Tonight's guests are Keira Knightley on the Daily Show and Eleanor Holmes Norton on the Colbert Report.
Keira Knightley is an actress. She is now a singer having recorded several songs for the soundtrack to the movie Begin Again. I really recommend listening to the song Lost Stars, it is beautiful and she has an amazing singing voice!
Gretta (Keira Knightley) and her long-time boyfriend Dave (Adam Levine) are college sweethearts and songwriting partners who decamp for New York when he lands a deal with a major label. But the trappings of his new-found fame soon tempt Dave to stray, and a reeling, lovelorn Gretta is left on her own. Her world takes a turn for the better when Dan (Mark Ruffalo), a disgraced record-label exec, stumbles upon her performing on an East Village stage and is immediately captivated by her raw talent. From this chance encounter emerges an enchanting portrait of a mutually transformative collaboration, set to the soundtrack of a summer in New York City.IMDB.com
It sounds like it should be a nice summer date movie.
Eleanor Holmes Norton represents Washington DC in the House of Representatives. More recently, she killed a self driving car...
Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) was invited Tuesday, along with fellow members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, to test drive — er, test ride — a driverless car on the Capitol grounds.
Well, the ride never happened, because Norton did a particularly good job of testing the car’s bright-red “kill” button — which, as captured by WRC-TV’s cameras, killed the car to the point that it could not proceed with the test ride.
“Oh, no, don’t push it!” an engineer from Carnegie Mellon University cried after Norton pounded the mushroom button. “It shuts everything down.”

I learned never to press a red button by watching The 5th Element.
