The Got Your Six campaign is aimed at improving the image of America’s military veterans and helping them successfully reintegrate into civilian life.

A really, really worthy cause.

It's no wonder it's starting to take off — and more and more celebs are joining Michelle Obama's campaign to help those vets!

Alec Baldwin must love his cell phone more than his life.

First he got booted from a plane because he refused to stop playing Words With Friends during take off and now

Have U been watching all the Linsanity unfold this year as Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin continues to rise as a top competitor in the NBA?

Well, now you can taste it too! If you live near Harvard, at least.

Ben & Jerry's has honored the player with his own flavor of frozen yogort called Taste The Lin-Sanity! The Vermont-based company has only released the new concoction at its at Harvard Square location because Jeremy is a graduate of the prestigious university.

According to a spokesperson, the limited time promotion will run through the school's basketball season and also raise money for a to-be-determined Cambridge nonprofit.

It's a pretty big deal to have your own ice cream flavor and should be taken as a sign that Jeremy has truly made it. Other celebs who have influenced the ice cream makers to create a unique flavor include Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and Alec Baldwin's Schweddy Balls character on Saturday Night Live.

The frozen yogurt, which blends vanilla with lychee honey swirls and a fresh waffle cookie on the side, caused some controversy too.

Originally, the company included pieces of fortune cookie in the their new flavor, which we can only assume was a nod to Lin's Asian heritage. Some people took offense to the cookie's inclusion, as Ben & Jerry's general manager for Boston and Cambridge explained:

"There seemed to be a bit of an initial backlash about it, but we obviously weren't looking to offend anybody and the majority of the feedback about it has been positive."

Everyone in the Harvard area can now relax and Taste The Lin-Sanity without feeling like they are supporting any damaging stereotypes because the flavor is now fortune cookie free!

As for the rest of us around the country, we'll just have to settle for tasting the company's new Greek frozen yogurt instead.

LOLz!

While hosting Saturday's NFL Honors on NBC, Alec Baldwin did his best "Tebow" during his opening monologue. However, his form was just a little bit off and he needed some help from Tim Tebow himself.

Check out the video above to see what we're talking about, but Alec wasn't the only Hollywood celeb to call out to the breakout NFL star.

Before announcing the "Offensive Rookie of the Year", Katy Perry looked at the Denver Broncos quarterback sitting in the front row and said, "Hi Tim, my parents say hi."

Katy's parents are both pastors and now that she's single, we think they would LOVE for her to date a guy like Tebow. Ha!

We're not sure if he could handle Katy's wild side, but considering her marriage with bad boy Russell Brand didn't work out, maybe Tebow is exactly the kind of guy Katy needs!

Wow. First Paula Deen, now him. Crazy!

Last night at the Screen Actor's Guild Awards, Alec Baldwin revealed that last May, he was diagnosed by doctors as being "pre-diabetic." As you might've guessed, this is a condition in which Alec is "boderline" afflicted with type 2 diabetes, with impaired glucose levels close, but not fully at the level of a full diabetic.

Alec confessed that he has subsequently changed his eating habits and has lost more than 30lbs since he made these diet changes. If he keeps this up, he's actively combatting developing full-blown type 2 diabetes.

We're sad to hear that his condition has come to this, but we're glad to hear he is doing all he can on his end to keep himself as healthy as possible.

Nice work!

Alec Baldwin may not be in The Shadow shape anymore, but he's getting closer and closer. The 30 Rock star has reportedly dropped 30 pounds in the last 4 months.

On top of adopting a new exercise regimen, he told sources, "I gave up sugar. I lost 30 pounds in four months. It's amazing."

Hear that people? Giving up or at least LIMITING your sugar intake is key! Alec continued to explain his incredible weight loss success story, saying:

"(I do) Pilates, spin, not as much yoga as I'd like. When we're shooting it's tough… When we're shooting and I can't work out, I just have to eat less. So, I'm very conscious of that. But sugar was the real killer for me - that was the problem."

What influenced his desire to drop down in weight last fall? There's a very good chance his gorgeous yoga instructor girlfriend, Hilaria Thomas, had something to do with it!

After all, you can't date a fitness professional and not share their passion for living a healthy lifestyle!

We're glad to see Alec found a beau who is making him happy AND healthy!

Christopher Reeve's charity is still going strong, and there is more than enough evidence with how many people came out to support it's gala event — including a long list of celebs!

It was even hosted by Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin!!

Matthew and Alexandra, Christopher's kids, were there as the family representatives giving support — as Christopher passed away in 2004, and his wife Dana in 2006 (because of lung cancer).

The charity looks to find treatments and cures for paralysis caused by spinal cord injury — something Christopher had to deal with for almost 10 years.

It's such a good cause, and we're glad to see that it's still very important to people even after these past few years!
