The top five stories of the day for Tuesday, January 29th.
#5 The spinoff of "Boy Meets World" has found its newest actress. Eleven year-old Rowan Blanchard has been cast as Riley Mathews, the daughter of Cory and Topanga from the origninal show to be in a spinoff called "Girl Meets World".
#4 Tickets for the first weekend of this year's Coachella sold out within 15 minutes today. Long wait times and site crashes stopped many from buying tickets, and if you planned on going -- it's not too late. Tickets for the second weekend of the festival are still on sale.
#3 The blackberry is getting a much-needed makeover. The face-lift is part of a plan to compete with trendy Apple products and Android devices. The company plans to show off the new model tomorrow, and they also have plans to show it in a Super Bowl ad this Sunday.
#2 Apple has released yet another iPad, this time the only thing that has changed is the storage space. The new i-Pads look the same as the last ones rolled out in October, but these have 128 gigabytes of storage instead of 64 in the previous models.
#1 President Obama goes on the road to press for immigration reform. He urged quick action on immigration reform, his plan including a pathway to citizenship. Another plan pitched yesterday by a group of bipartisan senators includes a pathway for the 11 million undocumented immigrants, but it's contingent on border security and excludes federal benefits among other things.
