Have you ever watched or read an interview with a celeb which then changed your opinion of that celeb?

Boy George and Juliet Lewis.

They are super smart and have great wit. I didn't know that about them.

Cameron Diaz.... I thought she was cute and quirky...then saw an interview and she came across really poorly, not well spoken, very superficial etc.

After seeing Prince on Oprah and De Tv Show I knew I never wanted him to do an interview ever again. What an dweep.

Marilyn Manson was normal & intelligent

Brian Williams (NBC News Anchor) very funny.

David Duchovney should stop acting and only give interviews!

I agree with these two. I loved Marilyn on Bowling for Columbine; very well-spoken. Would love to hear him talk more on various subjects.

Love that clip... especially that bass-ackwards fucktard in the GAP uniform (Blue shirt, white T, and khakis). GOD what a tool!

yeah what he said was so simple, but like a revelation. He would have listened to them.

Interview extra with the producer of "Frida", Salma Hayek. She's a razor-sharp, witty and incisive woman who's been quietly building her own mini-empire while being fed token, stereotypical crumb roles from the Hollywood.

Interesting. I'm glad someone mentioned Salma Hayek. She recently said, "Look, it took me nine months to gain this [baby] weight, I'm gonna take nine months to lose it." I like that.

Mike Myers is one whom I used to just love and admire, but in a recent interview he came across as self-involved, phony, and completely unfunny.

And Marilyn Manson was a nice surprise in "Bowling for Columbine."

He was actually the only voice of reason in that movie.

* Watching Beyonce interview is darned-near painful. It's like watching the Miracle Worker.

* Kate Beckinsale never really moved me one way or the other. I saw her interview on Jay Leno once, though, and she was really bright and witty. I gained a new respect for her.

* I recall watching Aaliyah interview once. I'd had a sort of child-star appreciation for her, but she came across so mature, so articulate, so confident yet humble. That was eye-opening.

* Ralph Fiennes throws me. I naturally like him, but it's often implied (never said) he's a major snob in print interviews. In broadcast interviews, though, he comes across really personable and undefended, almost shy and on the verge of blushing. It's endearing.

Beyonce-went from being annoyed by her to just couldn't stand to hear her voice and thinking she's an airhead.

M Manson-gained new respect after watching Bowling for Columbine.

Jenna Jameson--read her book and think she's one of the stupidest people on the planet.

Tom Cruise-went from liking his movies to avoiding them altogether.

Angelina Jolie-new found respect. Same for Brad Pitt.

Just thought of this one....

Harrison Ford

He's Mr. Leading Man....Mr. Action Hero

In interviews he's such a dweeb. I LOVE that!

Brad Pitt was on Oprah, he seemed like an idiot. But then, I was the one watching Brad Pitt on Oprah

I saw Mayte being interviewed on German television and it was so embarrassing to watch . Paris Hilton sounds like an academic compared to her.

Serious said:

How old was she at the time though?

SCNDLS said:

She just had married Prince. I am sure somebody can tell how old she was at that time.

This is kinda not the same, but someone who was great during the interview but a complete and total horror before and after it was Rachael Ray.

Serious said:

I might give her the benefit of the doubt since she was kinda sheltered and REALLY young at the time. I've watched her show on SITV and she's a much better speaker now than she was when she was with Prince. Paris ain't got no excuse.

SCNDLS said:

Prince probably ain't the kind of man who wants his women to be good speakers . So she might have felt a lot more free to say what she wants when they were no longer together.

Serious said:

Exactly. On her show, you could really see her personality and fun loving side and even though she was usually being silly she was pretty articulate. I thought she was really adorable on it.

GaryTheNoTrashCougar said:

What an assclown.

HamsterHuey said:

You watched Bowling for Columbine?

I used to really really love it whenever Rob Zombie was on Stern.He's so level headed and dare I say it...normal... that it would just blow my mind everytime he was on.

Efan said:

Interesting. Were you at her show for a taping? Did she just flip a switch once the cameras were rolling??

Oh, listening to commentary during movies or TV shows on DVD can be quite illuminating. The majority of the cast of the American "The Office" seems quite humble and happy. I like that.

Tom Cruise! I never liked him much to begin with, and seeing him in interviews just reinforced my dislike for him.

"Have YOU read the research, Matt????"


I must say this endeared him to me cuz you never know what that fools gonna do in an interview. I love the element of surprise.
