Uh oh. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's are almost here, which means food, drink and lots of revelry! How are you gonna keep that fabulous figure you've worked hard on all year? Stay lean and mean with these five tips to eat, drink and sleep your way to a skinny holiday season from Healthy Living!

 
   1. Drink Coffee. That daily java can perk up your liver, rev up your metabolism, lower risk of depression, skin cancer and stroke. Go for coarsely ground coffee, lighter, American roast for the most benefits.
   2. Snack on Low-Fat Greek Yogurt with No Added Sugar. Fat-free varieties probably contain artificial sweeteners that will leave you feeling more hungry than when you started! Go for low-fat plain topped with fresh fruit and a quarter-cup of chopped nuts.

   3. Toast to a daily glass of red wine. A few ounces of vino can increase your good cholesterol by 12%, dampen proteins that promote blood clots and one study discovered ladies that suck down a glass a day are actually thinner!

   4. Have a Banana in the Evening. This fruit is good for much more than topping your cereal --the magnesium and potassium promote muscle relaxation that will send you into dreamland.

   5. Power Down All Electronics a Half-Hour Before Bed. That means your cell phone, laptop and TV. They all emit blue light which stop production of precious melatonin --keep a dim light on for reading. - Kim Kardashian was spotted in Miami looking at a rare $2 million Pagani Huayra sports car.

Jaws: A New York man donned a shark costume yesterday and swam around in Hurricane Sandy's flood waters. His fin scared several people before they realized he was pranking them.

Pest Control: Hundreds of thousands of rats could line New York streets once Hurricane Sandy flood waters subside. Ecosystem expert Dr Richard Ostfeld tells the Huff Post, ''Rats are extremely good swimmers and they can climb. There was a risk of infectious diseases being spread by the rodents, if an infestation occurs. One of things we know can exacerbate disease is massive dispersal. Rats are highly social individuals and live in a fairly stable social structure. If this storm disturbs that, rats could start infesting areas they never did before."

Rodentologist Herwig Leirs tells livescience.com, "Most of the rats that are living there will actually drown. Rats will be carried away by the current and won't be strong enough to swim to the surface and breathe, or they'll be pushed to grates. They will get stuck there and they won't be strong enough to swim against the current."

Frankenstorm:

New Yorkers may have trouble getting around because thousands of cabs are under Hurricane Sandy flood water.

It will take about three more days to restore power to customers with underground electrical cables and up to 10 days for those with overhead lines.

Thugs posing as Con Ed workers robbed residents of Brooklyn’s devastated Gerritsen Beach section.

The White House canceled Halloween events yesterday

Two million people watched the Weather Channel's coverage of Hurricane Sandy on Monday. It was the third-highest total day average ratings ever for the Weather Channel

More than half of all gasoline service stations in the New York City area and New Jersey were shut because of depleted fuel supplies and power outages

The storm knocked out about 25 per cent of cell sites in 10 states from Virginia to Massachusetts

Russell Crowe rode out Sandy by drinking tea at a NYC cafe

FEMA has passed on more than 305,000 liters of water and more than 185,000 meals to states to supplement their existing inventory

NYC street vendors are charging $10 for a pack of batteries. Charging a phone from a sidewalk extension cord cost between $3 and $5.

Sweet Tooth: The average child ate 3,500 to 7,000 calories on Halloween night. The Consumerist and Indianapolis Star say the calorie estimate is based on nutrition labels on the most popular candies. That amount of sugar would take a 100-pound child 44 hours of walking or more than 14 hours playing full-court basketball to burn off the high end of 7,000 calories worth of candy.

New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg has instituted a car ban. He says, ''Cars with less than three passengers will be virtually barred from entering Manhattan. To reduce the number of cars coming into Manhattan, however, we have to take some steps. The streets just cannot handle the number of cars that have tried to come in. I know it is inconvenient for a lot of people. But the bottom line is the streets can only handle so much. If you're coming in from New Jersey on anything other than the GW ... you have to have three people in the car. Anybody who tried to drive around New York City today realized there are a lot of cars on the road. Traffic is very heavy. Pick up strangers standing near bridges. They've got a problem of getting in: You're their solution and they're your solution as well.''

