Save Your Receipts: Manti Te'o says the flowers he sent to Lennay Kekua's family on the day she died proves he was duped and not apart of the hoax. The 1-800-FLOWERS receipt reads: “My dearest Lennay, although our time together was brief, I feel like I’ve known you all of my life. Till we meet again. I love you, Manti.”

Manti tells Katie Couric, “Katie, put yourself in my situation. I, my whole world told me that she died on September 12. Everybody knew that. This girl, who I committed myself to, died on September 12. Now I get a phone call on December 6, saying that she’s alive, and then I’m going be put on national TV two days later. And to ask me about the same question. You know, what would you do?”

Dancing Behind Bars: Lindsay Lohan has rejected a $550,000 offer to compete on Dancing with the Stars.

** UPDATE **

A source tells Perez Hilton, “Lindsay has been a mess on movie sets lately. She doesn’t show up on time, she keeps everyone waiting and so her team decided that there was no way that she could handle the pressure of a live show like Dancing with the Stars. Lindsay operates on her own schedule, and there would be no way that anyone could guarantee that she would be on time for rehearsals or the shows, and they’re live so it would be horrible if she didn’t show up! A live show and Lindsay? That would not be smart!''

Easy Ways To Kickstart Your Metabolism from health.com

Think: Strong We all know weight-lifting builds muscle, and the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn. What you may not realize is that the calorie burn continues long after your last rep. In a study at Southern Illinois University, exercisers who did a 15-minute resistance routine burned 100 extra calories a day for three days afterward. Strength training causes micro trauma to the muscles. Your body has to rebuild the muscle. It does that by torching additional protein and carbs. Boost your fat burning: Three days a week, do 1 to 3 sets each of five resistance exercises (think push-ups and squats).

Lift First, Do Cardio Second Exercisers who pumped iron 20 minutes before cycling melted more fat than those who didn't lift or those who waited longer between lifting and doing cardio. So move right from the hand weights to that bike or treadmill.

Spice Things Up That beyond-hot mustard that comes with Asian takeout can rev your metabolism by 20 to 25 percent. It boosts production of fat-burning hormones. Try adding one teaspoon to your usual vinaigrette.

Include Intervals Cyclists who pedaled at an all-out effort with high resistance for a total of five 30-second sprints (that's just 2.5 minutes!) burned a whopping 200 calories, according to recent Colorado State University research. Don't forget to recover between intervals: Here participants recouped with four minutes of slow pedaling with low resistance after each burst. Changing the intensity forces your muscles to work harder.

Guzzle H20 It will keep your metab humming when you're just bumming around. In a University of Utah study, participants who downed eight to 12 glasses of water a day burned more calories at rest than those who drank four. Water not your cup of tea? Freeze bits of peeled citrus fruit and use them in place of ice cubes.

Baby Got Back

A Russian study says the shape of your butt can reveal your personality.

Men with Muscle Butts are: strong, persistent and enduring in bed.

Women with Round Butts are: sexually active, materialistic and unkind.

Those With Wrinkly Butts are: reliable, steady and calm, whereas asymmetrical wrinkles expose selfish and greedy people.

Those Who Have Saddlebag Butts are: faithful in love and marriage. Men and women with such buttocks are hopelessly mediocre individuals.

Women with Saggy Butts are: good wives and careful mothers.

People With Uneven Butts: those whose left buttock is larger than the right one, have to contract marriage as early as possible - it is terribly unhealthy for them to stay single. On the other hand, the people, whose right buttock is larger than the left one, will have to face a lot of serious problems in their lives (career problems for men and child birth problems for women).

Those With Hairy Butts are: very kind and agreeable people, although they also expose their genetic predisposition to illnesses of pelvic organs, first and foremost. One should also bear in mind the fact that parents, who have hairy buttocks, give birth to psychologically unbalanced, short-tempered children. The combination of red hair on the head and black hair on the buttocks may occur for talented and highly emotional people. Grey bottom hair is a vestige of premature impotence for men, whereas red hair reveals their depraved nature.

