For years it was common knowledge that Matt Lauer spent every morning [s - - ting] all over Ann Curry.” A source says, “Chelsea’s writers were warned to lay off Matt.

Why Sex Is Good For You from cosmopolitan.com

Okay, we know sex is all about maxing out your pleasure. But it turns out it’s good for your health, too. Check out the following and happy sex time:

It Boosts Your Brain Sex increases your bod's dopamine levels—the hormone that improves your memory and motivation.

It Burns Calories Don't feel like hitting the gym? Grab your guy and head to the bedroom. A 30-minute romp in the sheets can burn upwards of 150 calories. That's like running a mile on the treadmill!

It Destresses You We're all stressed to the max—and all that worry releases the stress hormone cortisol. The problem with cortisol? Having too much of it in your blood stream can lead to everything from high blood sugar to weight gain. When you get your freak on, it helps you relax, lowering the stress levels in your bod.

It Keeps You Healthy Regular sex with your guy can actually prevent colds, thanks to the hormone prolactin. This hormone has an important role in strengthening your immune system by increasing the production of T and B lymphocytes (aka immune cells). We'll take that over chicken soup any day.

It Helps You Sleep When you have sex, the cuddle hormone oxytocin is released. That increases your bond with your guy, but it also helps you sleep.

What To Do When You Got The Flu from msnbc.com

ANTIVIRALS: There are two prescription drugs on the market that work against influenza. Tamiflu is a pill, and Relenza is an inhaled powder, and both can cut about a day or two off the time spent in bed with flu. They can also keep patients from getting dangerously ill. Both must be taken within a day or so of when symptoms start to be effective.

ANALGESICS: Pain and fever relieving medications such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen – sold under brand names such as Motrin, Advil, Tylenol and others – can reduce fever and help with muscle aches. Patients with asthma, high blood pressure or other chronic conditions should check with a doctor before taking them. Children should never be given aspirin – it can cause a deadly reaction called Reyes Syndrome.

FLUIDS: Dehydration is a special risk when people are ill and feverish. The Health and Human Services Department recommends plenty of clear fluids such as water, broth or sports drinks. If you have an upset stomach, try sipping through a straw. The really sick may suck on small ice cubes or ice pops. And drinking can soothe a sore throat.

OVER-THE-COUNTER REMEDIES: Decongestants and antihistamines can help the most annoying symptoms of a cold or the flu – the runny or congested nose and some cough caused by post-nasal drip. Antihistamines can also help many people sleep. Cough drops or hard candies can soothe a scratchy throat, although they should not be given to young children who might choke. Cough remedies containing the suppressant dextromethorphan may help but most contain too little to do much good.

STAY HOME AND REST: If you have symptoms of flu or a bad cold, or another virus such as norovirus, the best thing you can do for yourself and others is stay home and rest. You won’t spread your germs that way and you’re unlikely to be effective at work or school, anyway. And if you’re caring for someone who is infected, keeping the patient confined to one room and keeping that room clean can help prevent the spread of infection. Humidifiers or a steamy shower may help people breathe more easily. And gargling with warm salt water can also soothe a sore throat.

Fix-A-Dent: Nermin Keating is ok after swallowing her dentures. The 75 year-old Londoner went to four different doctors before one noticed the teeth lodged in her lower esophogus. Her daughter, Umit, says, ''It's a miracle that mum even survived for so long with the dentures down her throat. I can't quite believe what has happened - I was just so relieved when they came out.

3 100 Little Pigs: A London woman recently called animal control after 100 guinea pigs overran her home. The unnamed woman started off with just two four years ago, but they bred relentlessly.

Even though his accountants think he’s crazy, he’s ready to sign the pre-nup and set a wedding date. The guy has never recovered from being dumped by Elin. He’s dated lots of models and bimbos, but none of them were more than a one night stand. Tiger swore that he’d never cheat on her again, but Elin told him that she didn’t believe him. iger even got down on one knee and proposed, presenting Elin with a ring for Christmas. Tiger stopped by Elin’s rental house one afternoon when their kids were out with a nanny and they had sex for the first time since the split. It took them both by surprise, but they’ve continued to find alone time when they’re both at their homes in Florida.''

Ryan Gosling refers to his muscles as "pets." He says, "Anyone can get those if they work at it. It's just a lot of exercising. And it's really quite pointless, because you go to a gym and you lift a heavy thing so a muscle grows, but the only thing the muscle can actually do is to lift that heavy thing. After a while they're like pets because they don't do anything useful. But you have to feed them and take care of them otherwise they'll go away. I feel a bit goofy having them, to tell you the truth.''

 Jason Trawick won't be getting any money from Britney Spears. A source tells RADAR Online, “Jason devoted a few years of his life to be Britney’s main caretaker, and a year to being her legal co-conservator, but is walking away from the relationship with nothing but the money he earned from The X Factor and that is totally okay by him.

Jason made a good living and was super successful before he and Britney hooked up and he is confident that he is going to be successful again. He has even more connections now and is trying to figure out the next step in his career, which may or may not be in management.

Lady GaGa may purchase the Neverland Ranch. A source tells the Sun, “Lady Gaga is obsessed with Michael,” said the source, which would certainly explain her recent extravagant expenditure. If Gaga did invest in the property, it could potentially help Michael’s kids out with their investment for the future.

A source tells Showbiz Spy, ''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 see 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.”

LeAnn Rimes has thought about Eddie Cibrian cheating on her. She tells ET, "Everyone else would think I am a liar if I didn't say yes, and I have at times. It's definitely creeped into my mind, as it would anyone's. I think we've been very honest and open with that to each other, and our conversations about it have only made me understand how much he actually cares, as much as I do, about being faithful to each other. Where I'm at in my relationship with Eddie, that is not a worry that's in the front of my mind."

Kelly Clarkson is looking forward to American Idol. She tells Country Vibe, “Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey are both big personalities, but at the same time they’re also both writers and entertainers and performers and singers.

I just think it’s kind of cool for these kids, me being one of them at one point, to get to see and hear from people who are actually experiencing what they might experience one day. It makes you want to pay attention more, I think, as somebody auditioning.”

Carrie Underwood will perform at the Grammys

Elton John and David Furnish have named their new son Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John.

It is difficult to fully express how we are feeling at this time; we are just overwhelmed with happiness and excitement.''

** UPDATE **

A source tells the Daily Mail, ''They named their new baby Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John after Elton’s 1973 hit “Daniel.” The song features the lyrics, ”Daniel my brother, you are older than me…Daniel you’re a star.” Elton and David named both their boys after songs. It’s a lovely touch – especially because Daniel is about two brothers.''

 U2 is recording again. Bono says, "U2 have been back and they're really in fine fettle. They’re mad for it at the moment and they really want to make a new record.

Within the band we’ve been calling it '10 Reasons To Exist' – but I will tell you we might have at least six of them."
