FIVE HOLIDAY SHOPPING SCAMS TO AVOID
One reason we all overspend during the holidays is because we let stores and shopping malls sucker us into buying more than we need to. But it doesn't have to be that way. Here are five holiday shopping scams to avoid . . .
#1.) DON'T BUY EXTENDED WARRANTIES. They can cost hundreds of dollars, and you don't always need one. In fact, you usually don't. So be careful, especially in the electronics department. And ask to read the warranty before you sign it.
#2.) DON'T GET TRICKED INTO OVER-BUYING. Retailers put related products near each other so you'll buy one, then buy the other without thinking about whether you really need it or not.
#3.) DON'T SHOP AT THE END OF THE AISLE. When you're at stores like Target and Wal-Mart, don't assume something's on sale just because it's featured at the end of an aisle. They KNOW that's what you think, so they put full-priced items there instead.
#4.) BEWARE OF BUY-ONE-GET-ONE-FREE SALES. If you really do need two, then it's probably a great deal. But if it's something you can't use and don't need, then you're only buying it because it's on sale . . . which means you're wasting money.
#5.) READ THE RETURN POLICY. A lot of major retailers print it on the back of the receipt. And some charge a restocking fee if you bring something back and the factory seal is broken.

Taylor's New Do
The singer - who turns 20 Sunday - was spotted with straight hair while heading out to dinner in NYC.
Earlier in the day, Swift Twittered: "Photo shoot all day, followed by dinner with [actress] Emma Stone. Then we wandered around a candy store like wide-eyed little kids."
Swift -- who just landed eight Grammy nods -- recently wrote on her MySpace blog that the holidays are her "favorite time of year. Hands down."
"I love everything about this time of year, but mostly the way that people find ways to be with the ones they love," wrote Swift, who is dating New Moon hottie Taylor Lautner. "And I love sweaters. Everyone is wearing sweaters right now."
What do you think of Taylor's new style?

I am over the TIGER drama..let's move on.
Monday, December 7, 2009
Good Monday to ya! Here's the SNL sketch about Tiger that's getting some heat..Watch and decide for yourself.
ong>TIGER WOODS HAS SOME NEW *ALLEGED* MISTRESSES:
THREE new women came forward over the weekend, claiming to have had a piece of TIGER WOODS' action.
--One of them is a 33-year-old restaurant manager by the name of MINDY LAWTON. She claims she had a year-long relationship with Tiger that started in May of 2006. And it was all about sex.
--She says, quote, "Sometimes I looked like a rag doll after we'd made love. He really did like it quite rough.
--"He wanted to spank me and loved pulling my hair as we had sex. He also liked me to talk dirty to him, but hair-pulling was what really turned him on."
--"All he wanted me for was sex. [He was a] selfish, heartless man."
--According to Mindy, much of their fornication occurred at Tiger's own home. But there was one place in the house he would NOT erotically pound her: in the bedroom he shared with his wife, ELIN NORDEGREN. (--Is that romantic or what???)
--Next up is JAMIE JUNGERS. She's a 26-year-old . . . Oh, hell. WHO CARES what these women do for a living??? Let's drop all the pretense and just start referring to them as what they really are: STARBANGERS.
--We do know that Jamie used to model for a company called Trashy Lingerie. Jamie's former boss there said she was shocked when she heard that Jamie was ALLEGEDLY one of Tiger's girls.
--She says, quote, "I called her and said, 'Congratulations . . . I think.' Jamie laughed and admitted it to me. She has nothing to hide. She didn't do anything wrong. She's a good girl. It's all good for her." (???)
--Contestant #3 . . . and #6 overall . . . is CORI RIST. She's 31, and she claims she met Tiger in a club last year. She says he secretly flew her around the world for . . . you know . . . sex.
--Several gossip websites are saying we can expect MORE ladies to throw their panties into the ring in the coming days.

--Tiger's people and Rachel's people reportedly spent several hours negotiating by phone Wednesday night before striking a deal. The press conference was called off yesterday morning.
(--Rachel has "people"??? I don't have "people"!!! Why does she get to have "people"??? What's she ever done to deserve them???)

