HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW

LARRY KING IS GETTING DIVORCED . . . FOR THE SEVENTH TIME:

LARRY KING has filed for his SEVENTH DIVORCE. (--One more and he catches up to ELIZABETH TAYLOR.) --Larry and his wife, country singer SHAWN SOUTHWICK, both filed yesterday . . . although Larry got his papers in first. --Larry's rep says, quote, "[Larry's] major concern is the welfare of his children, and beyond that he's not going to comment about the divorce." --And while both sides say they want to resolve things amicably, it doesn't sound like that's going to happen. --For starters, online sources are saying that Larry and Shawn ran to their divorce attorneys after a knock-down, drag-out fight yesterday morning, that ended with, quote, "cars screeching out of the driveway." --And people are saying the fight was over Larry's alleged affair with Shawn's younger sister, Shannon. --The "National Enquirer" first reported this supposed affair back in December. Larry denied it, of course . . . but sources said he'd spent over A MILLION DOLLARS on gifts for Shannon. (--In November of 2008, the "Enquirer" also said that Shawn had cheated on Larry . . . with a 28-year-old man who was coaching one of their sons' baseball teams.) --Shannon is denying the affair, of course. She says Larry has bought her gifts . . . but she adds, quote, "He has been nothing but generous to our entire family." --She adds, quote, "I'm tired for taking the rap for things. I did not have an affair with Larry. He's been like a father to me."


THE LARRY KING DIVORCE: WHAT'S AT STAKE:

LARRY KING and his wife SHAWN SOUTHWICK claim they want to work out their divorce amicably. But that's not going to happen. They're already digging their heels in on two key issues. --One of those issues is custody of their two sons. (--One is 11, and the other will be 10 next month) Larry wants joint custody . . . and he wants to deny Shawn spousal support. --But Shawn wants primary physical custody, plus spousal and child support. --Another thing they're headed for a showdown over is property. About two years ago, Larry signed over some prime real estate to Shawn . . . including the Beverly Hills mansion they've been living in, and two homes in Utah. --Some reports suggest that Larry did that for tax purposes. But there are so-called "sources" who say Larry did it because Shawn confronted him about his supposed relationship with her sister. --It was a good-faith gesture to prove to her that he was committed to the marriage. --Well, now that Larry is no longer committed to the marriage, he wants those houses back. In his divorce papers, he's asking that any property transfers conducted during the marriage be declared null and void. --Shawn, however, is asking the court to award her the houses AND all the artwork and furniture in them. --In his divorce papers, Larry lists the separation date as April 13th . . . which was Tuesday. Larry and Shawn were actually spotted having dinner at a Beverly Hills steakhouse that night. (--Larry is 76 years old. Shawn is 50.)


MEL GIBSON MAY HAVE BROKEN UP WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND:

MEL GIBSON may have broken up with his girlfriend, Russian singer OKSANA GRIGORIEVA. They'd been together at least a year, and they have a daughter named Lucia . . . who was born last October. --Their relationship probably had at least SOMETHING to do with Mel's divorce from his wife, Robyn, after more than 29 years of marriage. --A so-called "source" says, quote, "[They] drifted apart. They're both working hard on their careers . . . They're still friends and they'll both raise their baby together." --Another source told "Us Weekly" that they ended things several months ago, but they're still close.


ANGELINA JOLIE IS NOT PREGNANT:

The not-always-reliable "Star" tabloid says that ANGELINA JOLIE is three months pregnant. But she's not. --Her rep says the report is, quote, "totally false."


ALEX RODRIGUEZ AND CAMERON DIAZ ARE STILL TOGETHER . . . ALLEGEDLY:

Back in February, we heard that ALEX RODRIGUEZ and CAMERON DIAZ were hooking up. Well, according to the "New York Post", they're still doing it. --A so-called "source" says, quote, "A-Rod's with Cameron. They've been keeping it quiet, but they're totally together."


