Stiff Drink: A Starbucks is opening inside the Robinson Funeral Home in Easley, South Carolina. Owner Chris Robinson says, "You walk in the front, and it's off to the side. It's not like it's right up front. Starbucks will install equipment and menus at the end of July. We'll still have the homemade Robinson coffee, too.''
Hangin' With Mr Cooper: Anderson Cooper may marry. A source tells Perez Hilton, "He'd been considering breaking the news [about being gay] since same-sex marriage became legal in the state of New York last summer. It's been about a year now and he wants to get married to Ben Maisani. They're totally committed to one another. They're a very low-key couple who sticks to their routine."
Picture Perfect: Plastic surgeons are seeing an increase in business because of Facebook and Skype. Manhattan surgeon Adam Schaffner says, “With a good degree of frequency, people will come in and say, ‘I saw myself in the mirror, but I didn’t really notice it until I saw myself on Facebook or on my iPhone or iPad. When you look in the mirror you’re seeing the mirror image of yourself. But when you see yourself on social media, you’re seeing yourself the way the world sees you. Teenagers use social media much more than adults do in many cases, and oftentimes they’re noticing things. I try to operate on minors only when absolutely necessary. Short of trauma or cancer operations or things of that nature, generally we would wait until maturity from a physical perspective and then generally proceed with any plastic surgery they might want.” The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery says cosmetic procedures increased 82% between 1997 and 2011. Facelifts and chin augmentations are the two most Facebook-friendly surgeries.
eHarmony is offering a new app that ends bad dates early. Bad Date Rescue is free and calls at a pre-scheduled time with an interactive recorded message.

Tom Cruise and his daughter have been talking on a daily basis. A source tells OK magazine, “Suri been talking to her daddy every day on the phone, which is more than normal. Suri doesn’t care so much that Tom’s away; all she cares aout is that he comes hom with a bag full of goodies for her.”
Katie Holmes is talking to her ex, Chris Klein. A source tells the Star, “Katie contacted him a few months ago after a while of not speaking. It was very casual, but it was more aggressive than in the past, since she was closer to divorce and didn’t care what Tom thought anymore. Chris has always been so sweet to Katie and supportive. He is eager to meet up in person when Katie is ready. Katie always wonders what would have happened if she and Chris never broke up. She’s so happy they’re in touch. He’s the first person she thinks to call when she is alone and can’t sleep. They’re both Christians with small-town values and great friendships with their family. And in a way, both of them have now exorcised their demons, Katie with Tom and Chris with alcohol.”

The judges were massively surprised."
Robert Pattinson and Andrew Garfield allegedly dislike each other. A source tells US Weekly, “The truth is, Andrew can’t stand Rob. Andrew hates that they’re put in the same category because they’re both English and around the same age. They don’t enjoy hanging out. Andrew considers himself a ‘serious actor’ and sees Rob as the equivalent of a cheesy boy bander because of Twilight. Both like intense parts and go after the same roles. They’re just naturally competitive.” |
Adam Levine dislikes Chris Brown. A source tells the Star, “Adam hates Chris Brown. And he has no problem telling people that, Apparently Adam doesn’t like how Chris disrespects women. In fact, when a contestant during auditions on The Voice sang a song of Chris’, Adam rejected him. “Adam flat-out told the guy he would have chosen him if he hadn’t sung a Chris Brown song. He said some people might be over what Chris did, but he isn’t and never will be.”
