Livestock is a big contributor to global warming, the ex-Beatle says, because of the amount of land and water the meat industry uses. More »

      Beatles Fight to Stop Historic Bootleg

      The Beatles are fighting to stop the release of recordings made at a German club just before they became the world's most famous band, the Miami Herald reports.

The late-night host's video is a rebuttal to girlfriend Sarah Silverman's "I'm F---ing Matt Damon." The latest salvo, with Kimmel and a host of guest stars, including Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt, is called "I'm F---ing Ben Affleck." More »

      Maybe all you need is love, but when that fails, $108 million isn’t bad either.
