And it's for TWO good causes!!!

Zambia is joining the FUN party of banning trophy hunting, following in Kenya and Botswana's footsteps.

Leopard and lion hunting will be banned in 2013, two of the big five of trophy hunting, (elephants, water buffalo and rhinos are the other three). The government hopes the bans will boost ecotourism.

Hunters argue that game hunting is big business for Zambia and

Lance Armstrong just admitted to doping in a 2 1/2 hour long interview with Oprah Winfrey, and now that his INSANE secret is out of the bag, the anti-doping officials want him under oath!!

On Tuesday, the International Cycling Union expressed that they knew what the cycler said to Winfrey, and wanted him to tell his story to an independent agency.

And while he's already apologized to Livestrong, he's still in big trouble with

And there it is, folks: Lance Armstrong has finally admitted to using doping techniques to win the Tour de France. We're glad he admitted it, but wow, what an awfully shameful way to play a sport. We're disgusted.

He sat down with Oprah yesterday, and we're hearing that he did indeed open up about his use of performance enhancing drugs to turn him into the super athlete we know today. Just turns out he's a fake super athlete.

Apparently he even apologized to the staff at the Livestrong Foundation that left several staff members in tears.

Of course, not wanting to give anything away, this is all Oprah tweeted:

Well, this is one way to make people healthier, we suppose.

Even though we don't really agree with it!

If you're overweight and British, you might be seeing your healthcare benefits cut if you don’t complete a doctor-prescribed exercise regimen.

We hope you aren't offended by us calling drunk drivers, who do something incredibly stupid, stupid. Because they are, plain and simple, and there is NO reason for them to be out on the roads while drunk.

Cabs exist, DDs are lined up for a reason. No excuses.

People can't seem to grasp that, though, and people continue to die needlessly because of it. Well, science wants to stop that by stalling drunk drivers.

We just have to survive 2013 before we get out hands on the new technology made by a company called Qinetiq. It could end drunk driving, once and for all. All sixteen major carmakers and the federal government split the funding for the $10 million project.

How does it work?

Ever since two major victories in 2012, the marijuana legalization campaign will only continue to expand in 2013.

The two victories, legalization in Colorado and Washington, have paved the way for other states to feel confident in passing their own laws.

More states could propose full legalization on ballot measures in 2014 or 2016.

The issue is

Uh oh!

Sounds like one Real Housewives Of Miami couple has found themselves in some trouble with the IRS!

Cuban Barbie Alexia Echevarria and her hubby Herman reportedly owe $94,078.44 in back taxes for 2009… and still have yet to pay the government!

The couple was supposedly made aware of their debt in May and a lien has since been placed on their Miami Beach home!

Could the high-profile duo be facing some tough times???

More money, more problems, we suppose!
