Usually you see celebrities posing together on the red carpet or on a movie poster, but have you heard about this? Two action stars side by side in hospital beds. Arnold Schwarzenegger woke up from rotator cuff surgery this week, to find friend and co-star Sylvester Stallone was next in line for the operating room. According to Schwarzenegger’s rep, when Stallone heard Arnold was at the same hospital, he asked to be wheeled into the recovery room. They were both undergoing surgery for stunt-related injuries. The publicist says this was a complete coincidence and they say some actors don’t perform their own stunts.

Well, she’s still just an infant, but Jay-Z and Beyonce’s baby Blue Ivy is already a star. Never mind the fact that the general public has yet to see what she looks like. Mom and dad want the name Blue Ivy trademarked. The reason, according to the Washington Post, is because the star couple hopes to prevent companies from using the name. Instead they plan to roll out their own line of strollers, diaper bags, and baby cosmetics. That’s right - baby cosmetics.
Moving on, it’s become quite the trend for celebrities to adopt children and one celebrity is going above and beyond. Singer Ne-Yo’s “baby mama” has agreed to adopt 48 children in Africa. To clarify—Monyetta Shaw is not actually bringing them to the US, she is paying for their living costs for an entire year. TMZ says the cost for Shaw to pay for the children’s food, education, and clothes will cost a total of almost $20,000.
It is award season and these days there's an award for everything. In an effort to remove rats from the subways the New York City Transit Workers Union has crowned the "ugliest rat." The union held a photo contest, urging subway riders to snap a pic when they see one of the varmints. The winner scored free rides for a month and the union hopes this ongoing contest will garner enough attention to help clean up the subways. By the way--it's estimated that the rat population in NYC is one per resident. That's nearly eight 8 million rats.
