The New York Post has a nice interview with Julian McMahon about this season of Nip/Tuck. I don’t know how new it is, but it just popped up in my inbox today.

Here’s a few of my favorite excerpts, but you should read the whole thing. It’s terrific.

HW: Do you feel there is more comedy to the show than there ever has been?

Julian McMahon: This is the funniest it’s been. I always thought it was going to be a funny show. I don’t know what the hell happened, to be honest. I wasn’t a really big fan. There you go. That’s what happens. And now, as far as I’m concerned, we’re where the show we should have been five years ago.

HW: Will Sean’s success with Hearts & Scalpels create a wedge between the two as the season goes on?

JM: They’ve always got their tit for tat stuff. One of them gets something and becomes good at something or becomes successful because of a surgery or a TV show. The other ones always tries to get back. He’s not quite as obvious as I am. It’s always about that competition between the two of them. I think that’s kind of what makes the show interesting, the way that they have these two people that can’t live without each other, but at the same time do stuff behind each other’s back and in front of each other. You just think, “”Oh, my God. How would you ever maintain a relationship with somebody like that?”" That’s the guise.

I love that Julian really gets this show and what it’s all about. I find it interesting that he never really care for it during the first season. I wonder how he feels about the later seasons. Hmmm.

Julian McMahon hosted the World Music Awards this year and it will be airing in the US on Thanksgiving evening, Nov. 22nd, at 8pm (your local time?) on the MyNetworkTV channel. You should check their local stations page to see if you have a local affiliate.

Julian committed some fairly egregious fashion don’ts for his WMAs appearance. So, here’s a picspam!

And here you are thinking “What is she talking about? He looks great here!” Well, yes, he certainly does. Julian’s sporting a nice casual look for the WMA rehearsals.

But then he decides to put on this for the pre-show party!

Dear God, man, what was he thinking!?

It gets worse!

Hi, I’m Julian McMahon and I’m wearing plaid pants, a velvet jacket, a lycra or something shirt, and a PURPLE BANDANA. Why yes, I have lost my fucking mind!

Phewww! Finally, for the show itself he puts on a normal suit. A very suave suit. But that hat? I dunno. In some pics I think it looks cute, but in others — it’s clearly moronic. But damn, that is a nice suit!

Variety has a 20 questions style interview with Julian McMahon online. I laughed over the $44M yacht being his worst purchase because I thought the dollar amount was so over the top, but then I remembered that Julian McMahon is one of Australia’s richest people and the salary he gets from Nip/Tuck is probably just pocket change to him *g*

There’s also a short piece with Julian about the new season of Nip/Tuck at the New York Daily News.

“I’ve always thought of the show as funnier, a not-so- serious kind of show,” McMahon explained. “This season there’s more of a comedy platform.”
