Give me some news about the album that no one else has.
My next single is gonna be produced by Junior Reid and it's called "Medicine Man." I'm gonna go shoot the video in Jamaica. The song is all about legalizing marijuana for medical issues. It really does help these patients with AIDS and cancer. It's gonna be very controversial. The reality is that once the government figures out how to tax marijuana, they'll legalize it.

Can you give me a line from the song?
I haven't written my verses yet.

Okay, give me more exclusive news then.
I'm filming a reality show about people who work at a cannabis café here in California. We haven't found a distributor yet, but it's gonna be crazy. It'll go deep in the life of these people. The working title is Cannabis Club.

Do you smoke weed?
I haven't really decided my political response to that question yet. I know that people will do things based on what I say, so I have to think about how I'm going to approach that question.

If the answer was no, wouldn't you just say no?
Nah, David. Everything I do has levels.

More news, please.
SPIN exclusive: I'm working with a little kid right now named Elijah Harris on a track called "Ain't No Thing but a Chicken Wing." We're gonna do a video where I dance the Chicken Wing with him. You think Soulja Boy's Superman song is big? Wait till people see me doing the Chicken Dance. Everyone between the ages of 10 and 17 is going to love it.

Break some news about the new season of the Hills.
Kristen Cavalleri is the news, my friend. People don't get how wild this girl is getting on camera. Okay, no news. We haven't started filming. There's nothing I can say that won't get me sued.

Why'd you and Heidi quit I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here?
I'm going to watch my words here. I didn't make myself aware enough, nor did my wife, about what the show actually consisted of. We were under the impression that, yeah, we hung out in the jungle during the day or whatever, but were sleeping in hotels during the night. We didn't really realize that for 27 days NBC expected Speidi to sleep on a cot in the middle of a Costa Rican jungle. I've never been camping in my whole life. I'm not even trying to sound like a snob, but "camping" to me is getting stuck with the garden view instead of the ocean view at the Four Seasons.

Seriously?
I was like a real deal loony tune. After the show was over, Heidi and I stayed in Costa Rica for an extra two weeks and I pretty much never left our hotel room because I was just trying to calm down. It was probably like a little, little version of the energy people have coming back from war or coming out of a battlefield. I just felt like there were 380 people against me just surrounding me in the jungle. I mean I'd never been on a 24-hour type reality show. That was really difficult, worrying about being watched every time you were peeing, or showering, or sleeping. On The Hills we shoot a few days a week here and there. It took a couple weeks for that feeling of being watched to go away.

Do you believe that it's necessary for a Jew or a Muslim to accept Jesus Christ as their savior if they want to get to heaven?
That's what it says in the Bible. But it's not on me to tell people what to do. People have to figure that out with God, and choose which God they chose. But Jesus came into my life and is gonna stay in my life. My best friends since Kindergarten are Jewish. I've been to like eighty Bar and Bat Mitzvahs.

How much money are you worth?
That's the problem with me. I spend so much money. But if you're asking how much money I've made?

That's not what I asked. How much are you worth? Assets.
Oh, man. I wouldn't want to go on record with that. It'll make people hate me more. Let's just say with this economy I'm dead broke and very relatable to all of you. Everything I have is rented. Fake it till you make it. That's my thing.
