POTP Exclusive (Page 3)

Omarion made my job VERY easy. I've talked to people at different events from many major publications and some TV shows while on the red carpet and they're all so kind. They all tell me that I'm good and I'll get better at it. It's a very difficult job. That's why Oprah and broadcast journalists make big money.

I talk to strangers everyday and I'm a pro at the ice breaker talk, but when it comes to celebrities: There are SO many things you can't ask, so many things you have to word in the safest way, you have a limited time to talk to them, and so many topics are off limits while certain topics may be the ONLY thing that they want to discuss.

You're walking on eggshells and I suck at improving and you're thinking of your next question without even listening to their answer, then I'll repeat some of their answers just to buy time so I can think of something else. But I like challenges and I'm determined to conquer this sh*t, questions in hand, in the future. Watch out!

I'm posting video interviews for you all because although my laugh can be hyena meets moose at times, I think video interviews are much more fun!

Omarion is a cutie. And when I say 'cutie,' I mean he's like all of 5'0. I'm 5'4 and I was so much taller than him. He makes up for it in the personality department though.

I've always liked Jenni "J-Woww" Farley and after meeting her this week, I know why. She's real. She's a nice chick who knows how to throw a hell of a left hook! This just may be my favorite interview outta the bunch from the MTV premiere event. Hope ya like. I'll be posting more interviews and my personal photos next week, I didn't want to cram 'em all into one day of posts.

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi worked her signature poof and the red carpet at the MTV premiere party of The Hard Times of RJ Berger. Snooki talks about Jersey Shore season 2 and more. I really like this chick. Not only is she adorable, but she's hilarious. I've always been on team Snooki and I'm hoping no one will punch her in the face this season or provoke her to throw her drink.

Angelina of Jersey Shore left the show (with her trash bag luggage) during season 1. She was a total b*tch who didn't want to work and she also had some of the best cock blocking skills in reality TV history! actually asked Angelina if she's going to leave during Jersey Shore 2, I'm such a bitch!! Haha. I loved how she would cock block Mike Sorrentino and I can't believe I forgot to ask her about that. Grrr.

Doesn't she look different up close? She looked much hotter on Jersey Shore.

Dr. Drew hated Firecracker, but the feeling isn't mutual. I've been a Dr. Drew fan for as long as I can remember. A friend of mine introduced me to to his radio show "Love Line" when I was in junior high and I actually won $1,000 on his website once, true story, in a contest. But Dr. Drew is a hack. He is a fame whore who reportedly contacts NONE of the celebrities he tries to "help" on any of his Celebrity Rehab shows once filming wraps up. However, he is extremely intelligent and is probably a brilliant, effective doctor when the cameras aren't rolling.

Dr. Drew is a thinner version of Dr. Phil - both men are more concerned with ratings than improving the lives of the people they exploit. I went all tabloid journalist on Dr. Drew cause I wanted to hear what he had to say about Tila Tequila. I now have him on record saying that he'll help her, which we all know is NOT true because it's not like he actually wants to. I look forward to reposting this video whenever Tila has future suicide attempts and fake miscarriages after she appears on Celebrity Rehab 4.

I stopped filming much too early and you can not detect how quickly Dr. Drew took off! He walked away from me really fast and proceeded to spend at least 5 minutes with every other reporter. I'm completely unapologetic about this interview and I love it. It's a good thing he walked off cause he really wouldn't have enjoyed the other questions I planned on asking.

It is Michael Moore’s ability to tackle a topic such as Capitalism, and present his stance with humor, that has earned the Oscar winner fans around the world. He is one of the most controversial filmmakers of our time, and he likes it that way. You either love him or hate him, but no matter what side you’re on, he sparks curiosity, incites change, and never fails to entertain.

His critics attack the messenger and reject his message, which ironically works in his favor. Consequently, when it comes to Moore’s success, perhaps there really is no such thing as bad publicity. A man for the people by the people, if you forget that Moore didn’t come from privilege, his baseball hat and pair of jeans can’t help but to remind you.

