Megan Fox wants "two or three" kids with husband Brian Austin Green

Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox

The 25-year-old actress – who has been married to the former 'Beverly Hills, 90210' actor since June 2010 – is eager to start a family with the 38-year-old star, who she regards as her "soul mate".

She said: "I want at least two, probably three [kids]. I've always been maternal.

"I truly feel like he's my soul mate. We've had obstacles, and we've overcome them.

"I don't want to sound corny or cliché, but I do believe that we are destined to live this part of our lives together."

Megan recalls being nervous the first time she met Brian – who has a nine-year-old son Kassius from a previous relationship with former co-star Vanessa Marcil – but she was unaware he was in 'Beverly Hills, 90210' as she was "too young" to watch it.

Speaking to America's Cosmopolitan magazine, she added: "I didn't know who he was. I was too young for 'Beverly Hills, 90210'.

"But the first time I saw him, I got butterflies. And the first time he casually touched me? There was so much electricity."

Megan and Brian first met on the set of 'Hope and Faith' in 2004 and got engaged in 2006 before briefly splitting in 2009, only to get back together and tie the knot in 2010.

Olivia Wilde feels "lucky" to have had a "peaceful" split from her husband

Olivia Wilde

The 28-year-old actress separated from spouse Tao Ruspoli last February after almost eight years of marriage and while she admits the breakdown of their relationship was painful, she knows it could have been worse.

She said: "When you split with someone you love, you think you're the only person who has ever gone through it; 'Oh did you listen to The National on repeat and lie on Marlboro Lights and chocolate for three months? Me too.'

"But I was lucky to have such a peaceful parting. It's never easy, it's f***ed up and I wouldn't recommend it. But there were no kids involved, so we could see it as this wonderful chapter.

"And anyway, you fall in love again. Oh God, to think you only fall in love once in your entire life is such a depressing thought."

Olivia is even considering turning her experiences into a screenplay.

She added in an interview with the new issue of Britain's GQ magazine: "I actually think the subject of young divorce is pretty funny and I'd like to write a movie about it. Can you imagine a young couple fighting over the Ikea furniture?"

Robert Pattinson's dad wants to go to a sex club with him

Robert Pattinson

The 'Bel Ami' actor recently visited Berlin, Germany, and was taken with the city's notorious sex joint, the KitKatClub, and when he told his father about it, he suggested they visited it together.

He said: "I was telling my dad about it last night and he sounded really into it. 'I'm coming over - let's go to the orgy club.' "

Robert - who is currently dating his 'Twilight Saga' co-star Kristen Stewart - is close to his family and says they help him cope with the pressures of fame.

He told Culture magazine: "I do everything to hide because, if someone finds out where I am, there are people outside 24 hours a day. And that's what drives you crazy, because you can't escape. It makes you not want top go out - then you don't meet anyone and just get insanely bored.

"My family think I'm insane. They are the only people I really let rip on - 'I'm going to kill myself!' My family all think I hate my job so much, but it's just the boredom that gets to you."

Anne Hathaway has "wasted time" being self-destructive

Anne Hathaway

The 'One Day' star insists she is very similar to troubled actress Lindsay Lohan - who has been to rehab and jail numerous times and experienced a string of legal problems - but she was lucky enough to be able to live out her mistakes in private.

She said: "Lindsay Lohan and I have more in common than people think. We've all done things we shouldn't.
"It is just that I did stuff at college when nobody knew about it, so I'm not a saint. I wasted time doing self-destructive things.

"I found out you can only dance on so many table tops. I got all that out of my system and I am healthy and grounded."

In 2008, Anne's ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri was arrested and subsequently jailed for fraud and the 29-year-old beauty - who is now engaged to actor Adam Schulman - says the experience taught her to maintain a sense of humour when dealing with adversity.

'The Dark Knight Rises' star added in an interview with The Sun newspaper: "I try to keep my personal life low-key, particularly after what happened to me. As I say, I do need to keep a sense of humor...

"You need to hold on to that sense of humour. I've been in so many embarrassing situations over the years."

Jessica Chastain hates saying goodbye to her co-stars when filming ends

Jessica Chastain at the Oscars

The 'Help' actress loves getting to know her cast-mates on each set and finds it difficult to adjust when shooting wraps and she doesn't see them every day.

