Parker appears on the cover of People to discuss spending more time with her child and why she quit Sex and the City.
Having a child changes you. Before him, I would have sacrificed myself completely for my work. After him, she didn’t even want to sacrifice giving a bedtime bath. You cross the threshold of your home, and if your baby is awake, you drop everything and run. You could be exhausted, upset, discouraged, disappointed. And you see him and it just changes

She reached out to touch his head, like, trying to kiss him. And they gave each other a little kiss. But he really wasn’t reacting to her. It seemed like something was wrong.

Hart talks about managing The Great Muta in WCW:
They approached me about a Kabuki-type wrestler, and I said, I do have a wrestler in mind, he’s not a Kabuki, but someone very similar. I looked at three, or four Japanese wrestlers and there was a young kid in Florida at the time, a mid-card level wrestler by the name of the White Ninja, I said Bring him in.” I spent four or five weeks with him in smaller towns in the Carolinas, I decided that he was someone that we could do something with. He was very talented, very hungry at the time, really wanted to break through.
O Magazine interview
Madonna speaks about kissing Spears on the MTV Video Music Awards in an interview with O Magazine.
When Britney went to kiss me, she just went for it. I tried to go with it so it wouldn’t be weird. I’m a showgirl. After 20 years in show business, I’ve learned to roll with the punches. Also, you remember when Michael Jackson kissed Lisa Marie Presley on the MTV awards?
Pro Wrestling Radio interview
Blackman discusses his tag team with Snow in WWE:
I don’t know, we just kind of fell into that, they put us together. We were doing something backstage, we had like a funny promo and it kind of stuck. After that people started doing that head cheese gimmick. You know people used to pop see what crazy thing that Al was going to have me do on the next TV. Every week he had me doing something ridiculous. I didn’t even believe him when I’d get there. Somebody would say, Hey, come over here. We are going to do this with you. I would be like, Yeah right. Like ten times in row, I wouldn’t believe them, and every time that was what we would be doing.

I thought Ellen Burstyn was going to win, so I had a great weekend before. My sister and her husband were there, and it was something I wish everyone could experience just once. We went to the (pre-) Oscar parties, and everywhere you went, everybody seemed happy.
Accused of phony budgeting
David Riemer, running against Walker for County Executive, accuses him of phony budgeting and challenges him to sign a “no surprises, no layoffs” pledge for 2004 in the wake of 280 county employees being laid off this past year. Instead of vetoing the county board’s revision of his proposed budget, Walker signs it while expressing concerns about meeting it. Riemer:
If Walker thought the budget wasn’t balanced, he should have sent it back or used his line-item veto power to alter it. This isn’t leadership, this is showmanship.
Pro Wrestling Radio interview
Austin speaks about his 1996 Survivor Series match against Hart:
Bret goes to me, Hey man good match. I’ll work with you anytime. So, I guess he is the one that told the office, Hey, I can work with Austin. He kept watching my matches, and I was hand picked by Bret for his comeback, because that was his comeback. Man, it was a blast. I don’t refer to that match a whole lot because I do not think a lot of people just in general don’t remember that match, but if you are a wrestling fan you do remember that match, and I have watched that match just as much as the Wrestlemania XIII match, and some of the other matches that I have had that were my favorites.
O Magazine interview
Williams talks about playing against her older sister Venus when she was growing up in an interview with O Magazine.
When we were younger, it was difficult for me to play Venus because she’d always beat me so badly. I had to improve just so I could stay in the game. Even now when we practice together, I have to watch out because she’ll just blow me off the court.

O Magazine interview
Hayek gives her thoughts on the challenges that Latin women face in Hollywood in an interview with O Magazine.
Because there was no industry or parts for Latin women when I came here, there was really no competitiveness. Jennifer Lopez and I were the first, and I think Jennifer was my partner at the beginning. I think it was important for others to see two of us, because maybe then we could be thought of as a social phenomenon. Because she doesn’t have a foreign accent, Jennifer tried out for parts I couldn’t get.
Pro Wrestling Radio interview
Steamboat addresses WWE purchasing WCW:
I definitely think it does not leave too many options for the guys. If you have another company out there, it at least gave you somewhat of a chance if things did not work out with one organization, you could try and go work for the other. I think that, there was certainly enough money backing WCW, I put some of the blame on the boys. Having people that were up in the office trying to run a wrestling company without that much of any kind of wrestling company background. As you know, first, second, and even third generation families, all usually ran most of the companies that were around in wrestling. Here we got people, they may be great business people but the wrestling business is a different kind of business, you know?

The country star speaks to Kurt Loder just a few weeks before his death about his career, his wife; June Carter, and death:
I expect my life to end pretty soon. I’m 71 years old, but I have unshakable faith. I’ve never turned my back on God. I never thought that God wasn’t there. He’s my counselor, my wisdom — all the good things in my life come from him.
Pro Wrestling Radio interview
Sammartino gives his thoughts on WWE buying WCW:
That is a tragedy because who loses out? The wrestlers do. In my day, when you had so many different territories, if you wrestled for Vince McMahon for a year or two, and now you were an undercard guy and were not happy, there were so many other territories you could go to, and become a headliner. You had choices, so many different places you could go. Now you don’t, and McMahon, I don’t care how big his organization may be, he can only use so many wrestlers. That means there are a lot of wrestlers that are either no longer in the business or always looking for work on the independent shows. In my opinion, it has been a horribly destructive thing to the business, the fact that there is just one existing major organization.

Wants workweek or jobs cut
With a $4 million deficit, Walker plans to either layoff 400 workers or cut the workweek to 35 hours for all county employees. Labor leaders promise a court fight if Walker makes a unilateral decision:
Why should it only be county employees who take a hit? We don’t think that’s the only choice the exec has. . . . The county could ask its hundreds of private vendors to take a cut, or seek workers interested in taking voluntary furloughs.
Walker tells the unions that if they do not agree to the cut in the workweek, he will be forced to layoff people:
We feel we have a strong legal case for imposing a 35-hour workweek. The approach shares the pain across county government and minimizes the impact on the public, which will see little service reduction because workers in many cases could simply shave an hour a day off their schedules. Management has the ability to reduce workers’ hours to 35 hours a week without union approval during a budget crises.
