• Being Called 'Washed-Up' Lit a Fire Under Reese Witherspoon to Try New Things

    Everything good that is happening in Reese Witherspoon's life right now is because the actress wasn't afraid to embrace change. If you think back about eight years, she seemed to have it all -- a marriage to Ryan Phillipe, two great kids and a new Oscar to put on the mantle -- and then it all came crashing down around her. Witherspoon quickly understood that in order to survive the crisis in her personal life, she would need to embrace change. While she moved on from her marriage with Phillipe and began building a life with Jim Toth, her career seemed to stall out.
  • NBC Debates Whether to Fire Dr. Nancy Snyderman for Breaking Ebola Quarantine

    Up until recently, Dr. Nancy Snyderman was heralded as one of the top medical staffers employed by NBC. The network sent her to cover the Ebola virus in West Africa because viewers had come to trust her judgment, so it made sense for her to be one of the leaders when it came to educating NBC's audience. When Snyderman and her team returned, she claimed they were going to voluntarily quarantine themselves for 21 days just to be extra careful, said the "Hopewell Valley News." When Snyderman was spotted out grabbing take-out less than a week later in New Jersey, said the "Princeton Packet," the fallout was pretty explosive, and now weeks later the network's honchos are divided over whether or not to fire her for breaking her Ebola quarantine. At first NBC announced that Snyderman and her team would be given a few extra weeks off and return in November. Execs were hoping that a bit of time off would put distance between Snyderman and the scandal that had surrounded her.
