NAZZY'S RANDOM STUFF

A GUY WEARING A BREATHALYZER COSTUME WAS ARRESTED ON HALLOWEEN FOR DRUNK DRIVING:

Halloween was Saturday night, and no matter what you did, I hope you all had a great time. But mostly, I hope you didn't do anything as stupid as 18-year-old James Miller of Oxford, Ohio.

For Halloween, James dressed up as a BREATHALYZER. --He was heading home from a party at about 1:30 A.M., when he was pulled over for driving the wrong way down a one-way street, with the remains of a case of Bud Light in the car.

James blew a .158 on his breathalyzer test, which is nearly twice the legal limit, and was arrested for driving under the influence. Of course, being underage, James shouldn't have even been drinking, or driving around with beer at all. But you get the picture.

HERE ARE TEN WAYS TO PAY YOUR DATE AN ORIGINAL COMPLIMENT:

How many times has this happened? You're out on a date with someone you like, and you want to pay them a compliment. But you don't want to use the same tired line every other jerk uses.
Well, the people over at Match.com feel your pain, and they've come up with a list of ten ways to compliment your date, without coming across as an unoriginal tool. Check it out:

#1.) Focus on what they haven't heard before: If your date has nice hair, she probably knows it. So either come up with a new way to compliment her hair, or bypass the "obvious" qualities in favor of something less appreciated . . . like her posture.

#2.) Look for cues: The question isn't "What do YOU notice about your date?" It's "What do you think your date WANTS YOU to notice?" In other words, identify what seems to be important to your date, and focus on complimenting those things.

#3.) Get specific: Vague, general compliments mean absolutely nothing. So instead of telling a girl she's "pretty," identify a specific, more subtle trait . . . like, say, her sultry voice. The rule of thumb is the more specific the compliment, the more likely it is to strike a chord.

#4.) "That color looks great on you": Apparently, women love this one. I'm not quite sure why. But it seems to signify your attraction, as well as demonstrate your eye for good style.

#5.) Compliment their home: If it's clear your date has spent a lot of time and energy setting up her place, then chances are she wants you to notice and appreciate her efforts.

#6.) Acknowledge their friends: If you get the chance to meet your date's friends, you have to show them some love . . . even if they're annoying. Why? Because would you date someone if all your friends hated them?

#7.) "You must spend hours at the gym": The only way this compliment can misfire is if your date clearly DOESN'T go to the gym. Otherwise, you can't miss. Why?

Because if they DO go to the gym, they'll appreciate that you noticed their efforts. And if they DON'T, you're still complimenting their superior genes. There's nothing wrong with that.

#8.) Beware the lewd and suggestive: At the end of the date, or sometime soon, you're hoping for sex. That goes without saying. But there's no better way to make sure that never happens than to use lewd or suggestive euphemisms. It's just creepy.

#9.) Never say "I like you": Why? Because some people will feel you're coming on too strong. Plus, there are much smoother ways to convey the same message.

#10.) End on a good note: If you get a kiss, compliment it immediately. And even if you don't, you should end with a broad compliment. Something like, "You're amazing." Basically, you want to end the date on a high, and indicate that you want more. (Match.com)


BEING IN A BAD MOOD CAN ACTUALLY BE *GOOD* FOR YOU:

Have you ever wondered why so many successful people seem so MISERABLE? Well, it might be that fame and fortune made them that way. Or, it might be that the reason they're so successful in the first place is because they were ALREADY miserable.

At least that's according to a new study from the University of New South Wales in Australia, which found that being in a BAD mood can actually be GOOD for you. -According to the study, when people are in bad moods, they are:

-- Less likely to believe rumors and urban myths . . .
-- Less likely to make snap decisions based on racial or religious prejudices, and . . .
-- Less likely to make mistakes when recalling an event from memory.

In other words, being in a bad mood can make you mentally sharper. A guy named Joseph Forgas led the study. He says, quote, "People in negative moods are less prone to judgmental errors, are more resistant to eyewitness distortions and are better at producing high-quality, effective persuasive messages . . .

"Our research suggests that sadness . . . promotes information processing strategies best suited to dealing with more demanding situations." (Yahoo News)


HERE ARE FIVE TIPS TO HELP YOU DEAL WITH THE FEELING OF BEING TAKEN FOR GRANTED:

Let's face it . . . we all want recognition and praise when we do good work. And if we never get it, we feel underappreciated and taken for granted. --If you're feeling that way, here are five tips from Yahoo Shine that can help you deal:

#1.) Do it for yourself: If you're sitting around waiting for others to heap praise on you, you're bound to be let down. But if you do something for yourself, you won't care if you're praised or not. Because it's not about THEM . . . it's about YOU.