Kristen Stewart won back Robert Pattinson with a video montage. A source tells the Sun, "She sent Robert the film after bombarding him with hundreds of texts, emails and answer phone messages. It was a last-ditch attempt at getting him back and she spent ages making the video montage using hundreds of photos and hours of home film footage of nights out and holidays. It was just like the Google Chrome ad as she cut-and-pasted lines from love poems to connect it all together."

Parallel Parking

A new survey by AA Driving Schools reveals that 33% of women change their driving plans to avoid having to parallel park. That's twice the rate of men. Other findings:

- 16% of drivers are not confident about parallel parking

- 19% of drivers have changed plans at the last minute because they lacked the confidence or skills to park in the spaces available.

- 25% of drivers have blacklisted roads because they find parking maneuvers too hard in them

Politically Incorrect

A new study by George Mason University reveals that late night hosts make twice as many jokes about Mitt Romney as they do Barack Obama. The hosts have slammed Romney 148 times since the political party conventions this summer, compared with 62 jokes aimed at Obama.

The Walking Dead: Marines and navy officers conducted a zombie apocalypse exercise off the coast of San Diego yesterday. Brad Barker, president of the Halo Corp. security company, says, “This is a very real exercise. This is not some type of big costume party. No doubt when a zombie apocalypse occurs, it’s going to be a federal incident, so we’re making it happen. No one knows what the zombies will do in our scenario, but quite frankly, no one knows what a terrorist will do. If a law-enforcement officer sees a zombie and says, ‘Freeze, get your hands in the air!’ what’s a zombie going to do? He’s going to moan at you. If someone on PCP or some other psychotic drug is told that, the truth is he’s not going to react to you.”

Boy Born With 25 Digits: Arpan Saxena was born with 13 fingers and 12 toes. The 4 year-old Bhopal, India native suffers from two rare genetic disorders called Polydactyl, a disorder that gives rise to excess digits being formed, and Syndactyly, which leads to fingers and toes being fused together. He says, ''I love it when people come to see me and take photos, but the only thing I don't like is that I can't walk a lot because my feet never fit in any shoes.'' Arpan's mom says, ''Its every parents dream to be known for their children. Arpan is famous all over Bhopal and we like it that way, and I am apprehensive about how an operation might affect him at this age.''

Celeb Dirty Laundry claims Jessica Simpson's father, Joe, is gay and dating a twentysomething boy toy. Jessica’s mom, Tina, filed divorce papers in Texas last month.

**UPDATE**

Male escort Joey Anderson tells the National Enquirer he slept with Joe. "Over the course of two hours or so, we rolled around, kissed and gave each other oral. We'd take breathers and then start up all over again. He seemed to have an insatiable appetite for sex and never really appeared tired. Whatever the case, I'm probably not the only one. After being a family man, and a religious one to boot, for all these years, I'm sure he's out sowing his wild oats with a bunch of boys. Joe has lived a lifetime of deceit regarding his sexuality. Before the dust settles, I wouldn't be surprised to hear about a lot more guys coming forward."

Snooki and Jionni are allegedly fighting. A source tells the Star, “Snooki is desperate to stay famous. She can’t stand to be around Jionni. She’s only going to go through with the wedding for a million-dollar payday. Snooki is furious because he refuses to even touch the baby and acts like he can’t hear Lorenzo screaming for attention. It’s quite sad, really, and the one who is suffering the most with their selfish behavior and constant fighting is poor baby Lorenzo.''

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick are planning a TV wedding. A source tells InTouch Weekly, "He was at Levinson Jewelers in Fort Lauderdale on October 25th. He was looking at really big, expensive diamond rings. Kourtney and Scott have met with a wedding planner, and they’ve narrowed down the date - the wedding is scheduled to take place after Christmas but before Easter (13)."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been house hunting in Miami. A source says, “If Kim wants a baby she has Kanye. And I know when the time is right, that’s going to happen. Kanye is taking her everywhere on the planet. They’re looking at mansions in Miami and they got stuff that they’re doing together.”

