Diane Robina, head of programming for TV Guide Network, stopped by the Gawker.TV offices yesterday for a lively chat with our editor-in-chief, Richard Blakeley. Discussed? Non-linear TV watching, programming for Millennials, and Sunday's "25 Biggest TV Blunders" special. Video inside.

You know that guy who shows up to a party and dominates the conversation, talking about wild theories on how to truly live, while everyone laughs awkwardly? That's Tracy Morgan—And last night, Tavis Smiley's show was the party.

Apologize profusely on Twitter for racially charged comments about your penis and no one will believe you're genuine. Apologize during a concert with a nice bluesy lick playing behind you, and it just seems honest, raw—and bluesy!

Finally, Andrew Breitbart is speaking out on the liberal media's railroading of phone tap pimp James O'Keefe. Bonus: Lloyd Grove also gets Breitbart to reveal when he's being cantankerous, and when he's merely being jocular. Invaluable perspective! [Daily Beast]

Simon Monjack, the mysterious husband of dead actress Brittany Murphy, is planning to sue Warner Bros., claiming that when the studio fired Murphy from a movie, it caused her heart attack two weeks later. The Daily Beast landed an unpleasant interview.

Here is a very interesting interview with an Iranian dissident.

Times Magazine interview condenser Deborah Solomon is her usual condescending self in her interview with actual criminal, torture memo author, and terrible lawyer John Yoo. But this guy deserves way, way worse than Solomon's bored contempt.

Besides his Patrick Bateman hair, obviously. The San Francisco mayor and obvious prick went into hiding after mysteriously quitting the governor's race, and his silence-breaking TV interview was a mess.

"I might have messed around, let the cable man come to my house, fix my cable, but two weeks later he's somewhere on my property in my guest house, screwing my wife...It's more mature; that's what I'll say." [Pitchfork]

Sickeningly stereotypical "creative" ad guy Alex Bogusky interviews himself on his own blog, a very Bogusky-type thing to do. To one rhetorical question, he answers himself, "Great question." He can teach us much. [Posterous via Agency Spy. Pic via]

Regulators! Mount. Up. Warren G got interviewed by Eric Spitznagel (Read: NILLA) for Vanity Fair. Spitznagel's interviewed lots of celebrities for lots of Nilla publications (The Believer, anyone?) and is a likable writer. But he'll remember this for a while:

Tucker Max did an interview with City Pages in Minneapolis about his movie. He said at least six untrue things:

More-ubiquitous-than-you'd-prefer scrawler/ stenciler DICKCHICKEN turns out to be just as pithy as you'd imagine.

It's almost time: time for Tucker fuckin' Max to unleash his movie ["One of the best comedies released over the past generation."—Tucker Max] on the world. You know who thinks this movie is fuckin' awesome? Tucker fuckin' Max.

Brad Pitt went on Bill Maher's show last night for a fairly candid interview. Maher grilled Pitt on his joint rolling technique, his PR invincibility, his stances on gay marriage, and life at home with the kids.

Bernie Madoff's only remaining purpose in life is to be exploited by the media. Who will land the first jailhouse TV interview with the villain? We handicap the possibilities, below.

Not content with ruining the Fourth of July weekends of dozens of cable-news personalities and producers, Sarah Palin followed up by dragging poor Andrea Mitchell and a bunch of other saps to some godforsaken fishing hole in Alaska last night.

An interview series premised on a simple idea: it's much better to talk to people after the hype cycle has buzzed on.

We finally met Bill O'Reilly's stalker-producer Jesse Watters on Saturday. It was a fleeting and civil encounter—jovial, even—but ultimately unsatisfying. We asked him some questions about his stalking, and then he drove away, because he's a coward.

Alaska Dictator Sarah Palin may or may not attend a congressional fundraising dinner in DC tonight (she is upset that she won't be allowed to speak), but she will def be seen chatting with Hannity on Fox this evening.