She said: "When I first started, I'd think we're all best friends now and we love each other. And then I'd be heartbroken a month later when no one returned my calls.

"I usually cry in the trailer on the last day of filming, when no one else is around except hair and make-up [people]. I always have a cry."

Flame haired beauty Jessica also revealed casting directors were unsure of what to do with her when she first started out because she didn't fit the conventional Hollywood actress mold.

She explained to Australia's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "When I first moved to LA, I don't think anyone knew what to do with me. I'm not incredibly tall with blonde hair. There's something about me that's different, not modern. At first I was auditioning for a lot of crazy characters and victims. Which was great, because those are usually the best acting roles."

Jessica turned heads at the Academy Awards in a stunning Alexander McQueen gown.

She was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar but lost out to her 'The Help' co-star Octavia Spencer.

Michael Fassbender says he would have gone "ape sh*t" if he'd found fame at a young age

Michael Fassbender

The 34-year-old actor is now a huge global star thanks to his roles in films such as 'A Dangerous Method' and 'Shame' and while he used to be upset at not winning roles when he was younger, he is now grateful for it.

He said: "You know, I spent a lot of time out of work. Now I'm trying to make hay while the sun is shining. I wouldn't change anything. The fame thing, the honey traps, I don't know that I would've handled it well at 23. I would've gone ape sh*t."

Despite being a huge star now, Michael is still very grounded, which he credits to his upbringing in rural Ireland.

He told Now magazine: "My upbringing was pretty innocent. Fishing, climbing trees and running around the countryside.

"I was also an altar boy at a local Catholic church responsible for unlocking the doors in the morning. I slept in a few times. The whole congregation would be waiting outside and I's be running across the fields with the keys."

Sinead O'Connor's new album "How About I Be Me (And You Be You?)" is "all down to the c**k" - VIDEO

Sinead O'Connor

The singer – who released her new LP 'How About I Be Me (And You Be You?) earlier this week – hopes people who are listening to it are taken on a journey, but admits essentially it boils down to one thing, sex.

She told The Word magazine: "I always liked the idea that you listened to my records like reading the diaries of someone recovering from very severe abuse.

"A journey documented musically, and the whole point of the journey is to get happy. There's no point taking the journey if, at the end of it, you're going to be f**king miserable. But it's all down to the c**k, obviously. As it always is."

Sinead has previously made public pleas for sex and she admits she did so to cause trouble.

She said: "It was amusing, because we're still a very repressed country about sexuality. It was hilarious, reactions and reactions, six weeks of complete f**king mayhem which was just the best six weeks I've ever had in my life!"

Sinéad O'Connor - The Wolf Is Getting Married @ El Rey Theatre 2/20/2012:

Gerard Butler attended a pre-Oscars bash on Saturday, one day after leaving rehab

Gerard Butler

The '300' actor recently spent three weeks at the Betty Ford Center in California receiving treatment for problems with prescription drugs before being released on Friday and Gerard quickly rejoined the party circuit at the Weinstein Company's gathering at Soho House in West Hollywood.

According to the New York Post newspaper, he chatted to a number of women, telling one, "I feel pretty good."

Before attending the bash on Saturday, Scottish actor Gerard was spotted jogging along Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood with his personal trainer, smiling and waving at fans.

He also enjoyed a solo lunch in Malibu after his release on Friday, where he was spotted with only a book for company.

After his release from the treatment centre, his representative, Rupert Fowler, said: "Gerard has completed a successful course of treatment and has returned home in good health."

Gerard had entered the facility after realising he was becoming dependent on prescription drugs.

His problems were allegedly triggered by the physical demands of shooting '300' in 2006 when he started taking painkillers to cope with numerous injuries he got while shooting the action film.

The problem got worse when the 42-year-old actor was badly hurt in a surfing accident when filming 'Of Men and Mavericks' - which tells the true life story of late surfing icon Jay Moriarty - in December.

Gerard got caught in a 12ft swell at the infamous big-wave Northern Californian surfing spot Maverick's.

After being pulled from the water onto a jet ski, he was taken to shore and driven to Stanford Medical Centre where he was kept under observation for one night.

