(CNN) – Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has decided not to pursue a bid for the 2012 GOP nomination for president.

“I can be on the right path without being a candidate,” Palin said in on the Mark Levin radio show in an interview Wednesday.

In a written statement, the 2008 Republican nominee for vice president said “After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States. As always, my family comes first and obviously Todd and I put great consideration into family life before making this decision. When we serve, we devote ourselves to God, family and country. My decision maintains this order.

Interview: We want to start this interview off by talking about a few songs and videos you have out right now that we’d like for you break down for us. “Day Dream”, the remake of a Lupe Fiasco song/video has a strong message regarding Domestic Violence. Tell us about that.

K. Starks: This is one of my many talents and that’s painting pictures. I lost a friend to domestic violence. His baby momma said enough is enough and stabbed him in the chest with an ice pick one summer in the hood. That situation inspired me to make that song.

Interview: Wow. Do you think hip-hop artists can play a bigger role in putting an end to Domestic Violence?

K. Starks: I don’t know if they can put am end to it but it will help if they brought more awareness to the situation. As hip-hop artists, we can at least try to help people that are being abused to go and seek help.

When people think of Flea, the first thing that comes to mind isn’t usually movies, but in the late 1980s and early 1990s the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist actually had some memorable roles in some pretty amazing films. He was also in The Chase. “I always thought I was a pretty terrible actor,” Flea tells Rolling Stone. “Recently something clicked and I kind of figured out how to be a good actor, but since then I haven’t acted in anything. But I just lucked into this weird, little obscure cameoesque film career. I just love being a part of film history.”

Here, Flea looks back on his movie roles in his own words.

The Big Lebowski (1998) – Nihilist #2, Kieffer
The preeminent thing in my mind is just working with the Coen Brothers and seeing how those guys work and make movies. They would finish each others’ ideas and sentences. They were really a two-headed creative monster. For me, they’re just these two stoner brothers who have all these inside jokes.

I am a little surprised that it’s had this continued cult success. The Coen Brothers really have this ability to capture the culture of what they’re doing at the time, and the stoner culture is really a profound one. It’s a universal language. Stoners from all over the world can get together. They can’t even speak the same language, but they can smoke weed and watch The Big Lebowski. It’s like being able to share that you like the Blues or something.  Read more »
