Apparently not worried over conservatives who may be ice cream lovers, Ben & Jerry's is celebrating the enactment of Vermont's gay marriage law by renaming its popular "Chubby Hubby" flavor to "Hubby Hubby" throughout the month of September.

Vermont became the fourth state to allow gay marriages in April, when state lawmakers voted to legalize same-sex marriages. The legislation began taking effect at midnight on Tuesday.

Even politicians aren't immune from the global swine flu (H1N1) pandemic. On Tuesday, President Oscar Arias' office confirmed he has been diagnosed with swine flu and will take a break from his official duties until he recovers.

The 68-year-old Central American president is known for mediating peace efforts in neighboring countries during the late 1980's. His work earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987 as well as the Albert Schweitzer Prize for Humanitarianism. Arias was reelected president in 2006.

President Barack Obama marked his 48th birthday on Tuesday with a full plate of meetings at the White House, and a luncheon with Democrats that also served as a final powwow on a healthcare reform bill before lawmakers take a month-long recess. In between, the President blew candles along with veteran White House journalist Helen Thomas, who turned 89 that day, and had a mountain in the Caribbeans named after him.

The nation's fifth youngest commander-in-chief, Obama on his first birthday at the White House made a surprise visit to the James Brady Briefing Room with a plate of cupcakes and singing "Happy Birthday" for Thomas. He was joined by an excited press corps that could not help but greet and ask him mid-song about his own birthday.

Amy Winehouse is a "tattooed reptile" who will bring "untold human suffering" to St. Lucia. The former governor of the Caribbean island has written a public appeal begging officials to stop the "Rehab" singer from buying a house and settling there permanently.

Jeff Fedee wrote in the St. Lucia Star newspaper: "I would strongly urge she be denied residency status to purchase property in St. Lucia. Is she being given special treatment?"

Cameron Diaz wants a bigger butt. The "My Sister's Keeper" star is not a fan of plastic surgery, but often contemplates getting buttock implants to make her derriere rounder.

She said: "I'd love a bigger butt, more meat on my bones. I'd love to be more voluptuous. It's just not my body type."
