Thanks for all the new interviews. Is it me or is the Cosmo video interview exactly the same as Marie Claire video interview that was posted a few days ago? The questions and responses are identical down to the last letter.

@Serena the questions and answers are the same. THey jus added 2 questions. Yea I lhought the same. Thanks Stephanie for uploading this interview, I like this one. He is so so you know.

Serena said:

@Kell, I just noticed that they added a couple more. Must be a single press conference for all the media outlets and borrowing each other’s questions.

@Ben, Skype? Really? Thought he was adamantly anti-computers/internet and you can’t use an iPhone for that program last I checked. .

Serena,

When celebrities say they don’t like the internet, what they mean is they don’t like to read some of the comments people make about them over the internet. Perfectly understandable because people can be unnecessarily cruel sometimes. Especially when they have anonymity and don’t have to own their words. There are plenty of other uses for the internet, so I doubt that Ben would shy away from using it completely.

I just love that pic of him with the ponytail. Thanks, Steph!

Serena said:

Lily, I completely understand that and I do agree with that reasoning. I thought it was interesting, given his past comments where he has said he hates it because it’s not a healthy place for anyone to be (including him), etc and even in a fairly recent (in the last 2-3 months?) interview he was asked about it again and said that he doesn’t even own a computer because of it. And yes you can do anything on the internet and even access it completely from most of the high tech smartphones, such as what he has, but you can’t do everything on a phone’s internet connection unless he’s changed his mind since then. He’s a big boy so he can do whatever he wants but it comes across as confusing to say one thing insistently and then turn around and say something else later when less confusing/contradictory wording could be used instead or just tell the reporters that it isn’t their business because many things are not that they want to know.
