HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW (07-22-10)
THE MEL GIBSON MELTDOWN
OKSANA GRIGORIEVA IS NOW BEING INVESTIGATED FOR EXTORTION:
MEL GIBSON and OKSANA GRIGORIEVA are certainly keeping the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department busy. --In addition to investigating Mel for domestic abuse, they're now investigating Oksana for EXTORTION. --Mel claims that Oksana tried to squeeze him for $10 million, using all the audio she secretly recorded of him and the pictures of the injuries he supposedly caused to her and their daughter. --That was before all that stuff started leaking online, obviously. For the record, Oksana continues to deny she had anything to do with any of it going public.
DID MEL THROW OKSANA'S SON ONTO A TABLE???
There's a new story going around that MEL GIBSON was physically abusive to OKSANA GRIGORIEVA'S 12-year-old son Alexander. --Supposedly, they were all at a party in Costa Rica last year, and Alexander was, quote, "playfully jumping up and down, trying to knock a cigarette out of Mel's mouth." --Well, Mel got bored with the kid's antics . . . and then he got pissed. A source says he, quote, "exploded by grabbing the boy and throwing him violently onto a table." --There were several witnesses, but it's not clear what they'll say to investigators. Sources close to Mel claim it was all harmless clowning around, and Alexander accidentally fell while reaching for the cigarette.
OLIVER STONE SAYS MEL GIBSON'S CAREER WILL BE FINE:
OLIVER STONE has said some really smart things in his day . . . and some really stupid things. History will have to decide where this one falls . . . --Oliver doesn't think anything that's happening right now will hurt MEL GIBSON'S career in the least. --He says, quote, "Everyone is supposed to have an opinion, but most directors don't work that way. Projects are developed slowly, and over the course of weeks, months, there will be projects, and I am sure many of them will want to have Mel Gibson in them."
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER TOOK A SHOT AT MEL GIBSON YESTERDAY:
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER took a shot at MEL GIBSON yesterday, during a speech to a group of utility commissioners.
--He said that while BP had apparently plugged the oil leak in the Gulf, quote, "no one has figured out how to contain Mel Gibson." -Then he told everyone to turn off their phones because, quote, "we are expecting a call from him." --Reached for comment, Mel's rep said he was happy to hear that Arnold is maintaining his sense of humor. He added, quote, "He's obviously paving the way for a return to showbiz."
WILL LINDSAY LOHAN GET OUT OF JAIL NEXT THURSDAY???
First it was 90 days. Then it was 23 days. Then it was 14 days. And now, it might be NINE DAYS. --Britain's not-always-reliable "Sun" tabloid claims that LINDSAY LOHAN'S sentence could be reduced to a mere nine days . . . meaning she walks free next Thursday. --A so-called "jail source" says, quote, "The sentence keeps shrinking. The new estimate is she will be released after nine days if she behaves herself. --"The latest sheriff's documents are saying 14 days but she can knock a few more off that. I expect her to be out shortly after next weekend."
LINDSAY LOHAN STILL GETS TO TAKE HER DRUGS BEHIND BARS:
LINDSAY LOHAN doesn't have to go completely cold turkey while she's in jail. She' still getting her prescription meds. Specifically, she's allowed to take Adderall . . . which is a stimulant used to treat ADHD . . . and the sleep aid Ambien. --If you've caught any of the 84,632 media interviews Lindsay's dad, MICHAEL LOHAN, has given this week, you've heard him complain about this. He wants Lindsay off ALL drugs . . . legal and otherwise.
YOU CAN SEND LINDSAY LOHAN A SNACK PACK!!!
I've got a place for your unused charity dollars. You, my friend, can buy LINDSAY LOHAN a PRISON SNACK PACK. -Seriously . . . you can help Lindsay get through her long, arduous, two-week sentence by going online and buying little gift packs full of crappy snacks like Kit Kats, Oreos, Ramen Noodles and even Hot & Spicy Pork Cracklings. (???) --Or, if you think Lindsay already shoves enough harmful garbage down her pie hole, you can get her a prepaid phone card. (--Without one, Lindsay's calls from prison have to be made COLLECT.) --FYI: Each inmate is only allowed to spend $135 a week . . . and she's already maxed out for this week. (--Yes, we checked.) --But you can try again on Sunday, when the new week begins. --You can do your ordering at the link below . . . and remember, Lindsay's inmate number is 2409752 . . .

