Anger Management: TMZ claims Charlie Sheen recently threatened to shoot a former associate of his. He sent a text to a woman that read: "I'll blow his head off with my Super 90."

Lifer: Jared Lee Loughner received six life sentences and 140 years in jail for killing 6 people and injuring 11, including Arizona Rep Gabrielle Giffords. Her husband, Mark Kelly, told Jared, ''Mr. Loughner, you may have put a bullet through her head, but you have not put a dent in her spirit and her ability to do good. Her life has been forever changed. Immeasurably altered. Every day is a continual struggle to do those things she was once so good at. If she was not born with the name Gabby, someone would have given it to her. Now she struggles with each and every word. Gabby struggles to walk, she is partially blind. You sought to extinguish the beauty of life. You tried to create for all of us a world as dark and evil as your own. Know this and know this always: You failed.''

5 Things Not To Buy During the Holidays from kiplinger.com

Laptops Most new laptop and computer models (and, this year, tablets) are released in October and November, just in time for the holidays. Retailers need to make room for the new inventory and will discount older models in late summer and early fall. If owning the most up-to-date technology isn’t a top priority, then back-to-school season may be a better time to get a deal on a laptop.

Cameras It would be nice to give your spouse a new camera to take pictures of the kids during the holidays. But you may be able to get a better deal in February. The biggest electronic trade shows of the year happen in January and February, when new models are introduced. By late February, older camera models sell at discounts of 30% or more. Presidents’ Day weekend is an especially good time to find sales.

Skis You may want a new set of skis in time for a holiday ski trip, but the best deals are in March and April, as the ski season winds down and stores discount models from the past winter.

Bicycles The riding season winds down for most people as cold weather arrives, so you may think that bicycles are ripe for discounts. You're right -- if you wait until after the holiday rush. By then, discounts will be steep on older models. Shops are more likely to throw in a few extra free accessories because they are looking for business during the slow winter months. Plus, fewer customers mean you’ll get more personal service.

Cars Forget the notion of waking up on Christmas morning to find a new car in the driveway. Instead, think New Year’s Eve (during business hours, of course) to get the best deal. Car dealers are in the mood to haggle and clear their inventory before year-end to make room for new models and earn manufacturer incentives. TrueCar, which collects automobile data, estimates prices on vehicles nationwide will average 9% below sticker price on December 31. Looking for a used car? Hold off until April for the best deals. It’s the month dealers tend to buy the most at auction, giving you the best selection.

10 Little Ways To Drop The Pounds And Keep Them Off from health.com

Order Two Appetizers According to a study at the University of North Carolina, the average hamburger is 23 percent larger today than it was in 1977. Choose a pasta dish and salad or soup from the appetizer column, instead.

Visit the Vending Machine Nibbling on single servings is better than digging your way to the bottom of a megabag of chips.

Start with Salad... and eat less during the rest of the meal, says a study from Pennsylvania State University. When salads were topped with low-fat mozzarella and low-calorie Italian dressing instead of high-fat alternatives, women ate 10 percent fewer calories over the course of the day.

Stick a Fork In It If you prefer your salad dressing on the side, dip your fork into it before stabbing your greens. That little maneuver could cut hundreds of calories.

Watch Coffee Calories The fancy concoctions that are now the javas of choice for many people can contain as many calories as an entire lunch.

Walk and Talk When your cell phone rings, slip on your walking shoes and stroll the halls at work or hoof it outside. If you did this for 10 minutes every workday at a moderate 3 mph pace, you’d burn about 1,000 calories a month and lose 3 pounds a year.

Crack a Nut Dieters in a Harvard University study who ate a handful of peanuts or mixed nuts daily were more likely to keep weight off than a group whose regimen didn’t include the high-fat snacks.

Don't Just Sit There The average person burns 100 calories per hour sitting and 140 per hour standing. Get on your feet 2 hours a day while you work, and you could drop an extra 6 pounds over the year.

Sleep Well, Lose More Insufficient shut-eye appears to increase production of the stress hormone cortisol, which regulates appetite. High levels seem to worsen bingeing and hunger; moreover, too little sleep could keep your body from burning carbohydrates, which translates to more stored body fat.

Double Your Protein The high-protein, low-carb approach may help keep you from losing muscle along with fat, according to a study published in The Journal of Nutrition. According to study, the amino acid leucine—found in beef, dairy, poultry, fish, and eggs—may help preserve muscle tissue.

Best Days For Shopping Deals according to Shop Smart magazine

Sunday is the best day to shop for appliances. People are most likely to shop for a big ticket item on the weekend and that’s when retailers offer the most incentives.

Monday is the day to shop for cars and electronics. On Monday, dealerships may be more willing to negotiate, especially if sales over the weekend were lackluster. Computers, TVs, even cameras are usually cheaper on Mondays because that's when big manufacturers such as Sony and Dell introduce discounts.

Tuesday is the day to shop for airfare. In fact, according to years of data, some of the best deals are found at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Thursday is when you'll find the best deals on clothing. It's when big retailers start their weekend sales and the selection is the greatest.

Saturday is the time to shop for books. Prices tend to spike on Friday and then plummet 11 percent on Saturday.

