Jason Derulo

He's the soulful singer who's got the #1 song in the country, "Watcha Say." Jason Derulo takes questions exclusively for users of Uinterview.com.

Q: You’ve been singing since you were a child. How did you get started? -Uinterview: A: I was always watching Michael Jackson on television when I was a child. I was so intrigued by him. For hours and hour on end. I was always different. I didn’t have a lot of friends, I was always into my music. My mom sent me to a performing arts school where I was studying music – Jazz, tap. I always wanted to express myself. When I was 16, I got my first job with a major artist and I started writing songs for a lot of people in the music industry since then I’ve written for Cassie, Diddy and Sean Kingston among many others.

Q: What was it like working with such big stars at such a young age? -Uinterview: A: At first, it was kind of strange. I’m not a star-struck person. I really love working with talented people. I really love my work but I’m never satisfied. But I didn’t want to be the words behind the voice, I wanted to be the one singing. I just found out I’m #1 on the Billboard charts. So I’m really happy.

Q: Congratulations! -Uinterview: A: Thank you.

Q: What was it like working with Diddy? -Uinterview: A: It was amazing. I remember someone asked him once how he became so successful, and he said, “No sleep!” I’m the same way – play everything over and over in my head. I always feel like I’m missing something.

The star of HBO's new hit sreies Hung, Thomas Jane plays a basketball coach who makes the most of his extra-large endowment. Here, Jane has a playful chat with Uinterview, in which he demonstrates his super-sized sense of humor and talks about his new movie, The Dark Country, out on DVD October 6.

Q: What did you think when your agent first told you about Hung? -Uinterview: A: My wife [Medium’s Patricia Arquette] reads everything I do. And I showed her this thing I’d been doing, The Mist, which is about creatures from another dimension. And then I showed her this script called Hung, about a guy with a giant dick. And she said, “Great, more science fiction!”

Q: Why do think the show has resonated with people so much? -Uinterview: A: Yeah, they are a little insecure about their penises. We are born to be insecure about [our] penises. I was actually quite happy with mine until I did Hung. Now I don’t know what to think of it, maybe I’m not big enough. I was basically really happy with mine, now I’ve got all these issues and I have to go see a shrink. [laughs] It’s a unique scenario playing a man with a large penis. I didn’t know my penis was going to be famous along with me! If I had known he was going to be famous, I would have treated him better in my younger years – I wouldn’t have rubbed him on the carpet so much and gotten that horrible rug burn. I would have treated him a lot better.

Q: What do you think it says about the changing position of men in our society today? -Uinterview: A: There are only a few positions that you can achieve with any comfort – they’ve been around since the dawn of time – the missionary position, there’s doggy style and there’s the cowboy. They are all great. I prefer 69 – I can feel love making at molecular level.

Q: What are some of the challenges working on set with all of the sex scenes? -Uinterview: A: I feel very comfortable naked. I just feel comfortable when I’m nude. So I shoot in the nude, which becomes a problem during the teaching scenes – you have to add in the clothes digitally later. Those computer guys like a challenge.

Real Housewives' Sheree

She's the outspoken designer on Bravo's hit reality series the Real Housewives of Atlanta, who's starting her own line, She by Sheree. Now, Sheree is taking questions exclusively for users of Uinterview.com

Q: You just had the New York debut for your new line, She by Sheree. Tell us how it went? -Uinterview: A: I just did the presentation. It went amazing, really, really well. The reaction was really positive. I chose to debut the line in New York because it’s the fashion capital of the world. I wanted to see how it would be perceived by the market.

Q: How would you describe your design aesthetic? -Uinterview: A: My inspiration for this season was the calalilly. It’s a strong flower – it’s bold, it’s sleek, it’s feminine and it’s sexy. You can put it in a room full of flowers or an empty room and it still stands on its own. I wanted to create a collection which you could wear in the day or the evening, you could mix together or wear it alone.

Q: Now you’ve had a lot of conflict with Kim this year. What’s going on? What do you think the root of it is? -Uinterview: A: When we went into the season, I didn’t know that was where it was going. Kim is a habitual lier. She spread all of these nasty rumors about all of us as well on the Internet. For anyone who could go that low – we already knew she was low because she was sleeping with married men – to try to bring them down, that’s crazy. Obviously, she has self-esteem problems, if she felt the need to do that.
