Looking to get divorced on the cheap? Have we got a deal for you.

On Monday’s visit to HuffPost Live, Thirty Seconds to Mars’ Jared Leto took a moment to respond to HuffPost Entertainment Editor Kia Makarechi’s previous article about the band. In his article, which focused on an interview Leto and Makarechi conducted in May, Makarechi noted that there was a distinction between the art world that Leto appears to live in and the music that his band makes.

This might not be a video of the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5c. It might not show that Apple’s next flagship will look nearly identical to the iPhone 5.

The Air Force warned personnel over the weekend to steer clear of a specific flavor of Chobani Greek yogurt that includes hemp seeds.
Hemp contains trace amounts of THC, the psychoactive ingredient also found in marijuana, classified alongside heroin and LSD as a Schedule I drug under federal law. The Air Force, as part of its anti-drug policy, added hemp seed oil products and hemp seed to a list of forbidden substances in 1999, over concerns that they could confuse the results of drug tests regularly given to service members.
Chobani’s Blueberry Power Flip is the latest victim of that prohibition. The Air Force made clear that yogurt flavors without hemp were still fine to eat.

Facebook’s photo albums are getting more social.
Facebook is rolling out Shared Photo Albums, a new feature that allows your friends to contribute to your Facebook albums. According to Mashable, up to 50 people can contribute to one photo album if the creator chooses, and each person can contribute up to 200 photos. Until now, each photo album could only be edited and added to by its creator.
“Hundreds of millions of photos are uploaded onto Facebook each day, and today, we’re making it even easier for friends to share photos with the rollout of Shared Photo Albums,” a representative from Facebook told The Huffington Post. “Whether you’re at a wedding, birthday party, or fresh off of a trip, all your friends will be able to add photos, tag photos and edit just one album.”
