HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW (05-12-10)
SOMEONE IS SUPPOSEDLY SHOPPING A VIDEO OF MILEY CYRUS GIVING A GUY A LAP DANCE:
Someone is supposedly shopping a video featuring a 16-year-old MILEY CYRUS giving a grown man a lap dance. (--She turns 18 in November.) --It happened . . . allegedly . . . at the wrap party for Miley's latest movie, "The Last Song". The recipient of the lap dance is Adam Shankman . . . one of the film's producers. He's openly gay, by the way. --A so-called "source" says the video includes a scene where Shankman grinds up against Miley's backside on the dance floor . . . and she grinds right back.--Then she turns around and, quote, "seductively opens the top layer of her shirt." After some suggestive dancing, Miley gives Shankman the lap dance. -A so-called "source" says, quote, "The worst part is that there were little kids at the party and the dancing between Miley and Adam was so dirty that some of the parents actually left the party and took their kids home." --Miley's parents were NOT at the party. (--But I guess if Billy Ray were there, he would have just chalked it up to Miley expressing herself artistically, and allowed it to continue. He's SO progressive.) --This isn't the first time Shankman and Miley have been involved in controversy. --Last June, while the movie was still shooting, Shankman posted a pair of suggestive-looking photos of Miley in the makeup trailer on Twitter. --When people criticized the photos, Shankman said, quote, "Miley is a sweet angel who works tirelessly and endlessly, and is allowed to have fun in the make up room! --"Lighten up or no more behind the scenes pics! She's my little angel sister."
NEIL PATRICK HARRIS PICKS THE 10 HOTTEST GUYS!!!
The gay website AfterElton.com came up with a BRILLIANT idea: Asking NEIL PATRICK HARRIS to name his 10 Hottest Guys!!! Let's not sashay around the bush. Here's the list . . .
#10.) NICK JONAS. Neil says, quote, "I know, I know. He's young. I'm not supposed to. But I can't help it. He's got those bedroom eyes."
#9.) RYAN KWANTEN. He plays Jason Stackhouse on "True Blood", and Neil calls him, quote, "crazy sexy."
#8.) CHANNING TATUM. Neil says he was in a hot tub with Channing a few years ago, and it was, quote, "a visual strongly seared into my skull."
#7.) JAMES FRANCO. Neil jokes, quote, "Sat in the second row of a show I did in London. Wrote me a letter afterward saying nice things, which I'm pretty sure means that he's in love with me."
#6.) TAYE DIGGS. Neil says Taye is, quote, "a total charmer [and] the coolest guy."
#5.) RYAN REYNOLDS. Neil says, quote, "One day I watched him working out at the gym wearing jeans! Jeans! And you know what? He pulled it off. (The look, not the jeans.)"
#4.) COLIN FARRELL. Neil says Colin is, quote, "Sex to the E" . . . and adds that he, quote, "just oozes hot."
#3.) Some rugby star named DAVID WILLIAMS. Neil says, quote, "Oh, there's so, so much to say about him, but I'll just go with: Guuuuuh...!" (!!!)
#2.) RYAN PHILLIPPE. Neil got quite aroused by Ryan in "I Know What You Did Last Summer". And he says, quote, "What a body. I tried wearing that 'white tank top and dog tags' look for a week or so. Couldn't quite do it justice."
#1.) DAVID BURTKA. Kind of a cheat here. This is Neil's longtime boyfriend. He says, quote, "He's the total package (Yeah, I did.) Singer, dancer, chef, brilliant actor and, hands down, one of the funniest people I've ever met. --"I'm very lucky to have him in my life."
LARRY KING AND HIS WIFE ARE LIVING TOGETHER AGAIN:
LARRY KING and his wife SHAWN are living together again, and it looks like they're going to try to make it work. --They issued a statement yesterday, saying, quote, "We love our children, we love each other, we love being a family. That is all that matters to us. --"We owe it to ourselves and our children to continue being dedicated to each other. We want to thank our friends for their loyal love and support . . . for being there for us." (--There's no official word yet on either of them withdrawing their divorce papers.)
MICKEY ROURKE IS TRYING SOMETHING NEW: FIDELITY!!!
MICKEY ROURKE is trying something new these days: FIDELITY. --Mickey . . . who's 57 . . . is dating a 24-year-old Russian model named Anastasia Makarenko. And so far, he hasn't cheated. --He says, quote, "I haven't (effed) around on her. I haven't been that way in 23 years so this is new for me and it's not easy. Sure, I could do something on the side but I've got to live with myself. --"That's something new for me, being honest in a relationship." --But that doesn't mean Mickey is ready to make The Big jump again. he says, quote, "I haven't thought about [marriage] yet. I've only had two girlfriends in my life. I'm either alone or in a relationship for four or five years." (--Not sure what he means about only having two girlfriends. He's been married twice . . . to actress Debra Feuer from 1981 to 1989, and to actress Carré Otis from 1992 to 1998.)
DID BRITNEY SPEARS LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT PANTIES AGAIN???
It's been a while since a celebrity has left home SANS PANTIES. But if anybody was going to bring that trend back, it had to be BRITNEY SPEARS. --Britney had dinner with one of her bodyguards at a gay bar called The Abbey yesterday afternoon. And it looks like she may not have been wearing any underwear. (--The pictures are inconclusive, actually. But based on the evidence, a strong case can be made that she's minus her panties. Hit up this link, and closely examine pictures 12 through 18 . . .) http://x17online.com/gallery/view_gallery.php?gallery=spearsbruise051010_X17
IS IT ON BETWEEN LINDSAY LOHAN AND AVRIL LAVIGNE???
