Celebrity Interviews

One of my very favorite things about sharing entertainment news with you is that sometimes I get to attend the press conferences, junkets and red carpet events where the movie studios and production companies share and celebrate their new releases!

Usually these events take place in LA, but I’ve traveled all over the country the past few years to interview the film makers, animators and actors and actresses that bring these stories to the big screen.

interview with Chris Hemsworth
Favorite Celebrity Interviews

I get asked quite often what my favorite celebrity interview has been and that’s not an easy one to answer. My top five include my interview with Chris Hemsworth for 12 Strong, my interview with Steven Spielberg for The BFG, my interview with Tom Hanks for Toy Story 4, interview with Angelina Jolie for Maleficent (one of my all time favorite movies!), and how can I forget m interview with Oprah Winfrey for Wrinkle in Time!! (she also happened to give one of my favorite interview answers of all times – of course she did, she’s Oprah!)

*I should mention that Oprah was with Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling at the time, and it was a fantastic conversation, as you can imagine!

Oprah you get a car

Other stand out celebrity interviews include:
My interview with Jennifer Garner and Steve Carell for Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

moana auli'i cravalho

The REAL Moana

My interview with the REAL Moana –  Auli’i Cravalho and her mother Puanani Cravalho. This all took place before she was known as Moana and it was a wonderful peek at their life before she became famous and how it changed their lives. Many people still ask me about this interview, who Auli’i’s mom is and how she got this role.

Dwayne Johnson Interview Moana

Moana Cast Interviews

Of course, I can’t forget my interview with Dwayne Johnson about his role as Maui in Moana OR my interview with Lin-Manuel Miranda.

One thing I love about celebrity interviews is that it’s a very raw and real peek at the people behind the characters. There have been a few times when a celebrity was closed off, but for the most part – these have been very upbeat and exciting conversations with lots of laughs and some deep insight into their perspective on not only the movie they were staring in, but also some wonderful life perspective as well!

benedict cumberbatch from Doctor Strange

Dr. Strange Cast Interviews

My interviews with the cast and creators of Dr. Strange were pretty mind blowing and included Tilda Swinton, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel McAdams, and also an interview with Director Scott Derrickson.

George Clooney

George Clooney Interview

I don’t even know how to rank all of these, they were all so amazing. Did I mention that I interviewed George Clooney and the cast of Tomorrowland?

I had the opportunity to interview Harrison Ford! See what he said about his role in STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

I can’t even rank these interviews, there have been so many good ones. Including my interview with J.J. Abrams along with pretty much the entire cast of Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Harrison Ford, AKA Han Solo,  Daisy Ridley who plays Rey and John Boyega who plays Stormtrooper Finn. 

Also included in that press day was my interview with Producer & President of Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy and my interview with Oscar Isaac (Poe) & Lupita Nyong’o (Maz).

ANT-MAN with Paul Rudd & Evangeline Lilly

Ant-Man Cast Interviews

Another celebrity interview that I should probably mention is my interview with Michael Douglas and the cast of Ant-Man including stars Paul Rudd & Evangeline Lilly along with my interview with the “ANTourage” threesome of Michael Pena, T.I. and David Dastmalchian.

John Cena Interview for Playing with Fire

Interviewing John Cena for Playing with Fire. That was an exciting trip to Canada!

Note from Melissa Mccarthy

Celebrity interviews don’t always go as planned.

There was also that time that I got flowers from Melissa McCarthy because she had the flu and had to miss our interview. That turned out to be pretty cool too.

SO many wonderful Hollywood stars: Kristen Bell for Frozen, Kenny Ortega (DESCENDANTS), so many Disney Channel Stars including Dove Cameron from Liv & Maddie, the Bunk’d cast, the late (and wonderful) Cameron Boyce, Bryce Dallas for Pete’s Dragon, and Misty Copeland for The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.

Alice Premiere Party Suzanne Todd

Oh! And that time that I interviewed AND received a pair of the most magnificent Alice in Wonderland shoes from Disney’s Alice Through the Looking Glass Producer Suzanne Todd. (I adore her AND I adore my shoes!!) Read that story here.

Read all about my time at the Alice Through The Looking Glass Red Carpet Event in LA
There are so many more wonderful moments that have taken place over the past decade, and I’m so thankful for the opportunities I’ve had to share these fun interviews and moments with you.

If you would like to read more of my favorite celebrity interviews, I’ve got them all here on the blog:

...love these creatures 💕 This year is so diff ...love these creatures 💕

This year is so different (understatement?) and I’m trying to find comfort and joy in the simple moments.  Missing time with friends and loved ones (and travel, oh how I miss!) but also thankful for more time with these kids who grew in the blink of an eye. (Seriously!?!)
These smiles are giving me life right now 💕

Perhaps we’ll remember these added moments as one of the gifts that we take from 2020? 🎁

Decorate your cake and eat it too!! AD Oh my goo Decorate your cake 
and eat it too!! AD

Oh my goodness, I had so much fun with this!

I'm such a @MarthaStewart wannabe, and thanks to her new book: Martha Stewart’s Cake Perfection: 100+ Recipes for the Sweet Classic, From Simple to Stunning, I think I'm ready for one of those fancy baking reality shows!

My favorite thing about this @clarksonpotter book is that it simplifies things and makes you realize that these delicious and gorgeous recipes aren't as difficult as they seem - in fact, Martha makes them totally doable!
 
