INTERVIEW: DAYS' Alison Sweeney (Sami)
"People ask me why I was so committed to losing weight after Megan was born and why I wanted to do it quickly. I felt that I owed it to the contestants, to every person that stood on that scale next to me and given it everything they had all week long to get there. I owed it to them to show them I honored what they did and how brave they are and I wanted to be a part of that."

SHORTLAND STREET rapped for violence...again
Graphic violence has landed Television New Zealand's popular soap opera SHORTLAND STREET in trouble with the Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) again. The latest complaints related to episodes which screened on January 19 and 20 and concerned gang crime. Gang leader Kane had kidnapped Kingi, a police informant, and Tania, a nurse from Shortland Street Hospital.
Multiple scenes of violence were shown, including Kingi punching and kicking the henchmen who had kidnapped them, Tania hitting a henchman over the head with a hammer and Kingi being buried alive. A verbal and written warning preceded both episodes: "The following programme is rated PGR. It contains violence and scenes that may be unsuitable for a younger audience. We recommend the guidance of a parent or other adult."

Census Bureau must get numbers right in 2010
Maybe this time around the U.S. Census Bureau will get the numbers straight. In the past, the decennial routine of counting every American has resulted in a significant undercount among immigrant populations. The Census Bureau has allotted $600 million for multilingual outreach. And if there's any doubt it's needed, just consider what happened in 2000, when 196,000 Floridians were not included in the census.

INTERVIEW: Katy Cavanagh (Julie, CORONATION STREET)
"It's taken me a year but I've been quite lucky because I crept in at the back and pottered around for a bit, finding my feet. I was definitely ready to get my teeth into something. I'm so chuffed with it. I've loved it. It's nice to show a different side to Julie and discover what's behind her slightly manic positivity."
