Someone was clearly listening to Melissa Etheridge!

New Hampshire finally agreed on a bill that would legalize medical marijuana, making them the last state in New England to do so.

Governor Maggie Hassan made a statement, saying:

After being hospitalized due to a serious lung infection, Nelson Mandela is reportedly showing positive signs of recovering!

The 94 year-old has spent the last five days at the Mediclinic heart hospital in Pretoria where he was in serious but stable condition, but current South African president Jacob Zuma says things are finally looking up!

Melissa Etheridge has always been very vocal about her support for legalizing marijuana, and she’s at it again.

The breast cancer survivor penned an open letter after reading a report from the ACLU called The War on Marijuana in Black and White: Billions of Dollars Wasted on Racially Biased Arrests.

The report documents the lopsided numbers among different races in drug-related arrests.

The singer sums up what she took away from the report in her lengthy letter, which states:

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie went ahead and got some weight loss surgery, and everyone has been wondering what made him finally take the plunge. He's been in the news for his weight for quite some time, but was there a certain catalyst??

Well he's opening up about it all now, despite saying it was nobody's bidnazz!

It turns out, he couldn't fit into his clothes — here's what he had to say:

Cut it out, Dennis Rodman!

How many times do we have to say this? He has NO BUSINESS in foreign affairs, especially with one of the most volatile nations on the planet!

We already told you guys that Dennis plans on going back to North Korea on August 1 to reopen the political dialogue with Kim Jong-Un. Why? Because he feels like the President of the United States "can't do sh*t" when it comes to finding peace with North Korea.

Yesterday, reports surfaced that Chris Christie had gastric band surgery, and because everyone and their mom is curious about why the New Jersey governor decided to have the operation, he wants everyone to know that it's none of your dang business!

However, instead of just really blowing everyone off and not giving up any info, he did express that if he was asked about it, he wasn't gonna lie.

While many think that the reason Christie went through with the surgery was for a career move, the 50-year-old politician expressed that he had the procedure because "It is a long-term health issue."

He added:

"I got confronted with your own mortality as I started to age. This is about my kids, Mary Pat and me.”

Since obesity is the No. 2 cause of preventable death in the United States, we can see why the governor wanted to do something about his health, and after dropping 40 pounds, he's well on his way to a brand new person!!

Want more deets??? Ch-ch-check out the clip (above)!

Now we'll REALLY see the power Dennis Rodman has over North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un!!

We're going to go ahead and guess "none, really" as the official answer. Mainly because he's just a FORMER BASKETBALL PLAYER and not a real diplomat or ambassador!

That's not stopping Dennis, however, from attempting to get North Korea to release a jailed U.S. citizen.
