Here are a few things in news, sports, entertainment and pop culture that we've been talking about lately.

■ Sinead O'Connor splits up with her new husband after 16 days of marriage. Kim Kardashian sends an effusive thank-you card.

■ A Massachusetts woman says a security screener at McCarran International Airport confiscated her cupcake because the frosting resembled a prohibited gel. However, Twinkies are still OK because nobody has yet been able to figure out what it is that they're made out of.
