Wal-Mart sure had an impressive guest list for its shareholders meeting!
Tom Cruise was on hand at the corporation's annual meeting in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and he was introduced to the large crowd by Hugh Jackman after a performance by Jennifer Hudson!
The Mission Impossible actor gave a speech about some of the positive impact the retail chain has made, including providing healthy food at lower prices and helping end hunger in America:
Johnny Depp has been one of the West Memphis Three's most passionate supporters.
Throughout their time spent in jail and beyond, Johnny has lent his SEKSI platform to raise awareness on their story — one that many believe to be a great example of a flawed justice system.
But despite the horrors Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley faced during their 18 years behind bars, they're able to enjoy their freedom.
And Damien credits Johnny in some of that, saying:
An Arkansas professional clown was arrested for child porn on Thursday while off duty.
47-year-old Thomas Harold Morgan performed as "Sondance the Clown" in front of children for years, but had a different relationship with them when he was in the privacy of his own home.
Police found "a lot of images" on his computer after online investigators detected his disgusting activities on the internet. There was so much evidence discovered at his residence that authorities said, "it would take them at least two or three weeks to go through all of it."
Yuck!
We knew there was a reason why we never liked clowns. It could have been the creepy make-up or maybe the fact that we watched the movie IT when we were entirely too young. Either way, we'll only be hiring magicians to perform at childrens' birthday parties from now on.
A lovely Arkansas women who had taken it upon herself to feed a colony of 15 feral cats was devastated when she found seven of them dead from gunshot wounds!!

The We Can’t Stop singer interviewed with Rolling Stone magazine for their July 4th issue, and revealed her fairly liberal thoughts on drugs and alcohol.
Given her stoner reputation, we’re not totally surprised. Though, when asked to clarify her penchant for weed, she said:
"You can't ask someone that and expect them to say yes... I did a song with Snoop Dogg called 'Ashtrays and Heartbreaks,' so people can put it together for themselves."
That sounds fairly straightforward to us. Mileybird then went ahead to state that she thinks there are things much, much worse than a little bit of the green stuff:
"I think alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana -- people can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care... I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed."
She added:
"As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things. And it's legal in the state of California. So I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."
Well, Miley, marijuana isn’t exactly legal in California unless you have a prescription, so we’re not entirely sure what you mean. But, okay...
As for her transition from Disney teen idol to mature pop star, she said:
