Son Of A Mitches: New Jersey Governor Chris Christie ripped Romney staffers yesterday, who slammed him for not campaigning for Mitt. He said, '''I said to him, "Listen, Mitt, if this storm hits the way I think it's going to, I'm off the campaign trail from here to Election Day. And he said to me, "Chris, of course. Do your job, don't worry about me. I'll take care of things." All this other noise, I think, is coming from know-nothing, disgruntled Romney staffers who, you know, don't like the fact that I said nice things about the president of the United States. Well, that's too bad for them.''

At Last: Barack Obama plans to choose a sexy inauguration song. He says, ''I think I'll have to consult with my wife.

Female Viagra

Scientists are developing a female Viagra called Tefina. Professor Susan Davis says Tefina needs to be administered in droplet sized doses via the nostrils two hours before sex and is expected to work for six hours. ''We anticipate the treatment will work like Viagra for women. Rather than a long-term, therapy-based approach, this drug can be taken when a woman anticipates sexual activity. We have previously shown that for women with low sexual interest, testosterone therapy not only improves sexual desire and arousal, but also enhances a woman’s ability to reach orgasm. Through previous research, we have shown that women under 50, who are not experiencing sexual pleasure will still participate in sexual activity on average five times per month, primarily to maintain relationship harmony.''

A new survey by Bloomberg reveals that 73% of employers have scheduled both Thanksgiving and Black Friday as paid days off for all or most of the workforce this year. Other findings:

- 99% of employers have scheduled a paid day off for Thanksgiving

- 36% of establishments will require at least some of their employees to work on Thanksgiving

- 10% of companies will send workers home with a token of their appreciation for Thanksgiving

- workers in small companies stand a much better chance of a long Thanksgiving weekend than their colleagues in larger organizations. Two paid days off for Thanksgiving have been scheduled by more than four out of five firms with fewer than 1,000 employees (81%); workers at less than three-fifths of larger organizations (56%) will be so fortunate.

- only nine percent of firms imposing Thanksgiving shifts this year will pay workers only straight time for working on the holiday, with no extra pay or compensatory time off. Conversely, well over half of the establishments expecting holiday work will provide overtime pay, including 22% that will pay double-time to workers who pull Thanksgiving shifts.

Child With Sweet Tooth Steals $4,000: A 9 year-old Ukrainian boy recently spent nearly $4,000 on candy. He took the cash from his parents' savings, which were hidden in a couch. The Ukraine police department says, "The disappearance of the money was first spotted by his father. He opened the stash and saw it was empty. After an argument, the son admitted taking the money during his autumn school holiday, $3,300 in U.S. cash and about 600 euros ($635), converting it to Ukrainian hryvnas with the help of an adult acquaintance and spending it on candy, which he shared with friends.''

And I am an incredibly big fan so I took all my courage and rang the bell to get an autograph, but I was rejected by two assistants at the door. A day later the cleaning company that employed me at the hotel called and said that Ms. Lopez had complained. I was fired right there on the phone! Because of an autograph!"

** UPDATE **

JLo Tweeted: 'C'mon thought you knew me better than this.. Would never get anyone fired over an autograph. 1st I heard of this was on twitter. #hurtful'

Daniel Craig is tired of playing James Bond. He tells Rolling Stone, “I’ve been trying to get out of this from the very moment I got into it, but they won’t let me go, and I’ve agreed to do a couple more, but let’s see how this one does, because business is business and if the [bleep] goes down, I’ve got a contract that somebody will happily wipe their ass with.”

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are planning to reunite. A source tells NOW magazine, ''They plan to go to Telluride, Colorado, for a three or four-day Thanksgiving getaway. They're getting on quite well and are determined to show Suri they're still best of friends. It'll mean a lot to Suri, so Tom and Kate are happy to swallow their pride and give her a decent holiday. If it goes well, they'll probably do the same thing again for Christmas.''

Robert Pattinson allegedly wants to take a 3-month break from Kristen Stewart. A source tells Heat magazine, “Rob’s decision to leave Kristen behind has left her crushed. They’re back together, but Rob is still hurting and feels that some time apart could be just what he needs. It’s a risky decision, but one that Rob made while the whole affair scandal was going on. He decided that he was not going to make any sacrifices for Kristen – personally or professionally. Kristen is not happy with Rob’s decision. She wants them to be attached at the hip because she knows what a fragile place she put them in. But Rob is still hurt from what happened.”

Jennifer Aniston is allegedly pregnant. A source tells the Star, “Jen has never been more in love and now she has a baby on the way. She’s had such a difficult time getting pregnant in the past she was starting to lose hope. Jen is superstitious and scared to death that making a huge public deal over her pregnancy might jinx her. It took her years to get pregnant and she’s aware of the complications that could arise because of her age, so she and Justin have decided to keep silent as they prepare for the baby’s arrival.”

Jerry Seinfeld is hosting a comedy show to raise money for Hurricane Sandy victims. He says, "I grew up on Long Island, and New York City is home. This is a tough time for this area, and we're just glad to be able to help in the recovery."

Russell Brand wants to star in the new Stars Wars movie. He says, ''Why wasn't I invited to play Darth Vader? I could be a Jedi! Why have they not invited me to participate? I'd do anything like that - to be a Jedi for the children. As yet unborn.''

Katy Perry and John Mayer are planning to record together. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Katy has never been happier. She’s in a really good place with John.

Chris Brown was recently spotted driving a $750,000 orange Lamborghini

Men are not a priority for Taylor Swift. She tells Twist magazine, ''My advice about guys has to do with how you prioritize them. They can be a part of your life but never let the guy BE your life. They can live in your world, but never make the guy your world. Knowing who you are and being independent and strong will be attractive to the right guy. Try too hard to impress a guy or putting him before your friends and family shows you're not OK with who you are. One of my goals is always to be OK and with who I am aside from love and boys.''

A source tells RADAR Online, "All Taylor wants is to be loved. She’s a prisoner of her work. It takes up all of her time. She overworks relationships. She puts so much pressure on them, it ultimately kills the deal. Then she’s baffled as to why it didn’t work. It’s like she’s analyzing love like a scientist, rather than just feeling it. It’s ironic that she is a multimillionaire from singing about love. With each relationship, she’s less and less naive about the reality of dating. She is starting to realize it’s not this imaginary fantasy with princes on horses sweeping you away."
