Tom, Katie and Scientology
This week Katie Holmes blind-sided Tom Cruise with divorce papers after five years of marriage, asking for full custody of their daughter Suri. Could Cruise's famous devotion to the Church of Scientology be the cause behind the breakup? ABC's Dan Harris has the details.
Cooper Comes Out
Not too long ago, if a celebrity came out it was a big deal, warranting talk show appearances and magazine covers, but today many gay celebs are choosing a more subdued approach. As ABC's Terry Moran reports, the latest such person is CNN's Anderson Cooper.
Mitch Winehouse
Amy Winehouse was a singer whose raw talent managed to outshine headlines about her personal problems and struggles with addiction, until her untimely death nearly a year ago. ABC's Nick Watt sat down with her father to talk about the daughter he lost.
Poisoned Soldiers
When you sign up for the military you know you're putting your life on the line, but for thousands of marines their wives and children were at risk too ... all because of a toxic secret at a North Carolina marine base. As ABC's Cynthia McFadden reports, a few determined men and one famous environmentalist are fighting to change that.
Governor Chris Christie
Chris Christie is the brazen, tough, and extremely outspoken governor of New Jersey. His hot temper and larger-than-life persona have sparked dozens of headlines, and now he's opening up about Mitt Romney, Bruce Springsteen, and his ongoing struggle with weight. Here's ABC Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper.
NBA Draft Dreams
Most high school and college basketball players don't come close to making it onto NBA rosters, and the one you're about to meet gambled his pro basketball hopes and dreams on a 23-year-old agent. ABC's John Schriffen went along with them for the ride.
Charlie Sheen
He's the self-proclaimed Vatican, warlock assassin. His tiger blood and harem of goddesses were just a few phrases Charlie Sheen introduced us to in 20-11. Now that he's past that epic meltdown, what's he up to? ABC's Amy Robach has more on the remodeled rebel.
Call Me Maybe
Call Me Maybe: it's that hopelessly catchy tune that's sailed to number one on the charts and spawned countless YouTube parodies. How did this song from Carly Rae Jepsen dig its way into the heads of millions? Here's ABC's Sharyn Alfonsi.
