It's getting crowded in there and all my data points to something big on the horizon.Winston Zeddemore: What do you mean, big? Dr. Egon Spengler: Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie... thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds. R.I.P.: TwinkiesCreamed: Hostess, the makers of Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread, went out of business on Friday after 18,500 striking workers failed to return to work. 33 bakeries, 565 distribution centers, 5,500 delivery routes and 570 bakery outlet stores are closing. The Hostess workers rejected a contract that cut wages and benefits. One person is selling a box of Twinkies on eBay for $10 million. Other boxes are selling for $1,000. A “Twinkie the Kid” lunch box just sold for $690 on eBay. Pabst Brewing Company is considering an offer to buy Hostess. According to Businessinsider.com, the original Twinkie was made with banana filling. Then World War II came along and bananas were rationed. Hostess was forced to come up with a different creme flavor. They settled on vanilla.Rob Lowe Tweeted: "Mr President, the time for intervention is now! #HostessBailOut #FruitPiesForever #HoHosArePeopleToo. I'm not kidding. If Hostess goes under I will mourn. And wear a black arm band. In the shape of a Chocodile. Then, I will try to eat it." A Twinkie A Day: Lewis Browning ate more than 30,000 Twinkies during his 90-year lifetime. The Shelbyville, Indiana native, who only weighed 170 pounds, had a Twinkie and banana everyday for breakfast. Lewis died in 2007.

 Blood Money: Students from Forks, Washington's Forks High School are making extra Christmas cash by selling their varsity jackets on the Internet. One parent says, "My daughter has a jacket from Forks High School and keeps talking about putting it on eBay. She might get a few thousand for it. Anything from Forks or Twilight is really popular now." Forks is where the Twilight films are set.  Tragedy Avoided: The Bolivar, Missouri police recently arrested Blaec Lammers for plotting to shoot people at a screening of Breaking Dawn Part 2.

Bolivar Police Chief Steve Hamilton says, "Thankfully we had a responsible family member or we might have had a different outcome. Lammers is under a doctor's care for mental illness, and was "off of his medication." Bolivar police detective Dustin Ross says, “Blaec Lammers stated that he had a lot in common with the people that have been involved in those shootings.

The salad bar tongs weren't that bad -- maybe because Americans don't eat enough salad.9.Ketchup Bottles
The ketchup bottles weren't harboring anything too awful.8. Bathroom Faucets
Not as bad as you would think.7.Bathroom Door Knobs
The faucets, the door handles ... were some of our least germy items, because they get cleaned.6. Rims of Glasses
The hidden cameras caught waiters gripping glasses right at the top where we drink, which gives pathogens a direct route into our bodies. Tests on the samples took detected multiple bacteria, including one linked with tuberculosis.5.Tables
Here's a clue as to how tables could be so germy. Photographs of parents changing their baby's diapers at the table and toilet-training their toddlers in restaurants.4. Salt and Pepper Shakers
Half of the swabs took from them were contaminated. How is that possible? They're used often but are rarely cleaned.3. Lemon Wedges
One of the most frequently occurring contaminants in the test results was fecal matter. Half of the lemon wedges tested were tainted with human waste. How does fecal matter get on lemons in the first place? Cameras caught restaurant workers grabbing lemons with their bare hands, reaching in again and again without gloves or tongs. If they haven't washed their hands well after using the bathroom, germs spread.2.Menus
The bacteria that causes staph infections and the germs that cause strep were found rampant. .1.Seats
Seventy percent of the chair seats tested had bad bacteria on them -- 17 different kinds, including strains of E. coli. Why? All customers sit on them, and most restaurants don't think to sanitize them. Fairytale WeddingA new survey by Barclays reveals that men are now twice as likely as women to want a fairytale wedding.

