AUDIO: Khloe Kardashian On The Morning Mash Up!

 

Khloe Kardashian stopped by to chat with Nicole about her & Lamar’s move to Dallas, they’re fun trip to Medieval Times, what Mark Cuban is like, how she & Lamar balance their busy schedules, who really is her dad, and the rumors about her asking Kim to be a surrogate.

Khloe said she was a little scared to move to Dallas because she didn’t know how the people would react to the cameras and didn’t want people to hate her or hate Lamar because of her. But she says the people in Dallas are so nice, the food is delicious, and so far she & Lamar are loving it.

Lamar had never been to Medieval Times so Khloe had to take him and her brother Rob came along. They completely got into the spirit wearing the hats and buying wooden swords to wave around during the tournament. Rob had a little mishap with the sword after Medieval Times. Khloe took Rob horseback riding (he had never gone) and he decided that he was going to pretend to be a knight and brought the wooden sword they had bought, along with him. Well, the horse didn’t appreciate that too much and pretty kicked Rob off of him. Don’t worry, Rob was fine.

Just like she was afraid the city of Dallas wouldn’t like her, Khloe was scared to meet Mark Cuban because he’s Lamar’s boss and who knows what he thinks of her and her sisters. She was so relieved when she did meet him though because he was incredible nice and incredible cool. She’s definitely a fan of him.

Khloe makes her relationship with her husband her number one priority and will only travel when he’s on the road. She’s super thankful that because both of her sisters live in LA and their design studio is in LA, they can be really flexible when it comes to scheduling meetings so they always work about Khloe’s schedule.

Khloe is desperate to know who her dad is! Please help her! (JK!) She talked to Nicole about all the ridiculous suggestions that have been thrown around. Khloe says she really doesn’t understand the OJ one because she has super pale skin. She also said that rumors don’t bother her and she’s a very open book. If you ask her something she’ll answer it, but she doesn’t like to address every rumor. Instead of guessing, she’d rather you just ask her straight out. However, she did address the rumors of her having a different father because she was really bothered by the fact that people were saying it was her father’s dying confession. Say all you want about Khloe because she’s here to defend herself if need be. But to say something about her dad who isn’t here to defend himself really got to her.

Khloe heard about the rumors that she had asked her sister to be a surrogate but the rumors she heard said she had asked Kourtney, which confused her because Kourtney is already pregnant. Khloe thinks the idea of your sister carrying your baby is a little weird. Besides, she’s not sure that her petite and tiny little sisters could support the baby of her and Lamar, who are 5’10″ and 6’10″.

AUDIO: Nicolas Cage Talks About His Immortality!

Holy awesomeness The Morning Mash Up got a chance to catch up with the legendary Nicolas Cage!! Of course, they had to talk about all those rumors that he’s a vampire & immortal. They also talked about Bruno Mars’ cameo in Honeymoon in Vegas, Nic doing all these crazy stunts himself, what his movie “Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance” is all about, and where his inspiration for the “sub-par” suits in his movie “Family Man” came from.

Nicolas talks about how he deals with getting up early and how the fact that he’s doing so many things on so little sleep just perpetuates the rumor that he’s a vampire, no matter how much he says he isn’t.

Funny thing, if you google search “nicolas cage is” one of the options that comes up is “immortal.” Nic says that he doesn’t know why that comes up but he does know that sometimes he gets up and does not feel immortal.  In particular, this morning because he was out late the night before celebrating the director of “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance’s” birthday.

Ghost Rider 2: Spirit of Vengeance – Here’s the deal. Johnny Blaze has been on the run for 8 years in Eastern Europe because he doesn’t want to hurt anyone he loves. Then he gets recruited by a monk to find a boy named Danny, who’s the son of Satan, and get him exorcised before Satan can use him to change the fate of the world.

Nic says he tries to do as many stunts as the directors and studio will let him do. What’s especially motivating is that the director of “Ghost Rider”, Mark Neveldine, risks his life to film the movie. Neveldine does stunts himself, like holding on to a moving motorcycle in one hand and holding a camera in the other, just so he can capture a certain shot.

Does he know that one of the newest music sensations, Bruno Mars, was the adorable little kid in his movie “Honeymoon in Vegas” that was impersonating Elvis? He did not, but, Nic says that he’s heard from friends that he would like Bruno Mars’ style of music because there’s a lot of doo wop influence (which Nic loves) so he plans on checking him out.

Rich admits to Nicolas Cage that he kind of wishes “Family Man” ended differently and that Nic’s character chose the single life. Nic could see why Rich thought that (the single life brought him a lot of awesome suits) but that ultimately, the movie has a lot of heart and that he thinks the character chose the right path. But fun fact! The whole scene where Nic’s character flips out about the suits and calls them “sub-par” was inspired by real-life events. Back when Nic was filming “Honeymoon in Vegas” he was looking for hotel suites to throw a party.  But the guy the studio had paired him up with to be his driver/bodyguard/whatever kept looking over the different suites they’d visit and saying they were “sub-par”. (The story is much funnier when you hear Nic tell it)

Last we checked, kissing and making up didn’t mean breaking up! The Jersey Shore’s Ronnie and Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ have come a long way since they’re days of constant arguing. Why the split now, just when we thought the war was over?

Now that everyone knows who they are, these ladies have some big dreams. If it’s up to Deena, we’ll be hearing her voice in animated films. Sammi as a business woman? Time to trade in the bikini for a suit..

Do You Think Artists Still Think About The Person That Inspired Their Song When They Sing It?

Adele was a big winner at the Grammy’s this past weekend, winning 6 Grammy’s. During one of her acceptance speeches she said that the inspiration for this album was something everyone’s been through, a bad (or as she said, “rubbish”) relationship.

Rich was wondering whether or not Adele still thought of this ex whenever she sang these songs.

Nicole says no, they’re just songs and she’s moved on from it. She may have thought about her ex when she first wrote them & performed them but now she’s moved on.

Ryan says it depends on how strong the relationship was. When Katy Perry & Russell Brand were still together, they got into a big fight over how Katy was singing her song “Thinking Of You” because it had been written about her ex, Travie McCoy.

Stan agrees with Nicole. While it was very personal when she first wrote & recorded it, now it’s just another song on her set list.