31 Leftover Turkey ideas..YUM!
Too many leftovers to handle? Scrap that tired cold turkey sandwich and turn to one of our creative ideas for transforming yesterday's leftovers into delicious new meals.
Thanksgiving Turkey Salad
Mix chopped turkey with dried cranberries, walnuts, chopped celery and a little minced red onion. If you like blue cheese, crumble some in. Stir in some mayonnaise and serve on toasted brioche or leftover rolls from Thanksgiving dinner.
Stuffing Casserole
Butter a baking dish and line it with leftover stuffing that has been mixed with packaged french-fried onions, pressing the stuffing up the sides as best you can to make a little stuffing “pie shell.” In a bowl, mix together a can of cream of mushroom soup, 3/4 cup milk, frozen peas (or leftover green beans) and chopped turkey. Pour mixture into stuffing shell and sprinkle some cheese over the top. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden and bubbly.
Thanksgiving Tacos
Saute a chopped onion in olive oil until translucent. Add minced garlic and saute for 1 minute more. Stir in shredded leftover turkey, 1 cup salsa and 1/3 cup water, and cook over low heat until the mixture looks soft and stew-like (about 15 minutes). Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, then fill taco shells with the mixture and top with shredded lettuce, cheese and sour cream.
Turkey Hash
Peel and dice 3 to 4 sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces and cook in boiling water for about 5 minutes, or until tender; drain. Saute a chopped onion and green pepper in oil until soft, then season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. In a large bowl, mix the onion-pepper mixture, the sweet potatoes and chopped leftover turkey. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and add the sweet potato mixture, flattening it to the pan with the back of a wooden spoon. Cook potatoes until they form a crispy crust, then flip and cook until crispy on the other side.
Asian-Style Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Mix together equal amounts of hoisin sauce and barbecue sauce (use enough to generously coat the amount of turkey you have). Saute minced garlic and ginger in sesame oil for 1 minute, then stir in the hoisin mixture. Mix in finely chopped leftover turkey and minced scallions, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Serve with romaine lettuce leaves for wrapping up the mixture.
Turkey-ghetti
Saute chopped onions and green peppers in olive oil until softened. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add finely chopped leftover turkey, spaghetti sauce and a splash or three of red wine, then cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Toss with cooked spaghetti and Parmesan cheese.
Corn Bread and Ham Muffins
Prepare your favorite corn bread mix according to the directions on the box. Before baking, fold in some chopped leftover ham, some shredded cheddar cheese and a sprinkling of sliced scallions. Fill muffin cups halfway with the mixture and bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
Mashed Potato Gratin
Saute onions, shallots or garlic (or all three) until soft. Blend with leftover mashed potatoes, minced leftover ham, a tablespoon or two of mustard and a small amount of milk or cream (just enough to make the potatoes soft again). Fill a buttered baking dish with the mixture and sprinkle some shredded cheese on top. Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake at 300 F until heated through (about 15 minutes).
Turkey Tortilla Soup
Slice corn tortillas into thin strips and cook in hot oil until crisp; remove to paper towels to drain. In a large pot, combine 32 ounces of chicken broth, 1 cup salsa (or stewed tomatoes) and a chopped zucchini. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Add chopped leftover turkey and heat through. Serve soup topped with your fried tortilla strips, sour cream and a splash of fresh lime juice.
Cranberry Sauce Chutney
This recipe assumes you have about 2 cups of leftover cranberry sauce to work with—adjust measurements to suit. Chop a medium onion and half an apple and saute until soft. Mix in 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger and cook for 1 minute, then add the cranberry sauce and 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool to room temperature and enjoy with cheese on crusty bread.
Ultimate Day-After Turkey Sandwich
Generously spread mayonnaise and ketchup on 2 slices of your favorite bread. Layer stuffing, turkey (dark meat is great here), cranberry sauce and a bit of mashed sweet potato on one slice of the bread. We’ve been known to sprinkle on some leftover fried onions from the green bean casserole as well. Top with remaining bread slice.
Leftover Hors D'oeuvres Soup
This is a great way to use up the crudites and cheese tray that no one touched. Cut your vegetables into 1- to 2-inch pieces. Saute a few chopped shallots in some butter until softened. Add your chopped vegetables and a few sprigs of thyme; saute for a minute, stirring to coat the vegetables in the butter. Add about 3 cups of chicken or vegetable stock for every 2 cups of vegetables that you’ve used. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes. Puree half the soup, then add it back into the pot and season with salt and pepper. Toast a few slices of leftover bread, sprinkle with cheese and broil until melted and golden. Float the cheesy croutons on top of the soup.
Curried Turkey Shepherd’s Pie
Saute chopped onions in olive oil until golden. Add a tablespoon of curry powder and some minced garlic and fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in a can of cream of chicken soup and 1/2 cup white wine. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened but still fluid. (You can add a bit more wine if it gets too thick.) Mix in some frozen peas and some finely chopped leftover turkey meat and pour into a buttered casserole dish. Spread or pipe mashed potatoes over the mixture and top with some shredded cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 F for 20 to 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
Husband’s Dinner
Cook enough rice for four people and let it cool. In the largest skillet you have, saute chopped onions, minced garlic and chopped pepperoni in olive oil for 4 to 5 minutes. Add chopped leftover turkey, diced apple and sliced scallions. Mix in a generous helping of curry powder and cook until everything is heated through. Thoroughly mix in the cooked rice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with some more fresh scallions before serving. This recipe was invented by a kindly husband who wanted to give his wife a break from cooking the day after Thanksgiving.
Cranberry Sauce Fudge Sundaes
In a small saucepan, mix cranberry sauce with a few tablespoons of Gran Marnier and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, warm up your favorite hot fudge sauce in a separate saucepan (or in the microwave). Scoop vanilla ice cream into bowls and drizzle the two sauces over the top. You might never look at cranberry sauce the same way again.
Green Bean Casserole Pasta
Saute generous amounts of chopped garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes in olive oil. When the garlic is soft, toss in shrimp and cook until just pink. Add leftover green bean casserole and 1/2 cup white wine (or water) and let bubble for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. Toss with hot penne or fusilli pasta.
Thanksgiving Turkey Salad
Mix chopped turkey with dried cranberries, walnuts, chopped celery and a little minced red onion. If you like blue cheese, crumble some in. Stir in some mayonnaise and serve on toasted brioche or leftover rolls from Thanksgiving dinner.
Stuffing Casserole
Butter a baking dish and line it with leftover stuffing that has been mixed with packaged french-fried onions, pressing the stuffing up the sides as best you can to make a little stuffing “pie shell.” In a bowl, mix together a can of cream of mushroom soup, 3/4 cup milk, frozen peas (or leftover green beans) and chopped turkey.

Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, then fill taco shells with the mixture and top with shredded lettuce, cheese and sour cream.

Saute a chopped onion and green pepper in oil until soft, then season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. In a large bowl, mix the onion-pepper mixture, the sweet potatoes and chopped leftover turkey.

Saute generous amounts of chopped garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes in olive oil. When the garlic is soft, toss in shrimp and cook until just pink. Add leftover green bean casserole and 1/2 cup white wine (or water) and let bubble for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. Toss with hot penne or fusilli pasta.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING BOB PEEPS! MAKE SOME ROOM ON THE COUCH..I'M STUFFED!
HERE'S WHAT YOUR FAVORITE THANKSGIVING FOOD SAYS ABOUT YOU:
Everybody has a favorite Thanksgiving food. And what you eat this Thursday MIGHT reveal a little bit about your personality . . . according to three food and personality experts at MSN.com.
--Most of this is nonsense, but according to these 'experts,' here's what YOUR favorite Thanksgiving food supposedly says about YOU . . .
#1.) IF IT'S TURKEY. You appreciate the little things in life, but it's not what gets you out of bed in the morning. You only play to win . . . and you like spending time with people who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. (???)
#2.) IF IT'S TOFURKEY. You think about things before you do them. In other words, tofurkey is turkey made of tofu: People eat it because they believe in something SO strongly, they shun the taste of meat . . . delicious, succulent, turkey meat. (--Sorry, got carried away.)
#3.) IF IT'S STUFFING. You're traditional, but you also have a wild side. And you're probably an opinionated person who likes being around other opinionated people. (???)
#4.) IF IT'S MASHED POTATOES. You're a people person who appreciates the little comforts in life that most people overlook. And you look for considerate, compassionate people to spend time with.
#5.) IF IT'S CANNED CRANBERRY SAUCE. You're not fancy, you're practical. And you like that about yourself. But you don't take yourself too seriously, and you're not afraid to be the butt of a few jokes every now and then.
#6.) IF IT'S PUMPKIN PIE. You like being part of a close-knit family . . . or you WISH you were part of one. You could probably sit through two hours of your uncle's war stories, and still get excited when your mom wants to go through your baby photos. (MSN.com)

