He was converted at a Billy Graham rally (crusade) and he used to take me to these rallies. And I do very vividly remember that about age 13 watching somebody on stage doing a talk and thinking, ‘I have a very clear feeling that one day I was going to be up on that stage.’ And for about a year, I thought I was maybe going to be a minister. And then as I got older, I thought, ‘I think I just want to be up on that stage. Maybe not in that capacity but in some other capacity.”

After way too many delays, 24’s long-awaited Season 7 arrives January 11 on FOX, but there’s relief coming in the form of 24: Redemption, an exotic two-hour prequel movie that puts Jack Bauer back where we like him: on the clock and under the gun. “With the prequel it’s like we’re saying, ‘Hey, remember us?’’ Kiefer Sutherland tells TV Guide. “You want to make sure the interest is still there. So we thought we’d offer a little taste – an appetizer – before the big feast to come.”

On Monday’s episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Nicole Kidman whipped out a photo of her daughter, Sunday Rose, from her wallet.

On describing the photo: “[My husband Keith Urban] took this, it was on his iPhone and I made him print the photo. That’s my baby, that’s her sleeping.”

On her father coming up with half of Sunday Rose’s unique name when he mentioned Sunday Reed, a patron of the arts: “And we went, ‘Oh, we love that day’—that’s our favorite day because I think there’s something to do with Sundays where if you’re lonely, Sundays are a very lonely day. And if you’re happy and you’ve got your family and the things around you, then Sunday’s a beautiful day. So our baby’s called Sunday.”

On being stunned when she found out she was pregnant: “I call her a miracle baby because it was a miracle that I, at this age, had spent so many years trying to get [pregnant] just thought, ‘Well, it’s not my path—that’s not what I’m going to get to experience.’”

On her other kids, Bella and Connor, adjusting well to the new addition: “They have Suri, so they have got now just another baby sister. But they’re very used to having children around. They’ve had kids around them because they grew up with cousins, Suri and now Sunday Rose.”

Jennifer Aniston is red hot on the December 2008 cover of Vogue.

According to Us Weekly, Aniston asked the reporter, Jonathan Van Meter, to turn off the tape recorder when first asked about her ex-husband’s partner, Angelina Jolie. Here’s what she did say on the record:

On being bothered that Angelina recounted a detailed timeline of how she fell in love with Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith: “There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening. I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss. That stuff about how she couldn’t wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool.

On if she ever speaks to Brad: “[We've exchanged] a few very kind hellos … and congratulations on your babies… [We] had an amicable split … The marriage didn’t work out.”

On her romance with John Mayer: “People need to mind their own business! Did you ever think Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield made sense? Love just shows up.”

On when Mayer bragged about dumping her: “Trust me, you’ll never see that happen again from that man.”

Taylor Swift recently talked to Just Jared about everything from her best friend in the business to the last three ring tones on her cell phone. Here’s a sampling:

Your album Fearless (IN STORES TODAY) consists of mostly songs about guys. Do you prefer writing love songs or break up songs? I really like to write songs about relationships. I like to write about boys and I love to write about every aspect of love. I think that it’s really fascinating to me how many angles there are to a breakup. There are so many different things you can write about one breakup. So right now, that’s my favorite thing to write about. But also when you’re falling in love with someone, when you’ve just gone on the best date ever and you write a song about it. I think capturing that moment in time is really important and really fun. I am just fascinated by the whole relationship thing and that’s my favorite thing to write songs about.