Something is happening between LINDSAY LOHAN and AVRIL LAVIGNE . . . and some might even say IT'S ON!!! --There are various reports about this budding feud, and some of them have conflicting information. We'll start with the most dramatic . . . which, not surprisingly, comes from the "New York Post". -They say that about a week ago, Avril was hanging out with her boyfriend, BRODY JENNER, and some other friends at a place called Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. --Lindsay approached her table to say hello, and Avril WENT OFF. She said, quote, "Get the hell out of my face, you are fake, you are a loser. I don't like false people. Stay away from me and my friends." --Lindsay yelled back, quote, "Don't threaten me!" Then she ran to security and tried to get them to kick Avril out. When they refused, Lindsay, quote, "stormed off." --But, a source close to Avril told E! News that Avril did NOT go off on Lindsay or call her a loser. But she did refuse to speak with her. --Here's why . . . quote, "Lindsay had offended Avril a week before and Avril simply told Lindsay that she was upset about what had happened, and that she didn't want to talk to her." --What did Lindsay do the previous week that set her off? Well, Avril and some friends went to Chateau, and walked right by Lindsay's table. Avril didn't see Lindsay, so she didn't acknowledge her. --Lindsay thought Avril was SNUBBING her, which pissed her off. So when Avril found out later that Lindsay was there, and tried to come over to Lindsay's table to say hello, Lindsay totally ignored her. --But we should probably note that while Avril's reaction to Lindsay during their second meeting at Chateau might have been exaggerated, Lindsay's response was not. --E!'s source corroborates the fact that Lindsay tried to get Avril kicked out. The source says, quote, "It was obvious that Lindsay was wasted, so the security didn't take her seriously. --"She looked completely disheveled as always. Avril is a very sweet girl, and she wouldn't start something with Lindsay for nothing. She never threatened her." --For the record, Lindsay is denying this whole mess. She told "Us Weekly", quote, "That is not true."
IS LINDSAY LOHAN WORKING WITH BRITNEY SPEARS' MANAGER???
LINDSAY LOHAN has reportedly reached out to Larry Rudolph for some assistance in resurrecting her career. --You may have heard of this guy before. He's the manager who helped pull BRITNEY SPEARS out of the very DEPTHS OF CRAZY and get her career back on track. --TMZ claims Rudolph is helping out a little, but he's not going to dive in unless he's sure Lindsay is ready to get the help she needs. A so-called "source" says, quote, "He's not 100% in yet. [But] if Rudolph feels Lindsay is ready, he's onboard." --But it sounds like Larry is DENYING this. When asked to comment, he said, quote, "TMZ has a very vivid imagination."
MICHAEL LOHAN WANTS TO LOCK LINDSAY AWAY IN A CASTLE . . . ???
The so-called "rehab facility" on Long Island that LINDSAY LOHAN'S dad wants to send her to isn't a rehab facility at all. It's a CASTLE. Technically, it's a fancy resort called Oheka Castle. (--Kevin Jonas got married there.) --Michael's plan, according to TMZ, is to rent out the top section and make it into a rehab facility for Lindsay. Which would cost about 10-grand PER DAY. --That's a little steep for Lindsay these days. But Michael claims several family members have come forward to help pay for it. (???)
JUSTIN BIEBER TAKES ONE DAY A WEEK TO BE A NORMAL KID:
JUSTIN BIEBER may be only 16, but the amount of fame and success he's enjoyed up to this point could easily go to his head. In order to keep that from happening, Justin takes one day a week to be a normal kid. --On yesterday's "Oprah", Justin said, quote, "We try to take off at least one day a week for me to be a regular kid, go play basketball, hang out with my friends and, you know, just do what I like to do. --"Sometimes for that day I just sleep all day because the six days before I'm exhausted." --Justin's mom, Pattie, also makes sure to keep his head on straight. She even grounds him when she has to. --He said, quote, "My mom takes things that I really like, like my computer, my phone. She takes my phone away for a couple of days and I'm like, 'Oh, I need that!'" --He added that if he tries to pull any "I'm Justin Bieber" crap on her, quote, "She'll slap me in the face!" --Justin also had a hard time explaining his sudden rise to fame . . . especially the way girls scream at him. --He said, quote, "It's pretty hard to comprehend. Like everything's just kind of surreal. I have no clue!"
MILEY CYRUS AND JUSTIN BIEBER WENT OUT TOGETHER ON MONDAY NIGHT:
For reasons that have yet to be explained, MILEY CYRUS and JUSTIN BIEBER went out together on Monday night. They ate at a Hollywood sushi joint called Ari-Ya, then had frozen yogurt at Pinkberry. --The paparazzi asked them if they were planning to work on any music together. Justin said, quote, "Maybe" . . . and Miley added, quote, "For a side project." (--Nobody seems to think these two could be dating. As far as we know, Miley is still with Liam Hemsworth. Here's video . . .) http://x17online.com/celebrities/miley_cyrus/x17_xclusive_miley_cyrus_and_justin_bieber_have_a_dinner_date-05112010.php
TIGER WOODS' SWING COACH HAS RESIGNED . . . VIA TEXT:
TIGER WOODS' swing coach, Hank Haney, resigned Monday night. Ironically, via text. --In a statement to the Golf Channel, Haney said, quote, "I believe at this time that it is in both of our best interests for me to step aside as Tiger's coach. --"I will always look back upon our past half dozen years together as my best days in professional golf." --In an interview later on, he said, quote, "I texted him last night [that I was leaving], and he texted me back. We went back and forth for a while, but he had his kids last night and couldn't talk. We are going to talk later today." --Haney also predicted that Tiger would be back on top some day . . . quote, "As we all know, Tiger has been through a lot in the past six months, and I really believe that given the chance, mind free and injury free, we will all see Tiger Woods play once again like we all know he can."
ARE SOME OF THE LESSER "TWILIGHT" ACTORS HOLDING OUT FOR MORE CASH???
Summit Entertainment plans to announce any day now that the fourth "Twilight" book, "Breaking Dawn", will be split into two movies. --The reason they haven't done so yet is because they're having trouble locking in some of the lesser actors. --ROBERT PATTINSON, KRISTEN STEWART and TAYLOR LAUTNER all have deals in place. And not surprisingly, they're getting massive raises. --"Dreamgirls" director Bill Condon is also on board for both flicks . . . as are Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen) and Billy Burke (Charlie Swan). --But some of the supporting players are trying to get a chunk of that mad "Twilight" money, too, and they're causing headaches for the producers. --Two troublemakers who've been mentioned by name are KELLAN LUTZ and ASHLEY GREENE . . . who play Emmet and Alice Cullen. --According to the "Hollywood Reporter", they've been offered 10 TIMES what they made for the original "Twilight". But given how much money the franchise has generated, they were actually OFFENDED by the offer. --The producers may not give in entirely, though. A source close to the negotiations says, quote, "We may have a situation where one of them is thrown out on the street to make a point." --As "Twilight" fans know, it wouldn't be the first time someone got tossed overboard for rocking the boat. --RACHELLE LEFEVRE . . . who played Victoria in the first two movies . . . was given the boot and replaced by BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD, after her reps tried to play hardball over salary and scheduling issues. --Summit hopes to start shooting the two "Breaking Dawn" movies this fall, and release them in November of 2011 and the summer of 2012.