Sinead O'Connor "sneaks" into the garden to smoke pot

Sinead O'Connor

The 'Wolf Is Getting Married' singer – who has previously revealed a love of the drug – admits her children, Jake, 24, Roisine, 15, Shane, seven and Yeshua, five, do not know she enjoys smoking dope because she does so in secret.

She said: "Oh the kids don't know I smoke dope! I just sneak down the garden. But kids now, they're very anti-drink and drugs and cigarettes."

Sinead has come to an agreement with her daughter Roisine that she will get drunk for the first time in the presence of her mother so she can assess how she reacts.

She added: "Roisine is 16 in March and I have an agreement that the first few times she drinks, she'll do it at home. So she knows whether she's the type who's going to have her knickers round her ankles after a bottle of vodka walking down the high street."

However she admits she has a stricter view of her children smoking weed than she has on herself, because she is worried she would "lose them down a tunnel".

She told The Word magazine: "With the older one and his mates, yeah, they were smoking dope but they were 18, 19. And I was more worried they'd be out getting arrested. Which has happened.

"So I just said, 'I'm going to pretend I didn't see it and just go down the garden and don't get arrested.' But now I wouldn't allow it. With teenagers you can lose them like that, down a tunnel."

Adam Sandler has received a record 11 nominations for this year's Razzies

The actor has been put forward for several dubious honors at the ceremony, which celebrates the worst films of the past year in a spoof to the Oscars.

His nominations include Worst Actor for both 'Jack and Jill' and 'Just Go with It' - and Worst Actress for 'Jack and Jill' in which he plays a family man and his own twin sister.

He also has two nominations as Worst Screen Couple opposite Jennifer Aniston or Brooklyn Decker in 'Just Go with It' and opposite Katie Holmes, Al Pacino or himself in 'Jack and Jill'.

After being a producer on 'Bucky Larson' and 'Jack and Jill', Sandler received nods in the Worst Picture and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel categories. He also got Worst-Screenplay nominations as a writer on both movies, and a Worst Ensemble nomination for 'Jack and Jill'.

Razzies founder John Wilson said: "It's almost karmic for someone to have made that much razz-able stuff in one year. He has angered someone really powerful, I would say."

The awards are normally held the night before the Oscars - which take place 26th February - but organizers have now moved them to April 1 as they think April Fool's Day is the ideal time to have them.

Wilson said: "I have always wondered if we stepped slightly away from lockstep with the Oscars, what would happen. We just kept hoping the Oscars would do their ceremony on April 2, but they just never did."

Other nominees include 'New Year's Eve', 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon', The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1', Nicole Kidman, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

New photos of Robert Pattinson leaving pre-Oscar bash

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart

Recent photos of Robert Pattinson leaving a pre-Oscar soiree with girlfriend Kristen Stewart, show the 'Twilight' actor looking a little worse for wear.

The couple were spotted at the William Endeavor Morris pre-Oscar party in the upscale suburb of Brentwood, Los Angeles this weekend, according the Daily Mail.

Pictures were snapped as the dressed-down pair left the scene, with Kristen Stewart languishing behind in an attempt to avoid being photographed together.

They were quickly ushered into an awaiting vehicle and headed for Chateau Marmont, a celebrity hot shot.

New "Quiet Man" movie trail takes visitors on a tour of the classic Irish film

Irish film 'The Shore' directed by Terry George wins short film Oscar

Ciaran Hinds star of Oscar winning "The Shore"

Irish short film 'The Shore' has won the Best Short Film Oscar.

Northern Irish filmmaker Terry George, creator of the critically acclaimed film ‘Hotel Rwanda’, directed the movie.

The film, shot very nearby his home outside of Belfast, tells the story of a man returning to the area for the first time in 25 years after he fled during The Troubles.

In his acceptance remarks George paid tribute to the people of Northern Ireland who made peace after 30 years of conflict. He was accompanied on stage by his daughter Orla.

The film tells the tale of the lead character, played by Ciaran Hinds, who George directed in ‘Some Mother’s Son’, returning to Northern Ireland for the first time since he had left 25 years ago. He brings along with him his daughter, and the two go for a “bittersweet” visit to his old best friend.

