Question 1 of 10
1. Jonno the journalist had managed to make his way to the red carpet in time to meet Mr. Smith of 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' (2005) fame on premiere night of 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' (2008). Jonno asked Mr. Smith if he could spare two minutes for an interview and the latter politely accepted. After the interview Jonno said that even though he preferred Mr. Smith's 'Interview with the Vampire' (1994), he had enjoyed this interview, too! Who on Earth is this Mr. Smith fellow? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Jonno the journalist can quite often be mean when writing about celebrities. He controversially wrote about one actress from a family who left Honduras for the USA that if her name was Betty, she would be better off addressed as 'Ugly Betty'! Who is this fashion disaster that Jonno writes about? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Jonno the journalist knew that stalking a Hollywood celebrity in their home was a 'Risky Business' (1983) but he didn't care and continued regardless! Whilst Jonno was loitering he thought he saw a man in a 'Magnolia' (1999) room checking to see if the coast was clear. Before Jonno knew it, he had missed his opportunity to scoop an interview with the actor as he made his escape in a rather nice car. Who does this actor think he is? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Jonno the journalist is careful to tailor his articles so that they appeal to his target audience. His articles are mostly read by 'The Young and the Restless' as well as by 'Desperate Housewives'. The people that are classified in these groups may have been interested in Jonno's latest interview with which star who married NBA player, Tony Parker? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Jonno the journalist is very dedicated to his profession and will follow the stars of Hollywood around the world in the hope of scooping the must-have interview of the day. Sometimes Jonno feels as though he is on a wild goose chase. Take last week for example, Jonno started off outside the home of a celebrity and he soon saw a limo leave the house; he immediately started to follow 'The Departed' (2006). There was no way that Jonno was going to be outsmarted by a guy who attended Harvard University and he muttered to himself that he is 'Stuck on You' (2003). Who was Jonno stuck to? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Working in the entertainment industry, it is crucial that Jonno the journalist keeps up to date with the most popular TV programmes of the day. He once tried to get an interview with the boss of 'House, M.D' but was told by the celebrity's agent that she had disappeared 'Without a Trace'! Who is this elusive lady? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. Jonno the journalist is a tough guy on the surface but on the inside he is the sort of guy who would secretly cry to movies such as 'Titanic' (1997). Thus, he had always wanted to meet the stars of the massive hit and luckily he bumped into Kate Winslet at the Oscars one year. However, the male star of the movie seemed to be playing games with Jonno; it was almost as if he was childishly taunting him, mocking him with cries of 'Catch Me If You Can' (2002). Who is Jonno trying to catch? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Jonno the journalist is often very critical of new TV series, but he was very fond of the phenomenon that was 'Sex and the City'. However, Jonno was not very forgiving about the 1982 flop that was 'Square Pegs'. In one of Jonno's classic column quizzes "Entertainment for the Enlightened: Yesterday's Flops, Today" he asked his readers who starred in 'Square Pegs'. What could the answer be? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. When Jonno the journalist gets the idea of interviewing a Hollywood star he is relentless in pursuing it. If he has to book a hotel for 'Six Days Seven Nights' (1998) in order to meet a certain celebrity, then that is what he will do. This was the case when Jonno wanted to find out 'What Lies Beneath' (2000) the persona of a certain actor just before the 2008 premiere of 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'. Who was Jonno asking such searching questions to? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. Very often journalists will follow the trend, with regards to the hit TV shows, just because it is the popular thing to do, but, not Jonno! Jonno has integrity and he likes the world to know about it. For example, Jonno was less than impressed with 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and he wrote a damning review of the show in his column. He did say though that he didn't write the article with 'Cruel Intentions' (1999) and that if the show improved he might be able to end 'The Grudge' (2004). He tried and succeeded in getting an interview with the star of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', so, who would Jonno be posing questions to? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Jonno the journalist had managed to make his way to the red carpet in time to meet Mr. Smith of 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' (2005) fame on premiere night of 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' (2008). Jonno asked Mr. Smith if he could spare two minutes for an interview and the latter politely accepted. After the interview Jonno said that even though he preferred Mr. Smith's 'Interview with the Vampire' (1994), he had enjoyed this interview, too! Who on Earth is this Mr. Smith fellow?

Answer: Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt was born one week before Christmas Day 1963 in the US state of Oklahoma. He was as well known for his very high profile relationships with 'Friends' star Jennifer Aniston and 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider' star Angelina Jolie than he was for his acting career.

