘I’m a rapper,’ they don’t actually want you to rap. But he was all about it.
Billboard cover
Smith appears on one of four covers of a December 2014 issue of Billboard magazine. He talks about being on Saturday Night Live.
Saturday Night Live is the thing that broke me in America, but I was very scared, and I actually begged my team and my label to not do it when we got the call. I thought it would have more impact if I had a song out and on the radio. But I was so wrong. I had a story all of a sudden, and I was on people’s iPods in the space of a week.
Orlando Bloom interview
Bloom appears as a guest on Conan to promote his latest film, The Hobbit. He also talks about having Sir Ian McKellen as a roommate, his experience stripping down in Zulu, and creating a porno film involving elves and Middle Earth.
The truth is there won’t be because J.R. Tolkien has the rights. The estate sold the rights for both The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, but nothing else. I was doing press with Evangeline Lilly and Lee Pace recently. We both play elves and we could do an elven spinoff. Get some iphones and some GoPros and annihilate middle earth, Tantric sex, down and dirty. Let’s go with a bit of elven love and violence.

Out magazine interview
Baranski discu
sses her role as Cinderella’s Stepmother in Rob Marshall’s screen adaptation of Sondheim’s Into the Woods, her long working relationship with Marshall, and why she accepted a small part in the film.
The Stepmother is a peripheral character. But frankly, those little musical entrances are very tricky. That’s how she’s introduced: She breezes down the staircase, and you have to hit your mark. I often say playing small roles is more challenging than a large role because you have very little time, especially onscreen, to say, “This is exactly who that character is—so it has to be cut and crystal.” If there’s a laugh, a funny moment, you have to score it.
Claims two day blackout after Cosby drugging
A woman identified only as Lisa claims Cosby drugged her when she visited his hotel room in the 1980s. Appearing on Dr. Phil along with six other Cosby accusers, Lisa says she was given two drinks by Cosby and woke up at her home two days later.
I noticed myself getting a little dizzy. Bill had sat down on the edge of the couch. He said, ‘Come over here and have a seat.’ And he had his legs open and when I sat down, I was sitting down in between his legs with my back to his crotch. And he started to stroke my hair back in a petting motion like this. The last thing I remember is just feeling the strokes on my head. After that, I don’t remember anything else.
Bill Maher interview
Macfarlane is on a panel discussion with the cast of Family Guy. He talks about how the character voices pitches rise with time.
If you listen to our voiceovers last year, we are all, I swear to God a lot lower in pitch.
On Air interview
Will.i.am gives an interview to Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his fifth studio album The End.
This new project, Taboo called me and was like, Yo Will, I think it’s that time again, and I’m like, You’re right. So we’ve just been sitting around going through our hard drives and archives of things that we’ve put out, things that we haven’t put out, we’ve been dreaming of why we come back. A 20-year anniversary is important, but more importantly, how we come back. We’ve anticipated the whole arc: the emotion, the connection, the discovery, the shock and awe, the conversation. We’ve been cooking stuff up, man. Our stuff is as mysterious as Donald Trump’s toupee.
The Edit UK cover
Blunt appears on the cover of a December 2014 issue of The Edit UK magazine. She talks about raising her child.
There used to be one book that everyone read, now there’s How to Raise a Gluten-free Baby, How to Raise a Scientific Baby … It’s insanity! So I haven’t read anything, I’m just letting her do her own thing.
