ABC News Radio interview

Interview0 Comments

ABC News Radio host David Blaustein talks with Cosby and his socially conscious hip hop project—The Cosnarati—about their album State of Emergency.

I wanted to put these particular philosophies into a media that would be able to entertain people. I think that finding the writers for it was probably one of the best experiences I’ve ever had because working in television and movies with writers, its very, very difficult to get pages that just jump right at you and say exactly what you want.

Talks about Camp

Interview0 Comments

Kendrick discusses getting the Camp role. A cousin to the director encouraged her to audition for the movie:

There was a woman in High Society named Randy Graff, and she’s cousins with Todd Graff, who directed Camp. When I was 13 and the show had just closed, she told me that I should go and audition for her cousin’s movie. I went and I read for [the part of] Fritzi and they did a workshop of it when I was 13, and then when he was finally getting it made, I was 16 and he said the job was still mine if I wanted it. It wasn’t really an age-specific role.

Griffin appears on the cover of the December 2009/January 2010 issue of Michigan Avenue magazine. She talks about A-listers.

When I look at someone like Megan Fox, I think, OK, have at it, honey. Enjoy it. But what you have does go away. I’m all about the old-school people that just have really learned a lot, survived a lot. To me, the real A-lister is going to be at that table in 20 years, 30 years. It’s probably not the Maxim Hot 100 Girl of this year. It’s Jerry Springer, who could buy and sell the Hancock building. I’m telling you, there’s a secret society of people who are richer than anybody on the Forbes list.

Blunt appears on the cover of the December 2009 issue of Los Angeles Confidential magazine. She talks about her movie The Adjustment Bureau, her fiancé, and dance training.

Yeah. Every day I’m in dance boot camp. It’s a wonderful idea to have the girl be a dancer, but it’s very high maintenance. I’m really loving the challenge. I’m training with this amazing ballet company, and it’s been a real awakening for me when it comes to fitness. Everything hurts all the time.

taylor-swift-nyt-t-magazineSwift appears on the cover of the Holidays 2009 issue of New York Times Style magazine.

If I were to do karaoke, it would probably be something from Grease! I’d sing “You’re The One That I Want” — or Def Leppard. Whenever I hear Def Leppard, I just freak out.

Interview0 Comments

Bodhi discusses his WWE career:

Working with WWE was awesome and awful all at once… Being there was realizing my childhood dream and for that I will always be grateful to Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis… Getting to perform in front of sooo many excited fans at Smackdown and on the live events is an indescribable high! The glitz of Smackdown TV was awesome and made me felt like I was a rockstar but wrestling at the live events was more me because my producers would let me be me and the fans got everything I had!

DeGeneres talks about the work that goes in to her talk show Ellen:

It’s a lot of work to put a brand-new monologue and a brand-new show on the air and find comedy every single day. It’s challenging and it’s the hardest thing I have ever done, but it’s the best-suited thing for me. The more relaxed I get and the more confident I feel, the more I get to play and be myself and say whatever I feel like saying and not worry about whether I’m being a good interviewer. Although sometimes, I admit, you’re talking to people and you’re like, Oh please, have something to say! But in general I’m just more and more confident that if I’m myself, people are going to enjoy it more.

miley-cyrus-seventeen-styleCyrus appears on the cover of the January 2010/December 2009 issue of Seventeen magazine. She talks about picking trends for her fashion line, touring, and her co-star Liam Hemsworth.

So I heard a rumor that he didn’t really want the role, and so when he came in to audition for the role, I’m thinking Here’s this guy, he’s amazingly good-looking, super-confident, and he doesn’t realize how blessed he is to be in this room, because I know how blessed I am. This is such a big opportunity for both of us.

I get my rebellion out through my movies. I’m boring in that way. I enjoy having a normal life. I started there [at my school] in the ninth grade, and they were pretty receptive to me right away. I really wanted a home base, because I feel like no matter how old people are, they remember homecoming. They remember their senior prom. And I really wanted that.

Tameka Foster interview

Interview0 Comments

Williams interviews celebrity stylist Tameka Foster on The Wendy Williams experiment on her career and what she thinks of Usher’s relationship with his mother.

You know a lot of rumors are started by music and record label people. It’s bad because Usher and his mother have a very unique relationship. He loves his mother very much. He takes his mother to every award show. Like that’s his date most times. He loves his mother, he respects his mother but they have its almost like a split personality relationship. She’s his manager so when their talking about management, business, numbers, times, dates. It’s like that but that’s mommy. He kisses on her, that’s mommy.

fergieFergie appears on the cover of People after rumors swirl that her husband Duhamel had sex with a stripper.

They’re two very different, very passionate people. And in recent years the couple have both put career very high, and often before each other, and they’ve spent less and less time with each other. She’s certainly disappointed with all the rumors about cheating. It hurts. They’re both very devoted to each other so they’ll work through whatever issues they have, but it’s not easy.

Cusack gives interview to Elle about his most violent encounter with a woman.

I was in Almería, Spain, on the set of this movie Straight to Hell. This great female singer, who I won’t name but who was going out with Elvis Costello at the time came over to me. I think she may have been trying to make him jealous, because she said to me, Give me a kiss. I looked over at Elvis Costello, who’s one of my idols, and said to her, Not a good idea. And then she round-housed me to the jaw.

Letterman Interview

Williams interviews with Dave on the David Letterman show to promote William’s new movie Old Dogs but ended-up cracking jokes about Sarah Palin, the former Governor of Alaska.

It’s wonderful, I went looking for her book and I found it in the fantasy aisle. With Sarah you get the feeling she was voted least likely to write a book and most likely to burn one. You look at her and wonder ‘Where did they find her, Project Running Mate?’

Baldwin gives interview to Elle about why turning 50 was much worse than turning 40.

Because 30, you’re not old, but you’re not incontrovertibly young anymore. In your twenties, you can write anything off. But once you turn 30, you gotta get serious about everything. So 30 was hard. Forty was not. Fifty, though. You gotta love a man who talks about age like a woman.
