...most incredible experiences in my life. [Kubrick] was so kind, nice, and open—really open to ideas. He was not a control freak. When you are making a film you want to be in charge of everything right down to the creation of the poster (because there are lots of crappy posters out there). But he would ask, “What do you think? What do you feel?” even to a little 14 year-old girl, which at the time I was. Someone so confident in himself can seek other people?...
...quiz programs have to work it a bit to keep their audiences tuning in. Luckily for “Jeopardy,” a condescending Canadian host and intelligent guests have made it the number one quiz show for 769 weeks. But, apparently, the big wigs are starting to freak out. This season, “Jeopardy” is determined to make a splash running with its secret weapon: the Clue Crew.

...helping children through his Heal the World foundation, the media was quick to condemn him. Neither was his family much comfort to him. Earlier, his brother Jermaine had released a single titled “Word to the Badd” that was a scathing denunciation of the freak he felt Michael had become.

The criminal case was eventually dismissed and Jackson vindicated, though many took his out-of-court settlement in the civil case as an admission of guilt...
There are a couple of things you should know about Colombian pop-rocker Shakira before you go any further with this thing: 1) Shakira is a control freak. She could have released her English-language debut album months ago. Years, even. Gloria Estefan was going to rewrite Shakira's songs into English for the young Colombian to sing. Instead, Shakira decided to improve her English, and Estefan ultimately assisted on just two tracks. "I can't hire other people to write songs for me," Shakira says. "I have to write them myself." 2) Shakira is a control freak. Sorry, this...
...portrayed by other journalists and from how he wished to present himself. Through interesting, relevant anecdotes gleaned from formidable amounts of research, Heavier reiterates the omnipresent commercial theme of selling out, exposing Kurt Cobain not as a misguided follower like Vicious, but as a contradictory control freak who sacrificed his life in order ensure the perpetuation of his status as a musical legend. Cross draws on an inevitable truth about major-label music that Vicious could not fathom and that Cobain knew from the start—that no music can become popular without some degree of commercial compromise...
