Cheapskate: The NY Post claims Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and his wife were dining in Rome on Tuesday when he failed to tip on a $40 bill. They downed fried zucchini, sea bass and tomato ravioli before allegedly stiffing the waiter. Restaurant owner Umberto Pavoncello says Mark may have forgotten to tip because he was in a hurry. “They were really in love, eating from the same plate of ravioli. I am seriously considering renaming the fiori di zucca — deep-fried courgette flowers — on the menu as fiori di Zuckerberg.” Zuckerberg was worth $14.7 billion on Tuesday, down from $16.2 billion on May 25th. Mark was caught on camera yesterday struggling to use an ATM.

A new study by San Diego State University and the University of Arizona reveals men's offices have more bacteria than women's offices. Researchers took 450 samples from offices in New York, San Francisco and Tucson and found chairs and phones had the highest amount of bacteria, while desktops, keyboards and computer mice had the fewest. Professor Philip Tierno says men aren’t as clean as women. “Men tend to be less tidy. They wash their hands less than women and tend to be a little more cavalier about eating from the floor or from other surfaces. lso, numerous people touch chairs and phones, but not as many people touch keyboards.”

Wolford's father also died from a snakebite. Wolford told the Washington Post, "He lived 10.5 hours. When he got bit, he said he wanted to die in the church. Three hours after he was bitten, his kidneys shut down. After a while, your heart stops. I hated to see him go, but he died for what he believed in."

I don't have kids.' We gave it everything we had. He was tempted, but in the end, it was a quality-of-life decision."

 Bobbi Kristina did not walk off the set of Tyler Perry's show, For Better Or Worse. He says, "I woke up this morning to my publicist calling me saying that there were reports that Bobbi Kristina walked off the set of For Better Or Worse. NOT TRUE AT ALL PEOPLE!!!" There is no way that she could have walked off the set because we have finished taping the season. Were there tough days for her? Yes of course. Not because of the acting or any job-related issues but because of the fact that she had just lost her mother. And being someone who knows about losing their mother, I know grief comes in different ways and you never know when it's going to hit you or how it's going to hit you, for that matter. Some days you're smiling and happy and some days you're so broken that you can't stop crying. So yes she was grieving, but grief aside, she managed to finish her obligation and did a great job at the same time."

 Adam Levine loves women. He tells Details magazine, There's two kinds of men: There are men who are f***ing misogynist pigs, and then there are men who just really love women, who think they're the most amazing people in the world. And that's me. Maybe the reason I was promiscuous, and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much. I was the music dude that was naked all the time with the girls, and that's fine, no problem with that. But I wanted to create a little balance. When The Voice came around, I thought, 'People now know that I have a brain.'
