QUIKKIES: What your "couples" Halloween costume says about your relationship & the most promiscuous cities in America!  

By Vikki Locke

- 67 million people watched Wednesday's Presidential debate. 52 million watched the first presidential debate four years ago.

- Facebook has 1 billion users


- Robert Pattinson has been approached about playing Mike Nesmith in a new movie about The Monkees.


- Arnold Schwarzenegger was recently spotted at a D.C. bar wearing aligator skin cowboy boots. They had an American flag and the word "American" on them.


- Eva Longoria is not pregnant with Mark Sanchez's baby

Letters Of The Day: A Big Bird fan is selling a new t-shirt on eBay that features Big Bird's face and the phrasing: HEY MITT ... TODAY'S LETTERS OF THE DAY ARE "F" AND "U". The shirt sells for $11.95.

 

Flippin The Bird: Sesame Street has responded to Mitt Romney wanting to cut their funding. They said, "We are able to raise our funding through philanthropic, through our licensed product, which goes back into the educational programming, through corporate underwriting and sponsorship. So quite frankly, you can debate whether or not there should be funding of public broadcasting. But when they always try to tout out Big Bird, and say we're going to kill Big Bird – that is actually misleading, because Sesame Street will be here."

 

Family Feud: Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj's feud continues to grow. A source tells the Sun Times, “This is really starting to get nasty. … A bit of controversy is OK — even good — because it adds spice to the show. However, if it gets too intense and their true dislike for each other becomes obvious — and continuously obvious — then that moves into the uncomfortable stage for the viewers.”

Nicki Tweeted: ''Hey yAll. Lets just say nicki said smthn about a gun. ppl will believe it cuz she's a black rapper. Lmao. I'll then hit up Barbara n milk it'' And then: ''Ironically no camera or mic heard the gun comment tho. Lol @ the struggle. Not even the producers believed u. Say no to violence barbz.'' Another Tweet read: ''I guess it hurts 2 have the producers tell u to ur face that nicki is the best judge we’ve had since simon. Awww, poor u. Keep them lies cmn.”

A source tells HollywoodLife.com, “The threat is there but Nicki Minaj will not be fired this week or anytime soon. It’s both a wait-and-see to see if things improve on set, which they have, and her contract is also guaranteed, so that’s millions down the drain if they let her go. But if she quits, then they recoup the money. Plus, this is ratings gold, so the executives are loving it for the time being. What does everyone look at on the highway? The car wreck!”

Mariah has hired extra security.

 

Lost Dog: 10-year-old Marissa Mabanag is offering all the money in her piggy bank for the return of her Yorkie-Shih tzu puppy. Thieves stole the dog, electronics, purses, and bicycles from her San Jose home on Monday. San Jose's police and firefighters' unions are offering a $6,000 reward for the dog.

 

Hillary Clinton recently honored Christina Aguilera for her work with the United Nations food program. At one point, Hillary was photographed staring at Christina's cleavage.

 

Women’s 8 Biggest Eating Mistakes from womansday.com

You eat too much sodium. The recommended daily allowance for sodium is 2,300 mg. But if you're over 50 years old, have high blood pressure, diabetes or kidney disease or are African American, your sodium intake shouldn't go above 1,500 mg per day.

Your sugar intake is too high. According to the American Heart Association, women should have no more than 6 tsp (24 g) of added sugar per day. But many of us get about 22 tsp per day. The spoonful in your coffee isn't the biggest culprit.

You skimp on fiber. Fiber slows the rate at which your body digests food, so your energy levels remain more stable and you feel full longer, which helps with weight management.

You don't eat enough protein. Too little protein can't keep hunger at bay, which can lead to mindless snacking and weight gain. A piece of toast for breakfast isn't going to hold you as well as a protein-rich egg would.

You overdo it on red and processed meats. Meat is an excellent source of protein, with about 21 g per serving. But according to the American Cancer Society, studies have shown a link between lunch meat, sausage and pepperoni and colon cancer.

You don't drink enough water. Not drinking enough fluids can trigger hunger if you're even slightly dehydrated. While your needs vary each day based on how active you are, how hot and humid it is and how much water-heavy foods you're eating, here's a general recommendation: six to eight eight-ounce glasses per day.

You overdose on carbs. Forty-five to 65% of your total daily calories should come from carbs, according to the CDC. The problem is we overindulge in them. Not only are carbs in pasta and bread but also in fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains.

You skip meals. This is probably the biggest nutrition mistake on the list. There's consistent evidence that people who skip meals, especially breakfast, are more likely to be overweight. You need calories to burn calories.

 

 

 

What Your Halloween Couple Costume Says About Your Relationship from tressugar.com

If It's From a Movie: You and your honey wouldn't go as far as to say you're film buffs, but you do have a tendency to use movie lines in everyday conversation and you're not embarrassed to admit your Netflix plan is three DVDs at time.