HERE'S THE "SUPER 8" TRAILER:
The trailer for J.J. ABRAMS' new movie, "Super 8", has hit the World Wide Web of Time-Wasting. (--It's the trailer that's running before "Iron Man 2".) -It's just a "teaser", so not much is revealed. But it's pretty obvious this movie involves ALIENS. --"Super 8" . . . which is being produced by STEVEN SPIELBERG . . . is due out next summer. (--Check out the trailer here . . .) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAwYpSMsD-Y
WILL CHARLIE SHEEN WALK AWAY FROM "TWO AND A HALF MEN" . . . AND THE $100 MILLION HE COULD MAKE OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS?
With all the chaos happening in his personal life, CHARLIE SHEEN has had his hands full over the past few months . . . and that also includes his negotiations to re-up for more "Two and a Half Men". --The latest word is that the two sides are still far apart. According to TMZ, Charlie could pull down somewhere between $60 million and $100 million in a new deal, including various incentives and whatnot. (--Charlie is already the highest paid actor in primetime. He reportedly made $875,000 per episode last season. There's no word what he's asking for now . . . although a while back we heard that he turned down $1 million an episode.) --The thing is, Charlie doesn't care about the money. And he'd be just as happy moving on. A source says, quote, "If it doesn't happen it literally wouldn't faze him. Charlie is really into his sobriety now. He likes the show but it brings back bad memories." --Not surprisingly, JON CRYER is NOT as carefree about the future of the show. He would reportedly make around $20 million over the next two years if it continues . . . and sources are saying he wants that to happen. (--And we've heard that 16-year-old ANGUS T. JONES, who plays Jake, makes around $250,000 an episode. Something tells me he'd be up for more, too.)
ERIN ANDREWS SAYS SHE NEVER TALKED WITH ELISABETH HASSELBECK:
Remember when ELISABETH HASSELBECK issued that public apology on "The View" for ripping ESPN’s ERIN ANDREWS? (--Elisabeth had insinuated that Erin shouldn't wear revealing clothing on "Dancing with the Stars" . . . just because she was the victim of a peeping tom. Yeah, that still sounds as stupid as it did when she said it.) --Well, Elisabeth also said that she'd called Erin to apologize privately. She made a big point of it . . . saying that she did it on the advice of her five-year-old daughter. --But now, Erin is saying that never happened. She tells "Us" magazine, quote, "I didn't speak with her, no. I never talked to her." --She adds that she's over it though . . . quote, "[I've] dealt with [it]. I'm moving on. I'm tired of talking about it. It's a new week."
ABC HAS PULLED "HAPPY TOWN" OFF THE AIR:
On April 28th, ABC premiered a small town crime drama called "Happy Town". And now . . . just two weeks later . . . they've yanked it from their schedule, after the first two episodes only averaged 4.5 million viewers. --Five more episodes were shot, and ABC will burn them off beginning on June 2nd.
NICKELODEON IS PLANNING A LIVE MUSIC FESTIVAL:
Nickelodeon is currently putting together something called the Nickelodeon Mega Music Fest, which will be a concert event that will air on TV. --JOHN LEGUIZAMO will host the show, which will be filmed on May 22nd . . . and will be broadcast sometime this summer. (--No airdate has been announced.) --Performers will include Colbie Caillat, Wyclef Jean and The Roots . . . plus Nickelodeon characters like Dora the Explorer and the cast of "Yo Gabba Gabba!" and children's music acts such as The Fresh Beat Band and The Laurie Berkner Band. --The show's performances will combine animation with live-action.
IS MTV REPLACING THE ENTIRE CAST OF "JERSEY SHORE" NEXT SEASON?
This seems pretty hard to believe, but we thought we'd toss it out there anyway. --Supposedly, a casting director for "Jersey Shore" told "Blackbook" magazine that MTV is planning on replacing the entire cast of the show for its third season. (--Really? These morons are celebrities now. They're the reason people watch this nonsense. I can't believe that MTV would scrap the entire cast.)
AND NOW . . . THERE'S A FACEBOOK CAMPAIGN TO INSTALL BETTY WHITE AS THE HOST OF THE OSCARS:
After a successful petition to bring BETTY WHITE to "Saturday Night Live" . . . there's now a new Facebook campaign to make Betty the next host of the Oscars. It's called, simply, Getting Betty White to Host the Academy Awards. --As of late last night, almost 43,000 people have linked up to the page by "liking" it. The "SNL" Facebook campaign grew to over 515,000 members. (--Here's the link to the "Getting Betty White to Host the Academy Awards" campaign . . .) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Getting-Betty-White-to-Host-the-Academy-Awards/115984301773436 (--There's also another Facebook campaign to make Betty the host of this year's Emmy Awards. But JIMMY FALLON has already secured that gig.)
"KATE PLUS EIGHT" HAS A PREMIERE DATE:
The "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" spin-off, "Kate Plus Eight", will debut on Sunday, June 6th at 9:00 P.M. on TLC. Again, this won't be a regular, weekly show. TLC is calling it a "limited" series of specials, which will air irregularly. --Kate does have a regular series in the works as well. It's called "Twist of Kate" . . . and it'll premiere later this year. (--As far as we know, the children will only be appearing in "Kate Plus Eight". The other show will be all Kate.)
"DANCING WITH THE STARS" HAS WON THE WEEK AGAIN . . . BEATING "AMERICAN IDOL" BY JUST 60,000 VIEWERS:
"Dancing with the Stars" held off "American Idol" for one more week to stay on top of the TV ratings. But it was a close one. A very close one. "Idol" only trailed by about 60,000 viewers. Here are last week's Top 20 shows . . .