MICHAEL LOHAN HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF ATTACKING HIS FIANCÉE:
MICHAEL LOHAN'S fiancée, KATE MAJOR, is accusing him of physically assaulting her on Monday. (--In case you've forgotten, she is also an ex-girlfriend of Jon Gosselin.) --Kate filed a complaint with police on Long Island, saying that just hours before Michael hopped a plane to Los Angeles to be there for Lindsay's incarceration, he pushed her over a chair and then kicked her in the face. --Michael claims Kate is LYING, and he never touched her. But he did admit they got into a fight. --He says they were arguing over a new reality show they're doing, called "Celebrity House". --According to Michael, Kate is jealous because he recruited two of TIGER WOODS' skanks, RACHEL UCHITEL and JOSLYN JAMES, for the show. --Michael also says that Kate has drained one of their bank accounts and he can't get her to call him back. --DISCLAIMER: Just because Michael Lohan claims he's doing a reality show and that Rachel and Joslyn are taking part, doesn't mean it's actually true. --In fact, after this story broke, Rachel denied ever having spoken to Michael Lohan about a reality show. She says she only met him once, at a party on Long Island, and he mentioned absolutely nothing about it.
TWO OTHER MASSAGE THERAPISTS CLAIM AL GORE GROPED THEM:
Police in Portland, Oregon are still investigating whether or not AL GORE sexually assaulted a massage therapist in a hotel room back in 2006 --But now, the "National Enquirer" claims that two more professional rubdown artists say Gore came after THEM, too. --The first alleged incident occurred at a Beverly Hills hotel when Gore was in town for the Oscars in 2007, and the second happened in a Tokyo hotel room in 2008. --During the Beverly Hills incident, a source says, quote, "Gore shrugged off a towel and stood naked in front of her. He pointed at his erect penis and ordered her, 'Take care of THIS.'"
SARAH PALIN IS NOT BOYCOTTING BRISTOL'S WEDDING:
As expected, SARAH PALIN is denying reports that she plans to boycott the wedding of her daughter BRISTOL to FERTILE LOVE MACHINE LEVI JOHNSTON. A family attorney says, quote, "The story has been fabricated. There is no truth to this."
IS SANDRA BULLOCK READY TO TAKE JESSE JAMES BACK???
JESSE JAMES has custody of his 6-year-old daughter Sunny and he's ready to move to Austin, Texas . . . where SANDRA BULLOCK is currently living with her adopted son Louis. --Could a reconciliation be in the works? The answer might be YES. That's according to the new issue of "Life & Style Weekly", anyway. --A so-called "insider" tells the magazine, quote, "Her heart is open to him again. Sandra will never fully get over the way Jesse betrayed her. But he did give her the family she's always wanted. And because of that, she's able to forgive him."
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE IS PREGNANT:
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE . . . who had both of her breasts removed and surgically rebuilt after she found a cancerous lump in one of them . . . is pregnant. --This will be Christina's first child. The father is MARTYN LENOBLE . . . the bass player for the rock band PORNO FOR PYROS. They're engaged. (--If you're looking for a gift for Christina, she revealed on Twitter that she's craving avocados.) (???)

CHRISTINA AGUILERA WILL NOT TONE DOWN HER SEXY IMAGE JUST BECAUSE SHE HAS A KID:
Thanks to competition from LADY GAGA, the pressure is on CHRISTINA AGUILERA like never before to act like a SLUT. But, does having a child of her own make it harder for her to do that? Heck no. --Christina says, quote, "It's like telling a painter, 'don't paint nude women now that you've become a parent.' You still have to express yourself as a human being. --"Especially, I think as a woman, we're so shamed of our sexuality . . . I have to keep in touch with myself as an artist and be able to express all sides of myself." --She adds, quote, "When you shame a subject like sexuality, that's when you raise the perverts."
AUTOPSY TOOLS USED ON ELVIS PRESLEY ARE BEING AUCTIONED OFF NEXT MONTH:
If you've always dreamed of owning something that once touched ELVIS PRESLEY'S body, now's your chance: --Autopsy tools that were used to prepare Elvis' body for the hereafter are being auctioned off in Chicago on August 12th. They're expected to sell for up to $8,000. --The items include rubber gloves, forceps, needle injectors, an arterial tube and aneurysm hooks. (--Aneurysm hooks are just surgical hooks that are used for various purposes . . . like separating tissue in order to raise a vein or artery so that it can be injected. Enjoy that McGriddle!) (???) --Also included are lip brushes, a comb, eyeliner and a "John Doe" toe tag . . . which they actually had to use temporarily because someone at the hospital had stolen Elvis' original toe tag. --The auction house says these things were only used once . . . on Elvis . . . then saved by a senior embalmer at the Memphis funeral home where the work was done --Elvis died in 1977, at the age of 42 . . . supposedly when his heart gave out due to prescription drug abuse. But Elvis' doctor, "Dr. Nick", says it was CONSTIPATION that killed The King. (--Check out a picture of some of the items here . . .)

