In the most recent issue of Entertainment Weekly, Martin Short's character in "Jiminy Glick in Lalawood" lists his 13 tips to conducting a super interview.
Some of the Rail's favorites include:
• It's OK to take a cell-phone call during an interview.
• When talking to foreigners, don't act intrigued.
• Never trust a Baldwin.

• Make them aware that just because you ask a question, it doesn't mean you're interested in the answers.
• Force them to make a stand. When I asked Paris Hilton if Eskimo Pies were exploitative, she seemed thrown.
• Accept the fact that Tara Reid's answers will be all silly talk.
• If a guest uses a big word, like "desist," pretend to understand.
