There are two sets of newborn twins that will be celebrating birthdays in separate years. Health officials in New Jersey say parents came to Virtua Voorhees Hospital and had one baby born at 11:48 p.m. on New Year's Eve while the second baby was born at 12:28 a.m. on New Year's Day. The same thing happened in Connecticut at Yale New Haven Hospital. Those twins were only born three minutes apart but one arrived in 2023 and the other in 2024.

The party is over for a Minnesota man who spent years building a record-setting collection of items related to the rock group KISS. He is selling it off due to financial problems. Vern Simon conducted a count of the items in his collection last year and found that he had nearly 38-hundred KISS-related dolls, comic books, toys and other items. After he submitted the count to the Guinness Book of World Records, he was certified as having the largest known collection of KISS memorabilia. Simon says he's sad to have to let his collection go, but said it was necessary to find a way to take care of his family.

Kanye West is looking to sell his multi-million dollar Malibu mansion. A source close to Ye told The Daily Mail his reason for selling his home is because the walls aren't the right color. The source also said the rapper would only visit the house at sunrise and sunset when the color didn't irritate him and he eventually stopped going all together. Kanye West bought the beach property in 2021 for nearly 58 million dollars.
