How Not To Give An Interview 101


I knew Kris Humphries couldn't spill too much Kardashian tea because of the confidentiality agreement but I was hoping the interview would be more interesting than this. The interview was so painfully awkward that I changed the channel. This is why people under confidentiality agreements shouldn't give interviews, this interview was a lesson in how not to give an interview. On another note, you gotta love the Humphries, Kris and his momma were there to sell a cookbook and they threw in the first post divorce interview for the segment. No one knew who the Humprhies were before this divorce debacle and now they're capitalizing on whatever momentum they're getting from this divorce drama, at least they learned something from his 72-day marriage.


Although I've been going hard in the paint for Kris Humphries, I need him and his people to have a seat. After the interview, he said he was "blindsided" by GMA's questions. Okay. Kris, this is your first post divorce interview, did you really think that people wanted to talk about the basketball career no one knew you had before this Kardashian marriage and your mom's cookbook? No one cares about your mom's cookies and people barely care about your basketball career. You knew what this was because they promoted it as such for the entire half hour before you came on. I think Kris was scared because he knew that Kim had her lawyer on speed dial in case he slipped and said something she didn't like, so he lied and said he was blind sided. These morning shows don't blindside people. They do pre-interviews, they usually clear the questions with the publicists, and they make sure everyone is on the same page, there is no blindsided interviews. Have a seat and don't get up until this confidentiality agreement is lifted.
