In a new Public Service Announcement, celebrities from the world of television, music, movies and more gather with one basic urging of the American people:
Demand a plan to end gun violence.
Just hours after an NRA press conference espoused the addition of patrol officers and guns to every school in the country, stars from Beyonce to Jon Hamm to Aziz Ansari are seemingly sending another message.
Watch them do so now and vote in our poll...
Should we enact major gun control legislation?
Four people were shot and killed on a rural road in Blair County, Pennsylvania, this morning after a shootout with state troopers, according to reports.
A gunman shot three people dead and was later killed by authorities.
The incident started at a farm early Friday near Geeseytown, Pa.
In all, three men and one woman were killed in the shooting.
The Mayan calendar was off the mark today.
December 21, 2012 is here and so are we. What a JOKE. On the plus side, at least after the end of the world doesn't happen today, we can stop reading about it, right?
One wonders why we ever even did.
"There's no real prophecy that says this is the end of the world," said Christopher Powell, a noted Mayan archeologist, told ABC. "Not from the Mayan ruins, anyway."
The Archaeological Institute of America adds, "Whatever the significance of the date is, it is significance we put on it; it's not the significance the Maya put on it."
Some major websites went dark briefly Friday in a "moment of silence" for the victims of last week's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
AOL, Yahoo, The Huffington Post, Digg, and more than 100,000 people and sites have pledged to participate in Causes (dot) com's Web Goes Silent campaign.
People and companies across the Internet were also spreading the word by tweeting their intention to go quiet Friday with the hashtag #momentforSandyHook.
The end of the world isn't the only news story focusing on Mexico today. Alien-like skulls have been found in a 1,000-year old cemetery there, according to reports!
The find initially stunned researchers, however, upon closer inspection they were found to be human skulls warped into strange, alien-like shapes.
It is believed that they were deliberately deformed by a common practice in Central America in the past, whereby children's skulls would be warped as they grew.
Having gone dark online for the past week, the National Rifle Association held a press conference today for the first time since last Friday's Connecticut shooting.
The NRA condemned both the violence and those seeking to use it for political gain, while proposing a solution quite different than many in America have sought.
NRA President David Keene and Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre both spoke this morning on behalf of the organization's four million members.
LaPierre began with condolences to the people of Newtown, Conn., who have "suffered such an incomprehensible loss as a result of this unspeakable crime."
"While some have tried to exploit tragedy for political gain, we have remained respectably silent. Now, we must speak for the safety of our nation's children," he added.
And speak he did. What did the NRA propose? Here's the main takeaway ...
The end of the world is going down today, the Mayans tell us. You've surely heard.
What you probably haven't considered is that predictions of the December 21, 2012 apocalypse were all just a clever ruse ... to divert attention from the real threat.
The ALPACAlypse!
A meme devoted to the llama-like furballs is wreaking cute destruction on 12/21/12.
So sometime today, expect a torrent of alpacas to rain down upon us, bringing fire, brimstone, the end of human civilization and a whole lot of furry silliness.
Seriously, have you seen one of them? See more Alpacalypse images below:

Facebook is testing a service that will charge users $1 to guarantee that messages they send to people they are not friends with arrive in users' inboxes.
Launched in 2011, the oft-ignored "other" folder is where FB routes messages it deems less relevant. The $1 fee would re-route them to the inbox.
Not quite spam, these include messages from people you most likely don't know, based on FB's reading of your connections. Many users ignore this folder.
Now, users will be able to pay $1 to sent messages to non-friends.
