Pizza Pizza

A Manchester University study reveals that eating pizza can help you look younger because tomato paste prevents sunburn and protects against premature wrinkles. Prof. Lesley Rhodes, who conducted the study, says people, who ate pizza for three months were a third less likely to burn than those who hadn't eaten it. "These weren't huge amounts of tomato we were feeding the group. It was the sort of quantity you would easily manage if you eat a lot of tomato-based meals. If you can improve your protection through your diet then, over several years, this may have a significant effect."

 

Angelina Jolie and Brad Bitt are planning a beach wedding in the Bahamas. A source tells the National Enquirer, “The ceremony will take place in the same tropical setting where Angelina spread her beloved mom Marcheline’s ashes… She’s convinced her mother’s spirit will be with her on her big day, and Angelina is filled with joy just thinking about it.”

 

Chris Evans says his Captain America suit was redesigned for The Avengers. "I can pee freely now, which is great. It is a world of relief. The suit itself is fantastic. It makes action sequences a lot easier. The last suit was very difficult to move in. It's still little toasty in there but it looks great." The Avengers opens Friday. It has already made $185 million overseas.

  

Bobby Brown tells Matt Lauer he never turned Whitney Houston onto drugs. "I didn't get high on narcotics before I met Whitney. I smoked weed, I drank the beer, but no, I wasn't the one that got Whitney on drugs at all. It's just ... it's just unexplainable how one could, you know, [say that I] got her addicted to drugs. I'm not the reason she's gone."

 

David Arquette says Kelly Ripa won't allow him to audition for Live With Kelly. "I have asked. But she's giving me a very cold shoulder. I've given up on a shot. I'm bummed, but I'm fine. My pitch would be, people love me and I love people! That's what I think Regis had."

 

John Mayer has written a new song for Jennifer Aniston. A source tells US Weekly, "Shadow Days is about Jen. It really took him a long time to get over her. He really loved her a lot. John and Jen weren't right for each other, but he is really a good guy." John sings: ""You find yourself alone. . . I found myself in pieces/ On my hotel floor/Hard times help me see/I'm a good man with a good heart/Had a tough time, got a rough start/And I finally learned to let it go."

 

Sly Stallone is writing another Rambo movie. He says, "It's one thing where you lay down the final culmination of your life where you can articulate it, but also act on it where he realizes what his destiny really is. It's not to be a farmer, it's not to be obscure - it's to go out in a blaze of glory in a heroic fashion... That's who he is. I'm working on a formula for it right now."

 

Rihanna is in talks to star in Fast & Furious 6. A source says she may play a villain. "Rihanna impressed with her acting debut in Battleship. Writers think she'll be perfect for the role. Her character has plenty of bite and doesn't take any prisoners just like her in real life. It's a step up the ladder for her and could lead to bigger action roles."

 

Selena Gomez says her new movie, Spring Breakers, isn't for her younger fans. She tells UGO News, "My character is kind of the timid one but she smokes and she drinks and dances with random guys. When I see the little kids coming up to me I 'm like, 'Please don't watch this movie, just watch my show.' The moms are like, 'Really?' And I'm like, 'Yes!' I have to warn them a little bit but eventually I have to do things that are for me and this is really exciting. I do have fans that are my age and they can see this because it's real. It's not something we are hiding or fabricating. This is what happens at spring break. I like being real with my fans and hopefully they will be supportive of it."

 

E! is launching a new reality singing competition called Opening Act. Nigel Lythgoe, Mary J. Blige and music producer Antonina Armato will judge the show. Winners will open for Nicki Minaj, Rod Stewart, LMFAO, Brad Paisley, Jason Aldean, Jason Mraz and Gym Class Heroes. All contestants will be found on the net.