“I really view it as a continuum of the work I’ve done on the Troubles,” said George of ‘The Shore.’ The short film joins other projects of his such as ‘The Boxer’ and ‘In the Name of the Father’ which take on themes dealing with The Troubles.

“But ‘The Shore” deals with “the reconciliation side of it,” said George of his newest project. “We’d never gotten to that in my other films.… So this little story, for me, has the sense that I have of Northern Ireland now, that people have moved on and want the communication to begin.”

The film, which runs just short of 30 minutes, also allowed George to explore more of a comedic route than what he had done in other films. The basis of ‘The Shore’ comes from a humorous story his uncle told George and Irish actor Daniel Day-Lewis while the duo were exploring Belfast for research on the movie ‘In the Name of the Father.’

His uncle’s story was that of a friend returning to Ireland after fleeing during The Troubles, which led his friends to mistakenly pin him for an unemployment inspector. George inserted the story into ‘The Shore’ in a scene in which George has said has received the most laughs at the film’s several screenings.

George welcomed the new gauge for the film: “Laughter’s the only barometer you can judge the audience with in a theater. Usually with the films [I make], there’s a deathly silence –- the intensity of the films kind of washes over people. So to go in there and have people laughing, it was quite magical.”

George kept the production a personal and family affair, employing many relatives in production roles and as extras. Free from studio involvement, George “had total control,” he said, “Other than my daughter bossing me around.” His daughter co-produced the film alongside him.

The LA Times reports that the film is in discussion with iTunes for distribution, and George hopes to see the short film run on British and Irish television.

Una Healy is having her baby bump edited out of her latest music video

The Saturdays singer - who is expecting her first child, a daughter, with her fiance, England rugby player Ben Foden - admitted while she is "proud" of her pregnancy, her tot will be born by the time the video is out so she doesn't think it would "make sense" for it to feature in the shots.

"I don't want bump in the video because she will be born when it hits the tv screens so it wouldn't make sense or relevance by then!

Sinead O'Connor is planning her husband's funeral

The 'Nothing Compares 2 U' hitmaker – who has had an on-off relationship with Barry Herridge since their marriage in December – thinks her spouse is "completely and utterly nuts" and so obsessed with death, he thinks he will pass away in three years.

She said: "He's a very unusual character. We call him Wednesday, out of 'The Addams Family.'

"He has this mad thing where he's convinced he's going to die in three years. I keep laughing. He asked me to marry him on the first date. He said, 'Because I'll need you to do this, that, with my ashes.' We're working out the funeral every day. He's completely and utterly nuts in a very safe way. I'm having a great time."

"Demi has a long way to go, but she is getting better. She has many days where she feels great."

The source added: "She is on the right path and won't leave rehab until she's ready."

Megan - who is married to 'Beverly Hills, 90210' star Brian Austin Green - also enjoyed unpopular hobbies including archaeology which meant she couldn't integrate with the popular crowd.

Speaking of her fascination with history and possible government cover-ups, she said: "I would love to go on a dig. Come on! You don't think everything that's learned is released to the public, do you?"

"But I took them out recently when I was asked to portray her. It's a tiny connection to her."

Liam Neeson set to play President Lyndon Johnson in new movie .....Oprah, John Cusack also expected to star

Liam Neeson is expected to play President Lyndon Baines Johnson in a new movie based on the experience of a black butler in the White House.

Director Lee Daniels is casting his film 'The Butler,' the story of Eugene Allen, a servant who served through eight White House presidents including LBJ. according to FirstShowing.net.

Daniels, who is African American, directed Academy Awards winning movie 'Monsters Ball' and also last year's hit 'Precious.'

Allen survived to cast a vote for Barack Obama and saw him elected president.

Allen began working in the White House in 1952 under President Truman and remained there until Ronald Reagan.

In addition to Neeson as LBJ, John Cusack, Mila Kunis and Oprah Winfrey are also being pursued for major roles.

Winfrey will be sought for the role of Allen's wife.

Cusack is down to play Richard Nixon while David Oyelowo is seen as the most likely actor to play Allen.

The LBJ era is heavily featured as it was the time when the civil rights legislation came into law and its dramatic effect on blacks, including the working in the White House became clear.

Ironically, Neeson had been considered for the role of Abraham Lincoln in a new Steven Spielberg film but that role has since been taken by Daniel Day Lewis, a fellow Irish citizen.

