Vanity Fair cover
Moss appears on the cover of the December 2012 issue of Vanity Fair magazine. She talks about anorexia rumours, reported heroine use, and her ex-boyfriend Johnny Depp.
There’s nobody that’s ever really been able to take care of me. Johnny did for a bit. I believed what he said… like if I said, ‘What did I do?,’ he’d tell me. And that’s what I missed when I left. I really lost that gauge of somebody I could trust. Nightmare. Years and years of crying. Oh, the tears!
Glow cover
Hudgens appears on the cover of the Winter 2012 issue of Glow magazine. She talks about her sex scene in Spring Breakers, changing her look for Gimme Shelter, and following her heart.
At the end of the day, I’m going to do what I want to do, regardless of whether it may upset someone. But I think that if I’m doing right for myself, then that’s all I really need to care about.
Cosmopolitan cover
Swift appears on the cover of the December 2012 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. She talks about what she can’t handle in relationships and her past relationships.
I need that unexplainable spark…I just need to see someone and feel ‘Oh, no, uh-oh.’ It’s only happened a few times in my life, but I feel like if I was gonna be with someone forever, it would be because I saw them and I thought, ‘Oh, no.’ I’ve had a lot of dark and twisty situations happen, enough to realize that when someone exhibits signs of evoking a dark and twisty relationship and dark and twisty feelings, it’s not interesting to me. I’ve learned when to get out. I’ve never wasted too much time with the wrong person and that’s one thing I’m proud of.
Harper’s Bazaar cover
Swift appears on the cover of the December 2012/January 2013 issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine. She talks about wearing dresses, dating, and the inspiration for her music.
Some combinations of people are toxic, you know? You have to find the right one that isn’t just going to explode into fiery ash and destruction. Despite all of that and how unpleasant it is, as a writer you get a lot from it. It’s a crazy justification system. You know that guy you really wish you could erase from your memory? But then the answer is track six, eight, 12, and 13.
Elle cover
Lawrence appears on the cover of the December 2012 issue of Elle magazine. She talks about her boyfriend, not starving herself for a role, and not living extravagantly.
Ten million dollars and I’m still living in my parents’ condo…I’ve always lived in a tiny rat-infested apartment in New York, or a little condo in L.A., or a normal house in Kentucky. I think it would be very bizarre to live in a big mansion by myself.
Allure cover
Knightley appears on the cover of the December 2012 issue of Allure magazine. She talks about when she’s getting married and nudity in acting roles.
I’m quite rigorous about what gets exposed. No bottom half! I don’t mind exposing my tits because they’re so small—people really aren’t that interested!
Seventeen cover
Greene appears on the cover of the January 2013/December 2012 issue of Seventeen magazine. She talks about her famous exes, funny things that happen on the set of Twilight, and her hopes for 5 years from now.
Healthy and happy. Ideally my career will be extremely stable. I really don’t want to be here for a minute and then gone the next. In five years I wouldn’t be opposed to having a husband and thinking about kids. Okay, maybe 10 years for that! And I want to win an Oscar or an Emmy.
Teen Vogue cover
The members of One Direction appear on their own individual covers of the December 2012/January 2013 issue of Teen Vogue magazine. They talk about obsessive fans, staying grounded, and performing at Los Angeles Staples Center. Styles says:

Financial Times interview
Carter is interviewed by The Financial Times. He talks about the launch of LittleMonsters.com and how data from the many South American fans led to the expansion of a tour there.
Our bet is on the future of micronetworks. Facebook wasn’t wired to build a relationship between fans and artists. It’s more about communicating with family and friends and old girlfriends or your classmates; 51m likes doesn’t mean we’re going to sell 51m albums or concert tickets. [It’s a] misconception when people talk about a direct relationship between artists and their fans or brands and consumers through social media. The reality is that these platforms own the relationship. So as much as you can talk directly to a customer or a fan, you still have this intermediary . . . that controls the data. And at any given time, if they turn it off or they change an algorithm, like Facebook did with its newsfeed algorithm last year, it changes the way you’re able to communicate with that fan or customer
About his abilities as an artist:
I stay away from the arts . . . writing songs, being creative – those are downloads from god. You can’t do data analytics on art.
