Teen Vogue cover
Minaj is featured on the cover of Teen Vogue’s June/July issue. Inside the issue is a Q&A in which she is asked why she no longer listens to critics.
I used to read the bad things people said about me, then I asked myself, ‘Why am I reading that when I have millions of people saying great things?’ You cannot give negativity power. I tell teens, if you’re having a problem, there’s nothing wrong with deleting your social media. If people keep taunting you and you keep reading it, it’s poison.
Maxim Interview
Morrison talks about creating the character Damien Wayne in his Batman comic book series:
I always liked that idea and it just seemed, you know, at the start of the storyline, you want to put an outrageous thing to open with. And I love the title, Batman And Son, because it was kind of like [1960s British sitcom] Steptoe And Son, like a family business. It could’ve been “Son Of Batman” but that’s not quite as cool as Batman And Son, which is the sort of thing you’d imagine written on the side of a window cleaner’s van. And it seemed like a really good thing to slap a paternity suit on Batman suddenly and have him confront this specter of his past.
Self cover
Mitchell appears on the cover of the June 2013 issue of Self magazine. Inside the magazine she talks about how she stays in shape and how she doesn’t do extreme diets.

Parade interview
Williams gives a tell all interview with Parade. During the interview Williams talks about her career, family and the one question she will not ask any woman.
No. The only thing that’s off-limits for me is asking a woman why she doesn’t want kids. I’ve had a bunch of miscarriages, and I begged God for little Kevin. But it was a difficult pregnancy, not a joyful time for me. I’ve learned that it can be a very personal thing to ask someone about.
The Talks interview
Langella gives an interview to The Talks. He discusses whether he likes being the center of attention, thinking about women, and regretting things everyday.
Oh sure. I made so many mistakes. And I am not against self-pity. I don’t think you should disallow yourself those feelings. If you want to feel sorry for yourself, roll up in a ball, lie over there, and feel sorry. Then get up and go on, but do allow yourself those feeling. Yesterday I was walking around in London and I thought, “Oh, I really regret that I didn’t take more time when I was here for a year doing Frost/Nixon.” Then I thought, “I can still do it.” And I forgave myself.
Wrestling101.com interview
Holly speaks about his first gimmick in WWE:
Honestly it was a gimmick in wrestling but I really do race cars in real life. Back in the eighties and early nineties everything in wrestling had a cartoon character theme to it.

Well, first of all, it’s working with the entire production and the entire creative team. You know how that works, how that happens, how to galvanize energies to move in alignment with a vision as the vision is developing. That’s an amazing thing. It’s an amazing experience for me.

I really just live my life. I love my body. It’s what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great. It’s kind of funny to think, ‘Oh, wow, the news is talking about whether I’m fat or not.’
The European Magazine interview
Branson tells The European Magazine that entrepreneurship is a crisis fix:
With staggering youth unemployment figures today I believe we need to encourage the use of terms like innovation and innovative as entrepreneurship offers some hope and an alternative to the traditional career path.
Fear of disruption holds ideas back:
Most people are too anxious to destroy. The iPod effectively destroyed the selling of records. To the detriment of the music industry but for the benefit of the public.
The new innovation with the best potential:
There’s a wonderful new company in New Zealand called Lanzatech that has invented a way of turning the waste products that go up the chimneys of steel and aluminium plants into aviation fuel. Recycling at its best. Once day all planes could operate on this fuel.

We don’t talk like everyday. But I just feel like me and her [Nicki] have such a good connection with together. Like we talk a good bit about the records that we’re doing and every now and then we show love, a birthday shout out and stuff like that. But we have a really cool chemistry with each other.
Future of News interview
Highfield talks to Future Medialab about the future of news, responding to the question: In five years’ time, how do you expect news to have changed?
In some way, news will be the same, people will still want to know what’s going on around them, particularly local and regional news news. The want to know things that matter in their community. What will change profoundly is the medium through they get their news. Increasingly on mobile people want utility information: traffic, travel, weather, breaking headlines, sports results. And in the newspaper they want more in-depth, investigative journalism. Things they can pore over for longer.
Tavis Smiley interview
Burnett discusses her late daughter, Carrie, and the book she wrote about their relationship, Carrie and Me: A Mother-Daughter Love Story, in this interview for PBS.

Hollywood Reporter ‘Measurement Crisis’ Q&A
In an interview with The Holywood Reporter, Yaccarino addresses the ‘Today; show slump, NBC’s programming challenges and the impact of the platform agnostic consumer.
There really is no media company like ours. I suspect that if you were able to design a media company of the future it would look a lot like this company.
On measuring consumer behavious:
We have a measurement crisis on our hands. Measurement is lagging considerably behind consumer behavior and we have got to get to a point where all viewing or interaction with content is measured on any screen. And we need to accelerate the evolution to that. It’s not just a digital issue. Obviously there’s vulnerabilities in that space as well. It’s very, very frustrating.

Piers Morgan interview
Lohan and the British reporter meet for a 90-minute interview at a Manhattan townhouse. Lohan answers Morgan’s questions about her childhood and parents, her drug and alcohol use, and her intimate relationships with both men and women. On her mandated return to rehab in three weeks time:
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with people taking time to just be by themselves. I think people want to see me do that. They will keep saying the same things about me if I don’t. I don’t think it will be a bad thing for me to be away with myself for three months. I look at it as a good thing. I can come back afterwards and be fully focused on work. But I think there are other things I could do instead of going to a rehab centre that would benefit me more. The best thing they could do for me would be to make me go abroad to different countries and work with children.
