On the season finale of Lifetime's new interview show, The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet, Gwyneth Paltrow opened up with the show's host about female sexuality. She talked about the repercussions of young women and girls being overtly sexual and what female sensuality means to her. In the interview, Gwyneth describes female sexuality as an "intensely private thing," and says that if it's outwardly expressed in public it's "fake." She says, "These girls are denying themselves real sexuality by trying to conform to something." Watch the clip now, and check out some of our other favorite quotes from The Conversation here.

"It's such an old adage that the damsel needs to be saved," says Brave codirector Mark Andrews. We agree and are happy that Pixar has released its first female-driven movie with Brave, out today. On a recent trip to Scotland, I got to speak with the stars and makers of the film. Why now? What made Pixar decide to finally have a heroine at the center of its popular animated films? Find out what John Lasseter, the chief creative officer of Pixar, as well as stars like Kelly Macdonald and Kevin McKidd, told me about Merida and the message of Brave.

Merida, the star of Pixar's Brave, is a new kind of Disney princess and the first heroine to star in a Pixar film. She's independent, strong-willed, and completely uninterested in finding a prince charming. When her mother attempts to follow tradition and marry her off, Merida rebels and challenges societal norms. While her strong will brings about challenges, throughout the film Merida sticks to her instincts and does what she needs to do in order to fix her mistakes. We think that makes her pretty brave. On a recent press trip to Scotland, we sat down with the stars behind the movie, like Kelly Macdonald and Kevin McKidd, as well as the director and producers, including John Lasseter, chief creative officer of Pixar. We asked them who is the bravest person they know in real life, and they all gave touching, heartfelt answers. From a Navy SEAL to a wife and mother, find out whom the people behind Brave admire.

As contestant Ryan got ready for his one-on-one date this week on The Bachelorette, the pro trainer did what he does best: talk about himself. All alone in a Croatian hotel, Ryan seemed happy to spend quality time with his favorite person, himself, with nothing to do but wait for the mysterious side table to arrive at his door with a date card. "I keep things fresh and new," Ryan explained. "I look at myself every day when I wake up and say to myself, 'Who do you want to be today?' Most guys do not do that." Perhaps because most guys don't try to be a different person every day? Ryan also added, while packing his blue suede shoes, "I've always been able to do very well in everything I've done." After Emily cut him, perfect Ryan seemed confused, telling her: "Trust yourself. You're making the wrong choice." But before he could make that jumbled statement, he had to prepare for the date. So to say goodbye to Ryan, watch one of his classic narcissistic moments now.

On The Bachelorette this week, Emily Maynard finally showed us something other than her sweet side. Emily and her 10 Romeos traveled to London where they acted out Shakespeare and rode double-decker buses. On a group date, things took a turn for the unrefined when too-perfect dad Doug told Emily that luxury brand consultant Kalon referred to Emily's daughter as "baggage." Emily, with her Southern accent muted by a hoarse voice, proceeded to go "West Virginia hood rat back woods on his ass," telling Kalon to "get the f*ck out." Watch Emily defend her daughter and give Kalon the boot now.