You know I love dogs..This one will warm your heart! Oh and Happy Friday the 13th!
http://www.fandome.com/video/116467/Dog-Loses-It-When-Soldier-Returns-From-Afghanistan/?q=k
FOUR FRIDAY THE 13TH SUPERSTITIONS, AND HOW THEY STARTED:
It's Friday the 13th. Do you know why it's supposed to be an unlucky day? Some people think it comes from Christianity, because Jesus died on a Friday, there were 13 people at the Last Supper, and Judas was the 13th guest.
-- But don't worry . . . that's NOT where it came from. In fact, no one really knows for sure. If you think THAT'S interesting, here are four more superstitions, and the history behind each . . .
#1.) BREAKING A MIRROR. It's supposed to bring seven years of bad luck. That's because people used to think their reflection represented their soul. And if you broke that reflection, your soul would be damaged. As far as the seven years part goes, it's a bit of a mystery.
--But experts think it has to do with the Romans, who thought life renewed itself every seven years. So breaking a mirror was like breaking your soul, and it took seven years to start fresh.
#2.) WALKING UNDER A LADDER. In some cultures, the triangle symbolized life. And walking through a triangular shape was tempting fate. There's also just common sense: If you walk under a ladder, it could fall, or something on the ladder could fall and hit you on the head.
#3.) BLACK CATS. In the middle ages, people thought black cats could turn into witches and demons. Since no one wanted to cross paths with them, the idea that it was bad luck to cross paths with a black cat spread pretty easily.
#4.) SPILLING THE SALT. Salt was a luxury in the middle ages, and doctors used it too. So it was expensive, and wasting it was frowned upon. Some experts think it was originally considered bad form to spill the salt, then people naturally associated it with bad luck.
--But why do you have to throw some over your shoulder, and why does it have to be your LEFT shoulder? Well, traditional Christians thought the devil hung out on their left shoulder. So when they threw it OVER their shoulder, they were actually throwing it in the devil's face.

Happy Monday! Your last week to get in to win the AMA Flyaway. Good luck!
Britney Spears has started her 14-date tour of Australia and it turns out they are actually surprised that she lip syncs! In fact, local politicians want to force promoters to put disclaimers on tickets if performers are going to be 'singing along to a pre-recorded track.' John Mayer summed it up best, 'if you're shocked Britney was lip-syncing at her concert and want your money back, life may continue to be hard for you.'
USHER and his wife TAMEKA are officially divorced. The judge signed the papers last Wednesday.
--Usher and Tameka got married in August of 2007 . . . against the wishes of Usher's MAMA. Usher filed for divorce this past June, but he said they'd been separated a year already.
(--They have two sons, ages 2 years and 11 months.)
A&E has unveiled the start date for that Jackson Family reality series, "The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty". It'll premiere on Sunday, December 13th.
--The show follows MICHAEL JACKSON'S brothers, JACKIE, JERMAINE, TITO and MARLON JACKSON, as they come together to both grieve Michael's death . . . and plan a reunion concert tour.
--It's unclear whether any other family members . . . including Michael's kids . . . will appear on the show. (--For now, A&E is producing six one-hour episodes.)
.) GREEN DAY, SHAKIRA and MARY J. BLIGE have joined the list of performers for the "American Music Awards", which go down on November 22nd.

We haven't heard much about GWYNETH PALTROW and CHRIS MARTIN lately. And Gwyneth probably wishes it had stayed that way . . . because they're back in the news today, and the news isn't good.
There are reports that Chris was making out with KATE BOSWORTH at a U2 show in Las Vegas a few weeks ago.
--A so-called "witness" says, quote, "I couldn't believe my eyes. There was Chris totally making out with Kate in front of other people. At first I thought it might be Gwyneth, but when she came up for air, it was clear the woman was Kate!"

It's good to be BEYONCE AND JAY-Z.
Beyonce and Jay-Z dropped $1200 on lunch at Nello's in NYC yesterday and left a $500 tip ... because they can.
Accompanied by an entourage of about ten bodyguards, we're told the music super tippers ordered white truffles, lobster salad and a bottle of Dom.
Think about that while eating your Mickey D's Happy Meal today.

Miley Cyrus raps about quitting Twitter
We can't accuse MILEY CYRUS of leaving us in the dark as to why she canceled her Twitter feed. She has written a lengthy blog . . . and a RAP SONG . . . to explain.
--In her blog, she says, quote, "Some things in my life need to stay in my life only and not on some gossip site.
--"I never want any of my fans to feel like I don't love them or care about them BUT, sharing the same love and respect for me I need to have the space to grow as a person and make some mistakes.
--"I need to be able to live and learn in private. I never want to quit entertaining it is my life, my love, and my passion but I can't have my personal life be other people's entertainment."
--Miley adds that we could all probably use a little less time on the Internet . . . especially her young fans.
--She says, quote, "I just think kids all over the world could maybe take a little vacation from Cyberspace. My problem with the Internet is it makes negativity so available.
--"It allows people to anonymously hurt others without any consequences. That is not the real world. Not only that, but if we spent more time enjoying what we are doing besides tweeting about it, we would enjoy our lives a whole lot more.
--"I have very little free time and the moments that I do have I should be spending with my family and friends and loving every minute of their company."

