What kind of parents:
name their children PETAL BLOSSOM RAINBOW, DAISY BOO PAMELA and POPPY HONEY ROSIE?? That would be celebrity chef JAMIE OLIVER and his wife, JOOLS, who just had another baby boy to add to their three girls Wednesday in London. People magazine reports the couple has not officially named the baby, but are calling it "Buddy" until they officially decide on a new name.
Filling a need:
Medicinal marijuana is legal in California. Voters will decide in November whether to legalize its recreational use. What better time to come up with pot-flavored ice cream?
A medical marijuana dispensary in Soquel, CA (which sits on the shores of Monterey Bay) now sells pot-infused ice cream.
Taking a page from the Ben & Jerry's book, the Crème De Cana outlet offers flavors like Banannabis Foster, Straw-Mari Cheesecake and Triple Chocolate Brownie. Owners say more flavors are in the works.
The place just opened and so far, business is brisk.
Cost per half pint: $15.
So how's it working? Dispensary owner JONATHAN KOLODINSKI told the station, "Everybody who's tried it has said they absolutely love it. A lot of people come back for seconds, thirds and fourths."

Looking for a cheap Rolex?
Turns out all the stuff that ANNE HATHAWAY's slimy boyfriend, RAPHAELLO FOLLIERI, gave to the actress with money he scammed (by telling people he represented the Vatican) is up for auction. The NY Daily News says the items up for grabs include a Tiffany clock, a Cartier figurine, and jewelry including multiple Rolex watches, earrings, bracelets and necklaces.
