1. Last week, actress Sofia Vergara married actor Joe Manganiello, best known for playing a stripper in the “Magic Mike” movies. Which is not the result I was hoping for from a sentence containing the words “Sofia Vergara” and “stripper.”

2. Justin Bieber stormed the British singles charts on Friday with three singles from his new album in the top five, a feat no other artist has managed since John Lennon. So, if Mark David Chapman hadn’t killed him, this probably would have done it.

10. Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said on Sunday that he found facilities at a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan to be “really quite nice” and that people there would rather stay or return home to Syria than come to the United States. Especially once they learned that Carson lived in the U.S.
