Grey Lingerie: Victoria’s Secret is launching a Fifty Shades of Grey lingerie line. Victoria’s Secret rep Carly Parod tells Celeb Dirty Laundry, “We want to take the Fifty Shades line and branch out. The erotic novels are seen by many as ‘mommy porn’, so we want to make this exclusive underwear line accessible to women of all shapes and sizes. In the past, Victoria’s Secret has only catered for women of a certain type, but the Fifty Shades line will change all of this. Now women from all walks of life will be able to both afford and wear our underwear feeling as sexy as they should be!”

 

Fan-atic: New England Patriots fan Victor Thompson turned his head into a human helmet. He shaved his dome and then had a tattoo artist ink the Pats logo on the side of his head. Vic says, “It was something that popped into my head. I was watching the game and I said I want my head to look like Tom Brady’s helmet.”

 

Swift Move: Taylor Swift allegedly asked Jennifer Lawrence to introduce her to Bradley Cooper. A source tells RADAR Online, “Bradley has absolutely no intention of getting together with Taylor. First of all, her reputation precedes her. Bradley is very wary of dating someone who is a bit of a serial dater like Taylor. He thinks she’s far too young for him and wants to date someone his own age, not 16-years younger because he’s ready for something serious. It was a little awkward for Bradley . Jennifer came to him and told him that Taylor was interested in getting together. He had to politely decline, knowing full well that Jennifer and Taylor are friends. It was an ambitious move from Taylor, but she’s going to have fixate on someone else as Bradley’s just not that into her.''

The 8 People You Should Never Be Friends With On Facebook from thefrisky.com

1.) Your Babysitter/Nanny: You don't need to see her in a bikini and feel bad about yourself. Also, it would only make you paranoid: Is she is Facebooking when with my kids? Also, if we were friends on Facebook, you wouldn't spew about her to my friends with privacy. What fun is that?

2.) Personal Trainer: Nope. He doesn't need to know you ate that whole cheesecake and derailed his work. Better we just hang in the gym, thanks!

3.) Your Priest or Rabbi: They don't need to see our sins. Or photos of us in bathing suits. Or anything our friends tag us in. Just no.

4.) Your Husband's Ex-Girlfriend: This should be obvious, but in case it's not, this is a big no. Why do you ever need to go down that comparison spiral? Is she cuter than me? Is she smarter? Is her new hubby hotter? Just stop!

5.) Your Boss: It's just awkward. Talking about work on Facebook is generally a no-no anyway, but this is a bad idea.

6.) Your Insane Ex: This may seem like closure and like a great plan that will make you guys be friends. But it won't. He's crazy and he will STILL be crazy after he unfriends you a few weeks from now.

7.) Your Baby Daddy/Mama: Too. Much. Drama. Those thinly veiled, passive insults and barbs thrown back and forth in status updates.

8.) Your High School Bully: Look, you didn't like him in high school when he was calling you names or pushing you in a locker. So you SURE as hell aren't going to like him now. Even if his life is a mess and it gives you a thrill to be able to watch and mock him, this is just bad news. Hit "ignore" on his request and put high school behind you.

Where Are The Most Germs In Restaurants from xfinity.comcast.net

3. Lemon Wedges One of the most frequently occurring contaminants in the test results was fecal matter. Half of the lemon wedges tested were tainted with human waste. How does fecal matter get on lemons in the first place? Cameras caught restaurant workers grabbing lemons with their bare hands, reaching in again and again without gloves or tongs. If they haven’t washed their hands well after using the bathroom, germs spread.

2. Menus The bacteria that cause staph infections runs rampant on them. The germs that cause strep throat, beware!

1. Seats Seventy percent of the chair seats tested have bad bacteria on them — 17 different kinds, including strains of E. coli. Why? All customers sit on them, and most restaurants don’t think to sanitize them.

Music Education: London's Bishop Auckland College is offering an X Factor audition course to help singers prepare for the show's auditions. Professor Mike Jinks says, "I wanted to run a course which prepared people for X Factor auditions and similar competitions. Many applicants have talent but need to work on key things such as their singing technique and confidence. People auditioning also need to know X Factor winners don't ust walk in there blind. It is not about just wandering in, singing a song and you're famous. Most applicants have been doing the rounds for years working really hard, it's very rare that you get a Susan Boyle character. The course is about giving people real, transferable skills. The biggest thing they will get out of it is confidence, whether this is for a future singing audition or a job interview. There are plenty of colleges running this qualification but as far as I am aware none of them have designed the course around the X Factor."