1.) "Dancing with the Stars" performance show, ABC, 19.64 million viewers
2.) Wednesday's "American Idol" results show, Fox, 19.58 million viewers
3.) Tuesday's "American Idol" performance show, Fox, 17.5 million viewers
LADY GAGA WANTS TO DIE ONSTAGE:
LADY GAGA recently announced that she'd be extending her tour into NEXT year, which is a little crazy . . . since she's already been touring relentlessly for six months now. But she isn't afraid of overdoing it. --At a show in Sweden over the weekend, Lady Gaga addressed the crowd, several times, in the middle of performing "Speechless". --She said, quote, "You know when people say, 'Lady Gaga's really tired, she needs to take a break' . . . I just think about all those times I sang in bars when nobody was singing my lyrics. I'll sleep when I'm dead, OK?" --She added, quote, "I know that I work really hard and run myself into the ground . . . and I also know that alcohol will kill me one day . . . but I would rather not die on vacation. I'd rather die onstage with all my fans." (--Here's video of Lady Gaga's "Speechless" speech . . .)
http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=46014ea0-8ae2-421c-b98c-ccbe5731b771 (--The Swedish fans screamed after everything she said, including her line about alcohol killing her one day. I'm not sure if it was a language barrier thing, or if they were just excited about Lady Gaga dying in a badass way.)
BRET MICHAELS HAS ADDED EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS TO HIS TOUR:
It's still unclear when BRET MICHAELS will return to the stage . . . although some people say it could be as soon as two weeks from now. But when he does return, there will reportedly be new emergency medical protocols in place. --According to TMZ, quote, "someone in the crew will be required to provide the bus drivers with a list of every hospital from [the] current location to [the] next location . . . addresses and all . . . so in the event of an emergency, they have the info readily available." (--It's unclear if their old emergency plan . . . of meeting at the telephone pole if something happens and they get separated . . . is still in place.) (???) --Bret suffered a brain hemorrhage last month. He's since been released from the hospital, and is recovering at a private rehab facility.
"MATHEMATICS" PROVE A TWISTED SISTER TOUR WOULD BE A "MONEY-LOSING" PROPOSITION:
TWISTED SISTER will never tour again . . . but not because no one's interested in paying to see them, at least not directly. It's because a tour would be a "money-losing proposition." --Guitarist JAY JAY FRENCH has crunched the numbers, and it doesn't work. --He tells NoiseCreep.com, quote, "We will never tour [again]. I look at the mathematics of it every year, the mathematics makes no sense. None. --"Every year people ask me, [and] every year I revisit the math. Every year it completely makes no sense to tour. It's just an incredibly money-losing proposition. I don't like losing money. --"I know what these [other] bands make, I know their lifestyle, I know what they do. I can't function that way. I don't believe it's viable for them. I believe they [tour] because they really have no other options on this planet. --"And by going out on the road constantly, they de-value themselves because they're out there all the time. We work in a completely separate business model. If I don't play, guess what? My value increases, doesn't it? --"So the less I play, the more valuable I become. So I work completely opposite. I'll bet you I make more money playing 12 [individual] shows than most [other] bands make playing [a] 50-show [tour]." (--"Supply and demand" in the music business may work if fans want what you're withholding . . . are willing to wait for it . . . and the product is worth the wait. I think AXL ROSE tried it with "Chinese Democracy". It didn't work.)
BILLY CORGAN LIKES HIS BASSISTS *FEMALE*:
The SMASHING PUMPKINS have introduced their new bassist . . . and not surprisingly, it's a woman. (--The bands previous bassists have all been girls: D'ARCY WRETZKY, MELISSA AUF DER MAUR and GINGER POOLEY.) --We're not sure if BILLY CORGAN even bothered to audition any men . . . or if he just cut to the chase. --The new bassist is Nicole Fiorentino, who you wouldn't know unless you're a VERUCA SALT fan . . . a CONTEMPORARY Veruca Salt fan. She wasn't around for their mid-'90s "Seether" fame. She was in the band from 2005-2009. --According to SmashingPumpkins.com, Nicole will "perform with the Pumpkins on their world tour later this year." (--The site also has a picture of her with Billy . . .) http://www.thesmashingpumpkins.com/ --Oh and by the way, the band's current guitarist, Jeff Schroeder, is ASIAN . . . just like former guitarist JAMES IHA. (--This can't all be a coincidence, can it?) --Jeff, however, is Korean-American and James was Japanese-American. (--Sadly, we couldn't find any direct comparisons between legendary Pumpkins drummer JIMMY CHAMBERLIN and their current drummer, 20-year-old MIKE BYRNE.)
T.I. HAS BEEN BOOKED ON "LARRY KING LIVE":
T.I. will appear on "Larry King Live" tomorrow night . . . where he'll talk about spending nine months in prison on a felony weapons rap. It'll be his first major interview since his release. --As usual, "Larry King Live" will air at 9:00 P.M. Eastern on CNN. (--Last year, T.I. was sentenced to 366 days in prison. He began serving his sentence in May. He was transferred to a halfway house at the end of December and was released from custody at the end of March.)
Someone is supposedly shopping a video featuring a 16-year-old MILEY CYRUS giving a grown man a lap dance. (--She turns 18 in November.) --It happened . . . allegedly . . . at the wrap party for Miley's latest movie, "The Last Song". The recipient of the lap dance is Adam Shankman . . . one of the film's producers. He's openly gay, by the way. --A so-called "source" says the video includes a scene where Shankman grinds up against Miley's backside on the dance floor . . . and she grinds right back.--Then she turns around and, quote, "seductively opens the top layer of her shirt." After some suggestive dancing, Miley gives Shankman the lap dance. -A so-called "source" says, quote, "The worst part is that there were little kids at the party and the dancing between Miley and Adam was so dirty that some of the parents actually left the party and took their kids home." --Miley's parents were NOT at the party. (--But I guess if Billy Ray were there, he would have just chalked it up to Miley expressing herself artistically, and allowed it to continue. He's SO progressive.) --This isn't the first time Shankman and Miley have been involved in controversy. --Last June, while the movie was still shooting, Shankman posted a pair of suggestive-looking photos of Miley in the makeup trailer on Twitter. --When people criticized the photos, Shankman said, quote, "Miley is a sweet angel who works tirelessly and endlessly, and is allowed to have fun in the make up room! --"Lighten up or no more behind the scenes pics! She's my little angel sister."

LARRY KING AND HIS WIFE ARE LIVING TOGETHER AGAIN:
LARRY KING and his wife SHAWN are living together again, and it looks like they're going to try to make it work. --They issued a statement yesterday, saying, quote, "We love our children, we love each other, we love being a family. That is all that matters to us. --"We owe it to ourselves and our children to continue being dedicated to each other.

