Archaeologists say they've made a discovery at the Mount Vernon estate in Virginia that was the home of George Washington. They found two perfectly preserved bottles filled with--cherries. The bottles are made of dark green glass and were sealed and upright when they were found under a brick floor laid in the 1770s. The discovery is part of a privately-funded 40-million-dollar Mount Vernon restoration project.

Madonna is again being sued by some of her fans after starting one of her concerts two hours late. The complaint was filed by three fans who went to the singer's Washington, D.C. show in December. On top of starting the show two hours late, they say the temperature in the arena was uncomfortably hot and she lip-synced during the show. Lawyers for the fans claim that Madonna's tardiness is "false advertising" while the hot temperatures in the arena is a demonstration of the singer's "arrogant and total disrespect for her fans." They're asking to be paid for damages.

If you don't enjoy packing a big wardrobe when going on a cruise, then you might want to reserve a cabin on the Big Nude Boat. Our friends at FOX 35 tell us the Big Nude Boat sets sail again from Florida in 2025.
