One month after the death of son Sage, Sylvester Stallone has another tragedy to contend with. The actor's half-sister, Toni Ann Filiti, has been battling Stage 4 lung cancer as well as liver cancer, and took a turn for the worse a few weeks ago.

D.L. Hughley, former Chik-fil-a lover, wrote a disappointed letter to the establishment:
You say that gay marriage is a sin, like in Leviticus 19:22. But a preceding verse, Leviticus 17:14, says, "You must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off." You don't cook your chicken in a kosher way. On what grounds are you picking and choosing which edicts to follow?