KATE GOSSELIN ON LENO LAST NIGHT..VERY FUNNY!!
Ellen has signed on for five years at 'American Idol' but is making an unusual set of demands. She has reportedly told the staff that there is no 'uninvited hugging, kissing or touching by contestants, no posing for pictures and no autographs.'
'Dancing with the Stars' partners, Karina Smirnoff and Aaron Carter are definitely messing around. That is not the reason that Maksim ad Karina broke up but it is the reason that they are not getting back together. Karina tried to keep him from finding out by having Aaron say he had a crush on Chelsie Hightower, but like everything else, it eventually came out
Britney Spears is set to seek full custody of her two sons because of behavior she sees that they are picking up from their father. Britney is convinced that the boys are turning into 'cursing, ill-mannered little boys who don't behave' based on how their father is raising them. She believes that the boys constantly seeing a 'foul-mouthed, lazy, unemployed' father with a bunch of 'lazy' friends who are always at the house is teaching the boys that living that lifestyle is 'acceptable.' She also wants the court to be aware that KFed is in trouble for falling behind on his rent.

DAVID LETTERMAN..WHEW..WHAT A PLAYA!!
Letterman's show is getting a bit awkward to watch these days. Last week we found out he was gettin' down and dirty with staffers of the "Late Show," and last night he once again took to the air to apologize to his wife, Regina.
He says she was "horribly hurt,' and that he has his work cut out for him to mend the relationship. “When something happens like that, if you hurt a person and it’s your responsibility, you try to fix it. And at that point, there’s only two things that can happen: either you’re going to make some progress and get it fixed, or you’re going to fall short and perhaps not get it fixed.”
I guess this answers the question about whether she knew or not.
All of this began after Letterman says he found a threatening note demanding $2-million or his secret relationships would be revealed to the world. Instead of paying the money, Letterman contacted police and then told his audience about the affairs. Robert Halderman, a CBS News employee was arrested for making the threat and pleaded not guilty last Friday. His lawyer made the morning TV rounds yesterday saying that Letterman had engaged in sexual harassment of his staff members. He also said Letterman had an affair with his client's girlfriend. Oh boy, now things are getting clear.
“I just wanted to say, essentially, don’t rush to judgment,” Mr. Shargel said. “The public is not getting the full story from David Letterman," said his lawyer.
What about you? Can you separate Letterman the funny host from Letterman, the man that cheated on his wife? Does it matter to you?
Here are nine things that can boost your immune system, and help keep you from getting the swine . . . sorry, "H1N1" virus.
#1.) WATER. First off, make sure you're drinking eight to ten glasses of water a day, minimum. If you're drinking less than that, it can compromise your immune system.
#2.) YOGURT. It has "probiotics," which are healthy bacteria that keep your intestines germ-free. In a Swedish study, 181 factory workers took a probiotic supplement, and they ended up using 33 percent fewer sick days than their co-workers did.
#3.) CHICKEN SOUP. Researchers have found that almost every type of chicken soup is good for a cold. Except chicken-flavored ramen noodles. An amino acid in chicken mimics a bronchitis drug called acetylcysteine (--pronounced a-set-ill-SIS-teen).
--And the salty broth keeps mucus thin, the same way cough medicine does.
#4.) OATS AND BARLEY. When ANIMALS eat it, they're less likely to get the flu, herpes, and even anthrax. When WE eat it, it boosts immunity, makes injuries heal faster, and might even help antibiotics work better.
#5.) FISH. Oysters, lobster, crabs, and clams help white blood cells produce proteins that kill flu viruses. And salmon, mackerel, and herring are rich in omega-3 fats, which help increase airflow in your lungs, and prevent respiratory infections.
#6.) GARLIC. An ingredient in garlic called "allicin" (--pronounced AL-iss-in) fights off infections and bacteria. In a British study, people who took a garlic extract for three months were two-thirds less likely to catch a cold. And other studies show that garlic lowers your risk of certain types of cancer.
#7.) MUSHROOMS. They force your body to make more white blood cells, which fight off infectious disease. Plus, those cells your body makes then tend to be more aggressive than normal. That means they'll be more efficient in ridding your body of a nasty virus.
#8.) TEA. In a Harvard study, people who drank five cups of black tea every day for two weeks were ten times less likely to get the flu. It's because black and green tea both have a certain amino acid that boosts the amount of something called interferon in your blood.
#9.) SWEET POTATOES. Your skin is your largest organ, and it covers an impressive 16 square feet. It's also your first line of defense in the fight against bacteria and viruses. To stay healthy, your skin needs vitamin A. And sweet potatoes are loaded with it.

