Actress Angelina Jolie rips world powers on Syria's refugee crisis

Sharply criticizing the U.N. Security Council for being paralyzed by its division over Syria's four-year conflict.

Bruce Jenner Reveals Gender Transition
It's official. After months of speculation, Bruce Jenner has identified himself as a woman.
The former Olympian champion and triathlete told Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview that aired on ABC last night. Revealing it was something very hard for him to say, because he didn't want to disappoint people.
Jenner is finally ready for the next chapter of his life.
"I've got my health, I've got my children, I've got family, and I've got seven grandkids now. I'm actually really excited about the future, about what I could do, to be able to do some real good in the world."
The news wasn't an unexpected admission from the former athlete. Much speculation in the buildup to the two-event assumed that Jenner's transition was the focus of the discussion.
Jenner admitted that the transition has been far from easy. Even admitting there were times where he contemplated suicide, imagining taking a gun to his head.
E Entertainment announced that Jenner will star in a docu-series this summer, chronicling his transition from male to female.