HUGE NEWS!!! JENNIFER ANISTON HAS CHANGED THE NAME OF HER PERFUME TO . . . "JENNIFER ANISTON"!!!
Big news to report this morning. HUGE. The name of JENNIFER ANISTON'S perfume has been changed. She was originally calling it "Lolavie" . . . which means, "laughing at life", or something like that. But instead, she's now calling it . . . "Jennifer Aniston". --She says, quote, "It turned out as we were getting close to the launch, there was something out there that was very similar and it was just going to get very confusing in the marketplace. --"And at such a late hour, I didn't want to postpone the launch so the only thing we could really clear (in terms of rights to perfume titles) was my name."
THE FEDS WANT WESLEY SNIPES TO GO TO PRISON NOW:
There's been no word yet when WESLEY SNIPES will have to start serving his three-year prison sentence for tax evasion. But federal prosecutors want it to happen IMMEDIATELY. --Yesterday, they filed a motion saying, quote, "There is no good reason to delay his surrender." --Snipes was convicted and sentenced back in 2008, but he was allowed to remain free pending an appeal. That appeal was DENIED last week.
BRITTANY MURPHY'S HUSBAND DIED OF THE SAME THING THAT KILLED HER:
The autopsy report on BRITTANY MURPHY'S husband, Simon Monjack, is in . . . and he died of the same thing she did: acute pneumonia and severe anemia. Simon died six months after Brittany. --Doctors did find traces of LEGAL drugs in Simon's system . . . but certainly not enough to kill him. (--Prescription meds were listed as a contributing factor in Brittany's death.)
TIGER WOODS IS STILL THE TOP-EARNING AMERICAN ATHLETE:
One of the biggest sex scandals of all time diminished TIGER WOODS' earning power a little bit . . . but it wasn't enough to knock him off the top of the "Sports Illustrated" list of the 50 Top-Earning American Athletes. --Tiger is #1 for the SEVENTH STRAIGHT YEAR, earning $90.5 million over the past year. That's about $9 million less than last year, mainly because he lost some sponsors. --Tiger made $70 million in endorsements over the past year. But the year before, he made $92 million. (--But thanks to more golf winnings, he was able to stay within $9 million of last year's earnings.) --Tiger is followed on the list by golf rival PHIL MICKELSON and boxer FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR., who wasn't even in the Top 50 last year.
Here are the 10 Top-Earning American Athletes, along with what they raked in over the past year . . .
#1.) TIGER WOODS, $90.5 million
#2.) PHIL MICKELSON, $60.7 million
#3.) FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR., 60.3 million
#4.) LEBRON JAMES, $45.8 million
#5.) ALEX RODRIGUEZ, $37 million
#6.) SHAQUILLE O'NEAL, $36 million
#7.) KOBE BRYANT, $33 million
#8.) DEREK JETER, $31 million
#9.) PEYTON MANNING, $30.8 million
#10.) DWYANE WADE, #27.8 million

JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT IS ON THE SHORT LIST TO PLAY THE RIDDLER IN THE NEXT "BATMAN" MOVIE:
"The Dark Knight" made one of the best casting decisions ever with HEATH LEDGER playing The Joker . . . he was a younger, talented actor with credibility. It looks like the third "Batman" movie might follow that same formula. --JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT is apparently now on the short list to play The Riddler in the next "Batman" movie. --Joseph meets the same criteria as Heath did . . . he did some teen stuff toward the beginning of his career . . . then got a ton of indie cred and proved he could act . . . and now, he's becoming a big name with movies like "Inception". --The script for the movie is still being written, and there's no word who Joseph might be competing against for the role. The movie should come out sometime in 2012.
"CAPTAIN AMERICA" WON'T BE A "JINGOISTIC AMERICAN FLAG-WAVER":
The movie "Captain America: The First Avenger" comes out next summer . . . and, according to the director, Joe Johnston, the lead character is going to be a little bit different than he is in the comic books. --Quote, "He wants to serve his country, but he's not this jingoistic American flag-waver. He's just a good person." The film takes place during World War Two and Captain America will fight America's enemies, but won't be spouting pro-U.S. propaganda. --CHRIS EVANS . . . who played the Human Torch in the "Fantastic Four" movies and had a banana sticking out of his darkest area in "Not Another Teen Movie" . . . is starring as Captain America.
