#5 - Levi Johnston
The father of Sarah Palin's grandchild is writing a tell-all book about the Palin family. His manager says Levi will talk about everybody in the book. The book is called "Deer in Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin's Crosshairs." It's billed as a "coming of age" story. Johnston turns 21 next month.
#4 - Ron Paul
The Texas Congressman is jumping into the race for the White House. Paul is expected to announce soon that he is forming a presidential exploratory committee. Paul was the 1988 Libertarian Party candidate for President. In 2008, he went after the GOP nomination. His son, Republican Rand Paul, was elected to the Senate from Kentucky last year.
#3 - Dog Fighting App
"Dog Wars" is the name of a dog fighting phone application. The makers of the app say the game will raise awareness about animal cruelty. They also say money from the game will be sent to animal rescue groups. But animal rights activists and the LAPD are among those who disagree. Paul Weber is the President of the Los Angeles Police Protective League. He says, "Most of the time both dogs end up dying and it's an extremely gruesome thing to see and I don't think this company should profit from it." Weber and other animal welfare advocates say the game should be pulled from the market.
#2 - Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga is getting religious in her next video called "Judas". The singer will play Mary Magdalene opposite Judas, the infamous betrayer of Jesus. The video's creator says he is a Christian and people who expect blasphemy from Lady Gaga should think again. The video is expected to premiere next week on American Idol.
#1 - Proposal Backfires
Milwaukee Brewers fan Robin got more than she bargained for when she proposed to star player Ryan Braun. She drew up a poster that said "Marry Me, Ryan" and featured her phone number which aired on TV. She ended up getting more than 200 calls and 600 text messages! Braun actually tried to call her after the game but got a message that her voicemail was full. He couldn't even leave her a message!
