Yahoo Sports interview
Hogan sits down with Yahoo Sports to discuss Summerslam and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
I know he had a good run when he was in the Attitude Era. I don’t know how long the Attitude Era was — four years, eight years — I don’t know how long it was. That’s where we totally disagree. Maybe he and I should lock up and figure this thing out. That would be a nice match.
‘U.S. support for Anbar’
The governor of Sunni-majority Anbar province says he has received a pledge of U.S. support, including air power, to help groups in the province fight ISIS, which has control of large parts of the province and is threatening key assets. Ahmed Khalaf al-Dulaimi:
Our first goal is the air support. Their technology capability will offer a lot of intelligence information and monitoring of the desert and many things which we are in need of. No date was decided but it will be very soon and there will be a presence for the Americans in the western area.
Dulaimi is concerned by the militants’ determination to seize control of Anbar’s Haditha dam.
The situation in Haditha, where the dam is, is controlled by security forces and tribes. But the problem is how long can they endure the pressure?
He says the embassy has committed to a presence in Anbar:
I held several meetings since one month ago with the American Embassy and the commander of the central troops all in this regard, and very soon there will be a joint coordination center and operations in Anbar. They gave a promise.
State Department spokesperson to reporters:
We’re having conversations about what it (any security assistance) might look like in the future, but nothing concrete beyond that.

Foley is a guest on the Steve Austin Show to discuss WCW, negotiating pay in wrestling and steel chair shots to the head.

When the magazine came out by that time we were seeing each other and when I got the magazine and opened it up and read it, I forgot I said that. She was laughing at me. She thought that I was crazy for having said that out loud or said it in the magazine, but you know, I guess it worked.

Mickey Rourke interview
Rourke guests on Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. He also talks about dealing with annoying paparazzi, his dislike of the outcome of Iron Man 2, and his admiration for Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez.
I’m a Robert Rodriguez/Frank Miller fan. Once I did a movie for Marvel and they cut the whole f*ckin’ thing out. When you work with Robert, he knows what he wants. I do a lot of research – work on the character a lot – so when you bring it to the table it’s disappointing when they cut stuff out. Frank’s on the set and he puts his two cents in. It’s great because you got two guys who are very enthusiastic who know exactly what they want. If I make an adjustment and they say ‘Well why don’t you try this?’ It’s usually a better idea than what I came up with.

Fatducktech interview

I do what the boss tells me to do. In this timeframe I wasn’t going to come back unless it was something that interested me to do, and the Bray Wyatt thing was something that i pitched months ago and they finally came through and said ‘we want you to do something with Wyatt’, and that’s how that went down.
Rolling Stone cover
Katy Perry appears on the cover of the August 2014 issue of Rolling Stone. She defends herself over accusations of cultural insensitivities.
As far as the mummy thing, I based it on plastic surgery. Look at someone like Kim Kardashian or Ice-T’s wife, Coco. Those girls aren’t African-American. But it’s actually a representation of our culture wanting to be plastic
