Young Prince George shuns high-five, low-five from Canada's Trudeau
Blame it on jet lag or maybe a precocious knowledge that his great-grandmother is Canada's head of state but Britain's 3-year-old Prince George just wasn't going to be charmed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Landing in Canada on Saturday on a weeklong official visit with parents Prince William and Kate Middleton, George, holding his father's hand, ignored Trudeau when he squatted down to the toddler's level to offer a high-five variation, the low-five. Trudeau then switched his palm for a high-five and subsequently offered a handshake, both of which were seemingly rebuffed, creating an awkward moment on the airport tarmac in the western province of British Columbia.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt set the world aflame 12 years ago with their passionate romance. They were everything America could ever yearn for in a Hollywood power couple: wealthy, famous, and so incredibly photogenic. Earlier this week, news of their divorce caught everyone off guard--including Chrissy Teigen. After all, the world-famous family shared much in their years together, namely six children (Maddox Chivan, 15; Pax Thien, 12; Zahara Marley, 11; Shiloh Nouvel, 10; and 8-year-old twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon)--not to mention the international vacations, creative projects, and shared homes.

Ted Cruz calls his decision to back Trump 'agonizing'
Ted Cruz appears uncomfortable defending the man he says he'll vote for in November, Donald Trump. Addressing a policy forum organized by The Texas Tribune, the Texas senator said Saturday it was "agonizing" making the decision to back Trump, whom he once called a "pathological liar" and "serial philanderer." He denied he caved in to pressure from top Republicans nationally and in his home state, saying he would have faced an outcry no matter what. "Any path we took, if I supported Donald, if I didn't support Donald, the criticism was going to be there," Cruz told a packed auditorium.