DID ROBERT PATTINSON AND LEIGHTON MEESTER HOOK UP???

"In Touch Weekly" claims that "Twilight" stud ROBERT PATTINSON hooked up with "Gossip Girl" minx LEIGHTON MEESTER. --Rob was supposedly seen going into Leighton's New York apartment one night . . . and leaving at 11:00 A.M. the next morning. --A so-called "source" says, quote, "He ducked out of the building and hopped into a waiting car. He apparently spent the night with Leighton, and didn't want anyone to know!" --But a friend of Rob's says, quote, "I don't even think they know each other." (--Besides . . . isn't Rob dating KRISTEN STEWART???)

DID ELIN NORDEGREN VISIT A DIVORCE LAWYER???

RadarOnline.com says that TIGER WOODS' wife, ELIN NORDEGREN, visited a divorce lawyer before she left for Scottsdale, Arizona over the weekend. --They're also saying that Elin went to Scottsdale simply to take a vacation away from Tiger. Her mother is NOT receiving any medical treatment there . . . nor is she even in the U.S. (--Tiger hopped a flight with his kids after the Masters Tournament. We don't know where they went, but they did NOT hook up with Elin.) --The word is that Elin was upset that Tiger made his return to golf so soon, instead of trying to repair their relationship. That made her realize that he's not serious about changing his ways. --She's also upset over Tiger's Nike ad . . . which she considers, quote, "cheesy." A so-called "source", says, quote, "She is over Tiger. I wouldn't be surprised if she files for divorce sometime soon." --Meanwhile, TMZ says that Elin is fixing up a $2 million home she bought in Sweden last year . . . and she's hoping to move in sometime this summer.


TIGER WOODS HAS ENTERED THE U.S. OPEN:

After finishing the Masters tied for fourth, TIGER WOODS said he was going to take some time off to reassess things. Apparently, he didn't need too much time. --Tiger sent his application in Monday to join the U.S. Open . . . which goes down June 17th through the 20th at Pebble Beach.


CHARLIE SHEEN WORE A FAKE MUSTACHE AND GLASSES TO A WOMAN'S HOUSE . . . BUT HE'S NOT HAVING AN AFFAIR:

CHARLIE SHEEN was photographed wearing a fake mustache, dark glasses and a hoodie and smoking a cigarette . . . while walking into a woman's home. --It all sounds pretty suspicious . . . and "Us Weekly" says it's exactly what you think it is. --They claim Charlie is cheating on his wife BROOKE with a woman named Angelina Tracy . . . who's a lingerie model and a HIGH-PRICED ESCORT on the side. --But Charlie's rep has a different explanation. He says that Charlie was doing some ADDICTION COUNSELING . . . and he threw the disguise together just to mess with the paparazzi. --He says, quote, "The woman in question is the sister of one of Sheen's campmates, and Sheen was only responding to a 12th-step call. --"Since Sheen knew he was being followed and how this would look, he wore the mustache in a tongue-in-cheek disguise gesture."


PRODUCTION OF STEVEN SEAGAL'S REALITY SHOW HAS BEEN SUSPENDED:

Production of STEVEN SEAGAL'S A&E reality show, "Steven Seagal: Lawman", has been suspended indefinitely, while the sexual harassment lawsuit against him plays out. --The show follows Seagal as he works as a reserve deputy for the sheriff's department of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. --But now that Seagal is facing that lawsuit from former employee Kayden Nguyen, the department has decided it would be too much of a distraction to allow filming to continue. --Meanwhile, Seagal's attorney says the alleged victim's claims are, quote, "a complete fabrication without a scintilla of truth." He claims she was fired for ILLEGAL DRUG USE. --Sheriff Newell Normand says his department won't investigate Nguyen's claims unless she files a criminal complaint . . . which she hasn't done. --But if they do end up on the case, he says Seagal won't get any special treatment.