Neeson had also wanted to work with Daniels on a previous film where he would have also played LBJ. He was wanted for the role in Daniels' now dead project 'Selma,' so this just makes sense. Hopefully we'll hear official word on casting for 'The Butler' sooner than later.

Ed Sheeran has offered a dying teenager a VIP trip to one of his concerts

Ed Sheean

The BRIT Award-winning singer was so moved after reading about brave 14-year-old Abigail Fleming - who is battling bone cancer and has said it is her dream to see him play before she dies - that he sent her a video message giving her the opportunity to watch him perform.

He said: "I was so touched when I heard her story that I just wanted to do something.

"I wasn't in the UK at the time, so I recorded a message and sent it to her straight away. She's a very brave girl."

However, Abigail - who is holding her 16th birthday party two years early because doctors have told her she has just weeks to live - may not be able to make the gig because she is so ill.

Her mother Maria told The Sun newspaper: "She was delighted and really pleased. We put it on the iPod so Abigail could watch it when she woke up.

"He said Happy Birthday in the message and asked if she wanted to get to a gig - and he said he could sort it out. We don't know if Abi will make it to a show though because she only has days or weeks left."

Apart from seeing Ed, Abigail also wants to fly in a hot air balloon and have a custard pie and jelly fight.

She said: "I'm determined to enjoy the time I have left with family and friends."

For her party she had planned to charge a £2 entrance fee so she could complete her 'bucket list' before she dies.

All hail King Will Ferrell at the Mardi Gras Parade in New Orleans

Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell donned the red gown and crown as King Bacchus, the Roman God of Wine, in the New Orleans' annual Mardi Gras parade.

The Irish American actor has been in New Orleans since last November working on his upcoming political comedy "Dog Fight". In his new movie he plays a political idiot Cam Brady alongside his costar Zach Galifianakis. "The Hangover" star was also on board at the Mardi Gras parade.

Speaking to the Times-Picayune Ferrell said "I don't know what to expect. I do have to say, everybody is coming up to me and...they have the same speech pattern. They go 'Have you been here before for Mardi Gras?' And I say 'No.' Then they pause. 'Oh. You're going to have a good time.'"

He adds, "It's slightly ominous, almost like it's going to be fraternity hazing or something. But I don't know what to expect. I'm not going to try to predict [what happens], and I think it's going to be crazy and fun."

Bruce Springsteen feels there is "something missing" in his music following E Street Band death of his saxophonist Clarence Clemons

Clarence Clemons and Bruce Springsteen

The 'Born to Run' hitmaker was devastated by the passing of E Street Band member Clarence Clemons in June 2011 but feels "lucky" that the musician was able to play on a track on his new album  'Wrecking ball'.

Bruce said: "I met Clarence when I was 22, my son's age, still a child really.

"Something happened when we got close, it fired my imagination.

"So losing Clarence was like something elemental, the air or the rain. There's just something missing.

"We were lucky to get him on 'The Land of Hope and Dreams'. When the sax solo comes up, it's a lovely moment to me."

Bruce writes from his own experiences but hopes his fans are still able to relate to his songs.

He added: "My work has always been about judging the distance between the American reality and the American Dream.

"I write to process my own experiences and if I can do that for me, I hope I can do that for you."

Former Libertines' front man Pete Doherty has stopped injecting drugs

Pete Doherty

The former Libertines rocker - who has had a well documented battle with substance abuse - will not get high from needles any more out of respect for his mystery girlfriend as he doesn't want her to dabble with drugs.

He said of his addictions: "I've stopped injecting.

"The only way I see myself in a serious relationship is if I am toning it down a bit. When you're banging up all day you can't really have someone in your life, especially if she's an English rose. I wouldn't let her touch anything. I just wouldn't."

Pete - who famously dated supermodel Kate Moss from January 2005 and July 2007 - also says he's more calmer in his life since quitting London and moving to the French capital of Paris three years ago.

Speaking to The Independent newspaper, he said: "The media circus got a bit twisted when I was in London. It became a bit of a joke, really. In Paris, they're so serious I can take myself really seriously, too. I can get really morbid without people telling me to cheer up."