MICKEY ROURKE IS TRYING SOMETHING NEW: FIDELITY!!!
MICKEY ROURKE is trying something new these days: FIDELITY. --Mickey . . . who's 57 . . . is dating a 24-year-old Russian model named Anastasia Makarenko. And so far, he hasn't cheated. --He says, quote, "I haven't (effed) around on her. I haven't been that way in 23 years so this is new for me and it's not easy. Sure, I could do something on the side but I've got to live with myself. --"That's something new for me, being honest in a relationship." --But that doesn't mean Mickey is ready to make The Big jump again. he says, quote, "I haven't thought about [marriage] yet. I've only had two girlfriends in my life. I'm either alone or in a relationship for four or five years." (--Not sure what he means about only having two girlfriends. He's been married twice . . . to actress Debra Feuer from 1981 to 1989, and to actress Carré Otis from 1992 to 1998.)
DID BRITNEY SPEARS LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT PANTIES AGAIN???
It's been a while since a celebrity has left home SANS PANTIES. But if anybody was going to bring that trend back, it had to be BRITNEY SPEARS. --Britney had dinner with one of her bodyguards at a gay bar called The Abbey yesterday afternoon. And it looks like she may not have been wearing any underwear. (--The pictures are inconclusive, actually. But based on the evidence, a strong case can be made that she's minus her panties. Hit up this link, and closely examine pictures 12 through 18 . . .) http://x17online.com/gallery/view_gallery.php?gallery=spearsbruise051010_X17
IS IT ON BETWEEN LINDSAY LOHAN AND AVRIL LAVIGNE???
Something is happening between LINDSAY LOHAN and AVRIL LAVIGNE . . . and some might even say IT'S ON!!! --There are various reports about this budding feud, and some of them have conflicting information. We'll start with the most dramatic . . . which, not surprisingly, comes from the "New York Post". -They say that about a week ago, Avril was hanging out with her boyfriend, BRODY JENNER, and some other friends at a place called Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. --Lindsay approached her table to say hello, and Avril WENT OFF. She said, quote, "Get the hell out of my face, you are fake, you are a loser. I don't like false people. Stay away from me and my friends." --Lindsay yelled back, quote, "Don't threaten me!" Then she ran to security and tried to get them to kick Avril out. When they refused, Lindsay, quote, "stormed off." --But, a source close to Avril told E! News that Avril did NOT go off on Lindsay or call her a loser. But she did refuse to speak with her. --Here's why . . . quote, "Lindsay had offended Avril a week before and Avril simply told Lindsay that she was upset about what had happened, and that she didn't want to talk to her." --What did Lindsay do the previous week that set her off? Well, Avril and some friends went to Chateau, and walked right by Lindsay's table. Avril didn't see Lindsay, so she didn't acknowledge her. --Lindsay thought Avril was SNUBBING her, which pissed her off. So when Avril found out later that Lindsay was there, and tried to come over to Lindsay's table to say hello, Lindsay totally ignored her. --But we should probably note that while Avril's reaction to Lindsay during their second meeting at Chateau might have been exaggerated, Lindsay's response was not. --E!'s source corroborates the fact that Lindsay tried to get Avril kicked out. The source says, quote, "It was obvious that Lindsay was wasted, so the security didn't take her seriously. --"She looked completely disheveled as always. Avril is a very sweet girl, and she wouldn't start something with Lindsay for nothing. She never threatened her." --For the record, Lindsay is denying this whole mess. She told "Us Weekly", quote, "That is not true."
IS LINDSAY LOHAN WORKING WITH BRITNEY SPEARS' MANAGER???
LINDSAY LOHAN has reportedly reached out to Larry Rudolph for some assistance in resurrecting her career. --You may have heard of this guy before. He's the manager who helped pull BRITNEY SPEARS out of the very DEPTHS OF CRAZY and get her career back on track. --TMZ claims Rudolph is helping out a little, but he's not going to dive in unless he's sure Lindsay is ready to get the help she needs. A so-called "source" says, quote, "He's not 100% in yet. [But] if Rudolph feels Lindsay is ready, he's onboard." --But it sounds like Larry is DENYING this. When asked to comment, he said, quote, "TMZ has a very vivid imagination."
MICHAEL LOHAN WANTS TO LOCK LINDSAY AWAY IN A CASTLE . . . ???
The so-called "rehab facility" on Long Island that LINDSAY LOHAN'S dad wants to send her to isn't a rehab facility at all. It's a CASTLE. Technically, it's a fancy resort called Oheka Castle. (--Kevin Jonas got married there.) --Michael's plan, according to TMZ, is to rent out the top section and make it into a rehab facility for Lindsay. Which would cost about 10-grand PER DAY. --That's a little steep for Lindsay these days. But Michael claims several family members have come forward to help pay for it. (???)
JUSTIN BIEBER TAKES ONE DAY A WEEK TO BE A NORMAL KID:
JUSTIN BIEBER may be only 16, but the amount of fame and success he's enjoyed up to this point could easily go to his head. In order to keep that from happening, Justin takes one day a week to be a normal kid. --On yesterday's "Oprah", Justin said, quote, "We try to take off at least one day a week for me to be a regular kid, go play basketball, hang out with my friends and, you know, just do what I like to do. --"Sometimes for that day I just sleep all day because the six days before I'm exhausted." --Justin's mom, Pattie, also makes sure to keep his head on straight. She even grounds him when she has to. --He said, quote, "My mom takes things that I really like, like my computer, my phone. She takes my phone away for a couple of days and I'm like, 'Oh, I need that!'" --He added that if he tries to pull any "I'm Justin Bieber" crap on her, quote, "She'll slap me in the face!" --Justin also had a hard time explaining his sudden rise to fame . . . especially the way girls scream at him. --He said, quote, "It's pretty hard to comprehend. Like everything's just kind of surreal. I have no clue!"
