Fred Karger looks like a presidential candidate. He sounds like a presidential candidate. Hell, he is a presidential candidate — the only (openly) gay one currently in the running, who's now polling neck-and-neck with Newt Gingrich for the Republican presidential nomination.

In his latest film, Tabloid, documentary filmmaker Errol Morris revisits a bizarre story that dominated the British rags 30 years ago. It was a simpler time. Voicemail hadn't yet been invented, so there was nothing to hack. Our heroine, Joyce McKinney, was a busty former Miss Wyoming with an I.Q. of 168. Living then in L.A., McKinney hired a pilot, a private detective, and several musclebound bodyguards, and set off to England to rescue the runaway fiance she was convinced had been brainwashed by the Mormon Church.

It's always oddly fascinating to read interviews in which Big Tobacco executives are spoken to like ordinary businessmen rather than like the inhuman monsters that they clearly are. Look, the heartless ogre can talk just like a normal human!

Yesterday CNN anchor Don Lemon was trending on Twitter, but not because of an interview he scored or scoop he'd gotten. It was because he came out of the closet. We had a little chat with Don about how it feels to come out and the imperative to make a big announcement about his sexual orientation.

After the online vigilante group Anonymous attacked his websites last October, KISS bassist Gene Simmons promised to hunt the perpetrators down and "sue their pants off." In an interview this week he struck a much softer tone.

In POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, director Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me, Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?) exposes the shady practice of product placement... by documenting his efforts to make a movie funded entirely by product placement. Got that? It's a plate-spinning act that actually works, offering a sly and entertaining glimpse into the strange landscape of 21st Century advertising.

We here at Gawker have been too giddy ever since chief Daily Beast wordsmith Meghan McCain mentioned that she'd be interviewing Donald Trump. What nutty and awkward and flirtatious turns would this clash of egos take?

President Obama hosted a series of local news interviews yesterday afternoon in the White House. And according to some interpretations, the president "[lost] his cool" with one reporter, Brad Watson of Dallas station WFAA. Obama just went ballistic on this friggin' guy! Maybe?

Barack and Michelle Obama will return to their old stomping grounds to tape an episode of Oprah on April 27, airing May 2. It's one of Oprah's last broadcasts, and should be a good one. But is she in? [Tribune]

Interview, America's premiere source for transcripts of famous people talking amongst themselves, reaches surreal new heights in this month's cover story.

The saga of West Coast Productions' porno Teen Anal Nightmare 2 is long and twisted. Last November, the law firm Adult Copyright Company filed a record-breaking lawsuit against 9,729 anonymous BitTorrent users who allegedly pirated the film. A Judge threw it out, ruling that each defendant would have to be sued individually. The Electronic Frontier Foundation singled out the lawsuit as a particularly egregious example of "copyright trolling." "The motivation behind these cases appears to be to leverage the risk of embarrassment associated with pornography to coerce settlement payments despite serious problems with the underlying claims," the EFF wrote in a statement.

Congratulations, America! We have destroyed another teen icon. Vanity Fair's Nancy Jo Sales profiled Twilight panties-magnet Robert Pattinson, and the result is a neurotic portrait of a confused, fame-tortured agoraphobe. The opening salvo sets it up nicely:

In the first episode of Bill Maher's 12 Mile, Maher grills Sarah Silverman on her absence from movies. She said, "That's like when our parents say 'Why don't you do the Tonight Show if you want to be a comedian?'"

Last August, when Brian Williams visited David Letterman on the Late Show, Letterman expressed his concern over Williams' plans to do The Tonight Show. Tonight, in a cranky/endearing way, Letterman blasted Williams for appearing on "the goddamn Leno show."

Here's a local news interview featuring Tommy, a Hazelton, Pennsylvania resident whose house had just burned down. That's sad! Tommy's insane—and I mean insane, child—level of drunkenness, however? Well, that's just plain hilarious. "I'm gonna get racial!"

On Nov. 27, I spent an hour on the phone with former Pro Bowl defensive back Dave Duerson. Less than three months later, he sent some text messages to his family and shot himself in the chest. [Deadspin]
