All hail the queen! Beyoncé takes the prime spot as the cover girl on Time magazine's annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. And she's far from the only entertainer on the list. Also making the cut were actors Amy Adams, Benedict Cumberbatch, Matthew McConaughey, Robert Redford, Kerry Washington and Robin Wright, along with musicians Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams and Carrie Underwood. But it's Beyoncé who gets top billing, having proven she can do it all - juggling motherhood with activism while, oh yes, reinventing how music is made, sold and performed.

Yankees pitcher Bartolo Colon received injections of stem cells from his own fat and bone marrow to treat an injured shoulder and elbow, his doctor recently revealed.

It's enough to suggest that the bitter religious, ethical, and political battles over stem cells that began in 1998 were pointless.