Those with Birthmarks on their Butt are: courageous and passionate people.

No Soup For You: MisoSoupDesign has created a Ramen Noodles soup bowl that features a built-in iPhone dock. Designer Minnie Jan says she got the idea for the bowl after watching a man in public. "He just couldn't let the phone go! We thought it would be a good idea to help him restore his manners. It allows you to easily slurp and spoon noodles while listening to music and browsing the Internet. If you're afraid of getting your screen messy you're probably not looking at it while eating, anyway.''

Angelina Jolie tells E! her kids enjoyed eating crickets in Cambodia. "My boys love to eat crickets. It's their favorite thing. They ate them like Doritos... I had to actually ban the cricket eating at some point, because I was afraid they were gonna get sick from too many. But they're good-they are like a potato chip."

Arnold Schwarzenegger is doing Terminator 5. He says, ''They're writing right now 'Terminator 5'. There have been some writers on it for the last year-and-a-half and they could not pull it off. We have told them over and over that they are going in the wrong direction, now they've finally got rid of those writers and they've got new really quality writers. Now they're going in the right direction. I think this year the script will be finished and we will be able to go into pre-production.''

Daniel Craig would one day like to see Robert Pattinson replace him as James Bond. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Daniel told Rob he’d make a brilliant Bond and would like to see a young talented British actor take on the role. Daniel’s signed on for two more Bond movies but is convinced he’ll do no more — for one thing, he hopes to start a family with Rachel soon and wants to focus on that. Daniel really admires how Robert has handled the intense scrutiny of his personal life — he and Rachel are obsessively private. He really felt for Rob when Kristen Stewart’s cheating played out in the media. To go through that, but also maintain a level of professionalism and carry on working, shows amazing strength of character.”

Excerpt from Cissy Houston's new memoir, ''Remembering Whitney.''

Cissy writes: "She started partying and she didn't really know how to stop. I used to wonder what she was doing at night, where she was. Whitney hid from me. I didn't want her to run completely away from me. I'm angry she died alone, in those conditions. I'm still mad about that."

On Bobby Brown: "I blame him for the way he treated her, but I don't blame him for her drug problems. He was no help to her at all."

A source says they met during the filming of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. “Jeremy is delighted he’s going to become a dad. He realizes it’s unconventional to have his baby mama, an ex-girlfriend, living with him and his roommate, but he just doesn’t care.”

Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans has filed assault charges against her husband. Her attorney, Dustin Sullivan, tells E!, "She has taken charges out on Courtland Rogers, her husband. The charges are assault on a female with an unborn child. She made the charges. They are the highest level of misdemeanor you can get. He faces a maximum 150 days in jail per charge. She was physically assaulted over a period of time. She will be a victim in the case and will be represented by the State of North Carolina. I have seen her in much better spirits in the past. She seems to be very concerned about her general health and well-being. She is not upbeat at all. She is going through a very difficult time right now." Evans Tweeted: "I am getting a divorce, ASAP. YOU F--KING LEAVE OUT OF TOWN AND I MIGHT BE HAVING A MISCARRIAGE?! F--K U, U F--KING PIECE OF S--T."

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles have reconciled. A source tells Showbiz Spy, “Taylor realized she was being a bit full-on. She is now more relaxed about their relationship. She intends to enjoy it more rather than worry about where it could eventually lead. Harry is not the sort of guy you can’t stay mad at for long. She’s given him some space and it’s done them both a world of good. What happened over New Year is now a distant memory.”

Elton John has been helping Adele battle her stage fright. A source tells NOW magazine, ''Adele's desperate to overcome her nerves. It's been several months since she last played live, so this is going to be a tough gig for her. 'But Elton's offered to sit with her and give her counseling.''

Aerosmith has released "Can't Stop Lovin' You," a duet with Carrie Underwood.