MILEY CYRUS AND JUSTIN BIEBER WENT OUT TOGETHER ON MONDAY NIGHT:
For reasons that have yet to be explained, MILEY CYRUS and JUSTIN BIEBER went out together on Monday night. They ate at a Hollywood sushi joint called Ari-Ya, then had frozen yogurt at Pinkberry. --The paparazzi asked them if they were planning to work on any music together. Justin said, quote, "Maybe" . . . and Miley added, quote, "For a side project." (--Nobody seems to think these two could be dating. As far as we know, Miley is still with Liam Hemsworth. Here's video . . .) http://x17online.com/celebrities/miley_cyrus/x17_xclusive_miley_cyrus_and_justin_bieber_have_a_dinner_date-05112010.php
TIGER WOODS' SWING COACH HAS RESIGNED . . . VIA TEXT:
TIGER WOODS' swing coach, Hank Haney, resigned Monday night. Ironically, via text. --In a statement to the Golf Channel, Haney said, quote, "I believe at this time that it is in both of our best interests for me to step aside as Tiger's coach. --"I will always look back upon our past half dozen years together as my best days in professional golf." --In an interview later on, he said, quote, "I texted him last night [that I was leaving], and he texted me back. We went back and forth for a while, but he had his kids last night and couldn't talk. We are going to talk later today." --Haney also predicted that Tiger would be back on top some day . . . quote, "As we all know, Tiger has been through a lot in the past six months, and I really believe that given the chance, mind free and injury free, we will all see Tiger Woods play once again like we all know he can."
ARE SOME OF THE LESSER "TWILIGHT" ACTORS HOLDING OUT FOR MORE CASH???
Summit Entertainment plans to announce any day now that the fourth "Twilight" book, "Breaking Dawn", will be split into two movies. --The reason they haven't done so yet is because they're having trouble locking in some of the lesser actors. --ROBERT PATTINSON, KRISTEN STEWART and TAYLOR LAUTNER all have deals in place. And not surprisingly, they're getting massive raises. --"Dreamgirls" director Bill Condon is also on board for both flicks . . . as are Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen) and Billy Burke (Charlie Swan). --But some of the supporting players are trying to get a chunk of that mad "Twilight" money, too, and they're causing headaches for the producers. --Two troublemakers who've been mentioned by name are KELLAN LUTZ and ASHLEY GREENE . . . who play Emmet and Alice Cullen. --According to the "Hollywood Reporter", they've been offered 10 TIMES what they made for the original "Twilight". But given how much money the franchise has generated, they were actually OFFENDED by the offer. --The producers may not give in entirely, though. A source close to the negotiations says, quote, "We may have a situation where one of them is thrown out on the street to make a point." --As "Twilight" fans know, it wouldn't be the first time someone got tossed overboard for rocking the boat. --RACHELLE LEFEVRE . . . who played Victoria in the first two movies . . . was given the boot and replaced by BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD, after her reps tried to play hardball over salary and scheduling issues. --Summit hopes to start shooting the two "Breaking Dawn" movies this fall, and release them in November of 2011 and the summer of 2012.
HERE'S THE "SUPER 8" TRAILER:
The trailer for J.J. ABRAMS' new movie, "Super 8", has hit the World Wide Web of Time-Wasting. (--It's the trailer that's running before "Iron Man 2".) -It's just a "teaser", so not much is revealed. But it's pretty obvious this movie involves ALIENS. --"Super 8" . . . which is being produced by STEVEN SPIELBERG . . . is due out next summer. (--Check out the trailer here . . .) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAwYpSMsD-Y
WILL CHARLIE SHEEN WALK AWAY FROM "TWO AND A HALF MEN" . . . AND THE $100 MILLION HE COULD MAKE OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS?
With all the chaos happening in his personal life, CHARLIE SHEEN has had his hands full over the past few months . . . and that also includes his negotiations to re-up for more "Two and a Half Men". --The latest word is that the two sides are still far apart. According to TMZ, Charlie could pull down somewhere between $60 million and $100 million in a new deal, including various incentives and whatnot. (--Charlie is already the highest paid actor in primetime. He reportedly made $875,000 per episode last season. There's no word what he's asking for now . . . although a while back we heard that he turned down $1 million an episode.) --The thing is, Charlie doesn't care about the money. And he'd be just as happy moving on. A source says, quote, "If it doesn't happen it literally wouldn't faze him. Charlie is really into his sobriety now. He likes the show but it brings back bad memories." --Not surprisingly, JON CRYER is NOT as carefree about the future of the show. He would reportedly make around $20 million over the next two years if it continues . . . and sources are saying he wants that to happen. (--And we've heard that 16-year-old ANGUS T. JONES, who plays Jake, makes around $250,000 an episode. Something tells me he'd be up for more, too.)
ERIN ANDREWS SAYS SHE NEVER TALKED WITH ELISABETH HASSELBECK:
Remember when ELISABETH HASSELBECK issued that public apology on "The View" for ripping ESPN’s ERIN ANDREWS? (--Elisabeth had insinuated that Erin shouldn't wear revealing clothing on "Dancing with the Stars" . . . just because she was the victim of a peeping tom. Yeah, that still sounds as stupid as it did when she said it.) --Well, Elisabeth also said that she'd called Erin to apologize privately. She made a big point of it . . . saying that she did it on the advice of her five-year-old daughter. --But now, Erin is saying that never happened. She tells "Us" magazine, quote, "I didn't speak with her, no. I never talked to her." --She adds that she's over it though . . . quote, "[I've] dealt with [it]. I'm moving on. I'm tired of talking about it. It's a new week."
ABC HAS PULLED "HAPPY TOWN" OFF THE AIR:
On April 28th, ABC premiered a small town crime drama called "Happy Town". And now . . . just two weeks later . . . they've yanked it from their schedule, after the first two episodes only averaged 4.5 million viewers. --Five more episodes were shot, and ABC will burn them off beginning on June 2nd.
NICKELODEON IS PLANNING A LIVE MUSIC FESTIVAL:
Nickelodeon is currently putting together something called the Nickelodeon Mega Music Fest, which will be a concert event that will air on TV. --JOHN LEGUIZAMO will host the show, which will be filmed on May 22nd . . . and will be broadcast sometime this summer. (--No airdate has been announced.) --Performers will include Colbie Caillat, Wyclef Jean and The Roots . . . plus Nickelodeon characters like Dora the Explorer and the cast of "Yo Gabba Gabba!" and children's music acts such as The Fresh Beat Band and The Laurie Berkner Band. --The show's performances will combine animation with live-action.
IS MTV REPLACING THE ENTIRE CAST OF "JERSEY SHORE" NEXT SEASON?