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart share Hollywood mansion

'Twilight' star Robert Pattinson bought a $6 million Hollywood mansion back in September and is reportedly living there now with his lady love Kristen Stewart.

The three-bedroom, three-bath luxury home comes complete with a solar-heated pool, amphitheater and an "extensive" wine cellar, according to the Daily Mail.

The Spanish colonial-style house, which was built in 1921, "is walled, gated and has a state-of-the-art security system."

Pattinson's neighbors are a missionary group of Catholic priests -- the next door house is owned and occupied by the Order of Columban Fathers.

"I doubt they will be too concerned to have a vampire living in their midst," joked a local real estate agent.

'Ides of March' star George Clooney admits to being lonely

Georgre Clooney

The 'Ides of March' actor - who is currently dating ex-wrestler Stacy Keibler - has confessed he has a "very tough time" nodding off, and often feels alone when attending public events.

He said: "Turning off the television causes me to think, and once I start that vision roaring, I have a very tough time getting to sleep. I'm able to numb out. Without question, I wake every night five times."

"Anyone would be lying if they said they didn't get lonely at times. The loneliest you will get is in the most public of arenas: You will go to a place and end up in the smallest compartment possible, because it's a distraction to everybody, and you end up not getting to enjoy it like everyone else."

However, the 50-year-old star - who has previously dated a host of beauties, including Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis and British presenter Lisa Snowdon - explained he has felt "infinitely more alone" in bad relationships in the past.

He added in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter: "I have been infinitely more alone in a bad relationship; there's nothing more isolating. I have been in places in my life where that has existed."

Meanwhile, George admitted he has previously been through the "painful" experience of trying to get a former flame back.

He explained: "[I've been] left for someone; all those things. And it was sometimes a surprise, and sometimes you saw it coming. The most painful was when I kept trying to get one woman back. But we all make dumb mistakes."

The 31-year-old actress locks lips with the British star in their new movie 'Bel Ami' and she found him "lovely" to work with because of their shared sense of humor.

And she admits locking lips with Robert - who is dating his 'Twilight' co-star Kristen Stewart - isn't the hardest thing she's ever been asked to do.

She said: "Everyone keeps asking me how it is to kiss Robert. He's a good kisser. And I'm not being nice. It's just like that

"He's always the kind of guy that you can look at and go, 'Oh God, this is uncomfortable'. And he's really lovely to work with, especially in those kinds of scenes because he's so quick to laugh at himself - and me. He's very self-deprecating, as am I."

Christina has stripped for several film roles - including 'Prozac Nation', 'AfterLife' and 'The Ice Storm' - and insists she has no problem with on-screen nudity, though she admits she doesn't know why she has had so many raunchy roles.

In an interview with Total Film magazine, she said: "I'm not really sure how that's all happened. It goes with the territory sometimes. It goes with what a certain character is going through, and what happens in the story.

"I think it's best not to have feelings about that kind of thing either way. If it's required for the part, it's required. If it's not, then I don't have to worry about being naked.

"I'm OK with it. I've learned to be OK with it. It takes a while to get used to, definitely, but you learn."

CNN’s Robert Zimmerman compares Sarah Palin to Jersey Shore’s Snooki - VIDEO

Sarah Palin and Snooki

When Sarah Palin recently claimed that she still “doubts” GOP presidential candidate hopeful Mitt Romney’s conservative standpoint, she opened herself up again for criticism.

“I’m not quite sure what she would be referring to. I’m pro-life, pro-traditional marriage,” said Romney when Palin’s concerns were brought to his attention. He also pointed to his conservative practices while he was governor of Massachusetts.

A CNN commentator recently asked Will Cain and Robert Zimmerman, “Is that the criteria for conservatism?”

“Well first of all, I’m not going to award Sarah Palin high priestess of defining conservatism,” said CNN’s Will Cain.

Later, other CNN correspondent Robert Zimmerman compared Palin to the pint-sized guidette of ‘Jersey Shore’ fame. "Having to defend your credentials to Sarah Palin—that's like having to defend your sense of character and style to Snooki and Nicki Minaj, and defending your sense of history to Rick Perry or Michele Bachmann."

Watch the video below. What do you think of Palin’s judgements of Romney? Do you agree or disagree with what the CNN commentators said?
