What do both Spanx and TV censorship have in common? Actress Viola Davis is a fan of both!

In a funny interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, Davis revealed her feelings for those two very different things.

"I tell people that if I don't have ten minutes to go to the bathroom then I'm just going to have to hold it. Because that's how long it takes to take these Spanx off," Davis joked in the interview.

She went on to say the reason she wears the garments is so she can fit into the sexy clothes of her character on her new series How to Get Away With Murder.

Davis stars in the show as a sexy law professor who, along with her students, find themselves entangled in a murder plot.

This is also why The Help actress is in favor of TV censorship. The star told Kimmel she wears body makeup all over, even on her feet, to make herself look good on screen. Davis also admitted she doesn't like certain parts of her body to be shown, which is why she says TV censorship is another one of her favorites.

We can't wait to see Davis back on the screen!

How to Get Away with Murder will air this Thursday night on ABC.

(September 25): Putrajaya's sedition blitz, which included charging a law lecturer, has created a climate of fear which will lead to self-censorship among academics and students in institutions of higher learning, a forum on academic freedom was told last night.

If the fear continues, it will be an unhealthy development which will further cripple the roles of universities as a place to cultivate critical thinking, debate and feedback, said academics at the forum at Universiti Malaya.

Political economist Professor Dr Edmund Terence Gomez said academics and students should not succumb to the government's ongoing sedition spree by self-censoring their expressions.

"I am concerned with the stifling of academic freedom which will lead to self-censorship and that is not the way to run a university and debate ideas," he said.

Gomez's colleague, law lecturer Associate Professor Dr Azmi Sharom, was recently charged under the Sedition Act for commenting on what had happened in Perak in the 2009 constitutional crisis a move that sent shockwaves through the academia and legal fraternities.

Azmi joined a slew of individuals, including opposition politicians, activists, a lawyer, a journalist as well as two Muslim ulama who have either been charged with sedition, are facing trial or being investigated.

Gomez said there should be concrete action such as creating awareness by shining the international spotlight on the current sedition blitz.

"If we continue to sit back and let it be, then the university is finished. If we keep quiet, we can expect more of this to continue.

"If we mount a campaign, the government will sit up and take notice. We need to take this out to the international domain. Once it goes international, the government will be concerned because no one wants this kind of publicity," he said.

The academician with Malaysia's oldest university said academics and students must be given a free rein to discuss problems because universities have always been recognised as a safe place to debate and discuss ideas.

Leonardo - who was named a United Nations Messenger of Peace last week - wrote: "This seems like the perfect setting to join Instagram and share this view from the UN General Assembly. What a great honor this is. #Climate2014 (sic)"

The 39-year-old star also posted a picture of himself looking dapper in a suit alongside UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who appointed him UN Messenger of Peace last week.

In a caption attached to the image, he wrote: "Today, I have the privilege to speak at the United Nations #Climate2014 Summit where world leaders are expected to announce the bold steps they will take to tackle climate change. Thank you Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. (sic)"

Just two hours after posting his first Instagram picture Leonardo had already amassed more than 12,000 followers, but he was following just four people in return.

The star described himself as an actor and environmentalist in his bio on the social networking site.

Leonardo has amassed 11.1 million Twitter followers since joining the social network in April 2010.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange doesn't let the walls of the Ecuadorian embassy in London stop him from criticizing on the Google exec for allegedly collaborating with the US.

During a New York City launch event for his new book, Wikileaks' Julian Assange spoke via video link to a small crowd. CNET/CBS Interactive

NEW YORK -- The first (and so far only) meeting between Google's executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, and Wikileaks founder Julian Assange turned out to be a bust when it occurred in 2011.

And given what Assange had to say about Schmidt on Wednesday at a Manhattan launch party to promote his new book, "When Google Met WikiLeaks," it's unlikely he'll be able to line up a second tte--tte.

Attending the event live by videoconference from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he's been granted sanctuary, Assange called Google a "privatized NSA." The reference is to the US National Security Agency, whose surveillance practices caused an uproar last year when classified information about them was disclosed by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

Assange went on to claim that the search giant has links to other departments within the US government and US military.

"People who use Google are the product," Assange said, likening the search giant's collection of data for marketing purposes to what some have called the NSA's strategy of collecting as much information as it possibly can. Referring to Android, Google's mobile operating system, Assange said it's "constantly sending your location...streaming back your contacts, emails and everything you search for. It's all collected."

Despite his dislike of Google's business practices, Assange said he and Schmidt are actually "quite similar" to each other.

Schmidt, he said, was quick to grasp difficult concepts, such as how the anonymizing network Tor functions.

Schmidt's job, he said is "difficult" because he has to be "secretary of state" for Google. Assange said it was "sad" that Schmidt had to resort to insults in his interview with ABC News yesterday.
