obamasThe Obamas appear on the cover of People giving a view into their hectic home life. Michelle on whether she envisioned her husband running for president:

Whooo-boy! No. To me, life was you get married, you have kids, you buy a home. I thought Barack would be a partner at a law firm or maybe teach or work in the community. We’d watch our kids go to college and go to their weddings and take care of the grandkids and that was it.

Elle Magazine interview

Interview0 Comments

MacLachlan gives interview to Elle about an angry moment with a woman.

My mother. She was mostly even-tempered, but when she blew, she was like a volcano. I remember when I was really little, a bunch of older neighborhood kids came over, and we were all building this tree house. Somebody said, We should make it the Playboy Club. I had no idea what Playboy was, but I made a wooden sign that said playboy club and put it on our tree fort. Well, my mom saw it and I remember the call that came from inside the house echoing through the yard, in front of all the cool kids. Oh, it was grim. Then I got the arm hang with one of her hands and the spank with the other all the way to the house.

Cyrus appears on the cover of a July 2008 issue of Billboard magazine. She talks about her album Breakout and her semi-nude photo in Vanity Fair.

I was embarrassed, but also it’s like, every career thing that I do can’t be perfect, and sometimes my decisions are wrong. I think that just makes me even more relatable. I don’t think people will look at me any differently because they’re like, ‘You know what, I’m going to do stupid stuff too, and I’m going to make mistakes, and that’s fine.’ It still hurts when I think about it — but you know what, it doesn’t mean that you can’t move on.

The women on that list are amazing, so to be on it for the first time and have this position is crazy. I’m not one to walk around and strut like Miss Thing, so I’m pretty humbled.

BuddyTV interview

Interview0 Comments

Musso discusses meeting his fans, his singing, and his movie, Hatching Pete in an interview with BuddyTV.

It’s been something that I’ve been doing all my life, doing like musical theater and stuff like that, but I never really wanted to go into singing. My family is so amazing, my mom and my dad are absolutely amazing, they’ve been in musical theater for 25 years. And of course my brother, who is in Metro Station, their song “Shake It” just went gold the other day. I think I never really wanted to consider myself with them. Now that he’s on the road and stuff, it’s just kind of me at home, I’m like, you know, I kind of wanted to try it. That’s pretty much what this past year and a half or so has really been devoted to.

Elle Magazine interview

Interview0 Comments

Common gives interview to Elle about his biggest love lesson.

That no matter how much you love somebody, you’ve got to love yourself first. If you’re truly loving yourself, you won’t allow some things to go down, and you’ll have boundaries. I was so in love that I gave up certain things about me, and that showed a lack of love for myself. It turned out to be such a big blessing that we broke up, because I got that lesson. I actually wrote a children’s book about it called I like You But I Love Me.

O Magazine interview

Shriver talks to Winfrey in an interview for O Magazine about making a name for herself in the world and finding her way.

I’d have to find another thing. That’s what I wrote about in the book Just Who Will You Be? I made the mistake of thinking that external accomplishments would bring me peace. I thought it was about the job or a book or making a name for myself. So many people would come up to me and say, Which Kennedy are you? At a very young age, I thought, You’re going to know which one I am. I decided that I was going to be the Kennedy who makes her own name and finds her own job and works like a dog. My comeuppance was when Arnold got elected I became the Kennedy who was married to the governor.

shia-labeouf-gq-june-2008LaBeouf appears on the cover of the June 2008 issue of GQ magazine. He talks about working on Indiana Jones and his female co-stars.

I’ve been in love with every woman I’ve ever worked with (Megan Fox, Sarah Roemer and Michelle Monaghan). [But] there’s the three-month attention span that actors have. I don’t know if it’s mutual, but I really don’t care. They have to kiss me when ‘action’ gets called, anyway, so I’ll get what I want.
