When The Kooks are in the studio they’re focused and most importantly, sober. Watch Hugh and Luke explain their reasoning below.
The Kooks released a new album called “Junk of the Heart,” and you would think Hugh and Luke would be very excited about it. Well, they seemed rather indifferent to be honest. We spoke about that and why they don’t care about critics.

Next time you’re struggling to make conversation, try asking this question: “If you could invite anyone (living or dead) to the perfect house party, who would it be?”
Graffiti6 is starting to make their North American invasion, and they are hitting up the Tonight Show. Does this sound familiar? Well the Beatles made the exact same journey over 40 years ago. Naturally, @jordans_life had to make some comparisons.
Nick plays World of Warcraft. Not only that, he’s the head of his guild, demonstrating that it IS possible to juggle being a hardcore gamer with being a top-selling recording artist.
During a LIVE interview on andPOP.com Nick Carter gave out a number and took phone calls from his fans. These were real phone calls from real fans who we gave exclusive access to one of the biggest recording artists of our generation.
There were great questions about music, fitness, the backstreet boys but the most popular question, however, was about his underwear. In this clip Nick talks about his his ‘Haynes’ and covering his fans with glow in the dark paint.
When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.
Diamandis from Marina and The Diamonds talks to us about her very serious disease. It’s called synaesthetic. And we lied, it’s not a disease. More like a cool condition. Diamandis explains further.
Would you be embarrassed if someone scrolled through your iPod? We sit down with Spee and Brendan to talk about the diverse music on their playlist.
Good bye, Film Fest. I am glad you are done for the sake of my sanity, but I know tomorrow I will wake up and miss you.
It was my first year covering the film fest from dawn till, well, dawn, and I wouldn’t have done the week much differently if I were to do it all again.
Before I take a look back at some of the finest moments, I will recap my final day at the fest. (Note: The fest is still going on until Saturday, but by now, the big stars are gone, the parties are over, and the film fest is unofficially over.)
Had a 9 a.m. interview with Joshua Jackson. Being somewhere for 9 a.m. during the film fest should be illegal. The fans weren’t even outside the Intercontinental yet (they were when I left the hotel 20 minutes later). Somehow, Jackson was wide awake (“I had two cups of coffee already,” he said), as were his other “Bobby” cast members who were in the large hotel room (Christian Slater and Joy Bryant). William H. Macy was also in the room doing an interview, as was the film’s director, writer and star, Emilio Estevez. Every time I think of Emilio, I can’t help but picture Will Ferrell in “A Night at the Roxbury,” yelling “Emiliooooo!” I could watch that movie on mute, and have (true story, don’t ask).
“Bobby,” a film focusing on the last day of Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s life (yet fictional), has an amazing cast. Nick Cannon, Sharon Stone, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore also star and arrived later in the day to walk the red carpet. Kutcher and Moore had already left Toronto earlier in the week, but returned just for “Bobby.” Anthony Hopkins, Helen Hunt, and Lindsay Lohan also star, amongst about a dozen more.
I talked with Jackson about how this is his fourth film with Emiliooooo (Mighty Ducks 1, 2 and 3), moving on from “Dawson’s Creek” and much more, all packed into a 10-minute interview.
From there, went home to do a phone interview with Nick Lachey, un-film fest related.
Then back to the Intercontinental for andPOP’s final interview of the film fest. Ironically, perhaps, I didn’t even do the final interview, which was with the “talent” from “This Filthy World,” director John Waters, who is actually the star of the film, and actor Jeff Garlin, who is actually director. Waters is the man behind “Hairspray,” and director of other films like “Cry-Baby” and most recently “A Dirty Shame.” Garlin plays Larry David’s manager on “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
W. Andrew Powell, who runs The Gate web site, located at thegate.ca, filled in for me because I had not seen the film (I hung around to take photos during the interview). In order to do this interview, as is the case with 90 per cent of them, seeing the film was a requirement. Powell caught a Wednesday screening and spent 15 minutes talking about the film.
At one point, Waters was talking about how years ago, nobody was coming to one of his films that was screening in Canada.
“I’m trying to do a big art project on those three terrible, worst nights of my life in Canada,” Waters told Powell.
Garlin chimed in, “I’d actually like to buy that project. That’s a fantastic one.”
Now to recap.
Top 10 andPOP Film Fest moments:
10. Interviewing the randoms on various red carpets: Lance Bass, Christian Bale, Ron Perlman, etc.
9. Attending the after party for “The Dog Problem” at Ryerson’s campus pub and talking with Mena Suvari, one of my new favourite people.
8. My interviews with the director of “Bella,” Alejandro Gomez Monteverde, and the stars Ali Landry and Eduardo Verastegui. They were so genuine about wanting to make a difference with their movie, not just making money.
7. Playing poker with members of the film industry, eating free pizza and picking out a pair of awesome new Pumas at the PokerRoom.com VIP lounge at the Panorama.
6. Hanging out at the IT Lounge. Good atmosphere, got to check my email, charge my phone, speak with cool people. I’ll also note that all three times that I went to the lounge, I got off one floor early. If I were to have visited a fourth time, I think I could have nailed it.
5. Speaking with the star of “Entourage,” Adrian Grenier, after seeing him walk through a hotel’s lobby with his own, real entourage. They were not as intimidating as Drama.
4. Interviewing Jeff Goldblum and talking about Celebrity Jeopardy.
3. Riding with Giovanni Ribisi and Scott Caan to their film screening for “The Dog Problem” at the Ryerson theatre.
2. Getting Jennifer Lopez to stop for one minute (two questions) on the red carpet of her after party thrown by Time. I didn’t even mind that Marc Anthony was with her and speaking for much of the time. I don’t even remember looking his way.
1. And number one, no question about it, the Wyclef Jean concert at Premiere lounge. Perhaps the best night of my life. I had never seen the man in concert and somehow got in and am forever grateful to Premiere Magazine for paying him to take the stage. I may even purchase a subscription to Premiere to thank them. William Hamilton of Peach Stone Media, Christine Kaculis of LIVEstyle Entertainment and the guy from Sony BMG Films who was working the door (email me if you are him) are all awesome. That was my one “fan” moment at the fest.
And that is that, folks. Thanks for reading my blog. I had a great time writing it. Keep checking back to andpop.com starting early next week to start reading the interviews with the likes of Grenier, J.Lo, Wyclef, “American Pie” alum and many more, plus to view the photo gallery.
