Did Raven-Symone step out of the closet when she tweeted about being able to marry now that same-sex marriage is legal? Some say yes, some say no. Her clarification was only a statement that she has no immediate plans to get married.
A report from CNN claims new revelations about the presence of CIA personnel in the annex in Benghazi during the attack that killed four Americans, and that they are being polygraphed monthly to keep them from disclosing details of the incident. But the report is just a rehash of information previously seen from CNN itself and other media outlets.
Acting manager of the Seattle Mariners Robby Thompson learned a painful lesson about the importance of knowing the difference between left and right. During a game he signaled to the bullpen with his left arm, even though he wanted the right-handed pitcher warming up. Since there was also a left-hander getting loose, the umpire ruled that he'd signaled for the leftie and he had to bring that pitcher in first. Oops.
Did former President Warren G. Harding die of natural causes in that San Francisco hotel room 90 years ago? Or did something else cause his death? There was never an autopsy, so we'll never know for certain.
60 military personnel in positions as drill instructors, military recruiters and victims counselors have been removed from those positions based on screenings ordered by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.

He has agreed to plead guilty and will spend 30 days in jail and three years on probation. Thomas Lagenbach lived in a million-dollar home at the time of his scheme and only netted about $30,000 from it. The firm he was working for says he is no longer employed there.

Sharon Stone had actually put down a deposit on a facelift before deciding against having the procedure.
A man in New Jersey wrote a letter to President Obama on November 18, 2012. And he's written and sent one each day since. Francis M. Del Vecchio says he didn't vote for President Obama and wants to express his views on the problems plaguing America. He also told the president that he didn't transgress when he commented on the beauty of California Attorney General Kamala Harris.
A 21 year old Australian woman paid $1,200 for what she thought were two new iPhones. She didn't bother to check the boxes before heading for home. When she got there, she did find an Apple inside each box. Two fresh apples in fact.