CHRIS ISAAK IS THE LEADING CANDIDATE TO REPLACE SIMON COWELL ON "AMERICAN IDOL" . . . BUT OTHERS ARE STILL IN THE MIX:
Replacing SIMON COWELL on "American Idol" is pretty much an impossible task . . . and, odds are, it's going to fail as badly as when they tried to replace STEVE GUTTENBERG in the "Police Academy" franchise. But they've got to try. --According to the "Hollywood Reporter", right now CHRIS ISAAK is the leading candidate to replace Simon on the "Idol" judging panel. He's had two meetings with Fox and, ya know, "Wicked Game" was a hit 21 years ago, so he's got credibility. --He's got the slight edge right now over HARRY CONNICK JR., who got great reviews as a guest mentor to the "Idol" contestants last season. --DONALD TRUMP is also in the mix for Simon's job, although his contract with NBC and COMPLETE LACK OF MUSIC KNOWLEDGE might get in the way. (--The "celebrity who has their own popular show but doesn't know anything about music" role is already being filled by ELLEN DEGENERES, anyway.) --BRET MICHAELS used to be a candidate but, apparently, he's been ruled out. --"Idol" auditions are already underway . . . the crew was in Milwaukee yesterday . . . but Fox could take until September to make a decision and have the new judge join the panel. The 10th season of "Idol" will premiere on January 12th of next year.
FORMER COWBOYS COACH JIMMY JOHNSON IS A CAST MEMBER ON THE NEXT SEASON OF "SURVIVOR":
This one definitely goes in the "weird moments in stunt casting" file. JIMMY JOHNSON . . . the guy who coached the Dallas Cowboys to back-to-back Super Bowl wins in the '90s . . . will be a contestant on the next season of "Survivor". --Johnson isn't just the most famous person ever to get cast on "Survivor", he's also one of the OLDEST . . . Johnson is 67 right now. (--RUDY BOESCH was 72 when he appeared on season one and 76 when he was on the all-stars season. --The filming started at the end of June in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua . . . but the news about Johnson is just leaking out now. --Apparently, Johnson was actually SUPPOSED to be on "Survivor" in 2008, when it took place in Gabon . . . but he failed a physical. He's lost weight since then, so he was able to pass all the medical tests to compete this season. --Johnson retired from coaching more than a decade ago and now he works as a studio analyst for Fox's "NFL Sunday" show. "Survivor" will be done filming well before football season starts, so he'll be able to go right back to that gig. --"Survivor" will air on CBS on Wednesdays starting sometime this September. (--Johnson coached the Dallas Cowboys to Super Bowl wins in 1992 and 1993. After the Cowboys, he coached the Miami Dolphins from '96 until he retired in 1999. He'd won an NCAA Championship as the coach of the University of Miami, thirty years earlier, in 1967.)
PAMELA ANDERSON AND SETH MACFARLANE WILL ROAST THE HOFF:
Comedy Central is finalizing the panel for its "Roast of David Hasselhoff", which will tape on August 1st and air on August 15th. And two new big names just signed on. --PAMELA ANDERSON . . . who, obviously, was on "Baywatch" with DAVID HASSELHOFF . . . has signed on to be a roaster. Pamela had her own Comedy Central roast back in 2005. (--For whatever reason, David did NOT roast her.) --And SETH MACFARLANE has signed on to emcee the roast. MacFarlane is the creator of "Family Guy", "American Dad" and "The Cleveland Show" . . . and we can't really find a direct connection between him and Hasselhoff. --Other roasters include George Hamilton, Hulk Hogan, Jerry Springer . . . plus Comedy Central roast regulars like Jeff Ross, Greg Giraldo and Lisa Lampanelli.
CBS IS CREATING A "VIEW" RIP-OFF TO REPLACE "AS THE WORLD TURNS":
You know what daytime TV needs? Another show that features five annoying yentas giving their semi-educated opinions about current events. -"As the World Turns" is going off the air in September after FIFTY-FOUR YEARS . . . and CBS has just found its replacement. Starting in October, CBS is going to air a show that . . . seems like a DIRECT RIP-OFF of "The View". --CBS will have a panel show that features a female panel talking and talking and talking. They've signed on Sara Gilbert of "Roseanne" fame, Julie Chen, Holly Robinson Peete, Sharon Osbourne and Leah Remini to be part of the panel.
"THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN" AND "THE BIONIC WOMAN" ARE FINALLY COMING TO DVD:
This might be more BIONIC than anyone can handle. Time Life has announced it's releasing all five seasons of "The Six Million Dollar Man" . . . AND the first season of "The Bionic Woman" . . . on DVD this November. --It's the first time that either series has been released on DVD in the U.S.
THE PENNSYLVANIA LABOR DEPARTMENT RULES THAT THE GOSSELIN KIDS ARE *NOT* BEING EXPLOITED:
Looks like Pennsylvania hasn't updated its child labor laws from the days when people used to send their four-year-olds to do 16-hour shifts at the ol' coal mine. --On Tuesday, Pennsylvania's Labor Department ruled that KATE GOSSELIN'S children are not being unlawfully exploited during the filming of "Kate Plus 8". --The big issue is that the sextuplets are all six years old . . . and Pennsylvania law isn't supposed to let kids under seven work on TV shows. --But, according to the Labor Department, the kids aren't working too many hours and they're being fairly compensated for their appearances on the show. All of the kids have been granted work permits to appear on the show. --During the filming of "Jon & Kate Plus 8", none of the eight kids had work permits. Labor officials said they SHOULD'VE had them . . . but no penalties were given to the Gosselins or to TLC.
THURSDAY TV REMINDERS: (--Check your local listings.)
--"Big Brother 12" [Eviction Night] . . . 8:00 to 9:00 P.M. on CBS.
--"So You Think You Can Dance" [Results Show] . . . 9:00 to 10:00 P.M. on Fox. (--Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull are the music guests . . . and the American Ballet Theatre shows off some dance moves.)
--"Burn Notice" . . . 9:00 to 10:00 P.M. on USA. (--Burt Reynolds guest stars as an ex-CIA operative.)
--"Supreme Court of Comedy" . . . 10:00 to 10:30 P.M. on DIRECTV. (--The "legal" team of Tom Arnold and Bobby Lee represent a man suing his ex-fiancée for spending a $900 loan on tattoos and a belly ring before judge Dom Irrera.)

10.) The "Twilight: Eclipse" soundtrack (28,000 copies)
BRIAN WILSON SAYS HE LIKES KATY PERRY'S "CALIFORNIA GURLS":
When KATY PERRY and SNOOP DOGG decided to make a song called "California Gurls", they never talked to the BEACH BOYS, who made the original "California Girls" song 45 years ago. --Fortunately, it looks like we're going avoid another brutal and potentially deadly music feud . . . because BRIAN WILSON of the Beach Boys has NO BEEF with them. --Wilson says, quote, "I love her vocal, she sounds clear and energetic. The melody is infectious and I'm flattered that Snoop Dogg [says 'I wish they all could be California girls'] on the tag. I wish them well with this cut."
THE CURRENT MEMBERS OF WARRANT WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT JANI LANE IS *NOT* PART OF THE BAND:
Yesterday, we told you that JANI LANE . . . who was the lead singer of WARRANT during their "Cherry Pie" years . . . is going to jail for 120 days after pleading no contest to a DUI. --Well . . . the current members of Warrant would like to make it clear that they have NOTHING to do with Jani. -They issued a statement saying, quote, "Please note that he is NOT the singer in Warrant. With the exception of a failed 11-show reunion in 2008 he has not been affiliated with Warrant in over seven years. --"To all of the promoters and ticket holders for our upcoming shows, please know that Robert Mason, THE lead singer of Warrant, along with [the other] original band members will not be in jail and are ready to rock and roll as scheduled. --"P.S. We do wish Lane all the best in his ongoing efforts."
JOE PERRY SAYS HIS MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT WON'T DELAY AEROSMITH'S TOUR:
Last week, we told you about JOE PERRY'S accident . . . he was riding his Ducati motorcycle in Middleboro, Massachusetts, when a driver rear-ended him and knocked him off his bike. --Joe says that he was banged up, but this won't cause any delay with AEROSMITH'S U.S. tour, which starts tomorrow in Oakland. --He also says he won't ride his motorcycle this close to tours anymore. Quote, "I had visions of playing shows in a wheelchair. I think this accident was a power higher than me saying, 'Don't ride your Ducati a week before the tour.'" --This is the THIRD time Joe has been in a motorcycle accident and the third time he's been lucky enough to walk away from it.
SCARLETT JOHANSSON IS BACK TO MAKING MUSIC . . . AND HER NEWEST SONG ISN'T TOO BAD:
SCARLETT JOHANSSON'S adventures into the music world have been . . . um . . . iffy, to say the least. Her album "Anywhere I Lay My Head" wasn't very well received and her credibility has always been pretty questionable. --But she keeps on trying, so you got to give her that. And her latest track . . . which is a cover of the STEEL TRAIN song "Bullet" . . . doesn't sound too bad. (--You can listen to it here . . .)