MANTY-HOSE AND NEW MOON POSTERS!! ROBERT PATTINSON IN MANTY-HOSE? HE COULD WORK IT!
INTRODUCING "MANTYHOSE" . . . ALSO KNOWN AS PANTYHOSE FOR MEN:
--So guys started waxing and plucking. And now, there's even a line of PANTYHOSE on the market that are just for men. Or, if you prefer, you can call them "mantyhose."
--According to a designer for Unconditional, a clothing company that sells these abominations, quote, "You can wear them under shorts, or full length or three-quarters.
--"People will buy them as an alternative to long johns, which only come in white and go up under your armpits. We do a range that go from pink to black.
--"They're a bit mosh pit, a bit rock and roll, reminiscent of Seattle grunge. KURT COBAIN used to wear leggings under a nightie. If it suits you, wear it. Women are wearing power suits now." (???)
(--New rule, guys: If you ever wear mantyhose, you have to turn in your Man Card immediately. That's it. No second chances. Take a look at these LAME mantyhose photos, and you'll understand why . . .)

They make such a cute couple! He's only 16 right? uugghhh!!!
Valentine's Day will be that much sweeter with a song from Taylor Swift, don't ya think?
The singer, who plays opposite Taylor Lautner in the upcoming ensemble romantic comedy from director Garry Marshall, will likely be writing and performing a tune for the flick.
"We hope she does," Marshall told me yesterday at Variety's inaugural Power of Women luncheon in Beverly Hills. "But when people write songs, they always want to see the movie.
"[Taylor] wants to see the part that she's in," he added. "I just finished, so I need to edit for a second."
Marshall had hoped that Lautner and Swift would have bigger roles in the movie. Sadly, their busy schedules didn't allow for it.
"She writes songs and sings and he does the vampire thing," Marshall said. "But I discovered Taylor Lautner ran track back in Minnesota. That's why I have him jumping hurdles in the movie. She likes to dance and he likes to jump a hurdle, so we made up the scene for them."
Valentine's Day also reunites Marshall with Julia Roberts. He was quick to shoot down the never-ending rumor that there will be a sequel to their hit Pretty Woman.

There's a rumor going around the World Wide Web of Gossip that JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE has been secretly playing the piano with RIHANNA for the past few weeks. And it's only a matter of time before he dumps JESSICA BIEL. (--We'll keep you posted.)
I can't vouch for this technique. But according to "Cosmopolitan" magazine, you can use your old THONG as a hair tie and, allegedly, it'll drive your guy crazy. (???)
(--Okay, this "tip" is pretty dumb. But it raises an interesting financial question . . .)
Ladies . . . what creative, new use have you found for common household items in order to save money during the recession? And, guys, would you find it sexy if your girl used her old butt floss to tie back her hair? Discuss.)

Forget about TAYLOR SWIFT, Representative JOE WILSON and PATRICK SWAYZE'S widow. The person we should REALLY be feeling sorry for today is CHRIS BROWN . . . because he misses RIHANNA. (??????????)
--Yesterday, Chris posted a video on YouTube featuring pictures of him and Rihanna in happier times . . . and backed by his new song, "Changed Man" . . . which he wrote as an apology after he assaulted Rihanna back in February.

--Yesterday, Chris posted a video on YouTube featuring pictures of him and Rihanna in happier times . . . and backed by his new song, "Changed Man" . . . which he wrote as an apology after he assaulted Rihanna back in February.

