Michelle Williams ‘Vogue’ Interview October 2009 Issue
Posted on 16. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
Single mom Michelle Williams is struggling to find true love and a balance with the paparazzi following the death of her ex-boyfriend Heath Ledger.
The Brokeback Mountain star had split from the Australian actor months before he died from an accidental drug overdose in January 2008, but has a tough time trying to find a love to replace Ledger’s.
Michelle briefly dated director Spike Jonze earlier this year, a relationship she confirmed has now ended.
“The timing was impossible. I thought falling in love again was the only thing that was going to save me from the pain. This [was an] erroneous idea: It just makes things more complicated,” Michelle says in a new interview for Vogue’s October 2009 issue.
The 29-year-old former Dawson’s Creek star admits she doesn’t know how to date with a child, but she’s OK with that.
“I’m falling more and more in love with her,” she says of her 3-year-old daughter Matilda. “Every time I really miss him and wonder where he’s gone, I just look at her (Matilda).”
“And I think she deserves the bulk of my attention. We’re lucky. I can work. She can go to a good school. There’s a lot there for her. And she can know her dad in so many ways, and so many of his friends who will be able to tell her so many stories. His friends, his family — they were a big part of his life, and they will be a big part of her life.”
Michelle revealed that Heath’s death in January last year brought a heavier paparazzi presence into their quiet existence in trendy Brooklyn.
Michelle has an interesting way of explaining the constantly roving cameras to her young Matilda.
“It’s because people really loved your daddy that they want to take your picture, to know you’re all right….”

Neil Patrick Harris ‘New York Magazine’ Interview
Posted on 16. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
In a revealing interview with the new issue of New York Magazine, Neil Patrick Harris — who grew up before our eyes as television’s 15-year-old doc Doogie Hower M.D. — speaks on his position as one of the most successful openly-gay actors in Hollywood today.
Neil finds it “weird” being called The Great Gay Hope, says: “I appreciate that. But it feels weird to own that.”
One thing the How I Met Your Mother star isn’t shy talking about is his relationship with longtime boyfriend, Broadway actor David Burtka. “We yin and yang very well,” he says. “We’re both Geminis, but I guess, you can probably tell, I process what the options are, and figure out what to say, and he tends to just say what he is feeling. I’m just bowled over by him. He’s made my life exponentially more livable. He’s just — great. I’m his forever protector, and I’m happiest when he’s happy.”
Neil Patrick Harris hosts the Emmy’s this Sunday September 20, 2009. The new season of How I Met Your Mother kicks off Monday September 21 at 8:00 ET/PT

Kanye West Public Apology “The Jay Leno Show”
Posted on 15. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
Kanye West publicly apologized for his behavior at Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards during an interview with Jay Leno on Monday night’s premiere episode of The Jay Leno Show on NBC.
While he was originally set to serve as just a musical guest – performing with Jay-Z and Rihanna — Kanye spoke to Jay for several minutes before taking the stage to talk about storming the VMA stage and upstaging Best Female Music Video winner Taylor Swift during the 19-year-old’s acceptance speech.
“It’s been extremely difficult, just dealing with the fact that I hurt [someone] or took anything away… from a talented artist, or from anyone because I only wanted to help people,” Kanye told Jay. “My entire life I’ve only wanted to give and do something that I felt was right and I immediately knew in this situation that it was wrong and it wasn’t a spectacle, it’s actually someone’s emotions… that I stepped on… It was rude, period. I’d like to be able to apologize to her in person.”
When asked by Jay when he realized he was wrong, Kanye replied: “Like as soon as I gave the mic back to her and she didn’t keep going.”
Jay then went on to bring up Kanye’s late mother, Dr. Donda West, during the interview, mentioning that he met her and asking the rapper what his mother would have said about her son’s behavior. Kanye struggled to find the words to answer the question and appeared to choke up. He also vowed to “take some time off” after his most public meltdown, saying: “After this, I need to just take some time off and analyze how I’m going to make it through the rest of this life, how I’m going to improve, because I am a celebrity and that’s just something I’m going to have to deal with.”

“I want that interview,” Winfrey told The Insider Wednesday. “Like everyone else in this business I have my people working on that. It’s the first time I have ever called up my producers and said, ‘Are we on this story? Because I want that interview!’”

Antonio Banderas Talks About Wife Melanie Griffith In Rehab On ‘Ellen’
Posted on 10. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
On The Ellen DeGeneres Show Wednesday, actor Antonio Banderas reveals why his wife of 15 years Melanie Griffith recently decided to re-enter rehab after six years of sober living. It had nothing to do with giving her an ultimatum or threatening to divorce her, despite tabloid reports to the contrary, he says.
“It’s not a rumor, but let me explain to you,” Antonio, 49, tells Ellen.
“It was said actually in some magazine that I said that I gave an ultimatum to my wife. That I present the matter of divorce because she has been involved in addictions and blah, blah, blah,” says the actor. “Melanie has been addicted for many years and we always came out. We said it out loud. It was okay, we were never embarrassed of the situation but what happened she was clean and sober for six years.”
Melanie, 52, had a skiing accident in Aspen, Co., a year and a half ago, for which she began taking pain meds — which forced her to face her addiction again.
“In March, she came to me and said, ‘I’m feeling a little bit weak in my determination for this … so I just thought to go to rehabilitation by myself,’” Antonio says. “So the whole entire family is supporting her, and I am supporting her, and at this particular time more than ever. I’m very proud of her.”

Oprah Winfrey Calls Interview With Whitney Houston The Best Interview I’ve Ever Done”
Posted on 08. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
Oprah Winfrey is calling her upcoming interview with R&B diva Whitney Houston “The best interview I’ve ever done.”
In a two-day TV event beginning Monday, Sept. 14, The Queen of Talk sits down with Whitney for a “jaw-dropping, open, honest and candid” conversation about her 14-year marriage to Bobby Brown, drugs, rehab and her journey back from near disaster.
“I think it’s the best interview I’ve ever done. But I guess you’re supposed to let other people say that about yourself. I can’t think of a moment, ever, when I had a stronger connection to the person I was interviewing,” Oprah said in a statement Tuesday. “My approach to this interview was to not be judgmental in any way, and not to go in trying to get her to say things to make a ‘moment.’ I just wanted to be able to have an honest conversation with her. One woman to another woman. And the day of the interview I literally prayed about that all day long. I just wanted a connection between the two of us. And that is what happened.”
O continues, “I think whether you liked or loved Whitney Houston before you will certainly have a deeper appreciation for what she has been through as a human being. And I mean, the fans are just going to love her even more.”
Whitney’s new comeback album, I Look To You, is expected to debut at #1 on the Billboard charts later this week.