Blood Donor Wanted: A Seattle vampire is looking for blood. His Craigslist ad read: "Greetings to everyone who is reading this, I am unable to give my name for obvious reason, but all you do need to know is that I am a vampire. I am in need of a blood donor for my personal use. Being a donor is not all fun and games, mixed with mysticism and sex; but it can be if that is what we wish. I am looking for either men or women, but I would prefer men since I lean more towards them in terms of blood and sex. It would also be great if you were either AB- or O-, for those are the blood types that I am used to. This would be an intimate, one-on-one, experience. I use a wide range of techniques, in case you would carry for something other than myself biting you."

Up: Jonathan Trappe is going to attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean using 365 helium balloons. Five others have died attempting it, and none have achieved the crossing attached to cluster balloons.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are getting serious. A source tells the Sun Times, “They really have connected with each other. It’s so much more than the obvious, physical attraction. When you’re around them you just get it. Their chemistry is so tangible you can practically touch it.''

Sofia Vergara‘s fiance, Nick Loeb, is allegedly controlling. A source tells the National Enquirer, “He fired Sofia’s beloved maid a few weeks ago. He warned Sofia’s handlers that her manager is on the chopping block too, because Nick wants to push her more into movies and away from TV. She has no idea the extent to which Nick is trying to take con­trol of her career and finances. He’s treating Sofia more like a bank cash machine than a bride-to-be. And Sofia is such a loving, trusting woman that she would never suspect that Nick is using her for her fortune. Some of Sofia’s friends think she’s about to make the biggest mis­take of her life. But Nick has some sick, weird power over her. Nick’s a very controlling guy.”

Kourtney Kardashian allegedly wants more kids. A source tells OK magazine,“Kourtney's not only talking about getting pregnant again by summer, she’s making some plans. It’s at the point where Kourtney is almost addicted to being pregnant. It really does change her outlook on life. Her mood, her attitude, and her temperament really change and she loves that feeling so much that she wants to keep the pregnancy high going. She's going to take Scott away on an extended vacation to Turks and Caicos in early spring.''

Twilight fans have already started lining up for Monday's L.A. premiere of Breaking Dawn 2. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Rob and Kristen will kiss on the red carpet during the pictures phase of the Breaking Dawn Part 2 carpet. It’s currently a plan for them to do it and the only way Rob and Kristen won’t do it is if Kristen chickens out. Rob is 100% for it, but Kristen has had reservations to do it in fear of embarrassment. She feels like it would be awkward to do it for show. Summit introduced the idea to both of them and they are currently going to run with it.''

Mariah Carey recently tried to give Bobbi Kristina some direction. A source tells the Star, “Mariah decided it was time for some tough love and after the pretty harsh conversation, they both ended up in tears. Carey told Krissy straight up that she knows she’s not living right. Hopefully it had some sort of impact, because Krissy needs to make some serious changes.”

Leonardo DiCaprio is selling his Malibu home for $23 million. It features seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, a beachfront deck, a fire pit and several private gardens.

Javier Bardem, who plays a villain in "Skyfall", was offered the chance to play 007, but turned it down. He says, "Years ago, I was (offered the role). I don't remember what movie it was for. I didn't feel that it was the time for me to do something like that. And also, I was doing something else, so I passed. This time, when I read it, I felt that it was very powerful material, and I wanted to join. I have passed on many things that I could easily regret, but I don't regret any of them, because that also gives room for something else to come that I'm proud of.''

Daniel Craig says, “I was very reluctant to say yes to Bond. I couldn’t understand why I was being asked. It was off my radar. It was a very nice offer but I thought they had the wrong guy. They were quite persistent. I had to do an all-day screen test. You have to do a scene from From Russia with Love. It was nerve-wracking, but I did that and then I had to take my shirt off for some odd reason – I don’t know what that was about!”

Daniel Craig 'stalked' Javier Bardem for Skyfall. He says, ''I'm one of Javier's biggest fans. I'm a bit of a stalker in fact, because I actually did stalk him to get him for this part - I went to a party he was at so I could ask him to do it, and he said yes.' It was a lot of fun to shoot. He took the part that way and I think it was a really good choice. I just think it's amusing, light-hearted. I hope people find it funny because I certainly do. It makes me laugh every time I see it.''

Lady Gaga bathes in perfume. She says, ''Perfume is not something you have to be shy with - I like to bathe in it. Fragrance makes me feel desirable and I prefer more luscious, sl**ty scents. I actually decided on this perfume because it won over a man and he was a good catch. I love it when my friends get me ready, like a geisha. We all gather together and have champagne and a smoke and put on crowns and tell each other how much we love each other. Nanny Poppins, my nanny, also helps me by running a warm bath and scrubbing my skin so I can be the best for my fans.''

Adam Levine is not pursuing Katy Perry

Ne-Yo was recently asked, ''How did you and Tim McGraw get together?'' He said, ''I actually ran into Tim McGraw's manager in London and ... when we played "She Is," I was like, "This is my take on a country song. Hopefully if all goes well, you'll see me performing this at the Country Music Awards with Tim McGraw or somebody." And Tim McGraw's manager happened to be in the audience and he was like, "We can make that happen."''

Taylor Swift and One Direction's Harry Styles were recently seen wearing matching necklaces. A source tells RADAR Online, “Taylor really liked Harry and even though they weren’t exclusive, he hinted at making it official with her just before he took off to Australia. He even told Taylor he didn’t want her to see anybody else while he was gone!”