Sad news this morning -- After his long battle with pancreatic cancer, Patrick Swayze passed away at the age of 57. He died yesterday with his family at his side, according to his publicist. Pancreatic cancer usually gives a patient only 6-months, he battled for 20, even calling himself "a miracle dude" at one point. During that fight he went through with plans to star in "The Beast," an A&E drama where he played an FBI agent. Critics loved it. But Swayze will always be known for his classic roles in some great films:
- Ghost (1990)
- Dirty Dancing (1987)
- Youngblood (1996)
- Red Dawn (1984)
- The Outsiders (1983)
Jay had no intention of interviewing Kanye West on his premiere episode last night, but before performing, Leno spoke to West about the incident on the MTV Video Music Awards where he rudely snatched the microphone from Taylor Swift's hands after winning an awad for best female video. He told jay that "it was rude." There was a moment of drama when Jay asked Kanye what his mother, who died last year, would've thought about the incident. There was a very, very long pause before he finally said "I'm ashamed," and added that he wants to "take some time off and evaluate the future."
Have you heard of "Facebook Fan Check?" It's an application which generates a list of the top Facebook friends depending on how much they post on a person's wall or comment on photos. There are folks that claim this application is a virus and advise removing it right away. But according to PC World, the real danger may be in searching for a website that will remove the rumored virus. “Malicious hackers are setting up malware-infested Web sites that falsely claim to remove a virus from a new Facebook application called Fan Check...As Facebook members use popular search engines to find antivirus information about Fan Check, they are getting results that point to sites that can infect their computers with malwar.” The developer of Facebook Fan Check says his app is NOT a virus.

There's a pretty good chance that you've seen an office memo come out regarding office bathroom behavior. CareerBuilder.com tackles the issue by giving us a list of bathroom etiquette for the workplace. How many of these rules do your workmates ignore?
--Flush the toilet
--Wipe off the seat
--Wash your hands
--Leave the sales pitch outside -- no more than a "hey" should be exchanged in the bathroom
--Choose your reading material carefully -- Don't enter the stall with a stack of documents that you might be passing out to colleagues later.
--Hang up the phone -- We're sure the person you're talking to would appreciate that, as well.
--Don't get towel greedy -- Stop grabbing 10 towels when 3 will do.
There's new research today that's blaming chlorine in pools as a cause of childhood asthma or allergies. The study found teens that spend more than a thousand hours in pools with chlorine, indoors or out, had more than 8 times the risk of having asthma than teens that swam in pools disinfected by a copper-silver method. Keep in mind, researchers say that chlorine is a safe disinfectant for swimming pools if used properly, but if you use too much, it may irritate a kid's organs.
Not to go all "Alfred Hitchcock Psycho" on you, but the biggest danger in your home may be the shower! Cue Psycho music! The danger comes from your showerhead, according to a new study. Those little microbes that build up in the showerhead come raining down on your face when you wash. It's not so much a danger for those with normal immune systems, but those with cystic fibrosis, AIDS, or are undergoing cancer treatment may want to take note. Solution: Get all metal showerheads; microbes have a hard time clinging to metal.

The woman that plays nosey neighbor Mrs. McCluskey on Desperate Housewives has lung cancer. The 69-year old told her castmates today. This is the second time around for Kathryn Joosten after battling lung cancer in 2001. She quickly recovered thanks to early detection and surgery. She said she was completely taken by surprise and has cried for 5 straight days. Jooster was once a heavy smoker and hopes to use her celebrity to "erase some of the stigma of lung cancer."
The world is still talking about Kanye West's childish move to steal Taylor Swift's microphone during the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. He apparently feels the world's hatred because he's issued a second apology on his blog: "I feel like Ben Stiller in Meet the Parents when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave...That was Taylor's moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry."
Part one of Whitney Houston's interview with Oprah Winfrey aired yesterday in which she said Bobby Brown, her ex, was jealous of her career. "I think somewhere inside, something happens to a man when a woman has that much control or has that much fame." She said she agreed to appear on his reality show, "Being Bobby Brown," just to make him happy. She said the drinking and drugs started becoming part of her life after "The Bodyguard," and although she said he wasn't abusive, Brown would get "particularly nasty" when he drank. In fact, she said the night she threw him a birthday party, he drank heavily and spit on her. "he spit on me. He spit on me. He actually spit on me."
The NY Daily News is reporting that Britney Spears is shopping for a man through catalogs. With her relationship with her agent in the past, Britney picked out a new man from a modeling agency catalogue. He's 24-year old Bekim Trenova, and he was invited to "audition" for a music video. “When he got there, there was no camera crew...There was just Britney. Bekim found the whole scene very weird. He was polite but not interested. He made some excuse to get out of there.”

KAYNE WEST IS A TOOL! I CAN'T STAND THIS DUMB A_ _ !!!!
After Taylor Swift -- who is just 19 years old, mind you -- won the award for Best Female Video at the VMAs, Kanye rushed the stage, took the mic from her and proclaimed Beyonce had "one of the best videos of all-time."
For her part, Beyonce looked completed mortified by Kanye's childish actions.

