Interview: Of A Kind’s Claire Mazur and Erica Cerulo
We found a new thing that we love this week: a website called Of A Kind. At Crushable, we’re big fans of interesting, unique objects and that is exactly what Of A Kind specializes in. They are the first shopping site run fully through Tumblr, and they feature limited-edition exclusive one-offs from designers they love. We caught up with founders Erica Cerulo and Claire Mazur to find out how they got started on this and a little bit about their current obsessions. More »
Interview: Chaske Spencer Of Twilight – A Hipster Werewolf?
“There’s a good idea,” I think while stepping into a Williamsburg coffee shop to meet Chaske Spencer, the actor who plays Sam Uley in the Twilight films, “Hipster werewolves. Remember to pitch this TV concept.” That was before I saw Chaske, who is 6’1 and the guy next to Taylor Lautner looking menacingly hot in all the Twilight: New Moon posters: he smiled and waved me over.
“Haven’t we met before?” he starts out. We hadn’t, but if hipsterdom is defined… More »
Interview: Marni Kinrys, The World’s Greatest Wingwoman
Marni Kinrys is the World’s Best Female Pickup Artist. For those of you uninitiated in the realm of Pick Up lairs and hard core date coaching, that means that thousands of voters at the Pick Up Artist World Summit awarded her with that title this year.
She has apparently perfected the art picking up women with her patented series of tips and strategies called The Winggirl Method. I caught up with Marni to talk about why men need help like this. And learn why some men are beyond help. More »
Interview: Bryan Greenberg Has ‘Made It In America’
Bryan Greenberg is one of our favorite HBO stars. He’s also been extremely busy in the last year. His show How To Make It In America is starting to film its second season next week. And he spent the last few months filming two movies: Friends with Benefits and The Normals. In addition, he’s got a new album called “We Don’t Have Forever” coming out in January. AND, he’s the new face of Casio watches. Last night, Crushable sat down with Bryan to chat about the last year, and whether his character Ben Epstein has beef with Entourage’s Vincent Chase. More »
Crushable Interview: Mad Men’s Danny Strong
When we first saw Danny Strong at a party last year, our first thought wasn’t “That guy looks like he’s going to be on Mad Men!” We were too busy freaking out that we were actually meeting Jonathon from the trio, the nerdy villains that dominated season six of Buffy, and who fangirls like me usually have to go to Comic-Con to see. But Danny’s done more than hang out in Joss Whedon‘s clubhouse: he had a four season arc as Doyle McMaster on Gilmore Girls, and was most recently hired – and fired from – Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. We called Danny up and got him to answer our burning questions about life after Buffy, Internet super fans, and working on TV’s hottest show. More »
Zach Galifianakis Wasn’t ‘In’ On Joke Interview, Says Gordon Keith
One of the funniest and most-talked about videos this week had to be Gordon Keith from WFAA-TV interviewing Zach Galifiankis about his latest film, It’s Kind of a Funny Story. It was an intentionally awkward interview that seemed to completely bite off the style of Zach’s Funny or Die series, Between Two Ferns, except this time it was the Hangover star that was stuck trying to answer Gordon’s weird questions (“Emma Roberts looks like she smell good…explain why your character is wearing a sweater?”)
We debated back and forth whether Zach was “in” on the joke from the beginning, and this weekend Gordon answered our queries on his personal webblog: More »
‘Single Girls’ Guide to Meeting European Men’ Author Real, Giving Interviews
Last week, our sister site asked if this video of a Vanderbilt Carrie Bradshaw-esue lady extolling on the virtues of foreign men could possibly be real, or be a viral video. We did our research, and unless Katherine Chloe Cahoon is someone’s brilliant performance art character, we’re going with real. Oh, and she has more videos! More »
Interview: Jessica Hlavac’s I’m So Tiny
Here at Crushable, we are completely unashamed of our fascination with tiny things. Basically, if you miniaturize any object, we will want to buy, hold or hug it. So when we learned that our friend Jessica Hlavac had created a calendar of the tiny things she makes at I’m So Tiny, we were pretty excited. And we decided to track her down to ask all sorts of questions about the creation and presention of her tiny little objects. Enjoy.

‘Interview’ Throws Party For James Franco’s ‘Book’
Last night at the James hotel, Interview Magazine and James Franco — two of the most overexposed entities in “culture” — joined together to promote Palo Alto, the collection of short stories by James that he wrote while earning one of his 1,000 degrees. You remember, it’s the book with the story they published in Esquire, that had the line “the shadows make it shadow-color“? Yikers. Even having the party at a place called the James now seems like some sort of weird, inside joke that even Franco’s other personalities aren’t finding funny any more. What was the scene like? Our insider had the scoop: More »
Exclusive: ‘Vampire Diaries’ Kat Graham Gives Us Her Pop Culture Predictions
We have to admit: We were nervous about talking to Kat(erina) Graham. As much as we like our vampire mythologies around here, it’s daunting to talk to someone whose character Bonnie Bennett on the CW’s Vamprie Diaries happen to be a psychic and a witch. Add in the fact that the young actress recently covered Paula Abdul’s “Cold Hearted Snake” and is slated to appear in two major films this year, and you’ve got a downright formidable young actress to call up. Was she going to be a diva? A ditz? Little did we know (though maybe Kat did, psychically), that by the end of the interview we’d accidently say “I love you,” instead of “Goodbye.” Too much? We don’t care: Kat Graham is a kick-ass lady. More »

Exclusive: Comedian Michael Showalter on Backstage Egos And Internet Comedy
We here at Crushable love weird, subversive comedy, so finding out that Michael Showalter (The State, Wet Hot American Summer, Michael and Michael Have Issues) was doing a web series about the mania behind the scenes of our favorite television commercials, we were like “Bring It.” And the first episode of Michael Showalter Presents: The Making Of Commercials on Babelgum definitely did not disappoint, with comedians Zak Orth and Andrea Rosen as choir directors brought on to the Intel computer commercials. We recently caught up with Michael about comedy, commercials, and what it’s really like behind the scenes of your favorite films. More »
Video: Jesse James ‘Nightline’ Preview Looks…Monosyllabic?
“You cheated on your wife?”
“Yup.”
Man, we can’t wait to sit through 30 minutes of this! Though we do think Jesse James is maybe giving himself too much credit when he says he’s being called the most hated man in the world. Take it easy there, tiger. You’re still a couple tiers down from Mugabe, Osama Bin Laden, and (probably) Kim Jong-il. Probably.

Megan Fox Makes OCD Look Sexy (Nope) - Why would you tell Allure that you have a fear of using public restrooms because every time “they flush, all the bacteria is shot into the air.” Also, she can’t eat in restaurants where other people have put their mouths on the silverware. (via StarPulse)

I know many of you guys like Hilary Duff’s clothing line, Femme for DKNY Jeans and Hilary says that she designed them based on what she felt every girl absolutely has to have in her closet.

The lovely Hilary Duff covers the January 2010 issue of Nylon magazine and spoke to them a bit about her role as Olivia Burke on The CW’s hit show, Gossip Girl.

Wow! It is so crazy to go back in time for a little while and live in the past.
