The actress told
Reuters on Tuesday:
"I have come to Libya for a variety of reasons, to see a country in transition at every level and to witness efforts to fully realize the promise of the Arab Spring.

True Blood hunk Alex Skarsgard was interviewed by director Jonas Akerlund in the new issue of
OUT Magazine, and the two discuss their love for Sweden, how Americans are obsessed with nudity and yup, the "boning season."
When asked about his hit HBO show, Skarsgard noted that it was "very tame" by Swedish standards, adding, "[it] always strikes me as weird because parents in the States freak out if their kids see a nipple or a butt cheek, but at the same time they're OK with their kids watching people bash each other's heads in with baseball bats. I notice in interviews in the U.S. all people want to talk about is nudity. You have a half-hour interview, and you spend 25 minutes talking about the nude scenes, and of course, if it makes sense as a scene, I'll do it."
So what do Swedes do in the cold winter months? "I think part of the reason why there are so many musicians coming out of Sweden is you're encouraged to play an instrument, or to sing and be creative, from a very early age, and it's free," he said. "It's a combination of a good school system and the long, dark winters. Because that means people sit in their garages and play music for five months because it's too cold and dark to be outside."
Akerlund added, "That's the boning season. And then it's spring, and that's also boning season. And summer's the best boning season." Skarsgard's response? "And that's also why we're so liberal and so cool with our sexuality," he said. "Because we f*** a lot." Good to know!

Anna Kournikova's rock hard abs are ruling the November cover of
Women's Health, and no one's complaining.
Least of all, the former tennis pro's boyfriend of ten years, Enrique Iglesias.
But despite the fact that the two have been dating for a decade, the 30-year-old is in no rush to marry her singing beau.
"[Marriage] isn't important to me. I'm in a happy relationship – that's all that matters," Anna told the mag.
That doesn't mean that she's going to ditch Enrique any time soon. She added,
"I believe in commitment. I believe in being open and trusting each other and respecting each other completely."
As for kids, Anna doesn't even hesitate about being ready for them, married or not.
"I absolutely want to have children, whether I have my own or adopt," the Russian beauty said.
"I love taking care of people."
You hear that, Enrique?

Millionaire Matchmaker's Destin Pfaff and Rachel Federoff have tied the knot ... and they didn't even meet through Patti Stanger!
Not straying for their love of all things gothic, the co-stars and co-workers were married on September 24 in an intimate rocker-and-vintage-themed ceremony at New York's Millesime at The Carlton Hotel.
The black, white and red nuptials may have seemed dark, but it was a day of pure love for the couple, especially since their adorable two-year-old son Sin Halo Jude Pfaff stole the show as both Destin's best man and ring bearer. Keeping everything tight-knit, they had their pal Peter "Rocky" Gheno officiate the ceremony.
Every piece of the wedding fit the theme, from the newylwed's first dance to Reverend Horton Heat's "In Your Wildest Dreams," the Day of the Dead skeletons cake by Cake Alchemy and the white custom-made Atelier Amiee dress that was interlaced with bold black details and purchased at Lilly Bridal.
And don't worry -- Patti was there to witness the whole thing!
Congrats, Destin and Rachel!
