Interviews are part of the job for both celebrities and journalists alike. A lot of times, both parties go in knowing what to expect, what you can talk about, and what you can't.
Some will tell you the mark of a good journalist is one who knows when to push to get that extra detail or two.
It's a slippery slope, however, because if you push too far, you risk blowing the whole interview, a feeling the interviewers in these blown efforts are clearly familiar with.
1.This Good Day Sacramento host peeved Cara Delevingne off by telling her she needs a nap.

6.Dakota Johnson and Melanie Griffith getting into an argument mid-interview on live TV...on the Oscars red carpet nonetheless, over 50 Shades of Grey. What a time.
13.Quentin Tarantino engaged in a heated back and forth with Krishnan Guru-Murthy while promoting Django Unchained where he was clearly unprepared to be challenged about the film's themes.
17.Diane Sawyer came at Britney Spears so hard in this interview — while she was already in tears — about her responsibility to her fans' parents, her breakup with Justin, and more, a true hot mess.
20.Even Oprah Winfrey has gotten it wrong, like when she asked teenage Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen about their weight and clothing sizes amidst rumors about their bodies and relationships with food.
What other times have you seen celebrity interviews go terribly wrong? Who handled it well, and who handled it terribly? Let's hear it in the comments.
