White House petition response

Makes Statement0 Comments

A petition with 273,968 signatures which requests that the singer be deported after his DUI arrest, has received a response from the White House:

Sorry to disappoint, but we won’t be commenting on this one. The We the People terms of participation state that, ‘to avoid the appearance of improper influence, the White House may decline to address certain procurement, law enforcement, adjudicatory, or similar matters properly within the jurisdiction of federal departments or agencies, federal courts, or state and local government in its response to a petition.’ So we’ll leave it to others to comment on Mr. Bieber’s case, but we’re glad you care about immigration issues. Because our current system is broken.

Uptown Magazine interview

Interview0 Comments

Williams is interviewed by Uptown Magazine and talks of her success, her co-host and hot topics.

I love and value them. You cannot turn on another talk show and find an audience where everyone looks as good or has as much energy as mine. It’s a mistake to say that my show is solely a woman’s show, a gay man’s show or a black show. This show just happens to be hosted by a heterosexual, black woman who is married and almost 50 years old. In my mind, I am a fun but responsible woman.

Livingston talks at the conference about whether founders need an accelerator:

What I would probably do if it were me…if you were a seasoned entrepreneur and have done 10 startups and have heaps of investor connections, maybe you don’t need an incubator

She says successful founders have still come back to Y Combinator:

[…] They know this three months is going to be super-intense and it almost forces them to be productive and get stuff done, so we still add value.

Getting to wrestle at Madison Square Garden, where I grew up watching wrestling, wrestling Rob Van Dam for the Hardcore title, which was the main event on Monday Night Raw.

Esquire interview

Graham gives her thoughts on being cast as a sexy mother:

Maybe, I don’t know. I’m just glad to be working. I’m not actually a mom in real life, so it’s fun to pretend to be one. I like to approach things the same in art as in life. You can choose to look on the positive side and enjoy whatever roles you’re given. You can find the silver lining in anything.

It’s not only censorship like FCC business but most radio stations have a program director and they’re going to limit your lice infested bum talk to four minutes before you gotta go to a commercial.

Interview0 Comments

Sting appears on Warrior: The Ultimate Legend special on WWE Network. Sting speaks about longtime friend and former tag team partner, Ultimate Warrior.

One of my favorite things about The Ultimate Warrior was that he used to take tuna and orange juice, put it in a blender, guzzle the whole thing down, and say ‘Yeah, I got my vitamin C and I got my protein all in one.’

That’s just sexy, ain’t it? Look how aggressive she is. There’s something just about a woman that can you kick your behind. There’s just something sexy about it. I want Laila Ali to just punch me in the face. I want her to just take me…cause she does this move… an armbar.

W interview

Interview0 Comments

rosamund-pike-w-interviewPike is interviewed for W and discusses being a Bond girl, learning to box, and moving to L.A. On her Gone Girl role:

I do remember saying to David [Fincher], ‘I know you know I have this character in me; you zeroed in on me for good reason.’ With David Fincher, it’s like being X-rayed—he sees things that you may not want anyone to see. Now I have to prove him right—I have to show the world that I’m as dark as he thinks I am.”

I have to tell you, man, I’ve been pleasantly surprised at all the things that have opened up for me. I realized that all the independents are alive and well.

I also recently had the opportunity to start working with New Japan. So 2014 is becoming an awesome year for me.

Ultimate Warrior memorial published

Makes Statement0 Comments

Warrior’s wife, Dana pens memorial for her late husband and a message to his fans. WWE publishes the piece on WWE.com

On Sunday night, I was told WWE would pay tribute to Warrior and so I set the DVR planning to watch it when we were ready. As the hour neared, I broke resolve and turned on every TV in the house to full blast and snuggled our daughters close to me on the couch, unsure what we would see. As the scene unfolded with that amazing roster of talent gathered donning Ultimate Warrior shirts and even his face paint, we cheered and sobbed simultaneously. To everyone who stood there, thank you. My girls will remember your bowed heads for the rest of their lives. You are not just Superstars; you are super people.

He was my soul-mate, but he completely broke my heart. It makes you not trust anything that’s happened in your relationship. I feel so judged, but it’s not black and white.
