hillHill appears on the cove of People to share her plans over the Christmas holiday with her family. On holidays while growing up:

When I was growing up in Mississippi, we did a lot of caroling. You’d meet at someone’s house, drink hot chocolate, sing and come back to watch movies. It was simple, good, clean fun.

foxFox appears on the cover of People after discovering he has Parksinson’s disease. He explains how he’s coping with the symptoms while raising four kids. On working:

My whole mission during dinner was to time my medication so when I got up with The Who I could actually play. Because if I mistimed that, there’s a chance I’d get up there and not be able to move my arms at all.

How to Get Funding

Interview0 Comments

In an interview, Feld talks about the challenges for early-stage investors when raising funds:

There’s a sense among entrepreneurs that there’s a set of things that you need to do in response to what you hear from from venture capitalists that increase your chances of getting funding. Particularly challenging for first time or early-stage entrepreneurs that are going through that cycle, where they get feedback that says, ‘if only you had this, or if you only had that…’ And usually what that means is that the person you are talking to is probably not going to fund you and you should look harder for somebody that’s actually interesting funding you at the stage that your at.

Dane gives interview to Elle about him and Jack Nicholson dating the same woman.

Jack Nicholson is Jack Nicholson. The guy’s a colossal personality and I’m sure he’s charming, and I bet she had a lot of fun with him, but my take on the whole thing was, I’m 30. He’s 70. This is not going to go down like this. I couldn’t comprehend a 35-year-old woman gravitating toward a 70-year-old man.

McGregor is interviewed in the bedroom of a house in Newbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland.

Without a doubt you will see me in the UFC in the future…I started MMA a few years ago and I really, really love it. It’s like an addition for me. I train twice a day. I don’t want to do anything else…If you’re not dedicated your not going to go anywhere…My dream is to be world lightweight champion in the UFC, to have more money than I know what to do with, and have a great life for my kids and my grandkids and everyone who has come up with me…

Pink gives an interview to Oprah for O Magazine about his book A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future. 

In many professions, what used to matter most were abilities associated with the left side of the brain: linear, sequential, spreadsheet kind of faculties. Those still matter, but they’re not enough. What’s important now are the characteristics of the brain’s right hemisphere: artistry, empathy, inventiveness, big-picture thinking. These skills have become first among equals in a whole range of business fields.

cosl-2009-01-coverStewart appears on the cover of the January 2009/December 2008 issue of Teen Vogue magazine. She talks about never reading the Twilight books, her character in Twilight, and fashion.

If I’m just chilling out, then people can see me any which way, but it’s different when you’re putting yourself together to do something professionally. You’re under a lot of scrutiny. It’s a bizarre thing, to me, to consider that what I wear or what I do with my hair, can affect my career… I’m not the type of person who has a million things in my closet to put together, so I’ve begun to work with a stylist and we’ve started to figure out what I like. Simple, classically pretty things; I love Chanel.

I really don’t like taking off my clothes and running around naked… I would never go to one of those beaches, you know, the kinds where people take their clothes off. I’m too shy.

reese-witherspoon-parade-coverWitherspoon appears on the cover of a November 2008 issue of Parade magazine. She talks about her divorce, her biggest problem in life, and giving her kids a good value system.

I’m teaching the children what we were taught growing up—a real set of rules, discipline, and love. Children thrive with a sense of structure, and they’re frightened without it. The ways you behave, how you speak to other people—those things don’t leave you… The other day my son said to me, ‘Mama, why do I have to take off my hat in the house?’ I was like, ‘Because it’s respectful. That’s why you take off your hat.’ And he goes, ‘And I always have to take off my hat in church, too!’ It really bothered him. But those values sustain a life. Respect. Faith. Empathy. Compassion.

Franco gives interview to Elle about how he prepared to play a gay man in Milk. 

You mean, how did I prepare to kiss Sean Penn? As far as the kissing and intimacy, no, Sean and I did not make out during rehearsals or anything like that. I just knew I had to be relaxed and natural or it was going to be ridiculous. So I guess, when you’re actually kissing, you try not to think about it too much. There was one shot where, I don’t know how long it actually turned out to be in the movie, but the shot took about a minute to film. We had to kiss for a minute, which is a very long time on-screen.

Wentz gives interview to Elle about the most common problems with wearing guy-liner.

Wearing it to the point where people only recognize you as “that guy who wears eyeliner. I don’t really wear it anymore because of that. I think I ended up on People‘s 50 Most Beautiful People list just because of eyeliner, which is kind of a bummer. But if you do find the right color, it will make your eyes pop. There are a couple great M.A.C eye shadows that you can blend so it looks like eyeliner gone awry. There’s a great Dior blue mascara, but it works only if you have lighter eyes than mine. And don’t wear eyeliner with too much facial hair. It looks strange.
