Must Reed: New York Observer film critic Rex Reed called Melissa McCarthy a 'hippo' in his review of Identity Thief. He wrote: ''The snafus in the worst road movie since The Guilt Trip plunge Mr. Bateman and his female hippo into a motel with only a double bed, a grotesque sex scene with a pickled reprobate she picks up in a bar who demands a threesome, a violent bar fight that bloodies his nose, a kidnapping, a multi-car collision going the wrong way on the freeway … but why go on? They seem to be making it up as they go along, in a movie that threatens never to end.''

 

Payless Pay-more Shoes: Designer Chris Shellis is selling a $220,000 pair of high heels for Valentine's Day. The solid gold heels contain 2,000 diamonds and are meant to be worn in the bedroom. An optional $300,000 carrying case is also available.

 

 

Jackpot: Kyle Messier won $100,000 playing the Idaho Lottery on Monday. He immediately quit his fast food job after scratching off his winning ticket. Kyle says, “I got in the car with my best friend and started playing the tickets, when I realized I’d won. My friend and I started hugging right there in the car! I couldn’t believe it. I just got lucky! I guess you could say I called in rich! Wow, that’s about six years of salary at my old job. This is a dream come true and couldn’t have come at a better time.” He now plans to go to college.

 

Sports Section: Regis Philbin is in talks with Fox Sports about hosting a roundtable sports show. A source tells the NY Post, “Conversations have taken place, but any specific role, or potential show, have not resulted from those conversations or discussions at this point.''

 

Scam Artist: With Valentine's Day fast approaching, the Better Business Bureau is warning people about scams on free online dating sites. A London woman met a man online, who claimed he was a U.S. soldier serving in Afghanistan. He said he loved her and needed money to buy his way out of the army so he could move to the U.K. for her. The unidentified woman sent the scam artist $250,000. She was told the officer she thought she was romantically involved with was actually dead.

 Life Is Like A Box of Chocolates

Doctors say chocolate-covered strawberries are a must when it comes to lovemaking this Valentine's Day. They claim Phenylethyamine, which is found in strawberries, is sometimes referred to as the 'love drug' because it quickens the pulse and emulates the feeling of falling in love.

Chocolate contains anandamide, which is similar to a chemical found in marijuana that causes feelings of euphoria. Olives are also recommended for great lovemaking sessions. Green ones make a man more virile, while black olives increase a woman's libido. Both are rich in vitamin E, which is thought to boost your sex drive.

Tastes Great ... Less Swilling: Ottawa, Canada's HogsBack Brewing Company is selling Aporkalypse Now Oatmeal Bacon Stout Beer. The company says it features real Canadian pork. "This proves it. Everything tastes better with bacon, even great tasting beer. Blending roasted malt and oatmeal, this smooth, dark beer has a sweet caramel aroma and a rich and creamy unbridled taste that comes from a unique infusion of local bacon."

 

Tom Cruise only wants to be referred to as 'Cage' on the set of his new film, 'All You Need Is Kill'. A source tells the Sun he's determined to stay in character. ''Tom doesn't care what people think. He's so focused on doing the best possible job on the movie and has used the same tactics in previous roles. Because he's Tom Cruise, everybody follows orders. He's a legend to them.''

 

Mila Kunis and Demi Moore are allegedly planning to meet. A source tells NOW magazine, ''There's been so much mud slinging. Mila wants to put paid to rumors she got close to Ashton while he was still with Demi.''

A source tells Perez Hilton, "Demi wants nothing more than to be able to move forward with her life, but she's still really, really upset about Ashton and Mila, it eats her up every time she hears about them or see pictures of them together. She's doing everything she can right now to live her life to the fullest, but it's hard to move on because she still has feelings for Ashton and hasn’t found a suitable distraction just yet."

 

 

A part-time Hollywood model tells Hollywoodlife.com she hooked up with Robert Pattinson last Summer. “I hooked-up with Rob twice last summer and I’d give him a 10 for sure. He’s a great kisser and really sweet, but he still totally knows how to take charge. We were drinking a lot both times but he had no problems in the bedroom, we stayed up almost all night the first time. He was smoking and since I don’t smoke he was really self conscious about his breath and he kept running to the bathroom to use the mouthwash. I told him it was totally fine but it was still nice that he cared so much. We both knew it was never going to be anything serious but Rob never made me feel cheap. The whole thing was as good as you’d imagine. I’d love to see him again.”

 

 

Jennifer Aniston has been offered a large sum of money to write an autobiography. A source tells OK! magazine, ''Jen won't want to dwell on bad things she'll want people to be laughing, not crying. It's not about going after Brad and Angelina [Jolie] but if she does write it she will be honest. What happened with John Mayer and how he cruelly ripped her heart out will be one big confession. And then the ridiculous fling with Gerard Butler, people will laugh at the story behind that one.''

