1. Was it a fair punishment? The suspension of a star high school volleyball player in Massachusetts for what she says was simply helping a friend by serving as a designated driver has sparked an outcry on social media.
Now, the family of Erin Cox, 17, is considering a lawsuit against the school.
2. Did one mom go a little too far? Professional fitness trainer Maria Kang is being attacked for a photo of her posing in revealing workout clothes with her three sons in hopes of motivating other parents to make time to be healthy.

5. Someone certainly isn’t looking their age. Brad Pitt, soon turning 50, talked to Ann Curry about the milestone birthday and his new acclaimed film, “Twelve Years a Slave.”
"I have no complaints," Pitt said about his upcoming big day. "We'll see when I get a little (closer). I'm busy right now, so I haven't thought about it."
