angelina-jolie-marie-claire-july-2007Jolie appears on the cover of the July 2007 issue of Marie Claire magazine. She talks about when she’s most talkative and her children.

I’m so happy for my children – especially Mad. I didn’t know if he was ever going to have a dad. So when I watch them having real strong father-son time, or even when Mad tells me, ‘This is a boy thing, Mom’ – it’s just really beautiful to see.

Tyrese Gibson interview

Interview0 Comments

Gibson gives interview to Elle Magazine about his feud with James Franco on the set of Annapolis. 

James Franco is a Method actor. I respect Method actors, but he never snapped out of character. Whenever we’d have to get in the ring for boxing scenes, and even during practice, the dude was full-on hitting me. I was always like, James, lighten up, man. We’re just practicing. He never lightened up.

Vibe cover

Magazine Cover0 Comments

Knowles appears on the cover of the June 2007 issue of Vibe magazine. She talks about her music video for Flaw and All, footie pajamas, and being successful.

Mmm-hmm. And another song called ‘Still In Love (Kissing You).’ It’s a beautiful ballad. I didn’t have any hair and makeup. Just me on the beach and in the sun, and I brought one bathing suit ‘cause I was there for myself. It’s very artistic and grimey, and [there’s] no retouching. It is what it is. I wanted to show a different personality in every video. One is over-the-top and I’m kind of like a drag queen. And then, there’s ‘Upgrade U,’ where I’m acting like Jay. I don’t know what people would be surprised to know,

O Magazine interview

Interview0 Comments

McGreevey speaks to King in an interview for O Magazine about her husband cheating on her with another man.

I always thought of myself as a good judge of character people have always told me that but with Jim I was just totally off. He was charming, he was charismatic, he was always trying to help people. That’s the man I fell in love with. Actually, one person did say something to me once, but I was like, What are you talking about? Because there were also rumors that the two of us weren’t living in the same house. False things were always being said. That’s the nature of politics. So when one person mentioned the gay rumor, I dismissed it. That wasn’t the Jim I knew.

maxim_covers_114_l1Silverman appears on the cover of the June 2007 issue of Maxim magazine. She talks about female comics not being funny and acting like one of the guys to fit in.

The boys’ club is only something I’m aware of when I’m asked about it. In the beginning, you have to prove you’re for real—like anybody else. Nobody assumes you’re funny. I played a lot of basketball in N.Y.C., and I felt the boys’ club more then. I knew I had to make every basket and not f-ck up. I’m so queer.

Elle Magazine interview

Interview0 Comments

Church gives interview to Elle Magazine about experiencing a low sex drive after turning 40.

No, and people give us a hard time about it, actually. Last week, we were at the gym, kissing and flirting like teenagers. We had three different people come up to us and go, Oh c’mon! But I do have friends in long-standing relationships who tell me, Yeah, every second Saturday we try to have sex night.

BBC ‘still innovative’

Interview0 Comments

Responding to Greg Dyke’s comments that the iPlayer is losing ground, Highfield defends innovation at the BBC.

No one in the UK content market could innovate faster. The only thing that might stifle innovation would be the process of approving new services because that can take a long time. With BBC Trust approval framework for new services, we won’t always be able to be number one to market, but that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t or couldn’t be innovators.

He says the Company can help the transition to mobile:

The BBC can play this role of trusted guide, taking audiences through new mobile experiences and helping to build the market.

rayRay appears on the cover of People after to discuss marriage, her secrets to staying in shape, and how she doesn’t desire to have kids.

It’s fun to come home after a hard day’s work and just cook dinner. The place I’m happiest is curled up in bed with Rachael and the puppy. We’re very turtlelike. We listen to music, pour a glass of wine and watch Law & Order.

Touts accomplishments

Makes Statement0 Comments

Walker touts his accomplishments in speeches that he is getting county government turned around. He has presented the board with five annual budgets without any tax increases, even though this year the county is projected to have a $40 million deficit, he has cut off overly generous pension benefits for new employees, cut the county workforce by almost 20%, and has returned $60,000 in his annual salary. He is pushing for a water park on the county’s north side, and approves of spending $300,000 to clean up lagoons in the parks. He has improved mental health services, encouraged heavier lakefront patrols, endorsed more than $300 million for development of the Park East freeway corridor, and negotiated a new labor agreement that included health insurance concessions. He has long term goals for the county. When asked about running for reelection:

It would be hard to imagine putting out a list of five-year plans without planning on being around in five years.

On the other hand, some criticize him for deterioration of county parks and facilities, rejecting some privatization ideas, and the county board having a strong record of overriding his vetoes.

Steve Martin interview

Interview0 Comments

Groening is interviewed by Steve Martin on a panel discussion. They talk about their news advertisement for Fox News and The Simpsons news parody that they were only allowed to do once.

So they said we could do it once but they said we couldn’t do it again and the reason now is that it confuses the viewers, they may think that it’s real news.

O Magazine interview

McFadden speaks to Winfrey in an interview for O Magazine and tells how she feels about living in the same house where her children were murdered.

This is where they were born. I can still see their smudgy handprints on the walls. The plants they planted are here. Stuart’s tree is out in the front yard. Stan painted the house. The few minutes it took somebody to come in and put bullets into them is not what my children are all about.
