You don't meet 4th graders like this every day!

Zachary Maxwell knew something was wrong with the food being served at the school he attends in New York City.

But what could he do about it? He's only eleven years old!

It turns out he could do plenty!

The incredible young man secretly recorded the food his school was providing his peers and him.

Six months later - the little dude is getting some serious accolades for his short documentary entitled YUCK.

In fact - we hear Zachary has been asked to serve as "adviser to the New York City Department of Education’s Office of School Food".

So cool!

These days - Zachary brings his own lunch to school - which should tell you a little something about what he discovered while filming his exposé documentary.

Check out the amazing trailer for YUCK by watching the video (above) !!!

We bet a lot of people even forget that Colin Farrell has two sons, let alone a son with special needs!

And guess what? He's an EXCELLENT father who is continuously inspired by his little one on a daily basis!

Colin had a son — James — with model Kim Bordenave, and he was born with a rare genetic disorder called Angelman Syndrome! Regardless of how frightening and difficult it can be, Colin focuses on what really comes from having a son at all: an enlightenment of his life that inspires him to be a better man!

Here's what he said:

Public School 244 in Flushing, NY has become the first school in the entire nation to implement an all vegetarian cafeteria, and our only question is what took so long?!?!

The chefs at the school have changed the menu from mystery meat and rubber tasting hot dogs to black beans, tofu and falafel.

So far the kids have been enjoying the heck out of it!

Here's what a school spokesperson said:

Whoopi Goldberg thought that the roles she's played have had no real impact on anyone.

She thought that before this man stood up in the audience during an interview with her, and wanted to tell her his story about how her role on Star Trek helped him learn to socialize as a child… a child with autism!

We've never seen Whoopi so beautifully emotional like this!

This room must be really dusty, because we got something in our eyes! LOLz!

Witness the moment (above)!

Oz: The Great And Powerful has a great and powerful secret weapon- Mariah Carey!

The diva has recorded an AMAZING new song for the fantasy epic! Why? She says:

"Well, I've always just loved Disney, and now especially having two little babies. Like all we do is watch animated movies, even though they're so little they still love them, especially Roc, my little boy."

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to see the magical result of the fam's love for fantasy!

The new mom doesn't just have Dem Babies to thank for the inspiration of this song- she says they've been inspiring her on her new album too! She says:

"As everything evolved and is evolving, they've definitely been an inspiration in a really good way. So I'm excited for my lambs to hear the music and for people who love music to hear a lot of these songs."

She can't be half as excited as we are! If this song is any indication, Monroe and Moroccan might be the greatest muses of all time!

We wish our high school allowed this!

Monument Mountain Regional High School in Massachusetts have bucked the norm - they allow their students some special responsibilities!

Students design their dream curriculum. Once they're finished, and as long as their teachers approve of their plans, they execute their detailed new responsibilities!

Some choose to take on writing the next Great American novel, others learn how to play the piano, but all of the students learn something in the meanwhile.

We think this is a fantastic way for the school to ready their students for the real world where classes and homework do not exist.

Check out the super cool video of this talented kids by watching it (above) !!!

America can say what they want about the stars of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and their reality television personas, but one thing they CANNOT argue is that the family matriarch, Mama June, is NOT looking out for her children!

That's right, although there was some confusion about how much TLC pays the reality stars, we now know that they make in between $15,000 and $20,000 per episode!

But don't worry!

NOT A DIME has been spent, because