THE MOST INFLUENTIAL GAY MEN AND WOMEN IN AMERICA:

"Out" magazine has released its fourth annual POWER 50 . . . which is a list of the Most Influential Gay Men and Women in America. --ELLEN DEGENERES came in at #1, exchanging positions with politician BARNEY FRANK, who beat out Ellen to top the list last year. --Not everyone on the Power 50 is a celebrity . . . and some aren't even technically "out" yet . . . but here are a few notable entries on the list:
#3.) ANDERSON COOPER#4.) RACHEL MADDOW#5.) ADAM LAMBERT#7.) NEIL PATRICK HARRIS#26.) PEREZ HILTON#36.) WANDA SYKES#41.) JODIE FOSTER#47.) TIM GUNN . . . of "Project Runway".

SHE'D RATHER HAVE RYAN GOSLING:
COURTNEY LOVE is denying British tabloid reports that she wants ROBERT PATTINSON to play her late husband, KURT COBAIN, in an upcoming movie called "All Apologies". --She'd much rather have RYAN GOSLING . . . or JAMES MCAVOY. --As for Pattinson, she says, quote, "Isn't that so stupid, who would cast him? That's just wrong, no offense [to him]. --"I watched the 'Twilight' stuff very, very recently and I get it, it resonates with the teenaged girl in me, I understand epic love of that nature; I write about it all the time. But isn't that silly?"


JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND CAMERON DIAZ DRY-HUMP IN "BAD TEACHER":

Everybody's making a big deal out of the fact that exes JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and CAMERON DIAZ have a sex scene in the upcoming comedy "Bad Teacher". --Well, according to a script obtained by the "Star" tabloid, Justin and Cameron's big scene has them comically DRY-HUMPING in a hotel room . . . with their clothes on. --And after it's over, Cameron tells him, quote, "Maybe next time we could dry hump without our clothes on." (???) (--So this is what JESSICA BIEL is supposedly so upset about. Can you blame her, though???) (--Sure, it's acting. But dry-humping an ex . . . that's shaky territory, no?)


"JON AND KATE PLUS EIGHT" DIDN'T VIOLATE ANY CHILD LABOR LAWS . . . BUT IT MAY HAVE RUINED CHRISTMAS FOR THE KIDS:

The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry has determined that "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" did NOT violate any of the state's child labor laws . . . at least the existing ones. But some things will be changing. --In the future, producers must obtain child-labor permits to film the GOSSELIN children, and the kids will have to be paid a salary, which will be kept in a trust fund. --The Department of Labor's report was released as part of an ongoing series of hearings regarding the state's child labor laws. In one of the hearings, two members of KATE GOSSELIN'S family testified that reality TV has been BAD for the children. --For example, Kate's VERY estranged brother KEVIN KREIDER told legislators that the show has robbed the kids of THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS. -He said, quote, "The children were told it was Christmas morning. It was so the camera crew could get the genuine reaction of the children. It wasn't until after, until later, that they were told it was not Christmas morning, they just did it for the show. --"Can you imagine how confused eight little kids were that morning?"(--Here's video of his comments . . .) http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=75f675ed-9d8c-45c8-9b11-03a04559bdd6--Kreider also said that the kids' rooms would be filled with production equipment, and that the crew would sometimes film the kids without a parent present. (--Specifically, he mentioned that they filmed the kids' potty training sessions without supervision . . . however, he is NOT alleging that anything inappropriate happened. His point was that it was irresponsible of Jon and Kate to allow it.) --Kreider's wife Jodi . . . who appeared on the show as Aunt Jodi . . . testified that she believed children should NEVER be on reality TV, under any circumstance. --Yesterday, JON GOSSELIN responded on Twitter . . . saying, quote, "Kate and I were doing what was best for our family. And it gave us an opportunity to spend quality family time together. --"The allegations made by Kevin and Jodi Kreider have not been my experience at all during the production of 'Jon and Kate Plus 8'."


