-Attention, women of Philadelphia: Guard your knockers!  In Philadelphia's ritzy Society Hill neighborhood, with all its stately brownstones, over a dozen brass door knockers have been lifted from people's homes.   A neighborhood like this, we're talking pretty ornate and often historic accessories --probably irreplaceable in a lot of cases. And the thief (or thieves) are probably just selling them for scrap. Police haven't turned up any suspects yet.   So far, 16 homes have been hit. Police have assigned additional officers but a spokesman is advising residents, "If I still had a knocker up, I would take it off."

The Huff Post claims Bobby Brown may try to write a tell-all book despite having a confidentiality agreement. A source says, "This is a man who left his ex-wife's funeral because he didn't like his seats and went to a paying gig that night. He didn't get on stage that night because he needed to sing his greatest hits or because Whitney would have wanted him to entertain his fans, he did it to get a paycheck -- the same reason he now wants to write a tell-all book."

 

Whitney Houston had a deadly mix of booze and drugs in her system when she died. A source tells RADAR Online, "Whitney had taken Valium, Xanax, and alcohol, which led to her death. The coroner is waiting on final toxicology results to determine which one of the three was the major contributing factor of her demise. The coroner will be closely examining Whitney's blood alcohol content at the time she died as well. The sedatives and alcohol will almost certainly be the cause of death, and not drowning. Her heart stopped beating because her respiratory system was suppressed because of the anti-anxiety meds, and combined with the booze it probably happened very quickly before she was found partially submerged in the bathtub."

 

Russell Brand is interested in dating Cameron Diaz. A source says, "Russell made a list of women he wanted to possibly date and Cameron was on that list. He's already working the angle."

David Gest says Whitney Houston was once in love with Michael Jackson. ''She really loved Michael and he adored her. Michael told me they once shared a passionate kiss, and she told me she was at one time very much in love with him. 'I think she really wanted to marry him, but although he had a crush on her, he was too shy. 'Later, he confessed to me he should have made every move. If they had got together, I believe Whitney would not have done drugs or become a semi-recluse.''

 

Adam Levine says The Voice isn't interested in having their winner compete against Simon Cowell's X Factor winner. “He’s so hell bent on competing with other shows. We’re not really interested in a way… That’s kind of a cool idea, actually, but I’m not so sure we’re totally interested in what everyone else is doing,” Adam continued. “We’re just kind of worrying about what we do ‘cause we all know the more we worry about everybody else, the more the quality of what you’re doing tends to suffer. So, we want to just do what we do.”

 

Glee stars Lea Michele and Cory Monteith are dating. A source tells Life & Style Weekly they spent Valentine's Day together at an LA restaurant. "They were into each other all night. She was very happy, flirting and touching Cory a lot. He just stared at her with puppy-dog eyes."

 

Taylor Swift likes smelling her fans. She tells UGO News, "I love that feeling when I know someone is wearing my perfume. We worked on it for such a long time and I really love it. I wear it every day. So when I walk past someone who's wearing it too, or I go to a party and smell it, it's like, 'Ah! Someone is wearing Wonderstruck,' and I feel really proud."

 

Zac Efron says Taylor Swift is a great music teacher. "She's a great teacher. In the past, everyone who has tried to teach me guitar starts with music theory and stuff like that. I tend to just doze off after a little while. She went straight into songs. She taught me, like, four chords, and I'm already playing all the good campfire songs."