You see, Jonno is a shameless chap and he had the audacity to ask Brad Pitt that if they were casting for an addition to the stars of 'Ocean's Thirteen' (2007), could he put in a good word for him. I somehow doubt that Jonno will be appearing at a cinema near you anytime soon!
2. Jonno the journalist can quite often be mean when writing about celebrities. He controversially wrote about one actress from a family who left Honduras for the USA that if her name was Betty, she would be better off addressed as 'Ugly Betty'! Who is this fashion disaster that Jonno writes about?

Answer: America Ferrera

America Ferrera was born on April 18, 1984 in Los Angeles, California. She shot to fame, after a few relatively low-key film appearances, as a fashion disaster named Betty Suarez in the TV series 'Ugly Betty'. This marvellous TV series showed the struggles of an Hispanic family getting by in New York City and Betty's determination to make a career for herself in the ostensibly materialistic world of the fashion magazine, "Mode"!

Jonno later issued an apology to his readers for being so rude and promised that he would never be so insulting towards a celebrity again. Ever. Really!
3. Jonno the journalist knew that stalking a Hollywood celebrity in their home was a 'Risky Business' (1983) but he didn't care and continued regardless! Whilst Jonno was loitering he thought he saw a man in a 'Magnolia' (1999) room checking to see if the coast was clear. Before Jonno knew it, he had missed his opportunity to scoop an interview with the actor as he made his escape in a rather nice car. Who does this actor think he is?

Answer: Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise (Thomas Cruise Mapother IV) was born in July of 1962 and was known for starring in a long list of films including 'Risky Business', 'Magnolia' and 'Rain Man' (1989). He was never one to shy away from controversy and was responsible for bringing the Church of Scientology to the attention of the mainstream audience.

Jonno the journalist was devastated that he didn't manage to bag the interview with Tom Cruise but deep down he always knew it was going to be 'Mission: Impossible' (1996). As you can see, Jonno will use puns to fill the column inches when he lacks any substantial material!
4. Jonno the journalist is careful to tailor his articles so that they appeal to his target audience. His articles are mostly read by 'The Young and the Restless' as well as by 'Desperate Housewives'. The people that are classified in these groups may have been interested in Jonno's latest interview with which star who married NBA player, Tony Parker?

Answer: Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria was born on March 15, 1975 in Corpus Christi, Texas. It was there that she grew up on the family farm and after a revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey, it seemed as though Eva Longoria lived in very basic conditions with little money in hand.

Much was made of Longoria's beauty and she topped or came near to the top of a great number of lists of the world's famously beautiful.
5. Jonno the journalist is very dedicated to his profession and will follow the stars of Hollywood around the world in the hope of scooping the must-have interview of the day. Sometimes Jonno feels as though he is on a wild goose chase. Take last week for example, Jonno started off outside the home of a celebrity and he soon saw a limo leave the house; he immediately started to follow 'The Departed' (2006). There was no way that Jonno was going to be outsmarted by a guy who attended Harvard University and he muttered to himself that he is 'Stuck on You' (2003). Who was Jonno stuck to?

Answer: Matt Damon

Matt Damon was born in October of 1970 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a city that is also home to Harvard University which Damon attended for a few years. However, the Hollywood star didn't graduate from Harvard and instead took his life down the road of acting, a choice that I'm sure he doesn't regret!

Jonno the journalist has become used to only speaking to press agents instead of the stars, but Matt Damon's press agent caught Jonno on a very bad day. The journalist threw a diva tantrum and left the press agent to spew his 'Dogma' (1999) to those who have time to listen to it!
6. Working in the entertainment industry, it is crucial that Jonno the journalist keeps up to date with the most popular TV programmes of the day. He once tried to get an interview with the boss of 'House, M.D' but was told by the celebrity's agent that she had disappeared 'Without a Trace'! Who is this elusive lady?

Answer: Lisa Edelstein

Lisa Edelstein was a very successful member of the cast of 'House, M.D' where she played Dr. Lisa Cuddy, the Dean of Medicine of the teaching hospital at Princeton-Plainsboro, New Jersey. There were many amusing scenes depicting the tumultuous relationship between Dr. Cuddy and Dr. House, the latter played by Hugh Laurie. Lisa Edelstein had also made a lot of guest appearance in popular TV series and they include 'Without a Trace', 'ER' and 'Frasier'.