This seems pretty hard to believe, but we thought we'd toss it out there anyway. --Supposedly, a casting director for "Jersey Shore" told "Blackbook" magazine that MTV is planning on replacing the entire cast of the show for its third season. (--Really? These morons are celebrities now. They're the reason people watch this nonsense. I can't believe that MTV would scrap the entire cast.)
AND NOW . . . THERE'S A FACEBOOK CAMPAIGN TO INSTALL BETTY WHITE AS THE HOST OF THE OSCARS:
After a successful petition to bring BETTY WHITE to "Saturday Night Live" . . . there's now a new Facebook campaign to make Betty the next host of the Oscars. It's called, simply, Getting Betty White to Host the Academy Awards. --As of late last night, almost 43,000 people have linked up to the page by "liking" it. The "SNL" Facebook campaign grew to over 515,000 members. (--Here's the link to the "Getting Betty White to Host the Academy Awards" campaign . . .) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Getting-Betty-White-to-Host-the-Academy-Awards/115984301773436 (--There's also another Facebook campaign to make Betty the host of this year's Emmy Awards. But JIMMY FALLON has already secured that gig.)
"KATE PLUS EIGHT" HAS A PREMIERE DATE:
The "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" spin-off, "Kate Plus Eight", will debut on Sunday, June 6th at 9:00 P.M. on TLC. Again, this won't be a regular, weekly show. TLC is calling it a "limited" series of specials, which will air irregularly. --Kate does have a regular series in the works as well. It's called "Twist of Kate" . . . and it'll premiere later this year. (--As far as we know, the children will only be appearing in "Kate Plus Eight". The other show will be all Kate.)
"DANCING WITH THE STARS" HAS WON THE WEEK AGAIN . . . BEATING "AMERICAN IDOL" BY JUST 60,000 VIEWERS:
"Dancing with the Stars" held off "American Idol" for one more week to stay on top of the TV ratings. But it was a close one. A very close one. "Idol" only trailed by about 60,000 viewers. Here are last week's Top 20 shows . . .
1.) "Dancing with the Stars" performance show, ABC, 19.64 million viewers
2.) Wednesday's "American Idol" results show, Fox, 19.58 million viewers
3.) Tuesday's "American Idol" performance show, Fox, 17.5 million viewers
LADY GAGA WANTS TO DIE ONSTAGE:
LADY GAGA recently announced that she'd be extending her tour into NEXT year, which is a little crazy . . . since she's already been touring relentlessly for six months now. But she isn't afraid of overdoing it. --At a show in Sweden over the weekend, Lady Gaga addressed the crowd, several times, in the middle of performing "Speechless". --She said, quote, "You know when people say, 'Lady Gaga's really tired, she needs to take a break' . . . I just think about all those times I sang in bars when nobody was singing my lyrics. I'll sleep when I'm dead, OK?" --She added, quote, "I know that I work really hard and run myself into the ground . . . and I also know that alcohol will kill me one day . . . but I would rather not die on vacation. I'd rather die onstage with all my fans." (--Here's video of Lady Gaga's "Speechless" speech . . .)
http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=46014ea0-8ae2-421c-b98c-ccbe5731b771 (--The Swedish fans screamed after everything she said, including her line about alcohol killing her one day. I'm not sure if it was a language barrier thing, or if they were just excited about Lady Gaga dying in a badass way.)
BRET MICHAELS HAS ADDED EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS TO HIS TOUR:
It's still unclear when BRET MICHAELS will return to the stage . . . although some people say it could be as soon as two weeks from now. But when he does return, there will reportedly be new emergency medical protocols in place. --According to TMZ, quote, "someone in the crew will be required to provide the bus drivers with a list of every hospital from [the] current location to [the] next location . . . addresses and all . . . so in the event of an emergency, they have the info readily available." (--It's unclear if their old emergency plan . . . of meeting at the telephone pole if something happens and they get separated . . . is still in place.) (???) --Bret suffered a brain hemorrhage last month. He's since been released from the hospital, and is recovering at a private rehab facility.
"MATHEMATICS" PROVE A TWISTED SISTER TOUR WOULD BE A "MONEY-LOSING" PROPOSITION:
TWISTED SISTER will never tour again . . . but not because no one's interested in paying to see them, at least not directly. It's because a tour would be a "money-losing proposition." --Guitarist JAY JAY FRENCH has crunched the numbers, and it doesn't work. --He tells NoiseCreep.com, quote, "We will never tour [again]. I look at the mathematics of it every year, the mathematics makes no sense. None. --"Every year people ask me, [and] every year I revisit the math. Every year it completely makes no sense to tour. It's just an incredibly money-losing proposition. I don't like losing money. --"I know what these [other] bands make, I know their lifestyle, I know what they do. I can't function that way. I don't believe it's viable for them. I believe they [tour] because they really have no other options on this planet. --"And by going out on the road constantly, they de-value themselves because they're out there all the time. We work in a completely separate business model. If I don't play, guess what? My value increases, doesn't it? --"So the less I play, the more valuable I become. So I work completely opposite. I'll bet you I make more money playing 12 [individual] shows than most [other] bands make playing [a] 50-show [tour]." (--"Supply and demand" in the music business may work if fans want what you're withholding . . . are willing to wait for it . . . and the product is worth the wait. I think AXL ROSE tried it with "Chinese Democracy". It didn't work.)
BILLY CORGAN LIKES HIS BASSISTS *FEMALE*:
The SMASHING PUMPKINS have introduced their new bassist . . . and not surprisingly, it's a woman. (--The bands previous bassists have all been girls: D'ARCY WRETZKY, MELISSA AUF DER MAUR and GINGER POOLEY.) --We're not sure if BILLY CORGAN even bothered to audition any men . . . or if he just cut to the chase. --The new bassist is Nicole Fiorentino, who you wouldn't know unless you're a VERUCA SALT fan . . . a CONTEMPORARY Veruca Salt fan. She wasn't around for their mid-'90s "Seether" fame. She was in the band from 2005-2009. --According to SmashingPumpkins.com, Nicole will "perform with the Pumpkins on their world tour later this year." (--The site also has a picture of her with Billy . . .) http://www.thesmashingpumpkins.com/ --Oh and by the way, the band's current guitarist, Jeff Schroeder, is ASIAN . . . just like former guitarist JAMES IHA. (--This can't all be a coincidence, can it?) --Jeff, however, is Korean-American and James was Japanese-American. (--Sadly, we couldn't find any direct comparisons between legendary Pumpkins drummer JIMMY CHAMBERLIN and their current drummer, 20-year-old MIKE BYRNE.)
