Pop-rocker Avril Lavigne talking up (or not talking up) her new album on the British TV show Popworld.

Actor-director Crispin Glover gets his kicks from a classic 1987 appearance on Late Night with David Letterman.

When you search for the electronic components, try to use UTSOURCE, you can find the modules. For example, the types have http://www.utsource.net/sitemap.htm

That Avril interview was brilliant!! I thought the interviewer was hilarious. I laughed out loud. It does show that she has no sense of humor. Questions were great in the Colbert or Ali G style of interviews.

He's dressed as his character in Rubin and Ed, but I've never caught the movie. Anyone know if it's any good?

I saw that Crispin Glover interview the night it aired, and one thing I remember was just how surpassingly odd the hair, flood pants and shoes were circa 1987. None of those things had yet experienced a retro-kitsch revival, and you can actually hear the audience react to his shoes.

The questions to Avril were completely dumb, but she should have sucked it up and gave some sort of effort since they were there to help her promote her album. Still, what else would expect from someone who just set back pop music twenty years with her new single?

I'm not a big fan of Ms. Lavigne, however that interviewer was just moronic. Unless his schtick is bad interviews, I don't know how the producers of his show even let that interview air.

The interviewer was asking sort of silly questions, but Avril didn't even have a sense of humor about them. I could tell he was getting a little put-off from her attitude.

I love Crispin Glover! people need to stop taking him seriously, he is a method actor!

Does anybody agree that Avril Lavigne could be the hottest celebrity on the planet if she really wanted it? Apparently, she could care less.

Avril Lavigne is annoying. I swear she wants to be Britney Spears. That's why she's going around saying all of this crap about her. She's jealous that no one pays any attention to her.

The Avril interview is painful to watch - not because of Avril - that interviewer is terrible.

Liza Thu, Apr 5, 2007 at 11:09 AM EST

How can you blame April for bad attitude? The interviewer sucked! He asked if Venice smelled like eggs, and if she could cry tears of milk. I would have gotten up and left.

haha I have had the biggest crush on Crispin Glover for a long time and everyone always makes fun of me.

A few of the weirdest interviews I've seen lately: Derek Jeter on Regis and Kelly. Regis was pretty much hitting on Jeter the whole time and practically kissed him on the neck. Plus, all interviews on the red carpet suck because they're done by people (like E! correspondents) who have no idea what they're talking about.

Is Avril dumb or just a b**ch? Or both? I say both. What a tool.

Alex Zane, on the other hand, is a super-cutie.

There was an interview Meg Ryan did on the Parkinson show here in the UK a couple of years ago that was just as painful as the Avril one. Popworld is a great little show by the way; the interviewer is Alex Zane.

Just fueling the fires of my hatred for Avril Lavigne. I mean, my god, he could have gotten more response and less snooty, rude eye-rolling if he was talking to the couch she was sitting on! Avril, you suck. Please just stop singing or at least drop this "like, OMG, I'm like so totally punk!" image that makes the tweens think they can dye their hair and shop at Hot Topic and just be the pop princess you really and truely are. @#$*ing poser.

LOL Crispin Glover is brilliant. Could you imagine if anyone ever got him and Andy Kaufman in the same interview room?
