Cold and Flu Season: A study by the London-based insurance company Young Marmalade reveals that driving with a cold or flu is like driving drunk. Researchers, who studied drivers with colds, recorded slower reaction times, more frequent sudden braking, and decreased awareness of surrounding traffic. Certain over-the-counter medications can also make you drowsy. Researchers used a black box to record times and reactions and say a driver who is 95% accurate when healthy falls to 65% when ill. The flu outbreak is expected to last another 8 to 10 weeks because the peak of flu season is in February.

Gun Control: Bill Clinton was speaking at a Samsung event at the Consumer Electronics Show when he called for gun control and said, “I grew up in this hunting culture, but this is nuts. Why does anybody need a 30-round clip for a gun?” Joe Biden plans to meet with the NRA regarding the issue.

Chris Rock says, “The gun lobby also says people need to be able to protect their property, but every mass shooting is done by guys who live with their mother. So I believe you should need to have a mortgage to buy a gun. A mortgage is a real background check. Even if you go to jail for 30 years, you’ve still got to pay your mortgage.”

World Wide Webb: AJ McCarron's girlfriend, Miss Alabama Katherine Webb, canceled 8 interviews yesterday. She told TMZ, "My decision to cancel the interviews was not made at A.J.'s request.

Webb has gained 200,000 Twitter followers since Brent Musberger mentioned her on Monday night. AJ wants to keep their relationship private and focus on the team.

Mrs Clean

Although being a stay-at-home dad is much more accepted than it used to be, a majority of men still leave the housework to women. That's according to a study conducted by the University of Indianapolis, which kept tabs on 30 working-class couples who lived together but weren't married. Researchers found in all cases, the women were held responsible for keeping their homes clean - even if they made more money or were the only ones working.

Best And Worst Foods For Sleep from health.com

Cherries Best Cherries are one of the few natural foods to contain melatonin, the chemical that helps control our body’s internal clock. One study—albeit a small one—found that drinking tart cherry juice resulted in small improvements in sleep duration and quality in adults who suffered from chronic insomnia. (And travelers often take melatonin capsules to combat jet lag).

Bacon Cheeseburger Worst The stratospheric fat content of this particular fast food is guaranteed to be a sleep killer. Fat stimulates the production of acid in the stomach, which can spill up into your esophagus, causing heartburn. Fatty foods can also loosen the lower esophageal sphincter, the barrier between the stomach and the esophagus, making it even easier for acid to get in all the wrong places. In fact, there’s almost nothing to recommend this kind of high-fat, salt-laden indulgence if you want to preserve your health, including the quality of your sleep.

Milk Best You may have fond memories of your mother or grandmother making you a glass of warm milk to help you fall asleep. This may not be just an old wives’ tale. Milk contains the amino acid tryptophan, a precursor to the brain chemical serotonin. Although the topic is a controversial one, some people believe that tryptophan and serotonin might make it easier to sleep. Or maybe a simple glass of milk brings back soothing childhood memories, which help you drift off.

Wine Worst Alcohol of any kind is “terrible” for sleep. Why? It metabolizes quickly in your system and causes you to wake up multiple times during the night. One study found that a glass of bourbon or vodka mixed with caffeine-free soda at bedtime increased the amount of time women spent awake during the night by 15 minutes. It also reduced nightly sleep time by 19 minutes and diminished quality of sleep. If you don’t refrain from alcohol for our own benefit, do it for your mate. Alcohol makes snoring worse so it will impact you and your potential bed partner.

Jasmine Rice Best Jasmine rice ranks high on the glycemic index, meaning the body digests it slowly, releasing glucose gradually into the bloodstream. A 2007 study in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" found that consuming jasmine rice four hours before bedtime cut the amount of time it took to fall asleep in half when compared with eating a high-glycemic-index meal at the same time interval. The authors speculate that high-glycemic-index meals may up the production of tryptophan.

Coffee Worst Coffee contains caffeine, which is a central nervous stimulant. Translation: Drinking Java too close to bedtime will keep you up at night. Of course, people differ in their sensitivity to caffeine and that’s usually based on how much caffeine you’re accustomed to consuming. If you don’t know your tolerance, skip the java, especially late in the day.

Fortified Cereal Best Carbs in general are good for sleep but it’s not a great idea to binge on a box of cookies before bedtime (or anytime). Instead, try a bowl of Kashi or shredded wheat which contain “good” or complex carbs. Even better, cereal goes well with milk which has its own sleep-promoting qualities. That’s two for the price of one. Other complex carbs are quinoa, barley, and buckwheat.