I baked a cake and decorated it too? Yea... like a BOSS! The icing on the cake (see what I did there?) was Martha Stewart’s Cake Perfection Decorating Set from @iGourmet which I used to add the finishing touches like edible gold flakes, green pistachios and edible dried rose petals. (who am I!??) The contents of the decorating set are all hand-picked by @MarthaStewart48 and her team of food editors so it's got everything you need and more.
 
Click link in bio for more information on both the book and the decorating set, I'm telling you - these are fantastic #giftideas for this holiday season! Packed with 125 recipes for all occasions, it would also be a great addition to your cookbook collection, and a fantastic gift to give yourself because YOU, my friend, deserve to have your cake, and eat it too ❤

Go Mustangs!! As our favorite varsity team (and Go Mustangs!! 

As our favorite varsity team (and player!) head into the state high school playoffs tonight we’ll be cheering them on from home because 2020 doesn’t quit with the things it’s taken away (no fans) but that’s ok, these kids don’t quit either! 

They’ve worked so hard and I’m thankful for the awesome coaches and parents that have worked hard to keep these kids safe and playing the game they love!

So while #FridayNightLights looks a little different these days, we’ll take it and look forward to getting back to those stadium seats!

Go @eagle_mustang_football 🏈

How you doin'? Hangin' in there? I'm kind of ou How you doin'? 
Hangin' in there? 

I'm kind of out of words (aren't we all?) for how different things are right now, but that doesn't change that fact that fall is still one of my favorite times of the year and there is still plenty of happiness to be found, even if you have to look for it a little bit. 

I'm finding happiness in the little moments, people and conversations that bring me joy. 

Like my chats with Friend Squirrel.
He's always all ears and puts a smile on my face. Here's hoping he puts one on yours too!

RIP my beautiful Big Mack 💕 Almost 4 years ago RIP my beautiful Big Mack 💕

Almost 4 years ago, I read a post on FB about a Mammoth Mule from Oklahoma that was sold at auction and headed to a kill lot in Mexico. He didn't have a name, just tag #841. To this day I can't really tell you how it all came together but it did, and thanks to some awesome people, my big sweet handsome gentle giant made his way to Idaho. 

I wish I knew more about his life before he came here (or maybe I don't) but I assume at one point he was loved because he had the biggest heart and a wicked sense of humor. But to get to that, you had to break through a really tough exterior, which is why I also have to assume that there were times when people had really let him down. Obviously. 

He had a true servant's heart. In fact, aside from his love of sweet feed, he rarely broke form and spent most of his time  watching for me and guarding our property. He was always aware of where I was and what I was doing. He disliked intruders: stray dogs, deer, coyotes and he especially disliked sheep. 

And he was stubborn. So stubborn in fact that once he got here, he decided that he'd never leave. He would go anywhere on our property, but we couldn't actually get him to cross the property line. Not once. 

The reality is, he was a pretty banged up old mule who was tough as nails and had the scars to prove it. But to me, he was beautiful. I used to always tell him that I'm certain he had a bit of the great Secretariat somewhere in his bloodlines. We'd both laugh even though I was only kind of kidding. 

Definitely not the best financial decision that I ever made, and 100% the craziest, but absolutely one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.

A huge thank you to my hubby who was so kind helping Mack move on from this world. I'll always be to thankful that I was able to be there telling him how much I loved him right up to the end. 

Love you my big handsome Bray-be and thank you for bringing me so much joy. May the heavens be full of sweet feed, green pastures and none of those pesky sheep 💕

Friendships are everything, aren't they? Especiall Friendships are everything, aren't they? Especially when it comes to supporting each other through life’s toughest challenges.

Over the past few months, I’ve been sharing my partnership with the maker of @BreastCancerIndex and how valuable this resource is for those facing a breast cancer diagnosis. #AD

Through this journey as a brand ambassador, I’ve learned so much about the importance of being your own best advocate when facing this or any other type of diagnosis.

I’ve also learned more about what we can all do to support others who might find themselves in a situation like this. 

It is such a helpless feeling to watch a loved one go through a hardship like cancer. This campaign couldn’t have been more timely for me because around this time last year, my sweet friend Tina was diagnosed with breast cancer. 

With her permission, I’m sharing a bit of her story with you. Warning: she’s a beautiful and brave warrior woman who will blow you away with her smile. 

Hop on over to the blog at SheSaved.com (link in profile) to read a bit of Tina's story, along with her tips for helping a friend through a cancer diagnosis.

I’ve been sharing with you my partnership with @ I’ve been sharing with you my partnership with @BreastCancerIndex and how very important it is that we as women take care of ourselves. #AD

It’s that whole "put your own oxygen mask on first" thing. 

These past few months during this pandemic have really magnified for me the importance of not only taking care of myself, but WHY I take care of myself. I take care of myself so I can have more time with the ones I love. 

Witnessing a dear friend's struggle through a breast cancer fight these past two years has really opened my eyes to the moments that matter. The time together with our people that give us our “why” and it is what feeds our soul. 

Quality moments with my people are my why.  And I can only imagine that if I was in for the fight of my life, these people and moments would be what I would fight for. 

I've spent a lot of time reflecting on all of this lately.

What is YOUR why?
We all have one, and it usually includes those we love and the quality time we get to spend with them. Because #notanotherminute should be wasted.

If you know someone facing a breast cancer diagnosis, the Breast Cancer Index test can offer answers to help women and their oncologists make important decisions and help them get back to the quality time and moments with those that they love.
