Black, who is revered for his work on "Lethal Weapon" and "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," scored a hit with "Iron Man 3," winning fans and critics over again after a lackluster second entry in the Iron Man series.

A couple of weeks ago, a story went viral about a three-year-old girl with facial scars and an eye patch from a pit bull attack who was kicked out of a KFC restaurant because she was "scaring the customers." Heartbreaking, right? Rage-inducing, no?
Well, it turns out that it's probably all one big fat lie.
A report from a local newspaper in the area claims that the family may have been lying about the whole story; a claim that prompted KFC to launch a closer investigation into the issue.

Lady Gaga has always been known for pushing boundaries and being edgy. But the singer's latest music video even has her wanting all traces of it erased from history.
Gaga's newest single, "Do What U Want," was a controversial one from the moment it came out. Many argued that the lyric, "Do what you want with my body" made some risky implications about sexual consent that could be misconstrued by young audiences, helping to perpetuate rape culture and poor education about consent.

Dr. Oz, meet Dr. Oliver.
Okay, so comedian John Oliver isn't actually a doctor, but he is a pretty smart guy. Smart enough to know that the "miracle" diet pills that Dr. Oz endorses on his show are completely useless, anyway.
Dr. Oz had a rough week when he went in front of a Congressional panel for a hearing about Pure Green Coffee Beans and Oz's endorsement of them on his television show.
