JUST ASK Q&A ARCHIVE - BE YOURSELF (MISCELLANEOUS)

2005
When i was listening to Warren's None Radio appearance, he said he was now a married man. When did he and Donna get married, or was I just hearing things? -- Shelly

no...it's just a state of mind...she's my wife, we're just not married yet...

2005
There is an awful rumor going around that Warren is ill with HIV or "cancer" does anyone know if this is true or not? I hope not! --cucrules

not sick...not even a cold since 2003...i think i have what michael jackson's got...extreme back pain when people stumble upon my porn collection...

2005
I've seen several of the vids but what I'm kind of curious about is why Warren made them in the first place. Was it for an adult film he wanted to be in...personal enjoyment....why? I understand the posing nude for the magazines but the vids are going an extra step that very few have ever taken before. Anyone have any thoughts? ---James

musicandsex.tv...that says it all...one needs content...

2005:
In response to several questions brought up at duranduran.com's message board asking if Warren had become a religious fundamentalist, and why he was no longer talking about sex:

i always talk about sex. i lust after every cute girl & boy i see...in my head only. there is no judgement. live your life exactly as you want; believe in the power of your highest self, the power that unifies us all. this has nothing to do with religion...just think about who organized religion as we know it: man in his ultimate struggle for power, greed... fuck religion. fuck the pope, fuck em all, ban the fuckin bible. Then we can start living life united as humans & as messengers of god's truths. they won't know what's really going on till they die...

i can't believe people think i'm talking about anything fundamentalist, or even slightly religious. buddhism, hinduism, these are closest to pure truths but there's still too much mythology mixed in with it. jesus, buddah, lennon, marley, harrison...these are my homeboys...dr king is my homeboy!!! just talkin' about the message, not the club you think you have to join. i'm now speaking out for god, for god's sake...talk about the most misunderstood word, & it's such a damn good one for wot it is. personally i like the infinite spirit, & it is that power that i must strive daily to stay in touch with & connected to.

ok... bottom line...i know what it feels like to be in the presence of god. i was inundated with the ultimate feelings of compassion, forgiveness, love, eternity & the never dying presence of the moment right now. i feel very deeply...very... i do not see...yet....maybe that is not my gift, but my friends, i really can feel...god is the most real thing that is. it is the spark of all existence. jesus was probably just an incredibly lit up messenger, as buddah. i don't know, but whatever the presence & light, the other orgasm, they were feeling, i know the same entity has come into my shell & has made me do the only thing i can do: share. there is no eternal damnation. you are the only judge of yourself on a spiritual level. we let our laws take care of the physical crimes. your journey to enlightenment is unique. never question your place in life at any given moment. keep the love in your heart, believe you are doing the right things for yourself & the ones you love. watch how beautiful the game of life will become. give up none of your guilty pleasures. things will take care of themselves when you take a deeper look at yourself, love life & all of its lessons. world peace begins within.

I have a question, and I really hope you can help me out. I am wondering if you can clear something up for me. I know that Warren has gotten more spiritual since his illness. I cannot help but notice that during interviews, he no longer discusses sex very much (if at all). He used to talk about it all the time. Does Warren now regard sex as something sinful? If I am wrong about this, can you give me some links to recent interviews where he discusses sex? --- Margo (charlessex)

sex is amazing & beauitiful, so is my restaurant, but i don't talk about food all the time...i'm in love with my fiance, totally, unconditionally...that feels just as good as cuming...sex feels great, but it doesnt feel as good as love...there is no judgement, obey the current laws of society, & live your life however you choose, all roads lead to enlightenment... doubleyousee

How is Warren is doing with all the rainy weather in CA? -- Lady Lily 516

A few leaks, less available outside time for sexy boy (the cat), wrote some cool new music, gave to tsunami relief... wc

2004
Hey Warren, I read your quote in the NY Daily News and it seems like you regret some of your erotic work. If so, why the change of heart? Whatever your choice, I hope you`re at peace with your choices...thanks. -KC

No change of heart, no regrets, just a different life situation (happily engaged to Donna).

2004
Man, Warren, you are FINE! Buff, Hot, a Rocker, and a Daddy! What are your favorite sneakers? I have seen a lot of pics of you in sneakers. What brand? - Stephen

I always liked the Accupuncture brand. Thanks for the compliments.

2003
Warren was on Anna Nicole`s show a few weeks back and wore this KICK ASS shirt that was Pink/Salmon and white. Can you find out who the maker is? Tell Warren I said hi and he looked great in the shirt. I have a bald head too and I thought it just may work for me. Thanks so much! --Marko

Gucci, summer 2002 collection.

2002
Hi Warren, I just bought a Vivienne Westwood Skull Necklace off of eBay, it`s the same one as you wear in your new Come Clean Q&A session. I`ve also seen you wear it in the Electric Barbarella video and other Duran Duran videos. What I would like to know is, where and when did buy yours & is it one of your favourite pieces of VW jewellery? Best regards, Kevin.

I love that necklace, I also have the skull ring. I bought them back in `97 at the Worlds End shop on the Kings Rd. in London.

2002
Warren, I was wondering when you moved to London and lived there for as long as you did, was there any "culture shock" as I`m sure living in England is in many ways different then living in the U.S., the currency, the streets, the way people drive, etc. Was there anything that just blew your mind when you first moved there?