#2.) Find ways to reward yourself: Maybe someone's not giving you the credit you deserve, but you can always give yourself credit. All you have to do is find a few little indulgences that you can use to reward yourself.

#3.) Tell people how you're feeling: People are wrapped up in their own lives, so they might not even know how you're feeling. There's nothing wrong with the occasional reminder to the people around you that you're working your butt off and you deserve to be recognized.

#4.) Express your appreciation for others: It doesn't take a genius to realize that other people are much more likely to dish out praise and appreciation for YOU . . . if you do the same for THEM.

#5.) Remember that being taken for granted is a form of praise: The sad truth is that the more reliable you are, the more likely you are to be taken for granted. --And while it may not seem like it, the fact that others don't have to worry about your dependability is actually a pretty high compliment.

BE A BETTER FLIRT

HERE ARE NINE TIPS TO MAKE YOU BETTER AT FLIRTING:

I'm going to assume you have at least SOME clue as to what you're doing when it comes to flirting. But it never hurts to review the basics, in hopes of improving your game. With that in mind, here are nine flirting tips you probably already know, but may need refreshing:

#1.) Confidence: The key to good flirting is confidence. Whatever you can do to improve your confidence . . . whether it's losing weight or getting a new haircut . . . do it. The sexier you feel, the sexier you'll come across to others.

#2.) Posture: If you're choosing between two dates that are equal in every way, except one has great posture while the other slouches . . . which one would you choose?

#3.) Grooming: You may think you know what you're doing. But if you have bad breath, B.O., or greasy hair, it's going to make it a lot more difficult for you to hook up.

#4.) Contact: A little physical contact can go a long way in flirting. Nothing too forward, just a light touch or even a brush is all it takes.

#5.) Eye contact: If you do it right, one flirtatious look can get you just as far as an entire night of talking.

#6.) Hair: Here's a secret, ladies . . . guys love your hair. And if you're tossing it around, or touching it, you're going to keep a man's attention.

#7.) Attention: There's nothing sexier than having a conversation with an attractive person that's not only intelligent and engaging, but also genuinely interested in what you have to say.

#8.) Body language: Studies have found that when you mirror another person's body language, it helps put them at ease.

#9.) Smile: Flirting is supposed to be fun. And if you're smiling and having fun, other people are going to find you much more attractive. (Yahoo Shine)

HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW (11-03-09)

ANDRE AGASSI'S '90S MULLET WAS A WIG!!!

ANDRE AGASSI'S sweet '90s mullet was a WIG!!! In his new autobiography, "Open" . . . (--Which will hit stores next week) . . . Andre says he started losing his hair at an early age . . . so he covered it up with a toupee.

He says, quote, "Every morning I would get up and find another piece of my identity on the pillow, in the wash basin, down the plughole. I asked myself, 'You want to wear a toupee? On the tennis court?' I answered myself: 'What else could I do?'"

The rug caused him a lot of anxiety on the court . . . because he was worried it would fall off. In fact, he claims that fear caused him to lose to Andres Gomez in the finals of the 1990 French Open.

He says, quote, "With each leap, I imagine it falling into the sand. I imagine millions of spectators move closer to their TV sets, their eyes widening and, in dozens of dialects and languages, ask how Andre Agassi's hair has fallen from his head." (--As we've already heard, Andre also admits in the book that he was doing METH in the late '90s.)


OWEN WILSON WILL STAR IN A "MARMADUKE" MOVIE:

After "Marley & Me", OWEN WILSON must have needed a dog movie with a happy ending to cleanse his palate . . . because he just signed on to provide the voice of the dog in a "Marmaduke" movie.

The movie will mix live action and computer animation . . . like those "Garfield" flicks featuring the voice of BILL MURRAY did. (--For those of you who don't know, "Marmaduke" is a comic strip about a Great Dane that's been running since 19-freakin'-54.)

The voice cast will also include Fergie, Emma Stone, George Lopez, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Steve Coogan and Damon and Marlon Wayans. William H. Macy will play one of the human characters.


RIHANNA WILL TALK ABOUT CHRIS BROWN ON "GOOD MORNING AMERICA" THIS WEEK:

RIHANNA will talk publicly about CHRIS BROWN . . . for the first time since he assaulted her back in February . . . in an interview airing on ABC's "Good Morning America" this Thursday and on "20/20" this Friday.

In the interview, Rihanna describes Chris as her, quote, "first big love" . . . and says, quote, "This happened to me. It can happen to anyone." (--ABC will undoubtedly let a few more quotes trickle out in the coming days to hype the interview.)

She probably decided to end her silence now . . . so that she can get it out of the way and begin promoting her next album, "Rated R", which hits stores on November 23rd.