Dark Chocolate Worst Chocolate contains not only calories, but caffeine, especially dark chocolate. A 1.55-ounce Hershey’s milk chocolate bar, for instance, contains about 12 milligrams of caffeine, or the same amount as three cups of decaffeinated coffee. A Hershey’s special-dark bar has 20 milligrams of caffeine, about the same as half an ounce of espresso. Chocolate also contains theobromine, another stimulant that can increase heart rate and sleeplessness.

Tom Cruise and Cynthia Jorge are allegedly dating in secret. A source tells InTouch Weekly, “They’re getting to know each other. It’s like any relationship in the beginning phase. Obviously, dating someone like Tom feels like a fairy tale. It’s Tom’s personality — not his fame and fortune — that Cynthia is most drawn to. They have a lot in common and are seeing where things go.”

Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris, is looking to date an older man. A source tells the National Enquirer, “She wants nothing less than what she perceives to be the mature, supportive but intense, love these two icons shared. She’d wel­come an older, more mature relationship that would give her the security and support she misses since her father died.”

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart enjoy sex 6 to 7 times a day. A source tells Perez Hilton, "They have a very active sex life and like handcuffs, blindfolds, and feathers. They regularly buy dvd’s, costumes and props at The Pleasure Chest in West Hollywood.”

Kim and Kayne are designing a $200,000 nursery. A source tells Showbiz Spy, “Kim and Kanye are looking to spend around $200,000 on a nursery. Kanye wants it to be really cool, with 3D mirages on the walls and a lunar star show on the ceiling. He’s also got his eye on a stroller with an inbuilt soundsystem and the 14-carat white gold diamond-encrusted pacifier that Jay-Z and Beyonce‘s daughter has.”

Ricky Gervais won't be attending the Golden Globes. He says, “I’ve got to fly back. I start filming the new Muppet movie next week. I enjoyed the last three Golden Globes immensely. To be the most feared man in Hollywood for three hours was such fun.”

Twentieth Century Fox has announced plans for a "Fantastic Four" reboot. Mark Millar, the guy behind "Kick Ass" and the upcoming "Kick Ass 2," tells SciFiNow he's been hired as a creative consultant on the film and it's going to be much more "contemporary" than the previous two "Fantastic Four" movies.

Selena Gomez is helping Taylor Swift get over Harry Styles. A source tells Showbiz Spy, “Taylor and Selena Gomez are definitely planning some girl nights. Taylor said Harry Styles was a jerk, and said really mean things to her. Selena told her that they were better than those losers, so they can’t wait to have a bunch of girls over and dance it out! Taylor knows she’s far more high-profile in America and way richer, and saw her career as more important. She always brushed off his schedule and needs and put hers first. When he complained his bandmates were getting irritated and she should do more to make things work, they started to yell crazy things. Taylor even yelled he was lucky to be with her. There were also problems over commitment. Harry wasn’t committed enough for her liking.''

John Mayer may move in with Katy Perry. A source tells Showbiz Spy, “John wants to take his relationship with Katy to the next level. He has suggested to Katy that they get a place of their own. He feels like she’s the one for him and wants to commit himself fully. John is really into architecture and wants to create a ‘sanctuary’ for himself and Katy.”

Madonna has shaved $5 million off the selling price of her Beverly Hills home. The $22.5 million mansion features nine bedrooms, two living rooms, a formal dining room, a home cinema, a huge kitchen, multiple offices, a gym, and an art studio.

Psy will star in a "Gangnam Style"-themed Super Bowl ad promoting pistachios.

Adele is working on a new CD. A source tells Heat magazine, "Adele is making a start on another album after going off the radar since giving birth. Even though she's been busy enjoying family life with Simon and the baby, she's also been writing during her time off, so arrived at the studio ready to start working hard straight away. The album could even be released later this year.''

Keith Urban says the Nicki Minaj-Mariah Carey feud was bound to happen on American Idol. ''First of all, it's four passionate people who really care about the artists. Secondly, it's four people who just got thrown onto a dance floor without any sort of choreography and were told 'dance together.' So some toes get stepped on - and we're figuring it out.''

He added, ''Randy and Ryan are huge personalities. I do my best to keep them civil. Oh, and Mariah and Nicki are in there, too.''

Mariah Carey jokingly says, ''Keith Urban and Randy Jackson have gotten into some verbal spats as well. They fight constantly. I find it offensive."