 

 

Ryan Gosling enjoys knitting. He says, ''I did this scene in Lars and the Real Girl where I was in a room full of old ladies who were knitting, and it was an all-day scene, so they showed me how. It was one of the most relaxing days of my life. If I had to design my perfect day, that would be it. And you get something out of it at the end. You get a nice present. For someone who wants an oddly shaped, off-putting scarf.''

 

Megan Fox wants more kids. She says, "I'm just happy I got the opportunity to do it (be a mum). I was very overwhelmed with the intensity of the emotions I felt when I had him... and Brian is jealous because I love him so much. I want more kids. I'm so tired (and) I don't know if my body could do it right now, but if it happens, it happens. He (husband) wants a little girl."

 

Ben Affleck and JLo chatted at the Golden Globes. A source tells the Sun Times, “Hey, Ben and Jen have been happily married for seven years and have three kids. … J. Lo has both been married, divorced and has kids of her own — and seems to be happy in her current relationship. … These are very smart adults who have moved on with their lives and bear no grudges about that chapter in their lives.''

 

 

 

Honey Boo Boo's Uncle Poodle is HIV-Positive. Lee Thompson says, I was adamant about getting my HIV status checked on a regular basis. On March 16, 2012, I tested negative. Then, in May of 2012 my test results came back positive. I knew it had been my boyfriend who infected me. I later learned he had been HIV positive and was not taking medication and had not bothered to tell me about it. I was advised that I should press charges and, hesitantly, I did. It was the right thing to do. He is serving a 5-year sentence. I would have been cool with his HIV status if he had been honest. I don’t have an issue with the disease. I would have known how to protect myself.''

 

 

Gabrielle Union says Zoe Saldana is over Bradley Cooper. She tells People magazine, ''She's awesome. Our girl time is usually spent singing, drinking and dancing, and that's exactly what we did on New Year's Eve.''

 

 

Angelina Jolie's dad, Jon Voight, isn't sure when she will marry Brad Pitt. He tells E!, ''Actually, I don't know. I'm not like that with them. You know, I've heard the rumors and so and so and what's going on. No, I'm not like that. I'm happy when I see them, we play with the children and that's it.''

 

 

Jessica Simpson is going to star in a new NBC show based on her life. She says, ''I am so excited to work with Ben and NBC again, this time on a scripted comedy. I often find myself thinking that no one could ever make up the things that actually happen in my life -- so between the real-life elements and a great team of writers, I think we'll have people laughing!''

 

John Travolta and Olivia Newton John are planning to record more holiday songs. He says, "The thing is, we're going to try to add a couple of songs every year to that CD. And then maybe do a music video each year so, at the end of it all, we'll have a whole collection."

 

Jennifer Lawrence on what her brothers taught her while they were growing up: “You cup [your fart] and then you throw it in someone’s face and say ‘Take a bite out of that cheeseburger.’” (PEREZ HILTON)

 

 

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have allegedly split up again. A source tells the Sun, “She flew to LA and was supposed to be Rob’s date for the Golden Globes, but he told her he wants to cool it off. He loves her but would rather go back to being good friends so they can rebuild their trust and focus on work after Twilight. Kristen’s upset but understands. She shouldn’t have pushed him to reconcile after her infidelity. She’s hoping he’ll come round and time will be a great healer. He was getting so much pressure to ditch her. His friends told him to focus on his career and said she was wrecking his chances.”

 

 

 

John Mayer may propose to Katy Perry. A source tells Heat magazine, "John is serious about Katy, that's for certain. He has never imagined settling down with someone, but he's infatuated with her. They have the same sense of humor, they love the same music and they love to travel together. And, of course, she's beautiful. Although John's got a reputation as a ladies' man all of their friends completely approve because he's so dedicated. He was looking at rings before Christmas and was making enquiries about getting one specially made."

 

 

Nicki Minaj isn't holding a grudge against Mariah Carey. She says, “We’re fine now. I cannot hold a grudge against Mariah Carey. What people don’t understand is that I’ve looked up to her for so many years…I don’t know if she’s gotten over it, but I have. I mean, I’m over there cracking up, laughing, having fun. So if she’s still holding a grudge, I don’t know. I don’t care.''

 

Journey is going to perform at the Super Bowl. Arnel Pineda, who replaced Steve Perry as the band's lead singer, says, “Beyonce will sing at halftime, and we’ll be playing with Rascal Flatts before the football game starts.''

 

Elton John and David Furnish have named their new son Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John. Elton says, ''Both of us have longed to have children, but the reality that we now have two sons is almost unbelievable. The birth of our second son completes our family in a most precious and perfect way. It is difficult to fully express how we are feeling at this time; we are just overwhelmed with happiness and excitement.''
