Karl Pilkington the 40 year old English television personality, social commentator and  actor having gained prominence with Ricky Gervais has been interviewed for The sun Newspaper in an article titled “I feel guilty about taking the role from a proper actor”. When asked “How did Ricky persuade you to appear in Derek?” Pilkington responds “He did what he always does – he got me on set by talking about the catering! My girlfriend was away and I don’t like cooking. So he said to me: “Do you want to be in this?” I replied: “Are pork chops on the menu?” He said: “Yes” and I was there in ten minutes.” The interview continues “Did you have any qualms about acting?” responding “Yes. I’m not an actor, but I didn’t want to let my friend down. I still feel guilty about taking the role from a proper actor. There’s an actor bloke I used to see down the butcher’s. I told Ricky: “He’d be brilliant as Dougie.” Ricky said: “No, it’s you. Just do it.” I suppose I just can’t get over how lucky I’ve been. I’ve got no training, but Ricky has handed me this wonderful opportunity.” How did Ricky describe Dougie’s character to you? “He just did a doodle of a little round bald head and a pair of glasses, and then he said to me: “That’s what we’re looking for!”  What was Ricky like as a director? “I have nothing to compare him to, really. So I can’t say something like: “He’s a little bit different from Spielberg.” He might be the worst director in the world for all I know, but it seems to work.  …We’re always very honest with each other. There’s no pretending. It is true that certain things that annoy him do annoy me too…”  Inspired by The Sun ow.ly/hLQZ7 Image source Rick Walker ow.ly/hLQKf Are pork chops on the menu?

Donald John Trump the 64 year old US real estate developer, television personality and potential GOP candidate for the US 2012 presidential race, has come under intense scrutiny over his stance on many issues conflicting with his historical record, along with his apparent support for issues and individuals from both conservative and progressive sides of the US politics. Despite his popularity having grown within the more extreme elements of the GOP with his vocal ‘Birther’ calls on President Obama, Trump has been ridiculed for this stance, and also been accused of draft dodging during the Vietnam war years, relying on educational and medical excuses to avoid subscription. Counter calls are now being made for Trump to release his tax and financial returns as he had earlier promised.