NADYA SULEMAN HAS LINED UP MORE TV APPEARANCES:

If you can't stand watching the insanity that is NADYA SULEMAN . . . a.k.a. THE OCTOMOM . . . here are two more TV shows that you'll need to avoid. --First, Nadya will be featured on Tuesday's "The Oprah Winfrey Show". (--There will undoubtedly be some craziness, because Oprah's camera crew visited Nadya's home to get a first-hand look at the hell-on-Earth she's created.) --Then on Wednesday, Nadya will be making some sort of "brief cameo" in a skit on the "Idol Gives Back" charity special. There aren't any further details on that. (--Two of the five charities benefiting from this year's "Idol Gives Back" directly aid children. With all due respect to the needs of those kids . . . they should at least take comfort in knowing that they're LESS DOOMED than Nadya's kids.)


"GLEE" RETURNED FROM ITS HIATUS TO A RECORD AUDIENCE:

On Tuesday, Fox's "Glee" returned from a four-month hiatus. And not only did its audience return . . . but it grew to a record high. --An estimated 13.7 million people tuned in, which is almost DOUBLE the average of the first 13 episodes, which was 7.3 million viewers. (--Before this, the highest-rated episode was the series premiere, which attracted 9.6 million viewers.)


"SOUTH PARK" IS GOING TO BROADWAY:

The GENIUSES behind "South Park", TREY PARKER and MATT STONE, have written a musical called "The Book of Mormon", which will debut on Broadway in March of next year. (--There aren't any specific of details yet.) --While we don't know what the tone of the musical will be, "South Park" ripped on Mormonism several years ago, in a hilarious episode titled "All About Mormons". (--You can watch it, here . . .) http://www.southparkstudios.com/guide/712/


JUSTIN BIEBER IS BACK ON TOP OF THE CHARTS!!!

It really is JUSTIN BIEBER'S world. You and I just live in it. "My World 2.0" is back at the top of the charts this week, after moving another 102,000 copies. --Only two new albums cracked the Top 10. SLASH'S self-titled disc debuted at #3 with 60,000 copies . . . and MADONNA'S live album from her "Sticky and Sweet Tour" is at #10 with 28,000 copies. Here are this week's Top 10 albums . . .
1.) "My World 2.0", Justin Bieber (102,000 copies)2.) "Raymond vs. Raymond", Usher (92,000 copies)3.) (NEW) "Slash", Slash (60,000 copies)


OZZY OSBOURNE HELPS THE HOMELESS:

Rumor has it that OZZY OSBOURNE helped out a homeless man in Los Angeles recently. According to the "Star" tabloid, the man asked Ozzy if he had any spare change . . . but Ozzy didn't. --So instead, he gave the man a gold crucifix that was around his neck . . . and told the man to, quote, "pray with it." --"Star" claims the crucifix was worth $3,000, which means that the guy MAY have prayed with it once . . . before selling it to a pawnshop for $100.


TONI BRAXTON HAS RELEASED A SEXY-ASS VIDEO:

Yesterday, TONI BRAXTON'S new "Hands Tied" video premiered on People.com. Toni is 42 years old now . . . but the video includes a pretty SEXY strip tease. --And Toni says things got even NAUGHTIER during the filming . . . quote, "My left boobie kept falling out. It wanted to make a cameo!" (--Here's the video . . .) http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20360914,00.html


EMINEM HAS A *BIG* ANNOUNCEMENT: HE'S CHANGED THE TITLE OF HIS UPCOMING ALBUM!!! (???)

Two weeks ago, EMINEM announced that he had some, quote, "big news" coming. --Well, yesterday that big news came: Eminem is changing the name of his new album . . . from "Relapse 2" to "Recovery". Yep, that's it. But Eminem is trying to make it sound a lot more dramatic than it is. --Instead of just saying he was changing the name of the disc, Eminem first announced that he was scrapping "Relapse 2" . . . then later announced that he would be releasing "Recovery" instead. --In an article on his website, he says, quote, "As I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to 'Relapse' started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album. --"The music on 'Recovery' came out very different from 'Relapse', and I think it deserves its own title." --"Recovery" will be out June 22nd. (--So really, after all that, all he really did was change the name of the album he was working on. Drama queen.)

WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH, WOMEN START WEARING HIGHER HEELS:

Elizabeth Semmelhack is the author of a book called "Heights of Fashion: A History of the Elevated Shoe". In it, she points out that during economic recessions, women tend to wear HIGHER HEELS. --According to Elizabeth, it happened during the Great Depression, during the oil crisis of the 1970s and after the dot-com bubble burst in 2000. And she says the same thing is happening right now. --Or as Elizabeth puts it, quote, "We have entered a moment of heightened impracticality in footwear." --So you know, it's not entirely clear why recessions seem to cause women to wear higher heels. But Elizabeth thinks it's due to, quote, "a greater need for escapism." (???) (Yahoo Shine) (--You can buy Elizabeth's book for about $20 here . . .)http://www.amazon.com/Heights-Fashion-History-Elevated-Shoe/dp/1934772941


WOMEN DON'T GO FOR PUSHOVERS (LIKE YOU DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW):

Guys . . . it should come as no surprise that women don't go for pushovers. But that doesn't mean you have to be a complete jerk just to get a little action. It just means you have to focus a little more on yourself . . . and a little less on her. --Here are some tips to help you do just that, according to a bunch of relationship coaches CNN interviewed for a recent article:
#1.) Stay away from the polished, predictable image. Even if you aren't a traditional "nice guy," the appearance of being one is enough to turn off most women.
#2.) Stop being so available and flexible. Women want what they can't have. If you're always hanging out waiting for her to notice you, she never will.
#3.) Leave a little mystery. Even though most women say they don't want to play games and chase after you, they really do.
#4.) Stop wasting money on expensive dates. A girl's not going to fall for you just because you take her on a fancy date. And on the off chance that she actually does, it sets a bad precedent moving forward.
#5.) Stop catering to her needs first, and start doing what's best for YOU. Always.
#6.) It's more important to be "cool" than to be nice. Remember that.
#7.) Keep in mind that there are levels of "jerkiness." If you're just a little bit of a jerk, it's probably not a deal-breaker, because at least it shows you're not a pushover. (CNN)


HERE ARE 10 OF THE MANLIEST WORLD RECORDS OF ALL TIME:

Most world records are pretty lame. But not all world records are created equal. Some are MANLIER than others. And here are the 10 MANLIEST . . .

#1.) Heaviest Weight Dangled from a Swallowed Sword: Last year, a British guy named Thomas Blackthorne set a new world record by hanging more than 55 pounds from a sword he'd jammed down his throat. The old record was 44 pounds.(--Here's video of the old, 44-pound record . . .)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjAeA3o5LWs

#2.) Heaviest Weight Lifted by the Tongue: Believe it or not, Thomas Blackthorne holds this one too. In 2004, he lifted 25 pounds using only a hook through his tongue.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nvf9x7CmhE

#3.) Heaviest Aircraft Pulled: Last year, a guy named Kevin Fast pulled a 188-ton transport airplane called the CC-177 Globemaster Three more than 28 feet. That's like pulling 40 African elephants.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xpuub2DBB8

#4.) Most Pushups in an Hour on the Back of the Hands: In 2007, a British guy named Paddy Doyle did 1,940 pushups on the back of his hands in just one hour. That's a rate of one pushup every two seconds. (--Here he is doing a measly 663 back-of-hand pushups in an hour . . . wearing a 40 pound back-pack.)http://community.guinnessworldrecords.com/_Most-back-of-hands-Push-Ups-in-1-Hour-carrying-a-40-lb-back-pack/VIDEO/211725/7691.html

#5.) Most Concrete Blocks Broken: Last year, a guy named Ali Bahcetepe smashed his way through 888 concrete blocks, using just his hands, in 60 seconds. (--Here he is breaking 565 concrete blocks in 43 seconds . . .)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCNsKqx2qUo

#6.) Oldest Father: In 2007, a farmer from India named Nanu Ram Jogi became the world's oldest new father when his fourth wife gave birth to his 21st kid at the age of 90.

