#5 - Kentucky Derby
The Kentucky Derby is Saturday at Churchhill Downs. It marks the 137th year of the Derby. One horse has already dropped out - Uncle Moe. The horse is still recovering from an infection. The early favorite to win is "Dialed In" with 4 to 1 odds that he could take the trophy.
#4 - Bryan Adams
The singer one-upping Mariah Carey in the odd baby name competition. We told you Carey named her baby boy Morrocan after the decor in her apartment. Adams has named his new baby girl "Mirabella Bunny Adams" after... the Easter Bunny. Adams told People Magazine she arrived like all good Easter Bunnies on Easter Friday.
#3 - Home Alone House
Who can forget the house from the hit 1990 Home Alone. The iconic house is now up for sale outside of Chicago. It's got more than 4,200 square foot with 14 rooms described a "residential masterpiece". For almost half a year, Cynthia Abendshien and her family shared their entire half-acre lot with the Hollywood film crew which re-decorate the whole place.
#2 - George Clooney
The Academy Award-winning actor is celebrating a big birthday Friday. The 2-time 'Sexiest Man Alive' celebrates his 50th birthday. Clooney spent much of this year trying to bring attention to the threat of another genocide in Sudan. He's still working on films too. His next movie 'The Ides of March' is due out in October.
#1 - New Samsung Phone
Samsung taking the smartphone to a new size. The Infuse 4G comes with a massive 4.5 inch screen. The phone is still pretty slim at about a third of an inch thick. Critics say it's not heavy but it's a tight fit in your pocket. The phone goes on sale May 15th.