Other findings:- 32% of people have started their holiday shopping while 65% have not yet begun - 81% of shoppers will purchase at least one gift card and will spend an average of $156.86 on gift cards (National Retail Federation)- total spending on gift cards: $28.79 billion- 60% of consumers would like to receive gift cards this year- of the surveyed shoppers, 11.2% will purchase friends or family members a gift card for an online merchant; 18.1% for a coffee shop; 39.1% for a department store; 20.8% for a book store; 12.6% for a grocery store/gas station; 14.2% for a discount store; and 33.3% for a restaurant. What NOT To Buy On Black Friday from msnbc.comToys
We've said it many times already, and we'll say it once more: Black Friday is not the best time to buy toys for the holidays. Many will likely still be discounted for Black Friday, and it may feel pretty good to get your shopping done early, but you won't love that sinking feeling you'll get when you see those toys discounted for less about two weeks before Christmas.Game consoles without a bundled item
Speaking of toys, if you're looking to buy any of the major video game consoles this holiday, you're likely to get more bang for your buck by opting for one that comes with a few extras. While we've already seen a few choice Xbox deals in the leaked Black Friday ads, in years past, the vast majority of Editors' Choice console deals went to holiday bundles that included premium accessories and two or three game titles. These were frequently discounted 30 to 40 percent off their retail prices.Brand Name HDTVs
Black Friday is an excellent time to invest in a new HDTV, as we predict a variety of size categories will hit their lowest price points. But don't expect the best deals to be tagged with name brands. Typically, the rock-bottom prices will mostly apply to third-tier manufacturers. Instead, brand name TVs tend to see their best price of the year in January and February as manufacturers look to clear stock in preparation for new models in the spring.The latest digital cameras
There's no shortage of digital camera deals around Black Friday, but keep in mind that the premium current-generation models are just a few months away from being replaced by a new line of 2013 options. If you're eying a brand-new digital SLR, we recommend waiting until February or later when it becomes an "old model," resulting in more aggressive discounts from retailers.Christmas decorations
While not typically on anyone's "To Buy on Black Friday" list, Christmas decor tends to end up in-cart on impulse buys. Sure, that string of lights or holiday wreath might be on sale, but deals on Christmas items get better the closer we get to the holiday itself — and of course are the best after the holiday.Office supplies
For some, it may seem silly to advise against office supply deals on Black Friday, as it's not typically a category associated with the shopping event. But for several years running, office supply stores like Office Depot and OfficeMax have released Black Friday ads in the hopes of encouraging an uptick in business. Unfortunately, these deals are generally no better than those we see throughout the rest of the year. In fact, during the entire Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday stretch in 2011, we only found a measly three Editors' Choice deals in this category.Jewelry and watches
We're flagging this accessories category "Do Not Buy" for the entire holiday season. Much like Christmas items, there will be lots of sales advertising shiny, metallic objects perfect for him or her. But the discounts on jewelry around the winter holidays are no better than those around Valentine's Day, when baubles are at their most in-demand. And instead of buying a watch now, consider holding off until the spring and summer when we see more Editors' Choice deals. Man Arrested For Having Bad Taste In Music: The London police recently arrested Michael Matthews for singing a rude version of Elton John’s ''I’m Still Standing''. Linda Davies called the police because she was “frightened''. Michael denies using intimidating behavior or words.  Man Acts Rude At Rudd's Play: A man recently vomited during Paul Rudd's Broadway play. A source tells the NY Post, “A drunk guy vomited over the railing onto about a dozen audience members seated in the orchestra, right in the middle of one of Rudd’s big monologues on Wednesday. There was mass chaos for several minutes, but the cast played right on through, ignoring the disruption. The house staff expertly handled the situation as quickly and quietly as possible. They quietly helped the messy patrons to restrooms to clean up and offered paper towels to others who wanted to stay in their seats and watch the show. Given the severity of the situation, and the number of people affected, it’s pretty amazing that the show was able to go on uninterrupted.''  Jennifer Aniston is allegedly preparing for kids. A source tells NOW magazine, Jen stopped smoking several months ago, she's relaxed her usually strict diet and she's started a more gentle exercise regime. She used to go mad with her fitness routine, but she's really been calming it down and taking it easier. In her mind, she's getting herself and her body ready to get pregnant.''  Justin Theroux allegedly dislikes living in L.A.. A source tells the NY Post, “He was saying how he and Jen can’t go anywhere in New York because everyone sells them out, so they’re forced to spend most of their time in LA, a city he hates. New York is his home, and he feels like he has to give it up for this relationship to work. He struggles with it. He loves Jen but misses his old life. He’ s really conflicted.''  