Winning the Oscar. Everybody was crying. Speedy, a friend I’ve known since I was Eric Bishop, and all the other guys couldn’t hold back. Because it’s like this: Halle and Denzel are supposed to win the Oscars. Speedy and I were always just a couple of Wet Willies [pranksters] with cops harassing us. You know how our folks are: When one of us wins, we all just want to celebrate.

People cover
Richards appears on the cover of People after losing all of her baby weight. Richards states that losing weight takes time and dedication.
I’m not going to lie and say, ‘The pounds just came off. There’s definitely pressure in Hollywood to be thin, but even if I didn’t have to work, I would still want to lose the weight. Who wants to keep weight on after 18 months of being pregnant in the last two years?
O Magazine interview
Theron discusses why she started an anti-rape campaign in South Africa in an interview with O Magazine.
When someone gave me the facts, they devastated me. I knew rape was a big problem in South Africa, but I had no idea how bad it was. One out of every three women there will be raped in her lifetime. Every 26 seconds, a woman is raped.
WWE.com interview
Christian talks to WWE.com about departing from the company and what he has planned after leaving.
My contract came up on Oct. 31 and we negotiated back and forth a little bit. But it wasn’t about the money for me, really. There were some other things that were going on that helped sway my decision. It wasn’t a contract dispute, if that’s what you want to call it. It was a number of different things — I’ve been on the road with WWE for eight years straight, and it takes a toll on your body when you’re going 250-300 days a year.

Payload ready
The payload of seven science instruments completes its last major preparations for flight.
Although the hard work on the instrument development and testing is over, the work never stops. We’ll only stop worrying once we’ve achieved full mission success, but we’re thrilled that the payload is ready for flight…The New Horizons payload is a remarkably compact, but powerful suite of instruments that will revolutionize our knowledge of Pluto, its large moon Charon and bodies farther out in the Kuiper Belt.
The instruments include:
Alice, an ultraviolet imaging spectrometer that will probe the atmospheric composition and structure of Pluto.
Ralph, a visible and infrared camera that will obtain high-resolution color maps and surface composition maps of the surfaces of Pluto and Charon.
LORRI, or Long Range Reconnaissance Imager, will image Pluto’s surface at football-field sized resolution, resolving features as small approximately 50 yards across.
SWAP, or Solar Wind Around Pluto, will measure charged particles from the solar wind near Pluto to determine whether it has a magnetosphere and how fast its atmosphere is escaping.
PEPSSI, or Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Investigation, will search for neutral atoms that escape the planet’s atmosphere and subsequently become charged by their interaction with the solar wind.
SDC, or Student Dust Counter, will count and measure the masses of dust particles along the spacecraft’s entire trajectory, covering regions of interplanetary space never before sampled.
REX, or Radio Science EXperiment, a circuit board containing sophisticated electronics that has been integrated with the spacecraft’s radio telecommunications system, will study Pluto’s atmospheric structure, surface thermal properties, and make measurements of the mass of Pluto and Charon and KBOs.

O Magazine interview
Turner gives an interview to O Magazine and talks about her thoughts on becoming a Buddhist.
The women who sold drugs to Ike said, What are you doing here, Tina? How can you live with this madness? Then one day, someone told me, Buddhism will save your life. I was willing to try anything. I started to chant. Once, I chanted, went to the studio, and put down a vocal, just like that. Ike was so excited that he gave me a big wad of money and said, Go shopping! I thought, This chanting stuff works. I was hooked. I still believe in the Lord’s Prayer. I find a form of the Lord’s Prayer in Buddhism.

O Magazine interview
Amanpour discusses covering the Bosnian War in an interview for O Magazine.
I consider Bosnia the most important work I’ve ever done. All during the war, CNN was there every day, and we weren’t only covering car and suicide bombs; we did human interest stories. That made a difference. I’m absolutely convinced that had we not been there—not just CNN but every news organization there—perhaps the West might not have intervened.
