High-end school yearbooks
Los Angeles private schools are hiring celebrity photographers to take student yearbook photos.

A Tennessee judge ordered that a baby’s name be changed from “Messiah” to “Martin” because Messiah is “a title that has only been earned by one person, Jesus Christ.” During a custody-support fight, Judge Lu Ann Ballew mandated the name change, saying that the name Messiah would “put him at odds with a lot of people.”
