title: Reese Witherspoon Talks About Her Arrest

text: She may be proudly "Wild" in her new film but she's still explaining her run-in with the law last year.

Reese Witherspoon opened up about her April 2013 disorderly conduct arrest when she accosted a police officer while he was charging her husband with driving under the influence.

"I think it was a moment where people realized that I wasn't exactly what they thought I was," Witherspoon said at a London press conference for her latest film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"I guess maybe we all like to define people by the way the media presents them, and I think that I showed I have a complexity that people didn't know about. It's part of human nature. I made a mistake. We all make mistakes. The best you can do is say sorry and learn from it, and move on."

She originally apologized for her behavior on "GMA" last year, before pleading no contest to the charge and paying a $213 fine.

title: WHO Warns of Ebola Rise

text: The Ebola epidemic could get dramatically worse, with the rate of infection soaring to 10,000 new cases every week unless drastic measures are taken within the next two months, the World Health Organization said Tuesday.

That staggering figure was approximately 10 times higher than the current rate of infection, but WHO Assistant Director General Dr. Bruce Aylward said that it could easily get that dramatic if steps are not taken now.

"A lot more people will die," Aylward said, if more on-the-ground prevention measures are not put in place in the next 60 days.
