Simon Says: Deadline Hollywood has confirmed Britney Spears is leaving The X Factor. A source says, “The producers and Simon (Cowell) were having discussions over the holiday period about the year ahead. Britney had never been part of their plans for this year but realistically that was never going to come as a surprise to her either. I hear Cowell and his team have a pretty clear idea of the panel they would like for next season and discussions with one possible new judge have been going on for some time now.”
7 Diet-Busting Foods You Should Never Eat from health.com
Smoothie King's Hulk Strawberry Smoothie Fruit and yogurt can't be bad, right? Wrong. Smoothies are often made with ice cream or milk and can be crammed with sugar. At least this treat gives you a heads up: It's listed on the menu as a smoothie for people looking to gain weight. But the calories are excessive—more than two Big Macs put together. And that's just the small. One 20-ounce smoothie: 1,044 calories, 35g fat, 120g sugar. Choose this instead: Low-Carb Strawberry smoothie: 268 calories, 9g fat, 3g sugar.
Starbucks' Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino Blended Creme with Whipped Cream Sure it sounds bad, but how bad is it? This afternoon pick-me-up delivers nearly one-third of the maximum fat you should consume in a day, and over half a day's saturated fat. One 16-ounce Grande: 510 calories; 19g fat, 11g saturated; 59g sugar; 300mg sodium. Choose this instead: Your best bet is a regular cup of coffee without all the bells and whistles. If you just can't live without a Frappuccino, make it a Coffee Frappuccino Light Blended Coffee: 130 calories, 0.5g fat, 16g sugar.
Coldstone's PB&C Shake Chances are you already suspect that milkshakes aren't all that healthy. But this particular shake, made with chocolate ice cream, milk, and peanut butter, is in a class of its own. This frosty monster delivers an entire day's worth of calories and almost three and a half times the daily limit for saturated fat. One "Gotta Have It" (Coldstone speak for "large"): 2,010 calories; 131g fat, 68g saturated; 153g sugar. Choose this instead: A better bet is the 16-ounce Sinless Oh Fudge! Shake, with the same chocolaty taste, but a quarter of the calories and only 2 grams of fat.
Auntie Anne's Jumbo Pretzel Dog Auntie Anne's sells snacks, not meals. But this concoction—a Nathan's hot dog wrapped in a pretzel bun—contains almost half your daily upper limit of fat and sodium. One Jumbo Pretzel Dog with butter: 610 calories; 29g fat, 13g saturated; 1,150mg sodium. Choose this instead: Go for the original pretzel without the butter and salt and you'll whittle your treat down to 310 calories and only 1 gram of fat. Now that's more like a snack!
Cinnabon's Caramel Pecanbon The luring scent of Cinnabon is a mall staple. But just one of these decadent pastries means trouble. They deliver about half the calories and just about all the fat you should consume in a day. One bun: 1,092 calories, 56g fat, 47g sugar. Choose this instead: Cinnabon has no options that are particularly healthy, but you can try a Minibon, designed for smaller—and smarter—appetites: 300 calories, 11g fat.
Wendy's Sweet and Spicy Boneless Wings In June, Wendy's launched this item, claiming it was "as far as it gets from fast food." Calorie-wise, this meal isn't that bad if it makes up your entire lunch. But it has more salt than you should have in a day, let alone at one sitting. One order: 550 calories, 18g fat, 27g sugar, 2,530mg sodium. Choose this instead: Try the Ultimate Chicken Grill, a grilled chicken breast on a sesame-seed bun: 320 calories, 7g fat, 8g sugar. Still, with 950 milligrams of sodium, don't make it a daily habit.
Dunkin' Donuts' Coffee Cake Muffin Muffins are often mistaken for the doughnut's healthy cousin. But muffins can be surprisingly high in fat. This one is particularly offensive; you'd need to eat about three glazed donuts to match its nutrients and calories. One muffin: 620 calories; 25g fat, 7g saturated; 54g sugar; 93g carbs. Choose this instead: For an alternative—but equally decadent—breakfast treat, one glazed donut is a better bet: 220 calories, 9g fat, 12g sugar, 31g carbs.

Which Sleep Style Is Healthiest from health.com
The Best: Back Position Good for: Preventing neck and back pain, reducing acid reflux, minimizing wrinkles, maintaining perky breasts Bad for: Snoring The scoop: Sleeping on your back makes it easy for your head, neck, and spine to maintain a neutral position. You’re not forcing any extra curves into your back. If the head is elevated, your stomach will be below your esophagus so acid or food can’t come back up.
Back Sleepers: Consider This Snoring is usually most frequent and severe when sleeping on the back: One puffy one. The goal is to keep your head and neck supported without propping your head up too much.
Next Best: Side Position Good for: Preventing neck and back pain, reducing acid reflux, snoring less, sleeping during pregnancy Bad for: Your skin and your breasts The scoop: Side-sleeping is great for overall health—it reduces snoring and keeps your spine elongated. If you suffer from acid reflux, this is the next best thing to sleeping on your back. The downside: Sleeping on your side can cause you to get wrinkles. Blame all that smushing of one side of your face into the pillow.
Side Sleepers: Consider This If you’re pregnant, sleep on your left side. It’s ideal for blood flow. Perfect pillow: A thick one. You need to fill the space above your shoulder so your head and neck are supported in a neutral position.
Not Ideal: Fetal Position Good for: Snoring less, sleeping during pregnancy Bad for: Preventing neck and back pain, minimizing wrinkles, maintaining perky breasts The scoop: When you snooze with your knees pulled up high and chin tucked into your chest, you may feel it in the morning, especially if you have an arthritic back or joints.