In an age of “famous for being famous” celebrities, being able to interview Moore last week was a career highlight for me and remains my most fulfilling interview to date. Michael Moore is no nonsense, just like we want our favorite documentarian to be, and he discusses his newest movie “Capitalism: A Love Story” with Joy (aka Firecracker).

Editor's note: Michael and I could see each other on video, but the sound quality on my end wasn't the best, that's why I didn't answer Michael's question about high school, which hurts my soul. I also added annotations of what I said because Michael's voice is much clearer than mine.

Capitalism: A Love Story was released on DVD on March 9, 2010. My movie review is posted HERE.

I'd like to give a special thank you to Michael Moore, Joanna, Paul, Jennifer and Lara for making this all possible!!

Two decades after Michael Moore’s first documentary “Roger & Me,” the “Bowling for Columbine” and “Fahrenheit 911” filmmaker took his camera crew to Wall Street in an attempt to edify those on Main Street.

In Capitalism: A Love Story, Moore questions why 1% of the country owns 95% of its wealth. An epidemic of foreclosures, skyrocketing unemployment rates, outrageously underpaid commercial pilots on food stamps - yes food stamps – and popular companies taking out “Dead Peasants Insurance” policies without its employee’s knowledge illustrate the widespread devastation resulting from legalized corporate greed.

The issues Moore chronicles in “A Love Story” are devastating, yet no real solutions are presented other than citizens taking it to the polls and voting. Still, Moore’s camera is a weapon and his storytelling remains captivating. “Capitalism” adds faces and families to the statistics, but it’s a man who is no longer able to give an interview that provides the most poignant footage.

In never before seen footage, a frail looking President Franklin D. Roosevelt addresses the nation, saying, “People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made…” Roosevelt proposed a “second bill of rights” for all. Unfortunately, Roosevelt passed away one year later. Although his dream has yet to be materialized, Roosevelt’s message is just as relevant today as it was in 1944.

Capitalism: A Love Story informs, entertains and inspires. It’s a gem filled with gems, but you’ll have to check it out for yourself to find out if you’ll fall in love with “A Love Story.”

I can describe the New Moon premiere in one word: PANDEMONIUM! In fact, I am 100% certain that my ears will never be the same. Thousands of high-pitched, screeching, shrieking females busting out their vocal chords in unison for hours has changed my life forever.

Now, I wasn't supposed to be at the New Moon premiere but those who know me in person know that I have a long history of getting in backstage at concerts and the like. It's all about faking confidence. There were THREE check-in points that I had no desire to attempt approaching. So I walked past all three and just looked a security guard in the eye and walked on over to the red carpet, per usual, and they bought it.

The premiere was held at the beautiful community of Westwood near UCLA. Streets were blocked off. Fans and cops aligned the street for blocks. I hadn't seen anything like it before.

Most of the celebrities and even Twilight cast members arrived in limousines or SUVs with tinted windows. But when Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart showed up - solo and in that order - they arrived in black cars with glass windows, therefore fans were able to spot them for blocks in advance and the screaming commenced and continued on end. In fact, it didn't matter if anyone famous exited a car or not, fans began screaming whenever a vehicle drove down the friggin' street.

Kellan Lutz, Dakota Fanning, Taylor, Robert and Kristen all personally greeted fans, but their personal interactions involved very few fans and interactions were brief. Fans had been camped out for up to five days, but how many people can say they were within a few feet of Patsy?

The New Moon premiere was like the second coming of Christ and I'm glad that I got to witness the hilarious hysteria, like the mother whose daughter wanted to leave but she wanted to stay. Ha! And the overall, tangible energy of the crowd was fun. I had no access to any of the stars because they're honestly like Christ himself - way too many handlers and snobs everywhere and psycho publicists.

I think it's great to get excited over something like Twilight if it brings you pleasure. I spoke with the lady in the top picture of this post and I wouldn't fly from Hawaii to L.A. only hoping to score some tickets to New Moon, but if she had fun doing it and has the money to do so (I hope she does) than great for her.