If It's Funny: You're the twosome that gets the party started with your presence, and your costume will be the one everyone talks about long after the night is over.

If It's Soft & Cuddly: Maybe you're a furry! Or you both just like the comfort of plush costumes. Your friends probably lament the end of your single days, because they never see you or your man out on Friday nights. Instead, you're both at home on the couch in your matching Snuggies watching a blu ray.

If It's Sexy: The couple who works out together strips down together. You and your honey take fitness seriously, and you love the outdoors.

If It's Frightening: You and your man have probably been together for a while, and after years of doing the sexy or pop culture thing, you've decided, "F it, let's paint our faces with blood and creep people out."

If It's Historical: Do you fight over watching sports or The Bachelorette, but totally agree when it comes to checking out that Greg Kinnear and Katie Holmes Kennedy miniseries on Netflix? Then you're probably planning a historical costume.

If It's Nerdy: When your couple costume is typically inspired by superheroes or video games, you know you've found your geeky love match. A standard weekend with your honey involves back-to-back Star Trek and Star Wars marathons with a heated all-night discussion on the merits of both; and your ideal romantic vacation would be attending Comic-Con with your man.

If It's Minimal: You and your partner were probably best buds before deciding to give hooking up a try. And your idea of a date night likely includes ordering in pizza with your favorite toppings and opening a bottle of Two Buck Chuck.

If It's Political: The two of you met in debate class, and it was love at first argument. Despite being political polar-opposites, the passion you both have for your parties just makes you love each other more.

If It's Mismatched: You and your partner are not the type of couple to be attached at the hip, in fact, despite the fact that you've been together for a while, people are always wondering if you're actually dating or just friends. You've both got your own lives and friends, and you relish your independence.

Kristen Stewart's mom, Jules, is pushing for her to reconcile with Robert Pattinson. A source tells RADAR Online, “She has been speaking with Robert, re-iterating Kristen’s pleas for another chance and is trying to help build up trust between the pair. It is early days – but if this reconciliation can bring Robert and Kristen back together, they’ll have Jules to thank. The love story between Robert and Kristen is still a bit of a conundrum, it’s a weird relationship. Despite claims that all is rosy – he’s still not completely convinced that giving their relationship another chance is the right thing to do. And there are moments when he continually asks her questions about the affair – so it’s all still very tense — they have some really serious trust issues. But they were brought together again by a great friendship so there could be hope. Robert thought Kristen was the girl he was going to marry.''

 

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have two relationship rules. He says, "We have a couple of rules in our relationship. The first rule is that I make her feel like she's getting everything. The second rule is that I actually do let her have her way in everything. And, so far, it's working."

They're moving fast but neither of them has ever been so happy. She's moved into his place in Hollywood. Mila says Ashton is the man she has been waiting for all her life and wants nothing more than to marry him.”

 

George Clooney and Stacey Keibler are not done. A source tells Life & Style Weekly, “She’s 100 percent moved in. She spends her summers with him in Lake Como, Italy, and all her stuff is at his place in L.A.. Stacy is his dream woman!”

Karreuche Tran has allegedly dumped Chris Brown.

** UPDATE **

Chris says, "I have decided to be single to focus on my career. I love Karrueche very much but I don't want to see her hurt over my friendship with Rihanna. I'd rather be single allowing us to both be happy in our lives."

He Tweeted: “Both r Free from it all!”

Rihanna Tweeted, “Tough times don’t last…. But tough people do!!!”

A source tells HollywoodLife.com, “She put up with a lot but finally had to throw in the towel,” our source says, adding, “I mean, he’s cute and a below average boyfriend and yeah, he’s Chris Brown, but he ain’t all that!”

 

 

Pink used to be a club kid. She says, ''I was like a club kid. I was a little candy raver, and I am the kind of person that sucks the marrow out of the bones of life. Those days were really crazy and lots of all-nighters. And with a bunch of other kids that were trying to find themselves and have a good time doing it and get out from under their parents — and there was a lot of ecstasy. And as far as I'm concerned, when you're on ecstasy there no such thing as definable sexuality. There is just love."

 

Pink plans to tour with her baby. She says, ''We're just going to be a gypsy family travelling the road. The best thing is that all my band and most of my dancers and everybody, we've all been together for so long that I look at them now as my future babysitters.''

Keith Urban dislikes the tension between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj. A source tells the Sun Times, “Keith is such a wonderful, easygoing, lovely guy. This kind of drama was not the reason he signed on to be an ‘Idol’ judge. … He hates nastiness in any form.” Keith says, "I was the U.N. (United Nations). I love it, I gotta say. I love working with passionate people. I love artists. Everyone just sort of expressing themselves. It's a very alive and very invigorating work environment. A lot of passion."

 

Taylor Swift recently had the Justin Bieber song ''Boyfriend'' stuck in her head for 9 hours. She Tweeted: “I've had that part of bf that goes 'spend a week with your boy, I'll be calling you my girlfriend' stuck in my head for 9 hours.''
