A Philadelphia dessert shop has unveiled pizza-flavored ice cream.
Little Baby's Ice Cream in the Fishtown neighborhood created the treat as a tribute to their neighbor: a pizza themed museum called Pizza Brain. The new pizza ice cream is crafted from crushed tomatoes, oregano, red pepper, raw garlic, and basil. The shop says the flavor is a huge hit with customers. Some of them have even been asking for ice cream scoops atop an actual pizza slice. (Still)Fashion Emergency:
A women's "hairy chest" swimsuit exists and --Oh My God! My eyes! I can never un-see that! The Hollywood Reportersays latest novelty item that has the internet in a tizzy is a "sexy chest" one-piece swimsuit. It is offered in "light," "tan" and "dark" skin tones and is being sold for $45. (Bartha)

LADY GAGA has teamed up with Starbucks for some cool treats. 25-cents from each of the retail coffee chain's Cups of Kindness will go to the singer's Born This Way Foundation from now through June 19th. Starbucks has already committed to a $250-thousand dollar donation. Gaga picked out four non-dairy iced beverages: New Matcha Lemonade, New Violet Drink, Ombre Pink Drink and Pink Drink. (Marino)