#7.) Heaviest Deadlift: This record belongs to a guy from Iceland named Benedikt Magnússon. He somehow managed to hoist 1,102 pounds.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17ptVrk4vo8

#8.) Most Live Rattlesnakes Held in the Mouth: In 2006, a guy named Jackie Bibby stuffed the tails of ten live rattlesnakes in his mouth, and held them there for a full ten seconds. (--Here he is in a sleeping bag with 150 of them.)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v20C5fpHeNo

#9.) Most Burgers Eaten: This one belongs to competitive eater Joey Chestnut. In 2007, he wolfed down 103 Krystal burgers . . . which are like White Castle burgers . . . in just eight minutes. --As a side note, Joey also holds world records for eating 47 grilled cheese sandwiches in ten minutes, 45 pulled pork sandwiches in ten minutes, 68 Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs in ten minutes, and 241 chicken wings in ten minutes.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS1-2Kxkeco

#10.) Heaviest Weight Lifted: In 1957, a guy named Paul Anderson back-lifted a ridiculous 6,270 pounds. That's like using your shoulders to lift two Honda Civics with a 200-pound man inside each of them.


A GUY WAS CHARGED WITH ASSAULT AND BATTERY FOR SMACKING SOMEONE IN THE FACE WITH HIS FOUR-FOOT PYTHON:

Now it's time to recognize our Meatball Criminal of the Day . . . 29-year-old Tony Smith of Rock Hill, South Carolina (--about 30 miles southwest of Charlotte). --On Monday, Tony was staying at a hotel in town when he got into an argument with another guest . . . an unidentified 47-year-old man. Apparently, Tony was rocking out in his room, and the guy next door asked him to turn down the music. --Anyway, the next night Tony was walking around the hotel showing off his pet snake . . . a 4-foot python . . . when he noticed the same guy standing on the balcony of a first-floor room. --So Tony walked up to him, and smacked him in the face with the python's head. Then he walked away. -Tony was arrested and charged with simple assault and battery. If he's convicted, he could get up to 30 days in jail. --The snake was released to a family member. (Charlotte Observer)


7,670 BABIES WERE BORN LAST YEAR TO "BIRTH TOURISTS" . . . WOMEN WHO CAME TO THE U.S. JUST SO THEIR KID WOULD HAVE CITIZENSHIP:

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, there were nearly 4.3 MILLION babies born in the U.S. last year. And 7,670 of them were born to women who don't live in the United States, and aren't citizens themselves. --Officials say it has to do with a shady new industry called "birth tourism." Here's the scam . . . --Federal law grants citizenship to ANYONE born on U.S. soil, even if neither parent is an American citizen. --That means if an Irish woman gives birth while on vacation at Disneyland, her kid is automatically a U.S. citizen. And if a Mexican woman sneaks across the border and gives birth in El Paso, her child is entitled to all the rights of U.S. citizenship. --Now, pregnant women have started coming to the U.S. for the SOLE PURPOSE of giving birth to an American citizen. --The idea is that if you live somewhere less desirable, you can pop out an "anchor baby," who can then sponsor the rest of your family for citizenship later in life. But here's the real kicker . . . --Birth tourism ISN'T illegal . . . at least not officially. In fact, there are even businesses that cater specifically to birth tourists. --For example, a Turkish-owned hotel in New York called the Marmara Manhattan offers "birth tourism" packages to expectant mothers who want to give their baby all the advantages of U.S. citizenship. And they're just one of many. --In all fairness, federal officials say they can . . . and do . . . turn away pregnant women who are obviously coming to the U.S. just to scam citizenship for their baby. --Still, between 2000 and 2006, the total number of U.S. births increased by 5%, while the number of U.S. births to non-resident mothers increased by 53%. --The U.S. is one of the last countries in the world that still grants citizenship to all children born on its soil. (ABC News)



