Drew Barrymore is "inspired" by obituary notices.
The 'Whip It' star always reads death notices in newspapers because they encourage her to live a "better life" and she feels that all "responsible citizens" have a duty to go beyond the front pages and headlines.
Discussing the 'Drew's News' segment which will feature in her eponymous new talk show, she said: "I'm an obsessive information, news and pop-culture junkie.
"When I aggregate so much information for myself, I find a lot of stories so fascinating beyond that front section of the newspaper or the top headline.
"I think ['Drew's News'] is a mixed bag, which is how I like digesting the information of the world -- human interest, weird, fun facts.
"It feels like a newspaper where, to be a responsible citizen, you have to understand what's happening in the front section but also in sports, metro, arts and sciences, business and even obituaries -- which make me want to go and live a better life because someone else did and it's very inspiring."