Fetal-Position Sleepers: Consider This Just straighten out a bit—try not to tuck your body into an extreme curl. Perfect pillow: One plump pillow—the same as side position, to give your head and neck support.
Snakes On A Plane: Passengers aboard a Qantas flight recently received a shock when they saw a 9-foot python slithering on the wing. The scrub python was trying to sneak under the wing, but kept getting dragged back out by the wind. It eventually died because of the subzero temperatures.
Ryan Gosling's 'Gangster Squad' costume gave him a nasty rash. He says, ''The wool was quite itchy, so I had a rash. I channelled that irritation into my hatred for the gangsters.''
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are selling their New York loft for $24.5 million. They paid $9.5 million for it. It features a gourmet kitchen with two dishwashers, a home gym, a media room and a roof deck.
Mariah Carey is on a purple diet. A source tells NOW magazine, ''She began the plan - which involves eating only purple foods three days a week - to shed the Christmas pounds. It's all about foods like plums, red grapes and aubergine. Her favorite meal is a Cajun-spiced aubergine dish that her husband Nick [Cannon] makes. She's lost 10lb, and loves it because for she can eat whatever she wants the rest of the time!''
Demi Moore is allegedly planning an extreme makeover. A source tells NOW magazine, ''Demi's no stranger to surgery, but this time she's looking at non-surgical procedures, from the latest in lasers and freezing fat technology to holing up for a week at one of the many clinic/spa/hotels that are the latest buzz in California. She wants to look hot, find a new man and get her career back on track - but unfortunately she has it in her head that the only way to get this is to make herself look younger.''
Life & Style Weekly claims Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's relationship is strained. A source says, “Things with them aren’t good. They’ve been fighting a lot. Rob isn’t happy. It’s just a matter of time before he ends this.”
Robert wants to own a pub. He says, ''I would love to own a pub in London at some point...I wouldn't want to buy a pub that was all trendy and done Gastro style food, I just want a real working men's pub. I probably wouldn't even go public that I owned it. I wouldn't want it to become the sort of place people went to spot celebrities. I just want it to be a real pub where men discuss the issues of the day. The UK is the home of pubs, and we need to make sure we protect them. Every time I am back home and see that a local pub has closed down it actually makes me sad. The local can be the focal point of the community, and if we lose them we lose one of the things that is greatest about Britain.''
The Express UK claims Janet Jackson will receive $500,000 if she leaves her billionaire fiance Wissam Al Mana. A source says, “Janet will be marrying into the sort of wealth not even her brother Michael managed to amass during his lifetime of success. She’s looking forward to a fairytale life with Wissam.”
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are house hunting in Chicago. A source tells InTouch Weekly, “They’re looking to buy a place together in Chicago. The couple fell in love with the Windy City while visiting during Christmas and have been busy checking out real estate ever since. They want a turn-key apartment overlooking Lake Michigan. Ashton and Mila also love that Chicago isn’t too far from Ashton’s hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where his family still lives.
Kid Rock is disappointed with Maroon 5. He tells Classic Rock magazine, ''So many people don't [evolve as artists] - they just go for the common denominator. I thought that when Maroon 5 came out they were making some pretty good music and now they've just become pop artists, its disappointing man. You hit that pop stardom, man, you find out one day that they don't give a flying f**k about your ass.
Maroon 5's Adam Levine was recently playing craps in Vegas when he won $10,000. A source tells the National Enquirer he gave the cash to his assistant and told her: ''I want this money to go to your little sister's college fund.''
Destiny's Child is releasing a new song on their upcoming love song compilation CD. Beyonce writes, "I am so proud to announce the first original Destiny's Child music in eight years!" The group will perform at the Super Bowl.
Justin Bieber and Harry Styles are planning a Vegas trip. A source tells the Sun, “The lads talked about a boys’ trip when they were going out with the girls, but it was never in the cards. Now they’re footloose and fancy-free, they want to make it happen. They might not be old enough to legally drink but that won’t stop them. They can afford to rent an entire floor of one of the big hotels like the Wynn. There’s talk of making it a proper boys’ holiday, with the rest of 1D and their mates.”
Justin Bieber's former bodyguard Moshe Benabou is suing him. He says the singer punched him, berated him and owes him $420,000 in unpaid overtime. A Bieber source tells TMZ, ''Moshe is nothing more than a "disgruntled employee looking for money. They say the claim that Bieber struck him is "absurd."
Selena Gomez is allegedly writing songs about her breakup with Justin Bieber. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Justin was so mean to Selena that she can’t wait to spill all the s**t about him in her new songs. All his flirting and all his…bulls**t are on the table. Her fans will be shocked about how much of a bada** she can be when she’s out for revenge.”
Another source says, “Justin is super needy and can be a big baby around Selena. It’s hard for him to make real friends because he likes the temporary attention of strangers, but didn’t realize how it hurt Selena. Selena didn’t feel Justin was respectful of their relationship. She was constantly catching him in positions with other girls that would make her uncomfortable. She would get super jealous. Selena is Justin’s first love and he’s still young enough that he desperately tries to make it work. But Selena is mature enough to just know when to end it and be realistic that it isn’t working. They’re both better off to just move on and go their separate ways. Selena absolutely won’t get back with Justin unless he makes some drastic changes in his life.''
Keith Urban loves American Idol. He says, “I love creative people and I love what this show can do for people that otherwise are trying to find a way in. You guys out there know, people who sing or play, you’re just looking for a break. You’re just figuring out, ‘How can I get someone to listen to what I do?’ And this show does it — on steroids.”
