Cure For The Common Cold
Doctors say steamy lovemaking sessions, rather than chicken soup, is the best remedy for the common cold. Swiss researcher Manfred Schedlovski conducted a study where he found that sexual intercourse helps one's immune system because of the Phagocytes that are released. During sexual intercourse, the number of Phagocytes sometimes double. These cells detect and destroy antibodies, which are the number one cause of the common cold.
Weight Watchers
A survey by Women in Fitness magazine reveals that 21 to 23% of women would spend a week in jail, shave their heads or trade in a decade of their life to reach their ideal weight. 85% of those surveyed said they would rather sprout an 11th toe than carry around 50 extra pounds.

Charlie Sheen says L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is lying about only spending 3 minutes with him in Cabo. "I memorize 95 pages a week, so the last thing that I am is memory challenged. We hung out for the better part of 2 hours, discussing his L.A. roots, his poignant bullet campaign as well as his numeric 3 AM lawn-watering tactics -- in case you didn't know, lawn-watering is code for pissing. He's a terrific guy, a great Mayor and he can drink with the best of 'em: Me."
Ryan Gosling's mom wore Eva Mendes' clothes to the premiere of Gangster Squad. Donna Gosling said, “I’m wearing Eva Mendes.

Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj spoke about their fight yesterday at the Television Critics Association press tour. Mariah said, "It was sort of a one-sided thing," before Nicki interjected, "No, it wasn't. We are professionals. Haven't you ever been in a fight with someone you work with?"
Mariah said, "This is a very passionate panel and there are a lot of strong personalities. Starting this process I thought there was the possibility that there was going to be a difference of opinion…The fighting is what it is. This is American Idol. It's bigger than all that. It's bigger than some stupid, trumped up thing. It's about the next big superstar that will come from this show. The whole thing is convoluted. It's a distraction from the show and a distraction from the contestants. It's unfair to them. It shouldn't be about any of us, it should be about them. It's not supposed to be about us, it's about the contestants."
Fox President Kevin Reilly was happy with Britney Spears' performance on The X Factor. He says, "I think Britney did a really good job. She came on, people remain fascinated by her and always will be. People got to know her a little bit, maybe some people were waiting for more drastic displays of some nature that never came…She tucked in really nicely on that bench."
Magic Mike director Steven Soderbergh says Matthew McConaughey was molested on the set. “While we were shooting Matthew’s script sequence, one very impassioned woman extra pulled his G-string off and tried to stick her finger up his butt.

Chris Brown and Rihanna may perform at the Grammys. A source tells Showbiz Spy, “Chris wants to perform with Rihanna at the Grammys to show the whole world they are back together. Chris doesn’t care what the haters say, and wants to give the viewers an over the top performance with Rihanna. He wants the fans to know this is the real deal, and he is a changed man. If Rihanna can forgive him, the rest of the world should move on from what happened four years ago.”
