Gawker had a chance to speak with Stephen Frears—the renowned British director of such films as My Beautiful Launderette, Dangerous Liaisons, High Fidelity, and The Queen—and get his views on this year's crop of Oscar nominees, George Clooney's politics, and why smart actresses are so sexy.
On last night's Real Time, Arianna Huffington dropped by via satellite for an interview with Bill Maher. Unsurprisingly, the Huffington Post's buyout by AOL dominated the conversation. Well, that and some playful misogyny. Oh, and a heavy Greek accent, obviously.
This afternoon, three hours after Gawker's exclusive report about Republican Representative Chris Lee's flirtatious, shirtless Craigslist antics, the Congressman issued an immediate resignation. Tonight, Gawker's Maureen O'Connor—who broke the story—talked about it exclusively on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight.
Fox News host and fearless questioner-of-the-moon Bill O'Reilly interviewed President Obama for a Super Bowl special. Sort of. Wonkette counted up the number of times O'Reilly interrupted the president, and edited together this wonderful video of journalism in action. [Wonkette]
This evening's Piers Morgan Tonight featured megachurch pastor Joel Osteen and his Stepford wife Victoria. When Morgan switched the subject to homosexuality, Osteen—declaring it a "sin" and comparing it to an "addiction"—contradicted and offended on multiple levels.
Last night, golden-voiced Ted Williams was picked up (and released) by the LAPD after an altercation with his daughter. In an interview with ET tonight, Williams claimed innocence/said it was his daughter who got violent. Shocker: she disagrees! Watch inside.
Jason Hope is a Scottsdale, Arizona entrepreneur. He recently made headlines for throwing a $500,000 Christmas party featuring Ludacris ($100,000 performance fee) and Snooki ($17,500 appearance fee). Why would he do that? We asked his publicist.
Does Google have any chance at all of competing with arch-rival Facebook? Not really, former Google bigwig Paul Buchheit says. Buchheit tells us his old company will probably find it easier to land on the moon.
Actor Jon Bernthal plays Shane on AMC's The Walking Dead. He left his partner to die in a zombie-filled hospital and banged the guy's wife. What's he got to say for himself?
Tonight, Larry King hosted the final ever episode of Larry King Live with the help of Bill Maher, Ryan Seacrest, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Regis Philbin, Diane Sawyer, Brian Williams, Katie Couric, Barbara Walters, Bill Clinton, and more! The best moments, inside.
In an interview with the stars of The Fighter, Peter Travers asks Christian Bale to sing "Santa Fe" from Newsies. He doesn't oblige, but instead sings the theme song to The Powerpuff Girls—in a viking beard, no less!
Jerry Jones was quite humble in last night's 60 Minutes interview. To be fair, his team is going to miss the playoffs and he - by his own admission - would be fired if George Steinbrenner was his boss.
Here is a short clip of Mark Hoppus interviewing reality star (that's what Bieber fans would know him from, right?) Ozzy Osbourne. Yet, the real question is: Blink-182 frontman Mark Hoppus has a talk show on Fuse?
A live interview at the 92 Street Y between actor Steve Martin and writer Deb Solomon was so unsatisfying that the Y refunded ticketholders. The problem? Apparently, Solomon and Martin talked too much about art and not enough about movies.
In this video Russell Crowe and fellow Robin Hood actors Kevin Durand, Scott Grimes, and Alan Doyle sing a rousing tune, accompanied by a lute. This needs to become a tradition.
On tonight's NBC's People of the Year special, Kim Kardashian talked about branding herself, using Twitter to crowdsource beauty advice, how her parents' involvement in the OJ Simpson trial helped prepare her for fame, and her Ray-J sex tape debacle.
