General Aladeen, graciously known as The Dictator of the great Republic of Wadiya, took the Waldorf Astoria by storm in New York City. He covered a range of hot topics from the hairiness of Kim Kardashian to the 25 Virgins he travels with.
Below is the top 6 moments from his very historic press conference….
I caught up with the brilliant Julia Louis-Dreyfus at the red carpet for her new show on HBO, VEEP. She plays the Vice President.
Also can someone clarify where Elaine from Seinfeld was from. I swear it was Baltimore! Hit me up with a message on Facebook.
Nick Nolte is at the Oscars and whenever he has popped up he has created magic. The bloke should be hosting the big night!
A few years back at the Sundance Film Festival I had a wonderful chat with Nick Nolte. He solves the world’s problems in the below inteview.
Have a listen to the legend Nolte.

Christopher Plummer has had a very good year. Oscar nominated for the Beginners and also starring in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I caught up with him for a decent chat about his time filming Sound of Music, Julie Andrews drinking ability, and Rooney Mara’s nipple piercing.
In my yearly tradition of turning to an Oscar expert I chat with Burt Burgbum about who he thinks will take home Oscars this Sunday evening. Burt is one of the pre-eminent movie critics on the East Coast of America and has great insight into the film industry. He also feels that there is a major injustice at this years Oscars with the total disregard of one of the actors in a Best Picture nominated movie. During this interview I was also lucky enough to meet Burt’s wife who you will hear. She was beautiful.
In our chat we also cover the Best Actress category, the movie The Help, Best Actor category and which film should win Best Picture.

Let me know who you think will win and if you agree with Burt’s selections…..
Oscar week kicks off with a bit of Viola Davis action. Over the last month Viola has firmed in the betting and is now favorite to take out the Best Actress Oscar for her role in THE HELP. In this interview we talk about the poop cake and discuss her dress sense. Her and her guy looked fantastic. Let’s see how she goes on the big night.
Robert Patrick was apparently dead broke when James Cameron gave him the role as the villain in Terminator 2. That scene in the psycho ward still scares the crap out of me. He at times made Arnie look scared! In the movie Safehouse Robert plays a lead of a CIA extraction team. It’s a small role but effective on the big screen as he and Denzel go head to head in an interrogation that involves the method of water boarding.
We also chat about T2.
Watch….
Denzel Washington rarely makes a bad movie. And that is what I was thinking when I was watching Safehouse. In the age of counter terrorism shows like 24 and the brilliant Homeland, we are now home-experts in how the CIA operates. So in this move Safehouse there are moments we are one step ahead of what is going to happen. This small observation doesn’t curb the excitement when Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds are pitted against each other. Denzel also has a pretty awesome afro in this movie about a rogue CIA agent.
Here is my chat with Denzel at the New York City Red Carpet Premiere….
Four years ago I rolled along to Arizona to watch the New York Giants defeat the New England Patriots in Superbowl 42. It was an amazing few days leading up. The following video takes you into all the mayhem that surrounds a Superbowl. Playboy parties, tailgating fans and D-grade celebrities, the Superbowl has it all. WATCH what went down….
In 2006 Comedy Central launched the successful event Night of Too Many Stars. On this night was Ricky’s first ever stand up performance on American soil. I chatted with him before the event on the red carpet as he walked it with his long term girlfriend Jane.