BABIES..BABIES..AND MO BABIES!!
CELINE DION and her husband, Rene Angelil, are expecting their second child
--Celine is 41 . . . Rene is 67. .
#2.) JOHNNY KNOXVILLE is having another kid.
#3.) COLIN FARRELL may have another kid on the way with his Polish gf..
AND IN HIS EFFORTS TO OVERPOPULATE THE WORLD..
Yesterday, LIL WAYNE confirmed that his THIRD child is on the way. WITH YES A DIFFERENT MOM..
NO WONDER HE’S CANCELLING SO MANY CONCERTS..HE JUST DOSEN’T HAVE THE ENERGY TO PERFORM ONSTAGE!!
Proving yet again what a loser he is, Jon Gosselin is in talks to be on a new reality show called 'Divorced Dads Club.' Seems the only thing he's worried about is his contract with TLC but at this point they'd probably let him go. Turns out they fired off a pretty harsh letter advising him that he's in violation of their morals clause because of pictures of him drinking and partying. (Pictures of his girlfriend couldn't help either) Jon is definitely looking at being removed from the show if he's not careful. Kate already has 60% custody of the kids and is being deemed the more responsible parent. The money that they made from last season was put into a joint account that they split once they broke up. Jon has spent his share on God knows what, while Kate has put a large chunk of it in college funds for the kids. So money from this season was put in an account that Jon has limited access to and supposedly he's not happy about it so in an attempt to make more money, he's selling pictures and stories to the tabloids.

Kate Gosselin was a witch on the set of NBC. Click the video to watch the interview, then scroll down for the dirt.
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
Seems Kate Gosselin was a terror on the set of 'Today.' Staff say she was 'a total (witch)' and threatened to walk off the show if the cameras showed the entourage she travels with. She is concerned about LOOKING more like a mom than a celebrity. (too bad she's hardly either) She was also VERY upset but Meredith Vieira asking the obvious questions about her bodyguard and Jon so left the set 'swearing like a drunken sailor!
The next cast of 'Dancing with the Stars' won't be announced til next Monday but we have word that La Toya Jackson is in 'serious discussions' to be part of it! 'Hills' star Audrina Partridge was also set to star but MTV blocked it.

Michael Jackson movie, tribute concert in the works
A Michael Jackson feature film may be out by the end of the year. Variety reports that Sony Pictures Entertainment is close a deal to make a feature from the 80 hours of rehearsal footage filmed for the concerts Jackson was preparing to perform in London when he died.
The studio is expected to pay more than $50 million for worldwide rights to AEG Entertainment, which owns the footage and showed it to studios last week. High School Musical director Kenny Ortega is expected to direct with the hope of releasing the film before the end of the year.
Variety also brings up the rumor we've seen floating around that AEG is selling TV and video rights to the tribute concert featuring Justin Timberlake and other artists, scheduled for Aug. 29, on what would have been Jackson's 51st birthday. The singers will perform the same song list that Jackson planned, accompanied by the band that rehearsed with the late singing icon.

Just wanted to send out some BOB love to TRIPPS in Greenville! Great time last night!
Jon Gosselin's new girlfriend does not like how she is being portrayed in the media. Well it's about to get a lot worse. This girl has been trying to get 'famous' for some time, she tried out (and failed) for 'Real World' and Oxygen's 'Bad Girls Club' until she found out her father was performing a tummy tuck on Kate Gosselin. She made sure to be there for that! And that's how she met Jon, and the rest is history. But history has a way of coming back to haunt you. Some very risque stories are emerging from people who have witnessed her do a variety of drugs and things in a bathroom. She is so 'depressed' about the stories that she refused to go out to dinner with Jon on their last night of vacation. I'm betting it's about to get a lot worse for her.
Tony Romo might've had good reason to dump Jessica Simpson the day before her ridiculous 'Ken and Barbie' themed 29th birthday party. Allegedly he was going through her phone and found a lot of messages from ex-boyfriend, John Mayer.

Coldplay pays tribute to the late Michael Jackson at a recent show in Washington.
It looks like Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo are really over this time. Reports are that Tony broke up with Jessica last week the day before her 29th Birthday. That’s a way to get out of buying a present now isnt’ it.. They were dating almost 2 years and apparently she is heartbroken but they have both been too busy with their careers.
There is a Michael Jackson video game in the works. It looks like it was being worked on before Michael died. Michael may have even laid down vocal tracks for the game. No word on what kind of game it is, but it might be like “Dance Dance Revolution” or “SingStar.” It looks like it will be in stores for Christmas.