A LONGSHOT RUMOR ATTACHES NE-YO TO AN UNDERAGE PROSTITUTE:
This one is straight from the journalism-bending zone of PEREZ HILTON, so take it for what it's worth. He's reporting that French police have been investigating an underage prostitution ring and may have connected one of their girls to NE-YO. --There aren't any other details available right now.
NAZZY’S RANDOM STUFF
A PIZZA DELIVERY GUY SAVED THE LIFE OF A HEART-ATTACK VICTIM:
It's time to meet our Hero of the Day: 22-year-old pizza-delivery-guy Chris Wuebben. --Actually, "pizza-delivery-guy" doesn't really do Chris justice: He's a military veteran who recently returned to the States after two tours as an EMT in Iraq. --He was laid off from his last paramedic job in Illinois not long ago, and somehow he ended up in Lakewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. That's where he decided to make ends meet by delivering pizzas for Johnny's New York Pizza. --This past Friday night, he was delivering a pie to the home of George and Kami Linn. George has a history of heart problems, and actually, he'd just gotten home from the hospital two days before. --Anyway, right before Chris got to the house to deliver the pizza, George went into cardiac arrest AGAIN. In fact, Chris could hear Kami screaming when he got there: She had just dialed 911 when he rang the doorbell. --When Kami opened the door, she says she saw, quote, "some burly-looking dude." That would be Chris. So she asked him for help. --That's when Chris went to work: He dropped the pizza, performed CPR on George, revived him, and stayed with him until other paramedics arrived to take over. --Now George is in intensive care at a local hospital. But if it hadn't been for Chris . . . he'd be dead. --According to John Keiley, the owner of Johnny's New York Pizza, quote, "Chris told the woman that he was trained in CPR and knew what to do. He got him on the floor and brought him back to life before the fire department showed up. --"He's a good kid who was very nonchalant about what he did, and hopefully this will work out for him."

THE RESULTS OF THE 2010 'ASK MEN' SURVEY ON DATING:
AskMen.com does a monster poll of 100,000 men in the U.S., the UK, Canada, and Australia, and they call it 'The Great Male Survey.' Here are some of the new 2010 results when it comes to dating . . .
#1.) 31% of men said the most important trait when it comes to deciding whether a woman is relationship material is . . . a sense of loyalty. 25% said a sense of humor . . . 24% said a sense of caring or nurturing . . . and only 20% said intelligence.
#2.) On whether it was important for a girlfriend to have wife potential, 48% said somewhat, but they wouldn't break up with her if they realized she didn't. 30% said they wouldn't pursue a woman who WASN'T a potential wife. And 22% said not at all.
#3.) 67% of men believe in the institution of marriage, and they're all about it. But 18% said that while they believed in it, it wasn't for them. And 15% said they DIDN'T believe in it.
#4.) When asked how likely they'd be to cheat if there was NO chance of their girl finding out, 38% said "not at all," and that while they might be TEMPTED, it violates their morals. Another 38% said "not very likely," because they respected their partner.
--Another 17% said "somewhat likely," but that they'd feel guilty. 5% said "very likely," because, quote, "she can't be hurt if she doesn't know about it." And 2% said they ALREADY cheat on their partner. (???)
#5.) And when asked if they'd dump a girlfriend if she became, quote, "fat" . . . 46% said yes. But 54% said NO. (--That's right! Delicious candy-coated chubbies forever!) (Jezebel / Ask Men)
ARE ROMANTIC COMEDIES RUINING PEOPLE'S LOVE LIVES?
This survey was done in Australia by Warner Home Video, to coincide with the video release of that crappy movie "Valentine's Day". Anyway, we're wondering if the results of the poll would be the same here.
--Basically, people Down Under think that all those sappy romantic comedies like "Valentine's Day" are ruining their REAL love lives. About 1,000 people were polled, and here's what they found out . . .
--Almost HALF said romantic comedies have ruined their view of an ideal relationship . . .
--One in four said they were now expected to know what their partner was thinking.
--And one in five said it made their partner expect gifts and flowers, quote, "just because."
--Basically, it's because . . . SHOCKER! . . . romantic comedies always have a happy ending.
--According to a relationship counselor named Gabrielle Morrissey, quote "Our love of [romantic comedies] is turning us into a nation of 'happy-ever-after addicts' . . . Real relationships take work, and true love requires more than fireworks."