I did see all of the celebrities that were there: Jennifer Love Hewitt (with her great badonkadonk and looking very hot), Jamie Kennedy, 50 Cent, Jennie Garth, the New Moon cast, the Glee cast, etc. But I only have a few pictures below because the paparazzi were literally shoving me out the way and my camera sucks, therefore taking pictures became useless. I think a great time was had by all.

And to everyone checking out the movie tonight at midnight, I hope you love it. I'm going on Friday night.

I was on Twitter the other day when Sherri posted this Tweet:

I then responded to her tweet with the following: Yep. And now you have $ to wear a new wig every single day of your life! You're addicted. I've never seen anything like it.

Sherri then sent me a personal direct message (to which I couldn't reply cause famous folks don't allow anyone to contact them directly) saying, No I'm not addicted... my hairstylist is

Uh, yeah right! This woman wears a different styled wig EVERY SINGLE DAY on The View. She has a very weird obsession.

If Sherri didn't want so much fake hair all over her head, she would tell her hairdresser no and she wouldn't pay someone who's going to make her unhappy by giving her a new wig every day. She's completely addicted, but her hair is part of the reason why I tune into the View. Me and my mom are always like, 'Look at Sherri's wig today!... I like it... It looks cheap... She's addicted!'

Obsessed producer Will Packer is a man who gets what he wants. He wanted to produce a film with Beyonce, Ali Larter and Idris Elba, he got that. He wanted to be a successful producer, The Daily Variety has named him one of their "10 Producers to Watch," and he's quickly gone from being the guy that "couldn't get a call back" to the one that calls all the shots.

The magna cum laude Florida A&M University alum, with a Science degree in Electrical Engineering, has blazed his own path. Ditching engineering for the bigger picture, Will Packer co-founded Rainforest Films, a production company that pulls in top talent for mainstream flicks.

Packer took time out of his busy schedule to talk Beyonce, Sasha Fierce, Obsessed, making it in Hollywood, and what he's doing with Chris Brown, T.I., Paul Walker and Matt Dillon.

Obsessed opens today in theaters everywhere.

POTP: How would you describe Obsessed if you were to give it a personal synopsis.

WP: Obsessed is a really cool thriller. It follows this couple whose got this idyllic life. All is well in their world until the femme fatale shows up and wants everything that they have and will not stop until she gets it.

Are you ever able to get the cast members that you seek?

Oh ya! Ali, Beyonce and Idris were all our first choices for those roles, and we got all three. That doesn’t happen a lot, but when it does, you know that the film will be close to the vision that you have for it.

So, I have to ask some Beyonce questions. Did Sasha Fierce ever show up on the set?

The thing about this role was that there was a lot of physicality involved in it. There’s the cat fight to end all cat fights in this film! And Beyonce, because she is such a physical presence on stage, at her concerts, in her music videos, she brings that. That was no problem for her with the physicality of this role; she was ready for that and she brought it!

You don’t wanna get between Sasha Fierce and her man because when it came time for Beyonce to really come and bring that element out, it was really easy and comfortable for her because that’s just something she’s used to doing.

The physical aspect, the stunts, a lot of that stuff she did it on her own, she demanded to do it on her own. On take like 10 or 11, when everyone was tired and done for the day and all the actors, stunt doubles, even the crew, Beyonce was the one saying “No, no one more time! I can do it again. I can do it better. One more time!” She was hardcore like that.

Who was in Beyonce’s entourage?

It was her, the stylist and her mom. Every now and then Kelly Rowland would show up or Michelle Williams would show up. For the most part, it was [Beyonce] in her element and I think that’s how she likes it.

How were you able to raise the money for your first project?

It is called beggin, borrowin’ and stealin’. [My business partner and I] literally went out and got money from, like, 50 different sources. I’m only talking about raising like $20,000. There were some people who were like, ‘Here’s a check for $500, good luck.’ Then we’d have people that would let us borrow equipment. We didn’t even have the credit cards that we could max out at that time.

Did Beyonce express her excitement about taking on the challenging role of Sharon?