Simon Cowell is remodeling his movie trailer. A source tells RADAR Online the noise is allegedly bothering his studio lot neighbor, Bruno Tonioli. "The whole space around the trailer is a mess with all the work that’s going on. Despite having the most extravagant trailer on the lot…Simon Cowell is now having his trailer redecorated and a Jacuzzi bathtub is being installed. A construction team has been working tirelessly around the clock to finish before the live shows begin. Bruno's pi**ed and has been complaining about it. He's even more annoyed that the massive two-story trailer is blocking all the sunlight."

Jon Bon Jovi cut short his European press tour to fly home to his family in New Jersey. A source tells the Mirror, ''The rocker was in the UK promoting his upcoming Bon Jovi Because We Can European tour, but he cut his visit short when Hurricane Sandy struck. He was really incredibly anxious for his family who were stuck in New York in an apartment and was desperate to be reunited with them. The family house in New Jersey was also hit quite badly and he needs to go back to assess the damage and what can be salvaged. He has loved his time in the UK and was here for a while yet but his family must take priority. It's been a deeply upsetting time.''

Lady GaGa Tweets on Hurricane Sandy

'Miss you mom, dad, natali and all my friends ... :( 'I wanna be there in the rain with you. I know its gonna be ok, but that water flooding downtown while my friends are sitting in the dark is making me sad. I love you New York.'

'I'm never watching Grease again #SandySucks ... 'Its such a testament to New York that none of my friends or family members have left. not even my blind grandma in NJ.'

'I'm not sure where to put these feelings. I'm so sad. I feel like my entire childhood is underwater. The boardwalk in Atlantic city, my old Apts in Brooklyn and LES. All the bars and friends. I'm just so sad. I know it will be ok. I'm not sure why I feel this way. maybe homesickness, or maybe its easier to be a gypsy if you know your soul grows from somewhere great, and that great place protected me my whole life, now parts are destroyed. just very sad and pensive today. Thinking of everyone today.'

Taylor Swift may be falling for fellow songwriter Ed Sheeran. She previously said, ''We had both reached out to each other's camps at the same time. I showed up at his hotel in Arizona and we just wrote songs all day. Then he came and hung out at my house in Los Angeles and we spent all night sitting on the kitchen floor laughing, writing songs and harmonizing. We have made other songs and we will put them out at different times.''

Taylor Swift wants kids. She tells Cosmo, ''Being a mom full time, doing everything for my kids, having a bunch of them. One day, I'm sure. But that's the only other thing that could be as thrilling for me as doing this.''

Kelly Clarkson won't marry Brandon Blackstock anytime soon. She says, “He was married for awhile and I come from two broken homes so… my whole thing is I don’t wanna rush into something. We are very happy in love and we will totally be getting married. But we’re not planning that anytime soon.”

Avril Lavigne doesn't listen to Nickelback. Chad Kroeger says, "If a naughty Nickelback song came on, my fiancee would probably ask who it was. She’d be like, 'Who’s this? This is good. I like it. I’m terrified that some day she’s going to listen to some of the things I’ve written, and I’m going to have some explaining to do. There’s going to be a whole question-and-answer period following that one."

Steven Tyler and Erin Brady have ended their engagement. A source tells the NY Post, “Steven has quietly ended it with his fiancé. Steven has been trying to maintain his lifestyle and to stay clean,” the source said. “The tour is really important to him and the band. So he decided to end it. She’s been kind of a Yoko Ono character.''

A band rep says, “Just as any couple goes through trials and tribulations in a relationship, Steven and Erin are asking for their privacy at this time. They are engaged to be married and each is committed to their sobriety. Any claim to the contrary is absolutely false and misleading.”