A TEENAGER TRADED HIS CELL PHONE ON CRAIGSLIST FOR A PORSCHE . . . SORT OF:
Have you ever heard of 'Craigslist swapping'? It's when you go on Craigslist to advertise something that you don't want . . . but instead of selling it, or giving it away, you trade it to someone else for something THEY have that you DO want. --Pretty simple concept. But there are some people who take it to a WHOLE new level, and somehow over time, they keep upgrading from the thing they're getting rid of, to something that's worth more. --Like 17-year-old Steven Ortiz, of Glendora, California, outside L.A. --He started out two years ago with a friend's used cell phone. Then he went on Craigslist, and started swapping. He'd spend five or six hours a day searching through Craigslist for the right kind of swaps. --And over two years and 14 trades, Steven played his cards right: At one point or another, as a result of that first phone, he's had dirt bikes, a golf cart, an iPod touch, and a MacBook Pro. --At some point, a musician on Craigslist decided that he needed the MacBook more than his 1987 Toyota 4Runner, and Ortiz ended up with his first car. He parlayed that into a 1975 Ford Bronco worth around $15,000. --That's when he made his final swap . . . by trading down in worth, actually . . . and ended up with a 2000 Porsche Boxster S worth about $9,000. And now he's in the market for an Escalade. (Yahoo Finance)
(--The REAL hero of 'Craigslist swapping' has to be Kyle MacDonald, though. He's the Canadian dude who started with just a red paperclip in 2005 . . . and ended up with a two-story farmhouse a year later.)

NAZZY’S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY
#1.) HERE ARE TEN U.S. SOLDIERS SECURING A PORTA-POTTY:
A group of U.S. soldiers made a video of themselves securing a Porta-Potty like they'd secure a house where suspected terrorists were hiding. In the video, all ten of them somehow pile into one Porta-Potty, and come back out with an insurgent.
(--Search for "how to really clear a room Porta-Potty video." They start getting into the Porta-Potty at :33.)

#2.) INDIA AND PAKISTAN ARE TONING DOWN A RIDICULOUS MILITARY DRILL DUE TO A LARGE NUMBER OF KNEE INJURIES:
There's only one main road that connects India and Pakistan, and for decades, soldiers on both sides have participated in a high-kicking, goose-stepping, choreographed routine every evening in front of thousands of people. --It's basically like a changing of the guards, except WAY more ridiculous. But now the two countries have decided to tone down the routines due to a large number of KNEE INJURIES, which isn't surprising when you see what these guys do. (--Search for "flag ceremony India Pakistan border kicks up dust." Here's a clip from a report about the choreographed routine AND the famous "Monty Python" skit about the "Ministry of Silly Walks.")

THE FIVE BEST FOODS TO STOCKPILE FOR AN EMERGENCY:
It's hurricane season, so "Real Simple" magazine made a list of the five best foods to stockpile for an emergency.
--But even if you don't live near the coast, this is stuff you could stockpile for ANY emergency, because all the things on the list have a long shelf life.
#1.) PEANUT BUTTER. It's a good source of energy, and it's full of healthy fat and protein. And unless the jar says so, you don't have to refrigerate it.
#2.) GRANOLA BARS AND POWER BARS. You can usually store them for six months to a year, and they're a great source of carbs. --Carbs get a bad rap because you gain weight if you eat too many. But if you're in the middle of a disaster, that's not what you'll be worried about.
#3.) DRIED FRUIT. You want raisins and prunes, because they have a lot of potassium and dietary fiber. And obviously they'll last a lot longer than grapes or plums, especially if they're vacuum-packed.
#4.) CANNED MEAT. According to their labels, cans of tuna, chicken, and SPAM will last about two years if they're not opened. But they'll actually last about FIFTY. --In 2006, a guy in England named Les Lailey celebrated his 50th anniversary by eating canned chicken that he and his wife got as a wedding gift in 1956. He didn't die, and afterward, he said, quote, "It was alright, but I don't like chicken." --That said, you should check the expiration dates at least once a year. And if anything in your emergency kit is about to go bad, just use it and replace it.