 

 

Paula Deen is allegedly addicted to spray tanning. A source tells the National Enquirer, “Paula is thrilled about finally losing weight and she’s been hitting the spray-tan can like crazy in an attempt to look even better. She thinks it makes her look thinner, but no one wants to tell her that she actually looks more like a pumpkin than a bronze beauty! Paired with her shock of white hair, Paula’s face looks like it could actually glow in the dark. You can’t help but stare. In fact, it’s downright distracting, but Paula is so tan-obsessed she just doesn’t see it.”

 

 

 Simon Cowell may launch a cooking show. A source tells Showbiz Spy, “Simon and Fox are in talks to bring his culinary show to the US in 2014, despite it having not even aired in the UK yet. They have full faith in Simon as a television impresario and believe his latest idea will be a resounding success. It’s a pretty easy formula to translate to US audiences. It’s a little bit like ‘Antiques Roadshow’ meets ‘Top Chef’ and Simon believes it could really take off.”

 

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson may be done. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “The truth is, it’s really over between them. No matter how hard they try to fix it. Rob’s tried so hard to forgive. But it seems he just can’t forget what Kristen did to him and how she publicly shamed him. When he flew to Australia to start work on The Rover their relationship was pretty much in the air. I think the only reason they got back together in the first place was because all they really know is each other.”

** UPDATE **

A source tells Heat magazine, “Kristen was feeling low - the lowest she’s ever felt - when Rob flew to Australia. She doesn’t have a huge circle of friends. Rob was the closest person to her. So, when he left, she reached out to Rupert to see if he was OK, and suggested meeting for a coffee. It seemed like Kristen was just blindly trying to do something to ease her pain. When Rob found out she’d contacted Rupert through a mutual friend, he was upset Kristen would even go there. He wasn’t jealous. He was just incredulous.”

 

Honey Boo Boo and her family are visiting Disney World. They Tweeted: "Yes we r in Orlando until Sun, we have no meet/greets planned as we r on vacation...we will not be posting our location every day, if ur 1 of the lucky ones you've seen us or will run into us. We enjoyed meeting sum of u today!"

 

Richard Simmons recently wrote a song. He tells the Huff Post, “I have an exercise studio, and I have about 20 women in my class who have husbands deployed to Afghanistan. So I get up very early in the morning -- at 3 a.m. -- and answer my emails, and this one lady wrote and said that she couldn't stop eating because her husband was going for the fourth time. It just got to me, and I sat at my butcher block with my 16-year old Dalmatian and wrote a song. The number-one reason people put on weight is low self-worth. When your husband isn’t making love to you and can't find a job, when your children don't treat you with respect, when you get called names when you're walking down the street,” he says. “I know this is part of our society, but it really brings a tear to my eye.

 

 

Justin Bieber's mom wants him to reconcile with Selena Gomez. A source tells RADAR Online, “Justin’s mom has always been very close to Selena, and she’s impressed by what a good influence she’s been on her son. Pattie’s been pushing hard for Justin to get back with Selena. It was one of Justin’s supposed friends who recently sold photos of him allegedly smoking weed. Selena is very careful who she spends time with and is very suspicious of people she doesn’t know – she doesn’t want to be with Justin all the time as he’s surrounding himself with what she thinks are really shady people. Pattie believes though that if Selena would just get back together again with Justin she could soon get him back on the straight and narrow.”

** UPDATE **

A source tells the Sun Times, “This is more about getting Justin to clean up his act and his image. Both these kids undoubtedly will date lots of people before they truly settle down.”

 

 

The Star claims Justin Bieber impresses women with his car. A source says, “Justin will take a woman for a drive in his flashy car before bringing her back to his massive home in Calabasas. Then he’ll make her a drink from the bar he had built in his bedroom. At his house, he shows off the beautiful view!”

 

John Mayer tells CBS he used to be a jerk. "I was just a jerk. It's very liberating when you finally realize it's impossible to make everyone like you. I wanted everybody to like me. I thought I was one shuck and jive away in every direction."

 

Brandon Blackstock's proposal stunned Kelly Clarkson. She says, "We always play darts and drink beer and listen to vinyl. That's our thing, but out of nowhere I just said, 'Thanks for being an awesome guy. I've never been properly loved by a man,' and I was just like, 'I thank you so much for that'. Then, all of a sudden, he leans in and kisses me and he's on his knee. Still at this point I'm like, 'Did he drop something?' Not a damn clue! If I did I would have worn something besides Uggs and a sweatshirt with no bra. I was like, 'Are you gonna put the ring on?' And he looked up and was like, 'Well, usually at some point the girl says yes or no.' And I'm like, 'Oh, obviously yes!'"

 

 

Gawker claims Justin Timberlake has been hired as the new creative director for Bud Light Platinum beer

 

 

Adam Levine is taking his mom to the Grammys. He tells Extra, ''My mother will be my date. I love my mum. I'm excited to take her. When she came with me one year, we won, so I thought she was my good luck charm. She should come again.''
