Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the funniest guys I have seen in interviews. He honestly sounds like he has fun with it.  If only I could get an interview with him! He was interviewed recently by /Film about his new movie, Prince Of Persia: Sands of Time, and really he swears and jokes around the whole time. There is the part of the interview where he talks about the ostriches on the set. Here is Jake talking about the stunts and the ostriches. It’s priceless…

Well, I worked in L.A. for a few weeks before I left for London. We had a month of rehearsal in London, and I worked in L.A. with just Parkour guys and obviously, David Bell has been on set with us and he’s been working… I haven’t been working directly in terms of technique, but he’s designed a lot of stuff, and surprisingly, a lot of the things they taught me and asked me to do, just start to come easily when you start isometric type of workouts, a lot of hanging and a lot of training your body to move precisely and landing in the right away. A lot is about landing. Anybody can run and jump as far as they can but landing it is the hardest part, which is why you have the four guys outside looking like me. (laughter) I mean, I just learned it. If there’s one thing on this movie I’ve learned so fast is that when someone asks you to do something, you have to try it and see if you can do it, and if you don’t do it the first time, then you have to try again. If you miss it three times then somebody else has to do it, but if you don’t try to do it, then you’ll regret it for the rest of the time, because that’s what these movies afford you, an opportunity to do crazy sh*t that you wouldn’t normally be able to do. (laughs) I remember there’s a whole scene with ostriches in the movie and there are real live ostriches, not CG ostriches. There’s not a CG’ed ostrich in this movie. They’re all real ostriches, highly paid, and we were all briefed on them for weeks before like “They’re these massive destructive creatures that can tear your heart out with their claws.” (laughs) I swear to God I never thought of an ostrich this way! And I was shaking in my boots when they finally brought them out and they’re (does an ostrich impression) and I walked up to it and one of my stuntmen was in the ring with them, and finally, I was like, “When am I going to be in a f*cking cage with ostriches again in my life? I gotta get in here!” So I got in there and they were the sweetest things. I did everything with them, I eventually did that, but every day is like that. You gotta get in there and you gotta do it and that is an experience I’ll never be able to… well, hopefully ostriches will come back again… either in reshoots or hopefully in a second one. That sort of sums up the movie. (laughs)

I would love to see what his ostrich impression would actually look like.

Honor Society’s first album, Fashionably Late, is being released today. The group comprises of four guys, Michael Bruno, Alexander Noyes, Jason Rosen and Andrew Lee. Their new album is being described as “a funky, cool pop music album with a rock band vibe.” They have been featured in the movie  Bandslam and also will in and have a song on the upcoming movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel. They started their tour on September 13 and it continues until December.

I had a chance to interview the band about their favorite ice cream flavor, their album and how much they appreciate their fans. (The interview was done with Michael.)

On their favorite ice cream flavor: All four of us are classic chocolate ice cream lovers!

On coming up with the name Honor Society: The name Honor Society really just fit our vibe and our brotherhood as friends and bandmates. Plus it’s our way of saying to our fans that they are in the ‘honor society’ with us. We’re one big crew!

On how they all got together as a band: Michael, Jason and Alexander all grew up in the same hometown and we met Andrew though a friend. Michael and Jason started the band and it’s been about two years since all four of us have been Honor Society.

On presenting at the Teen Choice Awards: It was an amazing experience. That was a major moment for us, since we all grew up watching the Teen Choice Awards so to present on it was an honor and it was so much fun, awesome awards show!

On finding out their song would be in Bandslam: The whole Bandslam experience was terrific, having the song in the movie and on the soundtrack was awesome. The movie studio was really cool and set up for us acoustic performances in movie theaters across the country this past summer for people who had an advanced screening of the movie!

On if they got a chance to work with the Jonas Brothers one on one: Absolutely, Nick, Kevin and Joe all came by the studio frequently and we did some co-writing for the album as well.

On the experience of working with the Jonas Brothers: It was awesome. We learned so much from having them there. They taught us a lot about making an album and they’re such good friends so we had a blast when they would come by the studio.

On being excited about their album coming out: It’s a dream come true literally. We’ve dreamed of giving our fans the best possible Honor Society record and they are gonna get it on September 15th. We’re so grateful to be able to release an album and we hope the fans love it.

On opening for the Jonas Brothers and touring simultaneously: Being on one tour is a lot of work, being on two at the same time is slightly crazy, but we love what we do so none of it feels like work. We’re so grateful to get to do both!

On the favorite part of touring: It’s seems so simple but our favorite part is playing music. That’s why we tour and it’s the reason touring is so awesome.

On the least favorite part of touring: Doing laundry is so hard to do on tour! It’s always a struggle to figure out.

I also asked a couple of questions that I received from asking on Twitter. Here they are!

On if they get annoyed if people always comment to them on Twitter, Myspace and Facebook: Not at all, we love it, we love how passionate our fans are and we’d never ask them to change.

