10 Questions for Lady Gaga. You just launched the Born This Way Foundation. Is it aimed at preventing bullying? This is not an antibullying foundation. This is a youth-empowerment foundation. This is about combatting meanness and cruelty. Isn't inspiring kindness the same thing as combatting bullying?

Lady Gaga launches Born This Way Foundation at Harvard University to help youth ‘challenge meanness and cruelty’  Born This Way Foundation—Lady Gaga Discusses That and More In 10 Questions with TIME Magazine. What do you wear to change the world? For the launch of her Born This Way Foundation, Lady Gaga wore a long black frock and a tall, black web-like headdress. “This is my youth empowerment hat,” she said as she sat down with TIME Magazine for 10 Questions. Gaga is launching the foundation with her mother Cynthia Germanotta and, among others, Harvard University. Oprah and Deepak Chopra were also on hand at the launch in Cambridge. (Gaga is partnering with Oprah on a future initiative, in a kind of cross-support structure of powerful women.) “My mother always wanted to give back,” says Gaga.

“Now that I am where I am in my career, I suppose I’ve grown up quite a bit, and I thought it wonderful time in my life and my mother’s life to really join forces and dowhat my mother and I do best.” What does the foundation do? But Gaga hasn’t turned to all sweetness and light. MORE: See the full 10 Questions interview with Lady Gaga in TIME Magazine. Americas | Obama inauguration | Text and video: Obama inaugural speech. Barack Obama's inaugural address in full Barack Obama has been sworn in as the 44th US president. Here is his inauguration speech in full. My fellow citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and co-operation he has shown throughout this transition.

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because we, the people, have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbears, and true to our founding documents. So it has been. Serious challenges That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. Nation of 'risk-takers' 'Remaking America' Restoring trust. Barack Obama's Complete 2013 Inauguration Speech. Funny Job Interview Video Comedy. Best job interview. Y'know - interviews with the famous: Mayu Endo, Miss Universe Japan 2000.

CBL: Why do you think you were chosen to be Miss Universe Japan? MAYU: This is something I heard afterwards. That I wasn’t even in the top five until I started speaking. Before the pageant I had 20 days together with the other 20 finalists. The more I spoke to them, the more I saw each girl’s allure. Some girls had the perfect body, some the perfect inside, some the perfect intelligence... It’s not like I became the top out of everybody, but I think its something we built up together. I got a lot of tactics to be Miss Universe Japan during those 20 days, because I learned so much from them.

Dr. MAYU: Oh my goodness! Dr. MAYU: I think an important difference is the idea of healthiness, with the beauty coming from the inside out, not from covering the outside in. Dr. MAYU: It’s really very medical. Dr. CBL: Micro-derma abrasion, how does that work? Dr. CBL: A little like a shampoo vacuum cleaner. Dr. Dr. MAYU: That’s right. CBL: Was the treatment painful when you first tried it? Dr. Dr. Dr. Interviews of Famous People. Y'know - interviews with the famous. Bullying Campaigner: 04/08/2009, Behind the News. Cyberbullying is an issue that's come up in the news again. You probably already know that it's a huge problem for kids and it's also really worrying SARAH LARSEN, REPORTER: This is your space.

You guys are the first ever generation to have grown up with the internet. Its where you socialise, where you learn, where you play. REPORTER: You probably know more about what goes on here than your parents do which is pretty cool in a way but can also be a problem because not everything online is friendly. Cyberbullying is a huge issue for kids; being called names on MSN or Facebook, getting nasty text messages, having rumours spread about you or your private information posted on a website. TOM WOOD, CYBERBULLYING EXPERT: Adults really haven't gotten into this world and they really don't know any better than their kids. Tom is 17 but he's already famous around Australia as an internet expert. Tom dealt with the bullies by not responding and eventually it stopped. Chris O'Dowd And Jessica Mauboy Video Interview On 'The Sapphires' | Videos | Uinterview. Chris O’Dowd and Jessica Mauboy are the starring in Wayne Blairs’ musical comedy drama The Sapphires based on the real story of four aboriginal girls who form a singing group and travel to during the Vietnam War.

“I had no clue about these four aboriginal women in 1968 who were known to perform for the American troops,” Mauboy told Uinterview exclusively. “I wanted to be a part of that and tell that story to Australia.” Irish actor Chris O’Dowd plays the role of Dave Lovelace, the talent scout who discovers the four girls. Though O'Dowd had initially been studying politics and sociology while at University College in Dublin, he soon transferred to London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

He won wide attention for his pereformance in Bridesmaids (2011). A former contestant on Australian Idol in 2006, Mauboy’s first hit single was “Burn” from her album Been Waiting in 2008. Though the cast for Sapphires came together at the last minute, O'Dowd now laughs at the compressed schedule. Tucker Time - Landline - ABC. PIP COURTNEY, PRESENTER: Over the years we've done a few stories on bush tucker, but despite tonnes of good will and thousands of potential native foods to draw on, the industry's never really taken off until now.

It seems celebrity chefs with their high-end restaurants have just cottoned on to the bitter and sour and unique flavours of Australian berries and leaves and they're ordering hundreds of kilograms every week. As Prue Adams reports, it's a South Australian couple with blue ribbon Outback connections that's putting bush foods on the menu. KYLIE KWONG, CELEBRITY CHEF: No, I'm feeling very excited about it now. Of course I'm nervous, as I always am, before a big night, but we've put a lot of hard work into planning this week, we've tested all of the recipes and I know it's just going to be a wonderful night. (Speaks Cantonese). It's about the only Cantonese line I know. PRUE ADAMS, REPORTER: In the foodie world, Kylie Kwong is known for her Asian-influenced cuisine.

Chicken Run - Landline - ABC. ANNE KRUGER, PRESENTER: All the years that Landline has been on air, we've never had an in-depth look at the Australian chicken meat industry. And it's not been for the want of trying, mind you. Poultry producers have taken the view that the best way to answer critics of the way birds are handled is well away from the media, even when the criticism is misinformed and mischievous. But chicken's now overtaken beef as the most popular meat in Australia and consumption is growing. So for the largest in the business, that's finally something to crow about. (Chick emerges from an egg) PRUE ADAMS, REPORTER: Every day in Australia, more than a million chicks follow the journey of this one small mass of wet feathers. (cheeping yellow chicks are carried up a conveyer belt and fall over the edge) Within minutes of life, they'll tumble into a high-tech production pathway that finishes up just seven weeks later as our favourite meal time meat.

Even visiting reporters have to completely shower down. Bush Tucker: 19/06/2012, Behind the News. The top restaurants are always thinking of ways to make their food stand out from the crowd. One celebrity chef has decided to design her menu around traditional bush tucker. And what makes this idea special is that some of the ingredients come to her from a group of school kids. KYLIE KWONG, CELEBRITY CHEF: We've put a lot of hard work into planning this week, we've tested all of the recipes and I know it's just going to be a wonderful night. But that's not because of any high profile guests or famous reviewers. Her special guest and star attraction tonight is ingredients most people have probably ever heard of. KYLIE: Our feast this evening showcases the vivid flavours of organically grown Australian bush foods and wild weeds. In other words, bush tucker. IAN HOWARD, RENMARK HIGH SCHOOL: OK, guys, so I think that the interesting part about this is that we're dealing with a plant that's been looked after by let's say Aboriginal footprints for about 60,000 years.
