Dwayne Johnson's unique relationship with his ex-wife... and current manager

Dwayne Johnson, or The Rock, is interviewed on "Piers Morgan Tonight" this evening, and discusses wrestling, acting and more. But he also gets personal – while revealing his unique relationship with his ex-wife (and current manager). Johnson tells Piers Morgan: "When we realized that we weren't meeting the expectation of marriage and things were falling apart...I was very fortunate I had her who had the wherewithal to say, 'we're going to go through this and its terrible but there's somewhere on the other side of this that we're going to become better.'"

"It's so incredibly loving and seamless what we have, and the best part about it is the example we're setting for our little girl," said Johnson, who wouldn't reveal the name of his new girlfriend. Watch the full interview tonight 9pmET/PT.

The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) talks Wrestlemania, Twitter... and meeting Snooki

Piers Morgan talked to Dwayne Johnson, or The Rock as WWE fans know him, in an interview that airs tonight at 9pmET/PT. We caught up with Johnson after the sit-down for a Green Room Q&A. As for his return to the WWE and hosting Wrestlemania on Sunday: "I think it's going to be electric...for me as an actor, to be able to host, live, 75,000 people, dream come true." And is this a hint for things to come? "I get to kick ass, literally," he said.

Johnson recently joined Twitter, which he says he was "reluctant to engage in" before learning more about it. But now: "I love the interaction. Sometimes I'll sit down for two hours and just answer questions." So what does he think of fellow Wrestlemania participant Snooki of "Jersey Shore" (and Piers Morgan)? FULL POST

Rod Stewart on his hard-partying past: trashing hotel rooms, dangling keys

Rod Stewart will be Piers Morgan's guest on "Piers Morgan Tonight" this evening, and the duo talked about life, love and Stewart's new baby.

But Stewart also took a trip down memory lane, and relayed several stories from the road. It included drinking and drugs, of course, but that was the beginning. "We would dangle our Holiday Inn key in front of the girls," said Stewart. "And they'd all be back at the hotel." And then there was the trashing of the hotel rooms after. And which group name did Stewart start checking in under after hotels started catching on? Check out the clip above.

Martha Stewart spends just five minutes a day on Twitter

Martha Stewart was a guest on her "PIers Morgan Tonight"'s live interactive Twitter show. She told Piers Morgan she spends just five minutes a day tweeting – as opposed to Piers, who said he spends just five minutes not tweeting.

"I find that is a sufficient amount of time to get across the messaging I'd like," said Stewart. "After awhile you'll get used to it and you're going to figure out what it is good for, and it is good for a lot of things."
