Nathan Fillon is Monsters University's resident big man on campus, but when I chatted with Fillion, the actor maintained that his real college persona was far from his animated character's. He also talked about what it's like to have your voice used for someone who's so flawed and smarmy, and how if he could voice any character, he'd pick an animated version of his short-lived series Firefly! Watch the interview to hear all that and more.
Molly Tarlov, star of MTV's Awkward., stopped by our Los Angeles studio to dish on Jenna's relationship scandal this season. Plus, she told us whether she's team Matty or team Colin when the cameras are off, plus her surprising favorite celebrity.
Charlie Day voices one of the characters in this week's release of Monsters University, the sequel to Pixar's Monsters Inc., and I sat down with the actor to chat about his voice role. The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star talked about curbing his impulse to cuss for the family film, how his voice is perfect for an animated character, and his favorite Pixar movies.
Malcolm Kelley and Tony Oller first met as costars on the Nickelodeon series Gigantic, and it wasn't long before the onscreen best friends struck up a creative collaboration behind the scenes. The pair joined forces to form MKTO, a musical duo blending pop and hip-hop. Their first single, "Thank You," cracked the Billboard Top 40 and made a splash around the world. The pair stopped by POPSUGAR Live! today to perform an acoustic version of the track as they put the finishing touches on their debut album, which is due out on Columbia Records soon.
As bartender/shapeshifter Sam Merlotte, Sam Trammell has been a part of True Blood from the start. With the season-six premiere ahead this weekend, we sat down with the actor at LA's Fig & Olive restaurant, where he filled us in on exactly where the action will pick back up. As previews for the show have suggested, it sounds like the war between humans and vampires will escalate this year, and Sam said we'll learn more about "what they can do and who they are" when it comes to the latter. Sam also talked about staying in shape while shooting a show that frequently requires its cast members to strip down and what it was like having his costar Stephen Moyer as a director. True Blood returns this Sunday night to HBO.
Billy Crystal reprises his Monsters Inc. role of Mike Wazowski in next week's Monsters University, and this time young Mike is studying hard to be a scarer. I sat down with Crystal to talk about what he thought of the college setting for the sequel, how Mike was made to appear younger, and what it's like reunting with costar John Goodman in the sound booth. Watch it now!
Jessica Szohr stopped by the Fragrance Foundation Awards in New York City, and we talked to her about what sweet scent she usually sports (hint: it's wintery). She also got a little corny about the smell that makes her the most nostalgic and spilled on the perks of her role as a "dancer" in The Internship.
We spoke with Sofia Coppola at the Women in Film Crystal + Lucy Awards in Beverly Hills yesterday as she prepped for this weekend's release of The Bling Ring. The director talked with us about taking the risk of casting unknown actors for some of the biggest roles in the movie and about the music in the film — the soundtrack was just released this week. She told us she included one track because it was a favorite of Emma Watson's. We also asked Sofia about collaborating with husband Thomas Mars of French band Phoenix, and she admitted she sometimes reviews his lyrics to make sure they "make sense" in English.
Connie Britton attended last night's Fragrance Foundation Awards in NYC, where she spoke with us about her history with using scents. She also spoke about what's to come on her hit show Nashville and a special big-screen project — check out our chat with Connie!
It's been almost a month since Judith Hill's shocking departure from The Voice, a turn of events so unexpected to her team leader, Adam Levine, that he found himself in hot water after muttering, "I hate this country." Judith tells us what it was like leaving the show and reflects on her decade-long career as a backup singer that saw her even sing duets with Michael Jackson. Judith's time as a backup singer is chronicled in the June 14 film 20 Feet From Stardom — but those days might be numbered!
