harmonHarmon appears on the cover of People to discuss how she plans on giving her daughters a Christmas they’ll never forget.

I have to watch all four of the movies while I wrap. And if my husband comes in and talks, I shush him. I’m aware there’s nothing Christmassy about it, and it’s weird but it’s my favorite.

David gives his thoughts about narrating the documentary The War:

I learned that the world is still reeling from the impact of World War II—how we went into the war, how we came out of it, and how we’ve dealt with it since. It was very interesting to track the war’s effect through the eyes of our elders. I was proud that these veterans could tell their stories.

Reilly gives interview to Elle Magazine about sex advice from his dad.

My family was too Catholic to actually talk about embarrassing stuff like that. Even with my parents, there was none of this Let’s have the talk. I was just turned loose in my neighborhood and figured it out by finding rain-soaked Playboys behind the liquor store. But my dad did give me what was honestly the best advice I ever got. He said, Look, it’s just as hard, if not harder, to do the wrong thing as to do the right thing. So save yourself the energy, and do the right thing in the first place.

O Magazine interview

Interview0 Comments

Seinfeld speaks to Winfrey in an interview for O Magazine about producing Bee Movie.

I asked Steven Spielberg to direct a commercial I was going to make for American Express. I’d never met him, but I thought, What the hell why don’t I call? I’m Jerry Seinfeld, I’m not just nobody. [Laughs] Steven says, I can’t do it, but why don’t we have dinner tomorrow in East Hampton? I say, That sounds great. Then I hang up the phone and go, Oh my God! I’m a Jewish boy from Long Island, and I’m having dinner with Steven Spielberg! It was like my second Bar Mitzvah.

[At dinner] when we started talking about kids we were off to the races, but then the conversation ground to a halt. It happens to the best of us. As an entertainer, that’s when I kick into gear and say something witty to jump-start the conversation. The night before, I was sitting with a couple of friends, eating a Twizzler, and I said, What if somebody did a film called Bee Movie, and it was about bees? So during the dinner with Steven, I said this to relieve the lull we’d just crashed into. I figured, he’s a director, he’ll relate to the term B movie. But he didn’t laugh; he fixed his eyes on me and said, We’re going to make that movie. I was like, What do you mean we, Kemosabe? He said it was a great idea, and when he gets excited, it’s almost scary. He can get everyone else in the room excited! You don’t meet older people like that too often. It’s wonderful.

Seinfeld gives his thoughts on ending his NBC sitcom Seinfeld:

My managers and I still wonder: Did we stop at the right time? Before we ended the show, Jack Welch [former CEO of General Electric, which owns NBC] told me, Your ratings are still rising. Yes, I said, but the only way to see the end of a hill is to go past it and realize you’re going down.

It’s funny. People think I’m tough because of the characters I play. In real life I’m not tough. I’m more of a cuddle bug than a tough sex goddess. I may look like a bad girl, but I’m just built that way. I’m actually a good girl.

Marsden gives interview to Elle Magazine about what his wife complains about when he is not around.

I’m going to see if I can guess this right. Not helping as much with the kids as I should? She says no. Wanting sex too much? Not that either. Oh, that’s it: When I’m getting ready to start work on a job, I turn into a vegetable, like I’ve gotten a lobotomy. I always think that I’m going to mess it up and it will be my last job. So I check out for a couple weeks before I start. It drives her crazy.

She was making fun of herself and it came out completely out of context. She is such a good person, one of the people in the industry who has gone out of her way to support other women. It really hurt her that people would be so quick to think something bad.
