Jennifer Lopez interview
Seacrest interviews Lopez during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about Phillip Philips winning season 11 of American Idol.
As much as I love Jessica, and knew her voice is so outstanding I kind of felt like Phillip was going to win. I just felt like he connected with the audience in a way, like when he would come out, and the way they would scream, certain things, you just feel like that’s your ‘Idol.
Esquire interview
Murray talks about working with Willis in the movie Moonrise Kingdom:
I got along great with Bruce Willis. He’s different, though. He’s rolled as a movie star for a long time, so it’s a little different for him coming into Wes Anderson’s world, where no one gets movie-star treatment. Life really does change when you go on one of Wes’s films — you gotta sit back and relax. But Bruce absolutely delivered. He was really game. It was like, Let’s play. Sometimes you get people that don’t want to play — they just want to perform, to act. He’s a movie star, I’ve been a movie star — we don’t have to take this so seriously.

Wrestling101.com interview
Van Dam gives his thoughts about what influenced him to become a professional wrestler:
I started watching wrestling through WrestleMania and for WrestleMania II I actually watched in an arena and paid to watch it on a screen. Hulk Hogan was the man, but I was a big Ultimate Warrior fan. Some of the guys that caught my attention weren’t necessarily the main focus, I liked ‘Leaping’ Lenny Poffo a lot because he would do flying headbutts and moonsults, when other guys wouldn’t even leave their feet and that caught my imagination.
Globe & Mail interview
Branson tells the Globe and Mail that he wants brothels to be legalized, licensed and taxed, and an end to the practice of slicing the fins off sharks for shark soup and discarding the fish to die. He hopes marijuana sales will be legalized and taxed to fund social programs such as treatment centres for hard-drug users, and sees Portugal’s drug laws as an example:
In the last 10 years, they have not sent one person to prison for taking drugs and HIV infections have dropped by 50 per cent. They give out clean needles, they build treatment centres, marijuana use among young people has declined and society has saved a lot of money

Williams undergoes a beauty make-under for XOJane. During the make-under Williams talks about why people think she was born a man and why she wears wigs full time.
When I take it down my natural hair, it barely covers my head. People always want to know what it’s like. It’s a good texture, just thin. I wash and tuck.
Responds to claims
Guinness says the White Stripes were acknowledged as record-holders for shortest concert in the 2009 edition, but have since scrapped the category.
Subsequent to this appearance we received a large volume of applications from bands and performers seeking to beat this record. The ultimate results of this was individuals claiming that simply appearing onstage was enough to qualify them for this record.
The organization also encourages White to “attempt any of the 40,000 records that are currently active on our database.”
PBS Makers interview
Albright is interviewed for the PBS Makers series. She talks about her life and political career.
Women are very lucky in many ways, because our life does come in segments. Some of it broken up by the time to have children, or have a career. So I think that women can do everything, they just can’t do it all at the same time.
The Talks interview
Hawke gives an interview to The Talks. He discusses what he expected the film business would be like, selling out, and whether he will be in the film business forever.
I don’t know. It’s been a lot harder than I thought it was going to be to make the films I really dream of making. I was in Italy a few years ago scouting for this very beautiful film I wanted to make with Richard Linklater. We worked really hard on the script for a couple of years and couldn’t get the money together. It was an expensive idea. It’s heartbreaking when that happens over and over again and then the movies that do get made are ones that have lots of women being beaten up or zombies being killed.
The Art of Wrestling interview
Ion is a guest on The Art of Wrestling to discuss TNA, becoming a wrestler and being on television.

Claims Guinness denied world record
White claims the Guinness Book of World Records denied The White Stripes’ record for shortest concert in history for its 2007 show.
The thing is, though, that the Guinness book is a very elitist organisation. There’s nothing scientific about what they do. They just have an office full of people who decide what a record is and what isn’t. Most of the records in there – who has the biggest collection of salt-and-pepper shakers or whatever – are just whatever they want them to be.
People cover
Kardashian appears on the cover of People to discuss putting her show, Keeping Up With Kardashians, on pause and her husbands career.

Jet Magazine cover, interview
Williams gives an interview to Jet Magazine and is featured on the cover. Williams talks about her son and what its like raising a black man.
Raising a young Black man is very different. We have tought him to be respectful to adults, and if they step out of line, let us handle it. We tell him you don’t speak with your hands in your pocket. You’re a black man. People will assume you have a gun, not a permission slip.
Carrie Underwood, Mike Fisher interview
Underwood and Fisher talk with Winfrey in a first ever exclusive TV interview on Oprah’s Next Chapter.
We would try to and we need to be better about this too. You know we’ll try to read kinda the same stuff every once in a while and kinda having this to talk about.
Maxim Interview
Ulrich talks about filming the Metallica video St. Anger in San Quentin Prison:
Very intimidating—trust me. It’s surreal being inside San Quentin and looking out at the surrounding area where every morning I drive my kids to school. I now know which chimney is the exhaust pipe from the gas chamber. It’s truly, truly bizarre.
Michael Ealy interview
Williams interviews Michael Ealy and questions him on staring in the film Think Like A Man.

Andy Cohen interview
Williams interviews Andy Cohen and talks about why he lied to Oprah.
I had worked at CBS news for 10 years. I am the biggest Oprah fan, huge. So she was coming into the studio to tape an interview to post tape an interview after the show. I had tried to also get her to do a separate interview for a series I was doing about talk show queens of the day. Then her people politely declined. I kept asking and they kept declining. I am so crazy and my mouth has gotten me into so much trouble. So during the interview I just say keep rolling the tape we will do the second interview. I lied to Oprah. People are asking what are you doing. I’m like I don’t know whats going on? Later that day I get a phone call in my office It’s Oprah.
The Art of Wrestling interview
Lynn is a guest on The Art of Wrestling to discuss wrestling and retirement from a full time schedule.
I wish I could do it forever but I can’t. My body is telling me enough is enough. The doctor who did my surgery highly suggested I quit wrestling … that was a good six or seven years ago.