The importance of hiring outsiders:
My COO didn’t come from the music industry, my vice-president of creative was actually a schoolteacher. It was important we had people who came from an outside perspective, who didn’t come from selling CDs.
Claims police planted cocaine in weapons donation
According to McAfee’s blog the reason for the raid is that one of the cases containing the weapons he donated to the police contained a bag of cocaine. McAfee denies that he takes or deals in drugs.
I would indeed have to be the stupidest man in the world to donate stuff to the police that contained cocaine.
Jessica Biel interview
Biel guests on Conan to chat about her recent marriage to Justin Timberlake, and explains to O’Brien that he can no longer flirt with her. She also talks about her childhood as a tomboy, including being into sports and decapitating dolls.
Yeah, I had Barbies for a minute, but they didn’t really stick around very long. I ended up mutilating them, pulling their heads up, cutting up all of their hair, dying them with markers, and sticking them on the Christmas tree lights.
Jordin Sparks, Jason Derulo interview
Williams interviews Sparks and boy friend Jason Derulo for the first time ever as a couple.
No. It was not exactly love at first sight. We were actually, we were both called to do a show in the Bahamas last year and it was awesome cause we had meet each other before. But there was nothing, like we just saw each other in passing. And then he [Jason] invited me to the after party afterwards.
Tavis Smiley interview
Anderson discusses his career and new NBC sitcom, Guys with Kids, in this interview for PBS.
It’s good to be back in the sitcom world, because I had a little departure, because I did have something to prove on the dramatic side, just because people like yourself, who sit back home – we met years ago, didn’t see it.
1070 The Fan in Indianapolis interview
Williams discusses what he learned during North Carolina’s loss to Butler:
I don’t know that it’s the best thing, but it did open our eyes a little bit, because we really haven’t played … a very difficult schedule. My nine years that I’ve been here, our schedule’s been ranked in the top 25 most difficult schedules every year, I think, except one, and like five times in the top 10. … Butler, all of the sudden, is a good team, and they hit us right in the mouth, and they backed us up. And we never came back for about 28 minutes, and then all of a sudden, we did have a sense of urgency. … I liked our toughness at that point, but, man, we let them hit us right in the mouth to start with. … It showed us a lot of holes in our game.
Apologizes to Wise
According to a previous post by McAfee, Wise had come to New Mexico to write about McAfee’s flying adventures for Wired magazine, and had spent the night with a woman who was not his wife. Their public display of affection had prompted McAfee to say to the other guests, “somebody get pictures of this to send to his wife in case we get a bad story from him”. According to McAfee, despite this being a joke pictures were actually taken and some of those did find their way to Wise’s wife. McAfee says Wise blamed him for sending the pics and apologizes on his blog:
I have erroneously accused Jeff Wise of improper behavior on a reporting trip that he did to my flying ranch in New Mexico. I finally received the photos from that trip and was going to publish them, and when I looked at them, to my horror, it was a different reporter (whose name I will obviously not release) from a different magazine, on a different trip. I wish that I could excuse myself due to the fact that I did dozens of interviews and appeared in dozens of magazines during my flying times in New Mexico, and could be expected to be confused, but that is no excuse. Jeff’s trip did not even include a campfire session…I was wrong. I apologize. I know that that does not help, but I am truly sorry.
John McAfee apologizes to me on his blog. http://t.co/cbeZWeI8 Wasn't expecting that!

Wrestling101.com interview
Palumbo speaks about leaving WWE in 2004:
Well that’s a very tricky question because I never really got a good answer. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes at the WWE, many things that we don’t know about. I was told the writers did not know how to use me, but when it comes down to it, if the agents/producers aren’t pushing you to the writers then they aren’t going to write for you, and at the time the producers just weren’t pushing for me, that’s just how it works, it’s a tough business and I am not one for politicking.