Jonno had been having a very bad week and being unable to grab an interview with Lisa Edelstein just made it worse! He said to her agent that he was not impressed and felt so angry that he wouldn't care if you 'Just Shoot Me!'. Now, now Jonno, there is always another day...
7. Jonno the journalist is a tough guy on the surface but on the inside he is the sort of guy who would secretly cry to movies such as 'Titanic' (1997). Thus, he had always wanted to meet the stars of the massive hit and luckily he bumped into Kate Winslet at the Oscars one year. However, the male star of the movie seemed to be playing games with Jonno; it was almost as if he was childishly taunting him, mocking him with cries of 'Catch Me If You Can' (2002). Who is Jonno trying to catch?

Answer: Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio was born on November 11, 1974 in Los Angeles, California and by 1991 he was already finding roles in movies. His big break came in 1997, a year after his performance in 'Romeo + Juliet', when he was cast along with Kate Winslet in one of the most successful movies of all time, 'Titanic'. DiCaprio played poor man Jack Dawson who managed to win a ticket in a game of poker. He would soon catch the eye of the rather more wealthy Rose DeWitt Bukater, played by Winslet.

If Jonno was to be honest he wasn't exactly impressed with having to try so hard to get an interview with Leonardo DiCaprio. So, Jonno the journalist decided that he wasn't going to fight against the 'Gangs of New York' (2002) to get to Leonardo DiCaprio but would instead go and relax on 'The Beach' (2000).
8. Jonno the journalist is often very critical of new TV series, but he was very fond of the phenomenon that was 'Sex and the City'. However, Jonno was not very forgiving about the 1982 flop that was 'Square Pegs'. In one of Jonno's classic column quizzes "Entertainment for the Enlightened: Yesterday's Flops, Today" he asked his readers who starred in 'Square Pegs'. What could the answer be?

Answer: Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker was born on March 25, 1965 in the US state of Ohio. She was known not only for her performances in TV programmes (both good and bad), but for her film appearances also. She acted in 'Footloose' (1984), 'The First Wives Club' (1996) and 'Sex and the City: The Movie' (2008).

Jonno is such an egotist that he claims to be the primary reason for the failure and termination of the CBS so-called comedy, 'Square Pegs'. He is sure his readers will agree...
9. When Jonno the journalist gets the idea of interviewing a Hollywood star he is relentless in pursuing it. If he has to book a hotel for 'Six Days Seven Nights' (1998) in order to meet a certain celebrity, then that is what he will do. This was the case when Jonno wanted to find out 'What Lies Beneath' (2000) the persona of a certain actor just before the 2008 premiere of 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'. Who was Jonno asking such searching questions to?

Answer: Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford was born in July of 1942 in the US city of Chicago. He was perhaps best known for two series of films and they are 'Star Wars' (the original trilogy) and 'Indiana Jones' (original trilogy plus a 2008 cinematic release). In the first three 'Star Wars' movies Harrison Ford played the popular character, Han Solo and in 'Indiana Jones' he played the title character.

Some way into the interview, Harrison Ford posed a tough question to Jonno the journalist when he asked whether he thinks it's right to stalk people at their homes. Jonno simply replied that he often felt like 'The Fugitive' (1993).
10. Very often journalists will follow the trend, with regards to the hit TV shows, just because it is the popular thing to do, but, not Jonno! Jonno has integrity and he likes the world to know about it. For example, Jonno was less than impressed with 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and he wrote a damning review of the show in his column. He did say though that he didn't write the article with 'Cruel Intentions' (1999) and that if the show improved he might be able to end 'The Grudge' (2004). He tried and succeeded in getting an interview with the star of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', so, who would Jonno be posing questions to?

Answer: Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar was born on April 14, 1977 in New York City, New York. The actress that was most famous for 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' married actor Freddie Prinze, Jr., in 2002. An interesting piece of information is that Sarah Michelle Gellar had a phobia of being buried alive. She talked about the issue by saying "I really fear graveyards and I have a big phobia of being buried alive. It was really hard being a...vampire slayer when you are afraid of graves."

After the interview, Sarah Michelle Gellar said to Jonno that if he is ever so crass about her work again it won't be vampires that are being slayed! Jonno was furious and retorted "you just wait for my next column, Buffy! 'I Know What You Did Last Summer!' (1997)" I am sure she is nervous about Jonno's next publication, wouldn't you be?