T.I. HAS BEEN BOOKED ON "LARRY KING LIVE":
T.I. will appear on "Larry King Live" tomorrow night . . . where he'll talk about spending nine months in prison on a felony weapons rap. It'll be his first major interview since his release. --As usual, "Larry King Live" will air at 9:00 P.M. Eastern on CNN. (--Last year, T.I. was sentenced to 366 days in prison. He began serving his sentence in May. He was transferred to a halfway house at the end of December and was released from custody at the end of March.)
NAZZY'S RANDOM STUFF
NEXT MONTH'S "PLAYBOY" HAS A 3-D CENTERFOLD:
It's no secret that all the readily available smut online has caused "Playboy's" circulation numbers to take a nosedive. So it's no surprise they're jumping on the 3-D bandwagon and resorting to gimmicks like THIS . . . --Next month's issue of "Playboy" will feature a 3-D photo of centerfold Hope Dworaczyk. (--Her last name's pronounced . . . ah, who cares.) And it even comes with a pair of 3-D glasses so you can check out the goods as soon as you get home. --In the picture, Hope's got a wine glass, and it kind of looks like she's trying to hand it to you. Plus, 3-D has other advantages . . . like making Hope's cans look a whole lot bigger. --Or as she puts it, quote, "It's kind of like it says on the rearview mirror. Things may appear larger." (???) --HUGH HEFNER says it's not the first time "Playboy" has thought about using 3-D. After all, quote, "What would people most like to see in 3-D? Probably a naked lady." --The issue goes on sale Friday. (Yahoo News)
THE MISS USA PAGEANT RELEASED THEIR OFFICIAL PROMO PHOTOS OF THE CONTESTANTS . . . AND THEY'RE PRETTY RISQUÉ:
Officials with the Miss USA contest released promo photos of all the pageant contestants this week. They're pretty hot, and a lot more suggestive than in the past. --The theme was "Waking Up In Vegas." Think: Fishnets, boy shorts, corsets, posing on beds, stuff like that. You'll definitely feel like a dirty old man looking at them. --The Miss USA contest takes place on Saturday. (StyleList) (--You can link to a slideshow of all the promo photos here . . .)

A HOT FITNESS INSTRUCTOR HELPED PUT OUT A BURNING BUILDING WHILE SHE WAS TOPLESS:
Now it's time to recognize our Hero of the Day . . . Tash Bennett, of Darwin, Australia (--in the northern part of the country). --Tash is a fitness instructor, so you know she looks good. And last Thursday, she was sunbathing TOPLESS by the pool of her apartment complex when a nearby palm tree somehow caught fire. --Ash started raining down on the building, and the fire was about to get out of control. So Tash ran down to the reception desk to get help, then headed back upstairs and grabbed a fire hose to fight the blaze. --After about five minutes, she finally got it out. Which is about the time Tash looked down and noticed she'd been topless the entire time. --In all the excitement, she'd forgotten to put her top back on, and a crowd had gathered to enjoy the show she was putting on. --Tash says, quote, "I was pretty red-faced on the day, having to hold myself while running to reception. I was [sunbathing]. I wasn't exactly prepared. But you've got to put out the fire before you deal with that." -Then, to highlight just how much cooler she is than the rest of us, Tash stretched back out and caught a few more rays while she waited for the firefighters to show up.

#3.) A BEAR CUB WOULDN'T COME DOWN FROM A TREE, SO ITS MOTHER SNAPPED THE TREE IN HALF:At a zoo in Switzerland, a bear tried to shake her cub out of a tree. But it didn't work, so she climbed halfway up the tree and bent it until it snapped. (-- earch for "mama bear shakes baby from tree." The tree snaps at 1:01.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9Bj_W16kEw
#4.) A GUY HELD ONTO HIS BABY WHILE GETTING HIT BY A CAR: An Australian man was carrying his four-month-old baby when an elderly driver had a heart attack, crashed into him, and pinned him between her car and a building. --The guy broke his leg, but he never let go of his baby, and the baby wasn't injured.

FIVE NON-FOOD ITEMS THAT MAKE YOU GAIN WEIGHT:
Everyone knows that if you eat too much junk food, you'll gain weight. But there are some non-food-related reasons you gain weight too. Here are five that might surprise you . . .
#1.) LACK OF SLEEP. It slows down your metabolism. To prove it, "Glamour Magazine" told a group of women to get at least seven-and-a-half hours of sleep each night, but not make any changes to their diet or exercise routines. --After ten weeks, almost all of them lost at least five pounds. And one woman lost FIFTEEN.
#2.) CONSTANT STRESS. This is something that can ALSO be caused by a lack of sleep. Stress makes your body produce a hormone called cortisol, which makes you transfer stored sugar from your liver and muscles into your bloodstream. --That makes your insulin levels go up, which tells your body to store more fat.
#3.) STEROIDS. Not the kind athletes get caught using. The kind they give to livestock to make them grow faster. If a cow has steroids in its diet, and you eat the cow, YOU get those steroids too. Fat cows, and fat chickens equal fat people. --Organic meat and dairy is more expensive, but it's a lot better for you. In fact, organic PRODUCE is better too. A lot of the pesticides they use on fruits and vegetables mess with your hormones and slow down your metabolism.
#4.) FOOD PACKAGING. Some plastics and the lining of some cans contain BPA and PVC, which slow your metabolism just like pesticides do. --BPA stands for "bisphenol A" (--pronounced 'BIS-fe-noll A'). It's a compound they've used in hard plastic bottles and metal cans since the 1960s. And the FDA is still doing research to figure out how harmful it is. --It's most dangerous for babies and young children, but you should avoid it too. Check the little triangle on the bottom of plastic bottles. If it has a number "7" or a number "3" in the middle of it, that means it has BPA.
#5.) AN UNDIAGNOSED FOOD ALLERGY. Rashes and chronic digestive problems are signs of a food allergy, but so is excess weight gain. Eating foods you're allergic to causes inflammation, which can make you retain fluids. --If you think you have an undiagnosed food allergy, try eliminating some of the common triggers, like dairy, eggs, and wheat. And if that doesn't work, ask your doctor. (Glamour.com)
