Starbucks Debuts $1 Reusable Cups Starbucks is selling $1 reusable cups at company-owned stores across the United States and Canada today in an attempt to limit trash from disposable cups.

Kim Jong-Un a New Dad? Reports are swirling online that Kim Jong-Un may be a new daddy. The rumor mill started when North Korea's Central News Agency released photos taken on Oct. 29 of North Korea's first lady, Ri Sul-Ju, at a musical performance. She had a bow over her stomach that appeared to be hiding a slight bump, raising the question: Did she gain weight or is she pregnant? She then appeared Dec. 17 at a memorial ceremony for Kim's late father, Kim Jong-Il, who died of a heart attack on 2011. She wore a traditional wide, black funeral outfit and her face looked slightly swollen. But on New Year's Day, the first lady was back to her usual form-fitting clothing with a visibly slimmer figure. Did she give birth, did she just lose weight or was it just the clothes? There's no official word on the rumors yet from North Korea.

Gérard Depardieu Offered Russian Citizenship President Vladimir Putin has offered Gérard Depardieu Russian citizenship after the actor publicly vowed to give up his French citizenship because of high taxes on the rich. France's Socialist President Francois Hollande wants to impose a 75 percent tax on income of more than 1 million euros whereas Russia has a flat income tax rate of 13 percent. Depardieu reportedly applied for citizenship after Putin said publicly that he would be allowed in the country. No word yet if the "Life of Pi" actor will take the offer.

Infant Grabs Doctor's Hand in the Womb A Phoenix-area father snapped a photo of his daughter, Nevaeh Atkins, gripping Dr. Allan Sawyer's hand even before emerging from her mother's womb. The photo was taken Oct. 9, but the Atkinses kept it under wraps so they could enlarge it and give it to Sawyer as a gift. The photo then went viral after the mother, Alicia Atkins, posted it to her photography company's Facebook page. The parents are putting a copy of the photo in Nevaeh's room, "so that she'll always know how special it was," Alicia Atkins told ABCNews.com.
