Katherine Heigl interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Heigl during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her role in the film The Nut Job. 

I’m really excited about it because it’s the first time I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of an animated movie. And with two small children all we do every night, especially in Utah because there’s not a lot to do, is watch animated movies with our daughters. Like, it’s our family time so I thought, ‘This is going to be great!’ I can actually sit down with my kids and watch one of mine that was a big reason why I wanted to [do the film].

Shakira interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Shakira during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her collaboration with Rihanna.

We’re both from the Caribbean, so I always thought we had this common ground and this song is pretty reggae, but it also has that rock attitude that I think Rihanna has, so that’s why I thought she was the natural choice for collaboration on this record, but I also thought it was a little bit of a challenge to get her to record this track because she’s so busy. I honestly thought it’d never happen, but I said, ‘I’m going to send it to her and see what happens.’ And she heard the record and she loved it and she said she was on board and I was the happiest girl alive!

Williams interviews Bilson about her family, career and her TV show Heart Of Dixie. On what it was like growing up with a mother that is a sex therapist:

Well it was very educational, not when I wanted the education. You know a little awkward for sure. Learning proper terms for things that most people wouldn’t even know what that means. Probably about 14 we had the talk. She would talk to me about stuff. She would slip it in like the middle of a conversation and I would be like, “Mom!” and run away.

Esquire interview

Interview0 Comments

DiCaprio talks about what comes with being the lead in a movie:

There’s so much more responsibility in being a lead. There’s the arc of that character and how each of your decisions affects the story line. When I was in Gilbert Grape, I could spit spaghetti out and climb trees and make any noise I wanted, because Johnny had to move the story along, for the story to make sense.

WWE.com interview

Interview0 Comments

Macklemore interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Macklemore during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about why he thinks he shouldn’t win the Grammy for Best Rap Album.

In terms of [that category], I think it should go to Kendrick. He’s family. TDE is family, and I understand why Hip-Hop would feel like Kendrick got robbed [if he didn’t win]. I’m not trying to compare albums; I think you can make an argument for both. With that being said, I am a huge supporter of what Kendrick does. And because of that, I would love to win in a different category. We obviously had massive success on commercial radio, and I think that, in ways, The Heist was a bigger album, but Kendrick has a better rap album.