On the craziest fan encounter they have ever had: We had a fan tattoo our autographs on her foot this summer. That was pretty crazy!

On their first performance at the Staples Center: I’m (Michael) a huge Lakers fan so it was a big moment for me to play Staples. I’ve watched Kobe win 4 Championships on TV there so to play there was incredible, plus our California fans are AWESOME! no duh.

Whiteout comes out on Friday and this week all the movie interviews are coming out. I saw this one and couldn’t stop laughing when they started talking about the cold. I live in a very cold place, it gets to be -50C with the windchill in the winter, you have never felt cold like that before in your life until you feel that.

Alex O’Loughlin said that he had to run outside naked in the cold and he couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t done in a sound stage. There is something that makes me giggle about that. And he would open his jacket to just feel how cold it really was. I’m glad his lungs didn’t freeze out there. It makes me think that when we are seeing the actors shiver during their acting that they really aren’t acting that part.

Wired caught up with Peter Facinelli, Kellan Lutz and Nikki Reed the other day at Comic-Con in San Diego. Peter mostly talked about how different New Moon is than Twilight. Especially the makeup part. I am loving the softer look of the vampires and that they aren’t so pale. I think that will make a big difference.

Peter also explains that the Twilight Saga has a timless theme…

“It’s Romeo and Juliet set in the vampire world.”

I agree with him there, but this Romeo and Juliet story ends quite differently.

See the interview after the jump…

I was hanging out on Twitter today and I noticed that Peter Facinelli tweeted that he was on the Chelsea Lately show last night. Now, Chelsea is one of my favorite interviewers ever since she interviewed Jensen Ackles back in January so I knew this one would be great.

Peter talks about how Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart AREN’T dating, how he’s now officially and Italian citizen (if I wrote that right), about his new role as Dr. Cooper and how his wife, Jennie Garth, broke her foot. He is so cute when he smiles.

See the interview after the jump…

Peter Facinelli is adorable. He has totally won me over. And even during interviews like this one, I just want to run up to him and give him a huge hug. New Moon is finished filming in Vancouver and now they are off to Italy. Other cast members like Kellan Lutz and Nikki Reed are going to Italy anyways because they want to be part of the experience. I don’t blame them.

Peter had a great idea on how he could calm the Volturi down in one second. Just have a coffee with them and talk. I’m sure that the movie wouldn’t be that exciting to many people that way though. I would enjoy it because then I could see Peter for a bit longer than a minute.

Also, I learnt in this interview that he was in the Scorpion King. I will have to watch that over for the millionth time and look for him.

The interview after the jump…

I was spoiled back as a teenager. I lived in the middle of nowhere and we had a satellite dish. I got a chance to watch all the American stations I wanted. Among them, the Disney channel. I used to watch the new MMC every day! It was on at 5:30 (the time that we ate supper at) so I would record it on the handy dandy VCR. And then I would go over to my friends house and watch the tapes all weekend.

This is the same show that Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling, Keri Russell and Britney Spears got their start. But my favorite one isn’t in this list, my favorite MMCer was Tony Lucca. And this was one of my favorite videos they did on the show that features him singing . I am very excited because I am going to interview Tony. I thought it would be cute as the teenage girl in my had posters of him all over my walls and now the adult me (and Tony) have come so far since then. (I can tell you one thing Tony’s music rocks!)

If you are a fan of Tony’s and have any questions for him pleas add them to the comments.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are covering the March 2009 cover of the Australian magazine, Girlfriend. I’m not digging this cover when it’s super obvious they are both photoshopped. They like totally just took it to Kristen’s face and you can’t even recognize her.

The interview is pretty interesting…here is what Robert said about being in Twilight with Kristen…

I wanted to do the movie because of her. It was like the first job I wanted to do in ages. Having Kristen there, I thought it could be something more that just another film, because of the way she was in the audition and because of her track record of having made really good film choices.

Translation: I love Kristen…always have…always will.

Someday the two of them will get together already.

The other day I showed you pictures from the Heroes Super Bowl commercial…it is airing on Sunday during the game and is to help launch the chapter of the show. Fugitives starts on Monday. I can’t believe we had to wait so long to find out what is going to happen!

The behind the scenes video shows interviews with Masi Oka, Greg Grunberg, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Jack Coleman, and Ali Larter. And yes, Hayden Panettiere will appearing in the commercial as well. I will post the commercial as soon as I can find it since here in Canada we don’t get the cool American commercials.

I think this interview of Jensen Ackles is my favorite by far. The way Chelsea Lately talks to him is the way everyman should be. But, really in some parts Jensen was speechless. Again, Jensen talked about his diving trip, but this time it included his girlfriend. (Who he might or might not want to marry.) He also did a great impression of hearing Nikki Hilton and Paris Hilton at his movie premiere. This is definitely the interview to hear! (He is so relaxed…and such a joker!)

You can see Jensen in theaters on January 16th in the movie, My Bloody Valentine 3D.
