I will be interviewing Alex

[Emerald]

Breaking News: For those who aren't already aware, I will be conducting a 10 minute interview with Alex at some stage in the near future. If you head on over to the Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Donate Life page, there is a post there for fan submitted questions (please read the restrictions/disclaimer first) ♥

Oh Em, how lovely for you, and how lovely of him!

Please do let him know how proud we are of him, for his charity and his show.

Oh, my gosh Emerald! Congratulations! He's such a genuine, thoughtful, and compassionate guy. Will you be allowed to post a link to the interview here?

Emerald, congratulations and good luck! As you are one of his most enthusiastic contributors to the charities he endorses, you are very worthy of this opportunity. You'll do good work.
Will you see him in person or on the phone or only with mail? If you see him in person, good luck on not fainting!

[Emerald]

Thanks guys

Alle - Apart from the AOL Fans for DL site and Facebook page I'm not sure where else I can post it, I'll need to double check - although I'm sure I can link to it on here and elsewhere, I can't see any problem with that.

Francis - No, not in person, I believe it's going to be a phone interview. I'm still working out details with his publicist. I literally only found out he'd agreed to do it early yesterday. I've submitted a basic interview outline for their approval, and I also have to submit all the questions I'm planning to ask, which they then have to go through and approve. After that I'm not sure what happens, who phones who, if the interview is going to be recorded or just transcribed. I need to work all that out with his publicist.

I'm kinda hoping seeing as he'll be talking to another Aussie, that we'll get to hear his full Australian accent.

[allegrita]

Me too!

How cool, Emerald!!! Congratulations, and good luck with your interview!

[LadyAilith]

Very cool Emerald! Best of luck for the interview. I'm really thrilled for you.

[r1015bill]

Very cool, Em! What an opportunity.

The only thing I hope is that you ask questions that are different than the ones we usually hear. Since you'll probably focus on Donate Life, that will probably be easy.

I'm looking forward to hearing/reading the result.

Emerald, this is amazing!! Congratulations and I cannot wait to read your account of this interview and what Alex has to say.

[Emerald]

Thanks so much guys

I'm really looking forward to this, and yes the focus will be on Donate Life, Taylor's Gift, & Organ Donor Awareness in general. If I'm allowed I may be able to fit in some of the fan submitted questions I've received, but I definitely want to give priority to questions that are a bit different to the general run of the mill, stuff he's been asked umpteen dozen times before.

I will try to send a shout out to this board, and a few others as well, I I can.

Just posted on the AOL Fans for Donate Life Facebook Page fan questions submission post:

Okay guys, we've got some great questions coming in. You will have another 24 hours, starting from now, to submit any further questions you wish to ask, after which time I will be needing to correlate and present all questions to Alex's publicist for prior approval. Once again, please understand that first priority will be given to questions relating to Taylor's Gift, Donate Life & Organ Donor Awareness in general, and I cannot guarantee that I will be able to ask Alex any of the questions that have been submitted here. It will depend a lot on time constraints, & what is permissible/approved by his publicist once I've submitted the list of questions to them in advance as requested. I will do my best, but please don't be too disappointed if you miss out. ♥

Just have fun with it, Em. This is such a privilege, you have fun, do your duty to DL, and relax and enjoy his "company".

Whatever you get will be delightful and new.

[maggatha3]

Em . And for Alex . I absolutely envy you. I am so looking forward for this, I cannot begin to imagine how you must be feeling.
