On Second Thought ... : Pizza Hut is offering free pizza to anyone, who asks Barack Obama or Mitt Romney if they prefer sausage or pepperoni during next week’s town hall debate. They say, ''The Pizza Party is offering free pizza for life* to an official attendee who asks either of the participants the age-old burning question – Sausage or Pepperoni? – during the live telecast town hall format presidential debate… “We recognize there are a lot of serious issues to be debated, but we also know a lot less serious – but no less important – ones are being discussed every night inside houses across the country. So for the candidates to be able to show that they’re in tune with all the issues, we felt a pizza-related question on behalf of The Pizza Party was very appropriate for a town hall debate.”

**UPDATE**

Pizza Hut is moving the contest online due to public pressure. It will still honor the prize if someone poses the question live at the debate. The company will award two prizes if someone does ask the question.

LeBron James Is Comical: Marvel has launched the "LeBron James: King of The Rings" comic book. In it, he battles zombies and bionic NBA players in his quest to win a title.

 

Chelsea Handler wants to interview Tim Tebow. She says, “We don’t have a ton of athletes on the show, but we should have Tim Tebow on,” the host said. “But I don’t think Tim Tebow could handle a girl like me, to be honest.”

 

Jennifer Aniston has allegedly invited Brad Pitt's mom to her wedding. A source tells NOW magazine, ''Jennifer wants Jane to be there. She's closer to her than she is to her own mother Nancy and it just feels right. Jane is thrilled that Jennifer has found happiness again. She has been on the end of the phone and in person offering advice and support for the past seven years. She wouldn't miss Jen's wedding for anything.''

 

Paul Shaffer may leave David Letterman when his contract expires in 2014. He tells TV Guide Canada, “We’ve been on 30 years so now we’ve got another two years. I’m going to be certainly ready to lie down after that, take a nap. But life is nutty. Anything can happen. I’ve been so lucky and blessed to be working this long in show business. And whatever happens now is just gravy to me. I love to be the center of attention. My oversized ego craves it and needs it. It’s more of a sick need to be loved and have everyone paying attention to you.”

 

  

Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian are allegedly feuding. A source tells the National Enquirer, “The show hasn’t even started taping yet and the knives are out! Mario thinks Khloe is an airhead, and she thinks he’s a musclebound stuffed shirt. They’re already vying for the spotlight, and the real competition is going to be which one will be the bigger pain in the butt for ‘X Factor’ brass when production starts. They both demanded exactly the same amount of air time, a completely even distribution of promotional commitments, the same dressing room trailers and the same down-to-the-penny wardrobe, hair and makeup budgets. Mario even tried to get approval of Khloe’s wardrobe because he’s terrified her cleavage is going to detract from his muscles! Meanwhile, Mario is all about business. Plus, he always has to be the bigger star, so it infuriates him to have an equal role with someone as popular as Khloe. Mario and Khloe each feel they’ll be the new name draw for ‘X Factor’ fans – and for the producers, the headaches have just begun.”

 

Katie Holmes is allegedly done dating actors. A source tells Perez Hilton, “Katie doesn’t want to tie herself down just yet, but she says she’s done going out with actors. Her previous relationships with Joshua (Jackson), Chris (Klein) and Tom (Cruise) didn’t work out, so she thinks she should look away from her own profession.”

 

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were spotted at an L.A. bar on Sunday. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Rob and Kristen looked really happy last night. They were with a couple of friends, two guys and a girl. They were laughing a lot and just enjoying themselves. Rob and Kristen were holding hands for some of the time. She kept really close to him, like he was her security blanket. They all had beers and chicken wings. It was a fun night, really crowded.

 

Rihanna tells Vogue that no one understands her relationship with Chris Brown. “The world hasn’t let go. They haven’t seen any progress in our friendship, because they don’t see anything, but they’re not on the inside. They can’t see what I see, unless they’re sitting in my point of view. I guess I’ll learn to accept that.”

 

Jay-Z is demanding that Chris Brown treat Rihanna with respect. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “He called Chris to one side and told him if he hurts Rihanna, whether emotionally or physically, it’s over for him. Jay-Z told Rihanna that if Chris is truly making her happy then to go for it.”

 

Rihanna hasn't been on a date in two years. She tells Vogue, “I have not been on a date in forever. Like two years. Haven’t gone to the movies, to dinner. Zero. No one asks. Trust me on that. I’m waiting for the man who’s ballsy enough to deal with me. I’m going to wait, though. You always find the wrong s**t when you go looking,” she says. “Seriously, all I want is a guy to take me out and make me laugh for a good hour and take my ass back home. He doesn’t even have to come up. All I want is a conversation for an hour.”

 

Usher celebrated his 34th birthday in London with Tom Cruise.

 

Ethel Kennedy adores Taylor Swift. She says, "She is just spectacular; she is just sensational... She's very kind. You know what she really is? She's game. She had never sailed before, she sailed; she had never gone dragging before, she dragged... She played everything that everyone else was doing (with) no fuss."

Kennedy cousin Christopher Lawford says, “Mary Richardson was a big-hearted individual who cared deeply for her kids and they’ve suffered greatly for her not being there. So whatever Conor has to do to comfort himself, he should do it as long as they are both happy and healthy ... and left alone.”

 

Taylor Swift recently backed into her bass player's car. She says, ''I freaked out 'cause I went the wrong way and he was gonna think I'm a bad driver and then I backed into another car. I cannot believe there was a car behind me. I thought that- because I could only see the security car, and Amos' car was so low and I didn't look in the back camera and I was so sure no one was behind me."
