Life Is Like A Box of Chocolates: Eating chocolate on a regular basis has been linked to a lower body mass index. Certain types of chocolate have been linked to various health benefits before including boosting one’s sexual mood and lowering blood pressure. In a study of more than 1,000 people at the University of California, researchers found that people, who consumed chocolate several days a week were thinner – and had a lower BMI – than those, who ate chocolate less often. Those, who ate chocolate more often actually ate more calories per day on average and did not exercise more than the others.

 

Starbuggs: Starbucks is using bugs to color its Strawberry Frappuccinos. The company uses cochineal extract to get its strawberry hue.

Cochineal is considered safe by the FDA, and is widely used in jams, preserves, meat, marinades, alcoholic drinks, bakery products, cookies, cheddar cheese and many other food products.

A team of surgeons spent ten hours removing part of his skull and the pool cue fragment.

Starting between 2008 and 2009 Whitney let Nick use her ATM card to withdraw money so he could buy marijuana for Krissi and her.

Rumer’s family and friends don’t want her to go down the same path as her mom,” our source adds. “Rumer just doesn’t think she has a problem and she doesn’t want to be lectured. It’s like she hasn’t learned anything from what happened to Demi.”

 

Jessica Simpson has gained 40 pounds during her pregnancy. She says, “I had a great pregnancy. Eating and not having to worry too much about it has been fun. Taking a break from working out has definitely been fun. But I’m ready for it to be over. I’m ready to have my body back! I feel like I could pop at any second. Eric is going to be an unbelievable dad. I can't wait to see if he can master ponytails and braids!”

Hunger Games star Lenny Kravitz does not watch any reality TV. He says, "I don't really watch TV, I watch films, but sometimes when I'm on the tour bus, after a show I'm amped up, so I'll get back in my bedroom on the bus and I'll channel surf, just to bring my brain back to a neutral position. And sometimes I'll stop and say, "What the ...? Really?" And it captures me, but not because I want to see it, but because I can't believe this is on television. Like, there's a show for this? They have a show for everything. Last night I was channel surfing and there was a show on jail and inmates and showing how they do things, like one guy was making liquor. And they let him make it, as long as it would be destroyed after all. Pawn Shops. There's a show about pawn shops! It's just amazing.
