COLLECTIVE GASP

Scandal is rocking Washington today as The Times of London reports that Beyoncé was lip-syncing "The Star Spangled Banner" at Monday's presidential inauguration. In hindsight, there were clues: apparent to some press seated below the podium, the Marine Corps Band wasn't even playing during the song; Beyoncé removed her earpiece at one point; and the singer posted an Instagram photo the day before from a recording studio, holding sheet music to the song. Shocked? Watch the video again here. Read it at The Daily Beast

JUSTICE

A well-known religious counselor in New York's ultra-Orthodox Jewish community was sentenced to 103 years in prison for sexual abuse. Nechemya Weberman, 54, was convicted of 59 counts of sexual abuse and child endangerment on December 10, including the sexual abuse of a young girl he was counseling for over three years. The female victim, who is now 18, gave an emotional speech during the sentencing, describing herself as a "sad girl" who tried to live a normal life but instead was "forced to perform sickening acts again and again." Weberman maintains his innocence and turned down the offer to speak at Tuesday's sentencing.

BRRRR

Was President Obama thinking of this week's weather forecast when he mentioned climate change at the inauguration? Across the U.S., the coldest temperatures in two years are predicted for the upcoming week. In Langdon, N.D., it felt like -51 degrees Fahrenheit, while frigid temperatures closed schools in the Detroit area and in Ohio. Even some warmer places are expecting cold temperatures, with the New York area forecasted to have temperatures that feel like the single digits. Stay bundled up.

Just Keep Swimming

There are other fish in the sea. The Marine Conservation Society, Britain's biggest marine charity, removed mackerel from its "fish to eat" list on Tuesday, saying that the fish should be eaten only occasionally and be replaced with herring and sardines instead. The society says that mackerel have been overfished after Iceland and the Faroe Islands dramatically increased their quotas. But not everyone agrees with the society. A spokesman for the Scottish Fisherman's Federation said, "The stock is actually still well above the precautionary level, even if Iceland and the Faroes continue to do this. You can ignore the MCS advice this year."
