Culper Precision has been offering a Glock pistol, which it named a "Block 19," and is getting slammed for it. The Utah company says it did it to "highlight the pure enjoyment of the shooting sports," but there have been demands it stop selling it. In fact, CNN reports the folks at Lego have demanded it stop producing the gun, and the President of Culper says he's going to comply with their request.

Fact: it's illegal in the US to make a children's toy that looks like a real gun, but not to make a gun that resembles a toy.

Actress GILLIAN ANDERSON has made a decision --she said on Instagram yesterday that she's "not wearing a bra anymore, and I don't care if my breasts reach my belly button."

Married SPICE GIRLS singer EMMA BUNTON and her longtime partner, British singer-turned-chef JADE JONES. Emma announced their marriage on Instagram Tuesday. In case you were wondering, the pair does have music in common --he was part of the British boy band DAMAGE, when they first met in 1999. They also have two children together, so it doesn't come as a surprise.
