Co-starring: Dakota Johnson, Rita Ora, Luke Grimes and Eloise Mumford.
I got through with a lot of apologies, you have to keep the intensity there, but maintain professionalism. At the end of the day, we’re all human beings and it can be uncomfortable to film things like that, so I just tried to make light of it

We have removed any mention of (the) Miley Cyrus… film across all our media platforms….

Wants all-female Court
Ginsburg tells law students at Georgetown University about the challenges of finding a job in the legal profession as a woman in the early days of her career.
People ask me sometimes when do you think it will be enough? When will there be enough women on the court? And my answer is when there are nine.

The Talk interview
Dame Edna gives her opinion on Hannah Davis’ Sports Illustrated 2015 cover.
It’s not a thing I would do…It’s better she just comes onto the cover wearing nothing at all, don’t you think?
Beatbox, rap

Sony ‘Outstanding Contribution to Photography’ award
The World Photography Organisation announces Erwitt will receive the 2015 Sony World Photography Awards Outstanding Contribution to Photography. As part of the award, an exhibition of his most famous imagery, alongside his lesser known works and spanning his 60 year career, is presented at Somerset House, London. WPO spokesperson:
Elliott is entirely unique and independent in every way. Photography is part of his very fabric, but he also clearly separates what he calls his ‘hobby’, from his client work. To most, there will be no noticeable difference between the two. That is what makes him a master.
DIscusses abortion rights, campaign finance
Ginsburg says that young women may have to fight to preserve abortion rights for the poor in the face of new limits. Speaking to students at Georgetown University Law Center, Ginsburg also expresses her worry about “our system being polluted” by money pouring into election campaigns—including judicial elections. She says she is hard-pressed to explain to foreign audiences why elections in the United States can be so dominated by powerful donors.
I can’t say when, but one day sensible restrictions on campaign finance will be the law of the land. There will never be a time when women of means won’t have a choice. In the worst case scenario, a woman who can afford a plane ticket or a bus ticket will have a choice. Women who won’t have that choice are poor women.
SI swimsuit cover
Davis appears on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition which is unveiled on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
I told my mom there was no way I’d get the cover. I told her ‘They do beaches for covers and I’m on a farm. There’s no way. It’s not possible.
Refuses Cosby impersonation
Comedian Norm MacDonald says Murphy was asked to impersonate Cosby on Saturday Night Live’s 40th anniversary extravaganza.
He knew the laughs would bring the house down, (but) Eddie decides the laughs are not worth it. He will not kick a man when he is down.
The Boy Next Door
In this drama directed by Rob Cohen based on a book by Barbara Curry, Lopez plays Peterson, a recently cheated-on married woman who falls for a younger man who has just moved in next door. When she breaks up with him, he starts to stalk her. Co starring Ryan Guzman, Ian Nelson, John Corbet, Kristin Chenoweth, Lexi Atkins, Hill Harper, Jack Wallace and Adam Hicks.
When I read the script, I liked the character because I felt it was very related. She’s a woman in a long marriage, her husband just cheated on her, and she’s kind of at the lowest point in her life. She’s at that moment and then this guy comes along — the boy next door shows up — and starts making her feel like she is worth something. That she is desirable in some way and reminds her because she’s feeling the total opposite in that moment. And then of course, [she] makes a mistake and crosses the line and it changes their lives forever. But I really did love [how] she’s strong, but she’s vulnerable at the same time.
Attends SOTU
Sulkowicz attends President Obama’s State of The Union speech as Gillibrand’s guest. Gillibrand:
[Sulkowicz is] a woman of great courage who got no justice
Sulkowicz:
Sometimes it takes a federal hand to make the colleges listen. I feel so excited. It’s a dream come true. The piece I am doing is not just based on Columbia. It’s based on all survivors’ experiences at every college, so I hope that when people think of my art piece they don’t think of it as just a Columbia piece. I hope they think of it as something that is meaningful to every person that’s ever been assaulted.
Nungesser:
I am shocked to learn that Sen. Gillibrand is actively supporting Ms. Sulkowicz’s defamation campaign against me by providing her with a public forum in which to broadcast her grave allegation. By doing so, Sen. Gillibrand is participating in a harassment campaign against someone, who, for good reason, has been found innocent by all investigating bodies.
American Sniper
In this drama directed by Clint Eastwood based on a book by Jason Hall, Cooper plays Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in American history. Co-starring:Sienna Miller, Luke Grimes,Kyle Gallner, Ben Reed and Elise Robertson. On getting Eastwood involved:
Now, you don’t really persuade Clint to do anything, he’s either going to do it or he’s not. But I said, ‘Hey, Clint, how you doing?’ ‘Bradley, how are you?’ And he’s like [Cooper speaks in this spot-on impression of Eastwood], ‘Yeah, I’m reading this Chris Kyle thing, 10 or so pages at night in-between shooting, yeah, so I guess Steven [Spielberg]’s not doing it, huh?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, and I have to say I just watched Unforgiven again, and there are a lot of similarities. I love the idea of treating this like a Western, and investigating this guy and his psyche.’ Clint goes, ‘Yeah, yeah, call me on Monday, let me take a look at the script.’ I said, OK, great, Clint, thank you.
What happened on the next call?
He says [in a hoarse whisper], ‘Yeah, let’s make this f*cker.’ And that was it. I was like, ‘OK, Clint.’

Testament of Youth
Harington plays Roland Leighton, Brittain’s fiancé, in this historic drama directed by James Kent. He shares a dream of being a writer with his friends and Vera Brittian. Roland Leighton enlists as war is declared and falls in love with Vera Brittian as he writes her poems and letters.
I studied Testament Of Youth in school and knew a lot about the First World War. I was immediately interested in the script, especially the war poetry. I then met with James Kent and Rosie Alison to read for the part. And Juliette Towhidi did a brilliant job writing the script. She has created an extremely moving and dreamlike piece. Everyone around Vera, including Roland, seems to be a snippet in Vera’s life, almost part of her imagination.
Plays water war
Hemsworth and Fallon play a game of water war on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
We played once before. I believe I won
Think Big video
To promote, You Have A Brain, A Teen’s Guide To T.H.I.N.K. B.I.G., Carson appears in a video outlining the meaning of his philosophy:
K is for knowledge, which is the thing that makes you into a more valuable person. Things don’t mean anything. It’s knowledge that allows you to be able to acquire things, it allows you to be able to move to the place that you want to move to, and to accomplish the things that you want to do. That is really why Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, talked so glowingly about what knowledge can do for a person.