I had spent quite a lot of time in the UK before moving there. The one thing that really was a bit of a shock was, in the pre cable tv days, the lack of tv stations compared to the US. There was some excellent programming, but just not enough stuff for us flickers

2002
What is a typical day like for Warren Cuccurullo? How do you spend your time now that you`re not part of a band?

My typical day now revolves around getting in a good workout, (if it`s a training day) & doing some calls for restaurant biz. Then, for the rest of the day, I either go down to the beach with my girlfriend, or we do some shopping. When evening rolls around, I go down to my restaurant, eat a great meal, talk to some of the customers, then, if my girlfriend has the night off, we usually head into Hollywood & check out some of the clubs. Needless to say, apart from the creative part of the job, being in a band is nowhere near as fun as what I`m doing now.

2002
Does Warren ever ride a bike? I thought to ask due to I think I might have had a close encounter. Well okay sure it was a guy of Warren`s build on a bicycle, bald head that moved in front of the bus I was on. And when the bus driver pulled along side of him to tell him off, I swear it sounded like him and had his nose. Could it be possible? Or does he have a clone that hangs out on Santa Monica Blvd? I thank you for your time, Erica

Clone.

2002
Is Warren having an opening night celebration for Via Veneto, or is it just going to be "we open the doors and hope people show"? --Blusilva

The June 4th date is simply when we will have possesion of the restaurant. Our kitchen staff will be in place, so the existing menu will be prepared by the Via Veneto chefs, but we will be introducing a selection of dishes from our future menu as specials, for the interim. I will definitely be there on Tues. the 4th, but an official opening night party is most likely going to happen after we close escrow. Thank you for your interest.

2002
What three aromas turn you on the most? (Anatomical ones don`t count!) Coffee? Pipe smoke? Garlic?

Good question. I love the smell of baking bread, I love the jasmine smell here in Santa Monica in the early morning, & garlic when it`s being cooked.

2002
Have you ever had a dog or cat? Can you tell us about the pet (non-human variety) that you loved the most? -- Mark

The last pet I had who lived with me was a cat in London named Dougal, who belonged to a neighbor. He adopted me in 1998, & he spent the next 3 years with me, probably as much as 18 hrs per day. We were very, very close, & I miss him a lot!! Ironically, his owner was selling her house at the same time that mine was on the market. So, even if I had remained in London, I still would have lost my great, sweet, little friend. In Rio we have a beautiful white boxer named Cristal, a siamese named Tallulah, & a white persian named Gaya. Sadly, Gaya`s 3 month old baby named Chanel died on Jan. 30th.

2001
Something I wonder about any celebrity, and now ask about Warren: Does he have a "pet" charity? Almost all celebrities do. Perhaps he lost a dear relative to breast cancer, or has a soft spot for underprivileged animals. Many years ago, I made a contribution to the Doris Day Animal Foundation (before it offered memberships to the public). I received a handwritten note of thanks from the lady herself -- something I treasure to this day. Sometimes, a gesture such as this touches an entertainer more than all the record sales and movie tickets imaginable. If we truly admire Warren as a person and an artist, then we should at least consider giving credence to the causes and issues about which he cares. Maybe I`m alone in my curiosity, but I`d like to know, nonetheless. -- M

There are so many worthwhile causes to contribute to, but I feel that anything that deals with children, whether helping to find a cure for some horrible disease that is affecting them, or just gathering the funding to provide for a future they so richly deserve, is something I will always feel willing to offer my support to.

Have you ever had any bad fan experiences?

No! Never!

What did you want to do when you were a young kid?

I wanted to be an astronaut.

On the Big Thing tour, the band had "Big Luggage Thing" laminated luggage tags to identify their bags at the baggage carousel. I`d be interested in purchasing a few if he still has them around. Please let me know. THANK YOU.

They do not exist - don`t have any. Sorry!

2001
I have always wondered if the old photographs on the cover of Duran Duran's Wedding Album were actual family members of the group? From Felicia.

Hi Felicia, those are indeed the actual wedding photos of Nick, John, Simon and Warren's parents.

2001
Can you ask Warren if he can please, please, please recommend a good vegetarian restaraunt in the Los Angeles area? I`d like to go for my birthday this month. Thanks - KASHMIR

Genmai Sushi in Sherman Oaks (off Ventura Blvd) is an excellent Japanese restaurant with the option of vegetarian or traditional dishes

This is my question. Not only is it a question, it is a bet. An ongoing bet at that. And I hope you can settle it!! Since 1998 a friend of mine has cheerfully announced to anyone who asks that Fabien Barthez was the reason that Warren Cuccurullo shaved his head.In case you don't know, Fabien is the goalkeeper for Manchester United. Then one day she gave her explanation. Apparently Warren shaved his head when France beat Brazil in the World Cup in 1998. And apparently Fabien Barthez was the shaven-headed goalkeeper for France at that time. So she summises if it was't for Fabien's excellent goalkeeping skills, Warren wouldn't have shaved his head!I keep on telling her she's talking complete rubbish,indeed, we have twenty quid riding on it. So if you can sort this out, I'd be MUCH OBLIGED. Best wishes and everything :-) Yoss

not quite, i was watching brasil vs denmark or it might have been holland , but anyway brasil was down a goal & this was in the knockout phase,so they had to win or they would be out of the competion. practically the whole team was shaven headed & i said to myself 'if my team wins, off w/ the fucking piece , it's about time i go au natural. midnight on independence day hours after the match, i kept my promise to myself. life than became so much easier, no hair products, hair dryers & the time it took me to get ready was now down to like 5 minutes. one of the best things is , for ex. , on long flights. you get off the plane looking just as good as when you got on. it had nothing to do with fabien & man that guy was wearing some of the worst hairpieces i'd ever seen before he shaved! check out those scars, yikes! looks like some failed attempts at plugs & scalp reduction surgery. oh 2 b a boy!!! over & out!
