“I hate anything to do with nostalgia and retro.” – Gary Numan
Gary Numan is best known to American audiences as the creator of the classic song “Cars” back in the 1980s. But Numan has never stopped making his unique brand of electronic music. Powerful, deep, hot and cold at the same time, Numan revolutionizes music with every new album. His latest is Jagged which is produced by one of the best hard techno producers out there, Ade Fenton.

“They’re pushing their bodies beyond endurance to extreme ends for the entertainment of others.”
– Christa Faust
Christa Faust’s new novel Choke Hold is a sexy and violent thriller, and though it’s a sequel to her earlier novel Money Shot, it’s a very different book.
Faust has spent her career writing a series of decidedly different novels, from the Porn Valley set noir of Money Shot to the Lucha Libre detective tale Hoodtown to an investigation into New York’s S&M subculture in Control Freak to a strange erotic tale of the Peking Opera, Hollywood and homophobia in Triads (which she co-wrote with her friend Poppy Z. Brite). In between these heavily researched projects she writes tie-in books for Supernatural and other television shows and novelizations of films like Friday the Thirteenth and Snakes on a Plane. Faust, who has worked as a professional dominatrix, is also known as the writer-director of the bondage serial adventure Dita in Distress. She recently announced her next project, Butch Fatale: Dyke Dick in Double-D Double Cross, which will be released as an ebook in February (a NSFW excerpt is previewed on her website).
A longtime resident of Los Angeles, she spoke with SG on the phone.

“The only thing thats hard to hear is techno unless I’m drunk, then it works.”
– Wyclef Jean
It seems that it is hard to be an extremely popular musician but still be a revolutionary at the same time. Certainly Wyclef Jean disproves that. After The Fugees became a monstrous music phenomenon they stopped making music and they all went on to solo projects with Wyclef being the most successful. Now he’s breaking into movies as the drug dealer in the cop film Dirty and reuniting with The Fugees in Dave Chappelle’s Block Party.

“I wear makeup and I’m not afraid to wear womens clothes so I guess that definitely had an impact on me.”

“I use the script as the platform to go and do it and as long as I know what I’m talking about, I dont ever feel the need to go off and immerse myself in any world. I think it’s much more just trying to execute what the writer has intended.”
– Clive Owen
It’s a good time to be Clive Owen. In the past year he’s received an Oscar nomination for Closer, had a big role in the groundbreaking Sin City and made out with Jennifer Aniston in Derailed. Now he’s starring in the Spike Lee directed bank heist film Inside Man alongside Denzel Washington and Jodie Foster.

“I think what’s fun in the structure of these movies is that the audience is in on it but one of the characters isn’t.”
– Matthew McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey is very much like the characters he’s played in a few of his movies. He’s easy going, laid back, charming and very easy to talk to. He plays another one of those guys in the romantic comedy Failure to Launch. His character Trip is a wealthy boat broker who still lives with his parents at age 35! So his parents hire Sarah Jessica Parker to fall in love with him so he will have the confidence to move out.

“I’ve always made my own way and then I saw somebody who was just going with the flow, it looked really attractive and nice.”
