When a photo of the Pope wearing a trendy, oversized “Puffer” coat hit social media over the weekend… people went a little NUTS. But its turns out, the pic was COMPLETELY FAKE.

Whoopi Goldberg has slammed a local TV station’s decision to fire a White Mississippi news anchor for quoting a famous Snoop Dogg lyric during a news broadcast, saying: 'Fo shizzlee, my nizzle” (Okay, friend).

- Something Whoopi proves each and everyday.

Fans of Robert Downey Jr. are chomping at the bit to get their hands on a unique piece of Hollywood history. A fan of the actor picked up a piece of chewing gum that Downey Jr. spit out on the sidewalk on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and is selling it for $55,000.

- A fan of Dolly Parton’s did this once and managed to get over a million dollars. Of course, in Dolly’s case the gum was “Double Bubble”.
