The Tide Pod challenge, The Birdbox challenge and now this: a new challenge unleashed  through social media that targets teens and encourages them to disappear.  The 'challenge' is known as the 48-Hour Challenge and it may be on the verge of becoming the next 'thing' and police want you to know about it.

To try and add to background checks to curb gun violence, there is a new bill being proposed to search social media.

Here we go again. Be on the lookout for a fake coupon supposedly from a big box store. It looks real so beware.

If you noticed that you had to log into Facebook on all of your devices this weekend, it was because of a major attack on the social media network. Here's what it means for you.

It is billed as the best job in the world and I can't argue with that. There is a paid summer internship that is perfect for any dog lover. If I was looking for a perfect job, this would be the one for me!

While the shots were tastefully done, I was surprised to see as much nudity as I did.  It's National Breastfeeding Week and life hasn't been this "nipply" since Janet Jackson during the 2004 Super Bowl.  I was curious to find out what's considered acceptable

Imagine you're Sheryl Crow. Ya know, multi-platinum, award winning, successful singer/songwriter, Sheryl Crow. You're just doing your normal Sheryl Crow-ish things, minding your business.
