Rocky, Rocky
The Rock was interviewed via satellite from USA to Australia on "Rove Live".
He was asked about his training routine in witch he replied he likes to work out 5-6 times a week for at least an hour. His diet is strict except his motto is "treat yourself and not cheat yourself " referring to his love of pizza doughnuts and hamburgers.
He loves being a Dad ( don't we all) and is not afraid to change the nappy even when it's full of ruddy poo.
When asked about juggling a movie career with a wrestling one he gave the indication that acting was his preferred option and finds it difficult doing movies and wrestling at the same time. Rove asked him about the name The Rock and he said he loved it and Rove joked about winning an Oscar "the winner The Rock". The Rock then joked that during his acceptance speech the music wouldn't cut him off.
Rove asked about his character direction and whether or not he had a say if he wasn't happy would he speak up and he said he did. Rove also mentioned Stone Cold when asking his question and The Rock made no mention to Austin.
That was all I could remember as it was a short interview. He stayed as Dwayne the whole time.

PARTY!!!!!!!
Good golf, good food and drink, good music -- a good time all around. And a good cause to boot.
If anybody knows how to throw a good party, it's former APA hell-raiser Bradshaw. And that's exactly what the big Texan has in mind for his second annual Battle on the Green Charity Golf Classic, coming up on Oct. 18-19 at the Athens Country Club in his hometown of Athens, Texas.
But unlike the classic APA parties seen on World Wrestling Entertainment programming -- the proceeds of which went to the Faarooq and Bradshaw Hard-Livin' Fund -- this is all for a good cause. The Northeast Texas chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation will receive every penny of the money raised by the event.
"I really think we're going to raise ,000 or ,000, maybe more," Bradshaw said. "We have a ton of auction stuff that's really good. (WWE Manager of Community Relations) Sue Aitchison is trying to get Muhammad Ali to sign some boxing gloves for us. The Rock just sent me a really nice picture from Universal Studios. American Airlines donated free tickets to New York, and WWE is going to put them up in a hotel and take them to Madison Square Garden and give them the whole VIP treatment."
About 20 WWE Superstars -- including the Undertaker, Billy & Chuck, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Chavo Guerrero, Bubba Ray, D-Von and Spike Dudley -- will be taking part in the two-day fundraiser. The first night's festivities include a Texas-sized barbecue, complete with J.R.'s BBQ Sauce, a country band and a silent auction. The actual golf outing begins on Saturday morning, and concludes with an awards luncheon.
While his enthusiasm for the party is evident, Bradshaw said he's also looking forward to hitting the links. With a 9 or 10 handicap, Bradshaw says his game is "decent. Not real good, but not bad, either."
While the theme of the weekend will be non-stop fun for all involved, the worthy cause of raising money for Make-A-Wish will never be far from anyone's mind. Last year's event raised between ,000 and ,000, and Bradshaw is confident they'll easily double or maybe triple that figure this time around.
Bradshaw's original concept for a charity golf outing was to raise money for a charity in nearby Tyler, Texas, to help allow disadvantaged children to take part in summer recreation activities. Make-A-Wish got involved later in the process, and last year's event was a dual benefit for both charities.
Make-A-Wish, which has maintained a long and successful relationship with WWE, will be the sole recipient of the monies raised by this year's outing.
"I ran it last year in Tyler on another course and we ended up paying for a lot of things," Bradshaw said. "I wasn't real happy with it. We should have made a lot more money. This year I've got underwriters for everything. The greens fees, the beverage cart, catering -- the band playing Friday night is donating their time for free. Every dollar that comes in will go directly to Make-A-Wish. Not one bit will go to travel, hotels, limos -- nothing."
With his WWE schedule keeping him incredibly busy, Bradshaw said his wife, Cindy, has done about 95 percent of the legwork in organizing the event and enlisting the help of several local businesses and citizens to help out and donate in any way they can. He's also received a tremendous assist from WWE.
"Vince (McMahon) and WWE have just been fantastic," Bradshaw said. "Vince likes Make-A-Wish and he's been amazing in helping make this happen. The whole company has been extremely helpful. For me to do this third-party, by myself, would have been impossible."
In addition, Bradshaw said he's gotten a big hand from The Rock, who has a long history of doing work for Make-A-Wish.
"Rocky has been really fantastic," he said. "He called me on Friday. Make-A-Wish is very dear to him. He sent his phenomenal glossy, matted, framed fight scene of himself and Ralph Moeller (Thorak) from 'The Scorpion King.'"
Bradshaw planned the event around the No Mercy pay-per-view on Oct. 20 in Little Rock, Ark. Rather than ask his fellow Superstars to cut into their much-cherished days at home, much of the talent involved will already be headed to Texarkana, Ark., for a Saturday house show on the 19th.
Having a pay-per-view only one day after the big party might keep things under control, Bradshaw said. Just maybe.
"We have Saturday night for them to sweat it out, and then they can sleep it off Sunday morning," he said, laughing. "Last year the guys had a great time, and aside from raising the money for Make-A-Wish, that's all I care about. I'm kind of responsible for having the guys taken care of really well. I generally know what a good time is, so I hope I'm a good host."
The Make-A-Wish Foundation of North Texas, Northeast Region is located in Tyler and serves children and families in 30 Northeast Texas counties. The mission of the Make-A-Wish Foundation is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.
Bradshaw said the slots to join the Superstars on the golf course are, for the most part, sold out already. The outing will be closed to the public, but anyone interested in contributing to the event can do so by making checks payable to:

The Book Man
Booker T is still dating Sharmall Sullivan, formerly Paisley, a Nitro Girl in WCW, later turned character in WCW and brief stint as announcer in WWE. Sullivan, who was recently released from WWE after being put on the shelf with an injury, was felt to be victim of a wrongful termination as many compared her to a female Rock on the microphone, and easily one of the best in-ring performers as far as females go in the WWE. Apparently many felt Terri should have been cast in Sullivan's position, facing a release, but was not even considered due to her seniority.
