What are some questions we think should be asked? I know not everyone is comfortable on camera so if people were to ask.. does anyone have suggestions?

[dalki]

petey, if some members are comfortable enough to be on camera (and have the equipment) and ask questions for the rest of us, that would be great.

Q: Does she know yet what style and direction she's going for with her next album?
Q: Does she have any idea when she might be able to get the next album out?
Q: How did signing with Columbia come about? And when did it start happening, before or after she was cast in Smash?

I 63. Haha

[this is sick]

i love that she's doing CNN instead of Fox News now. if you're going to sit down with a news channel, do the one that's legitimate. then again, Fox News is all Verve could book her on.

still waiting for them to air the larry king live interview.

[Joffrey Baratheon]

I'm pretty sure Kat (COUGH) booked those herself. Remember, that was during the Xmas album era

[Justin]

This is probably another one of those things that will never actually happen

[Majid]

Definitely ask about her upcoming album. And don't ask her any idol-related questions.

But I really want to know why she wasn't invited to the season 6 finale lol

[dalki]

She wasn't all Fox all the time (just most of the time). There was Joy Behr on HLN and the Larry King Christmas special. At least she never went on Glenn Beck's show like Michael Buble did.

[McPhilty]

She went to the Glenn Beck show in the RCA era, did you forget about this?

[dalki]

She went to the Glenn Beck show in the RCA era, did you forget about this?

Did she? I don't recall that at all

[Joffrey Baratheon]

It was pretty memorable.

[McPhilty]

Douchebag Glenn sat on the floor and sang Over the Rainbow. Kat had a WTF look afterwards. Does that ring a bell?

[dalki]

Douchebag Glenn sat on the floor and sang Over the Rainbow. Kat had a WTF look afterwards. Does that ring a bell?

No, sorry.

[Just Breathe]

I'll do this

[McPhilty]

It's not on Youtube anymore, but I found that video of Buble and Glenn Beck, and Glenn brought up Kat. LOL at Buble's reaction.

[this is sick]

She wasn't all Fox all the time (just most of the time). There was Joy Behr on HLN and the Larry King Christmas special.

lol those aren't any better.

[dalki]

lol those aren't any better.

No, they aren't. Just sayin' it wasn't all Fox

LOLing at your morbidly obese list of Katharine questions.

i love that she's doing CNN instead of Fox News now. if you're going to sit down with a news channel, do the one that's legitimate. then again, Fox News is all Verve could book her on.

Fox News gets far more viewers than CNN. CNN has been tanking lately. And their politics are equally shitty, except CNN is more neutrally shitty.

Katharine also interviewed with Andrea Mitchell (best/most legitimate cable news person she's interviewed with by a MILE) on MSNBC this week, which is the best place for politics as far as cable goes (Disclaimer: IMO***), but also crappy ratings in comparison to Fox News.

[hankscnn]

Hi don't forget to post your video with the deadline just a few hours away - thank you!
