Fair Play: Augusta National Golf Course is allowing female members to join. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and business executive Darla Moore will be the first female members of the club. Augusta National hosts the Masters each year. Tiger Woods says, "I think the decision by the Augusta National membership is important to golf.

Chrome Dome Cure: Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania may have discovered a cure for baldness. When scientists analyzed the scalps of balding men, they found levels of the protein PDG2 to be three times higher in areas where hair was thinning. Blocking the protein would stop thinning and allow hair to grow again. Researchers are working on a pill and topical cream to block PDG2. The cream could be out in 2014.

 

Rosie Outlook: Rosie O’Donnell had a heart attack last week. She was 99% blocked, received a stent during angioplasty and is now resting at home.

Rosie thought she pulled a muscle, but then became nauseous, hot and clammy and vomited.

Mirror Mirror On The Wall

Women, fed up with the constant pressure of having to look good, are embracing a new trend called ‘mirror fasting’. New York beauty writer Autumn Madrano tried it for a month and says, ''I wanted to see how much my mood was affected by the way I perceived my looks. I was surprised at how quickly I stopped worrying about how I looked, and if I wasn’t thinking about it. It’s my way of checking in with myself, to remind myself that I don’t need to know how I look every minute to be a fully functional, capable human being.''

 

Robert Pattinson has sold the L.A. home he shared with Kristen Stewart for $5.8 million. A source tells Sugarscape, 'T'here's too many memories there for him. He loves that house, but he keeps thinking of that day when she [Kristen Stewart] snuck away for her make out session with Rupert Sanders, leaving him in front of the telly, thinking she was having a business meeting."

 

Maksim Chmerkovskiy may sue Hope Solo for saying he slapped her. A source tells the Huff Post, "Maks is one of the nicest guys in the world. This is 100 percent not true. At the moment, Maks and ABC are not making any public statements, as they are considering legal options. Not only did Hope not tell the truth in the book, she also signed a contract with the producers of 'DWTS' and could be in breach of contract."

 

Lisa Whelchel, who played Blair on The Facts of Life, will compete on Survivor: Philippines. She says, “I’ve watched it from the very first episode, and had Survivor parties with my family. A friend of mine said, ‘Let’s just film a little iPhone video of you and you can put it on your Twitter and ask all your followers to retweet it. And maybe they’ll contact you and know you want to be on the show.’ And that’s what happened! Even though there are a lot of young people and I’m sure they have no idea who Blair Warner is, there are some older people and even if only one knows it certainly will get around, so I won’t deny it.”

 

Michael Phelps is gambling. A source tells the National Enquirer, “All Michael thinks about is gam-bling. When he’s home in Maryland, Michael plays in a weekly card game where the buy-in is $25,000. Michael has wagered hundreds of thousands of dollars on poker already, and now that he’s retired from competitive swimming, everyone’s worried he’ll be betting millions more.”

 

Blake Lively won't do nude scenes. She tells Showbiz Spy, “When I see nudity in movies, I am always distracted by it. I know that if I am watching a scene and someone has their boobs out, then that’s all I’m looking at — I can’t help it. I just don’t think that will ever be right for me.”

Bobbi Kristina is not planning plastic surgery. The Sun Times claims she is planning to cap her front teeth because of the space between them.

 

Kelly Clarkson recently covered Call Me Maybe during one of her shows.

 

Chris Brown's girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, Tweeted the following message after Rihanna's interview with Oprah: "LOL" A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “If Karreuche ever thought she stood a chance being Chris’ main b–ch, she can forget that now. She watched Ri on Oprah and was the girl was crying. She saw how much Chris and Ri love each other, on TV no less, and it made her shed some tears. Chris always told her Rihanna was his true love and now Rihanna told the whole world that too. Man, you would think K.T. would be in a bad place right now. I mean, she is because she’s crying.''

A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Afterwards he got some water and was like ‘you know I love her and we’re going to get back [together] one day.’ After that, he sent her a text and thanked her for respecting him on the interview and he told her we was sorry for everything and that he loves her.”

 

Elton John and Steven Tyler top GQ's list of The Worst Dressed Men. Elton's partner, David Furnish, Will Ferrell and Nicolas Cage also made the list.

 

Steven Tyler is going to attend the grand opening of Mick Fleetwood's Hawaii restaurant. Mick says, “Steven is ecstatic. He desperately wanted to be here and help out. He’s having a nice break from a hectic tour schedule. It’s incredible luck that Steven will be on island, so we’re all happy.”
