Muhammad Ali has a beef with Iran.

The boxing legend is calling for the country to release two American hikers that have been held there for nearly two years.

On Tuesday he led a prominent group of US Muslims to appeal for Iran freeing Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, who were taken into custody on the Iran-Iraq border. They are charged with espionage.

What a wonderful gift after such a difficult year!

Laura Ling, who, along with fellow journalist Euna Lee, was held in government captivity in North Korea for five months, has given birth to a daughter with husband Iain Clayton named Li Jefferson Clayton!

Ling reportedly gave her new baby the middle name Jefferson as a tribute to former President Bill (Jefferson) Clinton, who was instrumental in securing her freedom!

Absolutely lovely!

We're so thrilled that everyone is safe and sound! Congratulations to the happy new family!