Liz & Dick: TV Review from The Hollywood ReporterThe Bottom Line: Both an awful mess and an instant classic of unintentional hilarity. The Lifetime movie starring Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor is half train wreck, half "SNL" skit. It should come as no great mystery that Lifetime’s Liz & Dick movie starring Lindsay Lohan is spectacularly bad. After all, it’s Lohan, more memorable in the tabloids than she ever was as an actress. No, the mystery here is whether Lifetime actually believed it had a major “television event,” as it says, because it was Lohan’s “highly anticipated comeback movie role,” as the channel’s website notes. Lohan is woeful as Taylor from start to finish. But, whatever you do, don’t miss Liz & Dick. It’s an instant classic of unintentional hilarity. Drinking games were made for movies like this. And the best part is that it gets worse as it goes on, so in the right company with the right beverages, Liz & Dick could be unbearably hilarious toward the tail end of the 90-minute running time. By the time Lohan is playing mid-’80s Taylor and it looks like a lost Saturday Night Live skit, your body may be cramped by convulsions.At one point, Lohan has to shout “I won’t live without you!” and then run down a hall. It’s like a high school play. She then tries to kill herself with booze and pills. If this starts to seem like a good idea to you, it’s time to switch the channel.Stunt casting rarely works. But in Liz & Dick it works by accident or for all the wrong reasons. Lohan as Taylor was a bad idea in the dramatic sense, but it’s pure genius both for marketing and for belly laughs and drinking games. Robert Pattinson allegedly called Rupert Sanders. A source tells NOW magazine, “Rob hates confrontation, so it was beyond hard for him to make the call, but at the end of the day he did it. Rupert told him that the fling was the biggest mistake of his life, that it was never serious, and he and Kristen didn’t sleep together. He also said it’s not something he ever wants to repeat and Rob believes him.”A source tells US Weekly, “He’s never going to forget what she did, but he has forgiven her. Almost losing him was a wake-up call for Kristen. And Rob doesn’t want to be angry anymore. They want to move forward. There are good days and bad days,” the source said. “She still feels guilty.”   Mariah Carey spends $6,000 a month on baby lotion. A source tells Showbiz Spy, “Nothing is too good for Mariah’s babies. She probably spends more than $6,000 a month on the lotion alone so the kids don’t have diaper rash. She uses what’s left over on her own face – why not?”  Katie Holmes may adopt. A source tells the Star, “Suri has been asking for a sister lately — she’s even praying for one at night, which tugs at Katie’s heart. Her goal is to have a new addition to their family within the next year.'' Russell Brand is studying to become a Yoga teacher. A source says, ''His teacher at Goldenbridge Yoga is in charge of teacher training at the center and has encouraged Russ to take the course. He decided to give it a go. Once he's finished his course next Spring, he'll set up his own studio in Los Angeles. He has this idea of an all-giving studio where teachers work for their own fulfillment and those in need such as the homeless and addicts in need of finding their spiritual soul. He wants to create his own mantra and take his teachings round the world like other ­renowned teachers he's learned from in the past. It's all part of his dream of building his own community and he would like to offer fre­e classes to those in need. It would also include meditation, cooking classes, lectures and aromatherapy classes.''  Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were spotted hanging at a Beverly Hills restaurant. A source tells the NY Post, "Justin and Selena were sitting together at a table at Culina Restaurant holding hands. There was a lot of security around them, but they looked happy and very together." On Friday, Justin and Selena allegedly had a fight at a restaurant before they stormed out. She then locked him out of her home.A source tells HollywoodLife.com, “He’s just got so much going on now and yes their relationship is strained right now but nothing that can’t be repaired. Justin’s main thing right now is making things work with Selena. He is crazy for her and will do anything for Selena.”   Kelly Clarkson instantly fell in love with Brandon Blackstock. She says, 'We met years ago when I was working with Rascal Flatts, and he used to tour manage with him. I didn't really know [Brandon] was [my manager's] son and it was kind of weird. I was like 'dude I gotta know that guy. We were just in a room together, and then he came up and said he was from the same home town as me and I was like, 'oh we're so getting married'. I was so that girl. When he became single, I was on the prowl. It's weird how life kind of puts you in certain situations. I completely fell in love. I did! Welcome to Cheeseville! I don't know. Your priorities kind of shift and you become happier and all that stuff. It's probably my best accomplishment because I think, for me, especially, I just didn't think it would happen.''  Chris Brown says Jay-Z never threatened him. "People like to take it and run with it because they have nothing else…The funny thing is that with all these rumors and stuff, is that with other artists you'll hear 30 different rumours in a week and maybe one sticks. Everything with me sticks, everyone believes everything that somebody says, so you don't know what to pick from!" Taylor Swift has closed on her Cape Cod home. It features seven bedrooms, five baths and a private beach. She paid $4.8 million. The original asking price was $13.5 million. Aerosmith is allegedly feuding. A source tells the NY Post, “The band isn’t really talking. Aerosmith’s record came in fifth after Taylor Swift [“Red”], ‘Now That’s What I Call Music: Volume 44,’ Rod Stewart’s ‘Merry Christmas, Baby’ and Ne-Yo’s new release [“R.E.D.”]. Pretty bad for their first release in a decade. No dates on the current tour are sold out. Meanwhile, LaPolt is doing a reality-show pilot instead of focusing on Tyler’s career, and his career needs help.”A second source says, “Tyler is very unhappy about the reception of the album, and is blaming Columbia. Let’s face it, since Aerosmith fired manager Tim Collins, and John Kalodner as their A&R guy, they were never able to capture the magic from their ’80s comeback. Tim kept them clean and sober and invested their money, making them millions.”A third source says, “Aerosmith is doing great and on tour and on fire. Any claim to the contrary is absolutely false. Also, Steven remains engaged to Erin. As the New York Post has been told before, just as any couple goes through trials and tribulations in a relationship, Steven and Erin have asked for their privacy at this time. It’s clear that someone is spreading false and malicious rumors, including stories about false tensions between Steven and Dina. To give them any credence would only empower them to disseminate more lies.”   QUIKKIES COURTESY OF SHEETHAPPENS.
