Meghan Markle to have wax figure at Madame Tussauds
Meghan Markle will have a wax figure at Madame Tussauds in London.

The wax museum announced in a tweet Wednesday that it will unveil a statue of the 36-year-old American actress prior to her wedding to British royal Prince Harry in May.

"OMG, try this for news... #MeghanMarkle will be joining her future husband Prince Harry at #MadameTussaudsLondon! Can't breathe. #ThePrincessIsHere," the company wrote.

Madame Tussauds, which unveiled a new statue of Prince Harry in 2014, included a photo of a small billboard it placed outside Buckingham Palace.

"World famous Madame Tussauds London will be safely delivered of a future princess, bride to be and former queen of the courtroom in May 2018," the notice reads. "Her Royal Likeness, Meghan Markle, will take her position alongside future husband Prince Harry in time for the wedding of the year."

Madame Tussauds also shared the news in a post on its website.

"Excitement for the royal couple's wedding reaches across the globe so it will come as no surprise that we've been secretly working away on a Meghan Markle figure since news of the royal engagement broke," Madame Tussauds London general manager Edward Fuller said in a statement.

"It's clear that the public has already taken Meghan to their hearts. One half of arguably the most famous couple in the world right now she's already made her own mark as a humanitarian and role model," he added. "We're excited to give guests the chance to 'meet' her in attraction later this year."

Markle, who is known for the USA Network series Suits, will tie the knot May 19 at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. Kensington Palace announced Tuesday that Markle and Prince Harry will serve lemon elderflower cake at their wedding.


Run-DMC, Fleetwood Mac albums added to National Recording Registry
The Librarian of Congress has selected Run-DMC's Raising Hell, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and other songs, comedy specials and radio recordings to join the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.

Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden announced the honorees, which the library described as audio "treasures worthy of preservation," in a release Wednesday. The Library's National Recording Preservation Board -- consisting of leaders in the fields of music, sound and preservation -- submitted nominations for consideration, as did members of the public.

With that guidance, the librarian selects 25 titles every year that are "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and are at least 10 years old, the library said. The class of 2017 brings the total number of titles on the registry to 500. The library's total recorded-sound collection is close to 3 million items.

Other selected works this year include "(We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and His Comets, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" by Tony Bennett, "My Girl" by The Temptations, the soundtrack to The Sound of Music, "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers, "Footloose" from the film Footloose by Kenny Loggins and "Rhythm is Gonna Get You" by Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine, among others.

"This annual celebration of recorded sound reminds us of our varied and remarkable American experience," Hayden said in a statement. "The unique trinity of historic, cultural and aesthetic significance reflected in the National Recording Registry each year is an opportunity for reflection on landmark moments, diverse cultures and shared memories-all reflected in our recorded soundscape."

"The thing that I remember most about Raising Hell is that it was so much great energy that it was made very easily," said Run-DMC's Rev. Run., real name Joseph Simmons. "To think that something that just came out of my mouth and out of my creativity is being put on this level of honor just blows my mind."

Dwayne Johnson gifted his father, former professional wrestler Rocky Johnson, a new Cadillac after he went through a hip replacement surgery.

"We all got daddy issues lol. My pops just had his hip replaced and called me and said 'Hey Mr. D the surgeon really feels like I should have a bigger car since my hip rehab.'