(--Here's a promo for the interview, which promises that Rihanna will, quote, "tell her story" . . .)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1RwpAg-1wk

(--Chris, of course, has spoken publicly about the "incident" several times now. He has apologized for what happened . . . and says it's something that will never happen again. He's currently serving a sentence of 180 DAYS of community service.)

Meanwhile, Rihanna has released a track-list for "Rated R" . . . and it includes a song called "Rockstar 101", which features SLASH on guitar. WILL.I.AM and YOUNG JEEZY will also make appearances on the album.


ATTENTION, CONAN: JAY LENO WOULD RETURN TO "THE TONIGHT SHOW" IF NBC ASKED HIM TO:

You have to feel for CONAN O'BRIEN. He waited FIVE years for JAY LENO to retire so that he could take over "The Tonight Show" . . . only Jay didn't retire, he just moved to an earlier timeslot to host, essentially, another "Tonight Show".

And as if that didn't screw Conan enough . . . in a candid new interview with "Broadcasting & Cable", Jay says that he wishes he could've kept his job, and that he'd return to the "Tonight Show" if NBC asked him to.

When Jay was asked if he regretted agreeing to retire back in 2004 . . . and his later decision to do his new show with NBC at 10:00 P.M., he says, quote, "Would I have preferred to stay at 11:30? Yeah, sure. I would have preferred that.

"I think it's too soon to say whether I regret anything or not. My thing is, I did 'The Tonight Show' for 17 years . . . now you try this and you see what happens. Do I enjoy the battle? Yes, I get a certain amount of satisfaction from pounding my head against the wall."

Jay, of course, is referring to the bad press "The Jay Leno Show" has received . . . both for clogging up NBC's 10:00 P.M. timeslot, and not differing enough from his version of "The Tonight Show". And the show's ratings aren't impressing anyone.

Jay says that he doesn't take satisfaction in the fact that Conan's "Tonight Show" numbers are lower than his were . . . but he WOULD retake his old job, if asked to. --He says, quote, "If it were offered to me, would I take it? If that's what they wanted to do, sure. That would be fine if they wanted to."

And when asked if he'd RATHER do that than his new show, he says, quote, "It's not my decision to make . . . it's really not. I don't know. Something makes me think we might be OK [with 'The Jay Leno Show'] for a while. --"It depends how long you're here; by that time I could be 61 [or] 62, I don't know. Personally, I think Conan is doing fine. It's a little too early to tell."

In the same article, Jay also refuses to trash DAVID LETTERMAN over his sex scandal . . . (--Even though he did take some pokes at Dave in his nightly monologues.) --Jay says, quote, "Dave has never set himself up as [a model citizen]. If it were me, it would kill me. I'm the guy who's been married 29 years. But Dave has never pretended to be Mr. Moral America, he's never set himself up that way. He's not a hypocrite.

If you'd like to read more of Jay's comments concerning the challenges of making his new show a success . . . and his feelings about leaving "The Tonight Show" . . . you can find the whole interview, here . . .)http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/366971-Jay_Leno_Talks_Back_An_Exclusive_Interview_With_B_C.php

AFFORDABLE PLASTIC SURGERIES

SIX PLASTIC SURGERIES YOU CAN AFFORD:

Americans spent $10.3 billion on cosmetic surgery in 2008. That's down 9% from 2007. But According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the NUMBER of cosmetic procedures went up by 3%.

because people are getting more of the SMALL procedures that cost LESS. And some of them are getting more affordable. So here are six plastic surgeries you can afford . . .

#1.) SPIDER VEIN LASER TREATMENT. Skip the needles and go with the Cynosure Synergy Multiplex treatment. It takes between two and four visits at around $250 each, but there's a quick recovery time, and other options can cost twice as much.

#2.) HAIR PLUGS. Actually, it's called Micro-hair grafting, and it costs around $5 per plug. If you're COMPLETELY bald and you want a FULL head of hair, it could cost up to $40,000. But you pay for it as you go. And most guys aren't cue balls. --Plus, once you reach a certain number of plugs . . . say, 1,000 . . . doctors will usually start charging less per plug.

#3.) LASER FAT REMOVAL. You could lose six or seven inches with liposuction, but it's expensive and invasive. Another option is Zerona. It's a laser treatment that makes fat cells melt away. You can lose three or four inches from your waist for about $2,000.

#4.) FACIAL SPOT REMOVAL. A procedure called the LimeLight Facial uses a laser to zap away red and brown spots on your face. It costs around $500 per session, and most people need to go back once or twice. But other options cost up to $4,000.

#5.) EARLOBE LIFT. It's for women who've been wearing heavy earrings for years, and for people who get those huge plugs in their earlobes, then regret it. Either way, your ears can look normal again for about $350 per ear. And you can wear earrings again in six months. (WalletPop.com)