THE FEWER TEETH YOU HAVE, THE MORE LIKELY YOU ARE TO DIE OF HEART DISEASE:

The next time you skip brushing your teeth before bed, I want you to think about this . . . --A new study in Sweden has found that the fewer teeth you have, the more likely you are to DIE of heart disease. --A guy named Anders Holmlund led the study. He says, quote, "Cardiovascular disease and, in particular, coronary heart disease is closely related to the number of teeth. --"A person with fewer than ten of their own teeth has a seven times higher risk for death by coronary heart disease than a person of the same age, and of the same sex, with more than 25 teeth left." --According to Anders, it's because people with poor oral health are more likely to have poor health in general, which increases their chance of developing heart disease. (My Fox - Los Angeles)



NAZZY’S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY

#1.) A GUY DID A CRAZY IMPRESSION OF A SNARLING DOG:An Australian show called "A Current Affair" . . . no relation to the American one with Maury Povich . . . interviewed a guy about his neighbor's barking dogs, and he launched an over-the-top "snarling dog" impression right next to his wife's head. --Naturally, it became a YouTube phenomenon. (--Search for "Vicious dog man a viral hit.")http://video.au.msn.com/watch/video/vicious-dog-man-a-viral-hit/xodhwoe

#2.) THE CEO OF SPIRIT AIRLINES STUFFED HIMSELF IN AN OVERHEAD BIN TO JUSTIFY CHARGING $30 FOR CARRY-ON LUGGAGE:You probably heard about how Spirit Airlines is going to charge $30 to $45 to put your luggage in the overhead bin. So the CEO posted a message on YouTube to explain the policy . . . and he delivered the message while lying in an overhead bin.(--Search for "Spirit Airlines' CEO carry-on crisis.")http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omYDG-YuSxI

#3.) A LAUNDRY-FOLDING ROBOT TAKES 25 MINUTES TO FOLD ONE TOWEL:Researchers created a robot that can fold any piece of laundry, even if it's never seen it before. But it currently takes 25 minutes to do one towel. (--Search for "autonomously folding towels robot.") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy5g33S0Gzo

#4.) HERE'S A SOUTHERN GUY DOING LIGHTNING FAST "HAMBONE":"Hambone" is a style of dance and percussion that involves stomping, and slapping your knees, thighs, and chest. It's also called "Juba dance," and it started with slaves on Southern plantations. --Here's a white Southern dude who's REALLY good at it . . . and also GARY BUSEY trying his best.

FOUR DATING MISTAKES GUYS MAKE:

When it comes to dating, a lot of guys shoot themselves in the foot. Then they wonder why they didn't get any, or why they can't meet someone cool. So here are four things that will make any woman think twice about you . . .

#1.) HAVING A GROSS LIVING SPACE. It doesn't have to be spotless, but if a girl's coming over this weekend, clean up the crumbs in the sofa, do the dishes, and get your dirty laundry off the floor. --Having a dirty living space makes it look like you don't take good care of yourself. But it ALSO shows that you don't care enough about HER to clean up a little.

#2.) BABY TALK IN BED. It's endearing with puppies and babies. But most WOMEN don't find it cute. They find it strange, especially if it's in the bedroom.

#3.) EXPECTING HER TO TAKE CARE OF YOU. She's not your mom. And women are more attracted to men who can take care of themselves.

#4.) SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME TOGETHER. In the first six months of a relationship, your serotonin and dopamine levels are a lot higher, which makes you feel good. --The problem is when being around her makes you feel SO good, you want to be around her all the time. And it's easy for one or both of you to get burned out. Most guys don't like needy girls. But remember, girls don't like needy GUYS either. (Yahoo.com)