#5.) BOTTLED WATER. It's by far the most important thing to have in an emergency, because the average person needs a half-gallon of water a DAY. --And according to FEMA, you need a two-week supply for each person in your house. So that means for a family of four, you're supposed to store 28 gallons of water . . . which is a lot if you're in a small apartment with nowhere to store it. --But it's important, because if you've got even a LITTLE bit of fat on your body, you can actually go WEEKS without food. But you can only survive a few DAYS without water. (Real Simple)

2002 Intrepid Barefoot Bandit Boat
Item number: 290454440408
Bidding: Ended
With no bids, the starting bid: $80,000 – Buy It Now Price: $110,000
Item Location: Miami, FL
Bidding has ended for the boat stolen by the “Barefoot Bandit” shot up by Bahamian police during his final unsuccessful escape attempt. Owner William Sport said he expected to lose from $30,000 to $50,000 even if he had managed to get $80,000 for the vessel, which was uninsured. He said he just wanted to get rid of it because it gave the former pilot for Eastern Airlines “a bad taste.” Colton Harris-Moore, known as the “Barefoot Bandit” for allegedly not wearing shoes while committing crimes, was caught July 11th after a brief boat chase by Bahamian police, who peppered the Intrepid with shotgun fire before catching up with the 19-year-old after the boat got stuck in the sand. Sport says he’s hired a lawyer to sue Harris-Moore in the event he profits from a book or movie deal.

Think Before You Ink
While Angelina Jolie may boast yet another tattoo, a new survey by Ask Jeeves shows 47% of men find tattoos on women to be a turn off. The same survey also reveals as many as 38% of women feel the same way about men with tattoos. The FDA estimates that 45 million Americans have at least one tattoo and an estimated 50% of individuals with tattoos eventually grow dissatisfied and want them removed.
OKSANA GRIGORIEVA IS NOW BEING INVESTIGATED FOR EXTORTION:
MEL GIBSON and OKSANA GRIGORIEVA are certainly keeping the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department busy. --In addition to investigating Mel for domestic abuse, they're now investigating Oksana for EXTORTION. --Mel claims that Oksana tried to squeeze him for $10 million, using all the audio she secretly recorded of him and the pictures of the injuries he supposedly caused to her and their daughter. --That was before all that stuff started leaking online, obviously. For the record, Oksana continues to deny she had anything to do with any of it going public.
DID MEL THROW OKSANA'S SON ONTO A TABLE???
There's a new story going around that MEL GIBSON was physically abusive to OKSANA GRIGORIEVA'S 12-year-old son Alexander. --Supposedly, they were all at a party in Costa Rica last year, and Alexander was, quote, "playfully jumping up and down, trying to knock a cigarette out of Mel's mouth." --Well, Mel got bored with the kid's antics . . . and then he got pissed. A source says he, quote, "exploded by grabbing the boy and throwing him violently onto a table." --There were several witnesses, but it's not clear what they'll say to investigators. Sources close to Mel claim it was all harmless clowning around, and Alexander accidentally fell while reaching for the cigarette.
OLIVER STONE SAYS MEL GIBSON'S CAREER WILL BE FINE:
OLIVER STONE has said some really smart things in his day . . . and some really stupid things. History will have to decide where this one falls . . . --Oliver doesn't think anything that's happening right now will hurt MEL GIBSON'S career in the least. --He says, quote, "Everyone is supposed to have an opinion, but most directors don't work that way. Projects are developed slowly, and over the course of weeks, months, there will be projects, and I am sure many of them will want to have Mel Gibson in them."
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER TOOK A SHOT AT MEL GIBSON YESTERDAY:
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER took a shot at MEL GIBSON yesterday, during a speech to a group of utility commissioners.
--He said that while BP had apparently plugged the oil leak in the Gulf, quote, "no one has figured out how to contain Mel Gibson." -Then he told everyone to turn off their phones because, quote, "we are expecting a call from him." --Reached for comment, Mel's rep said he was happy to hear that Arnold is maintaining his sense of humor. He added, quote, "He's obviously paving the way for a return to showbiz."
WILL LINDSAY LOHAN GET OUT OF JAIL NEXT THURSDAY???
First it was 90 days. Then it was 23 days. Then it was 14 days. And now, it might be NINE DAYS. --Britain's not-always-reliable "Sun" tabloid claims that LINDSAY LOHAN'S sentence could be reduced to a mere nine days . . . meaning she walks free next Thursday. --A so-called "jail source" says, quote, "The sentence keeps shrinking. The new estimate is she will be released after nine days if she behaves herself. --"The latest sheriff's documents are saying 14 days but she can knock a few more off that. I expect her to be out shortly after next weekend."
LINDSAY LOHAN STILL GETS TO TAKE HER DRUGS BEHIND BARS:
LINDSAY LOHAN doesn't have to go completely cold turkey while she's in jail. She' still getting her prescription meds. Specifically, she's allowed to take Adderall . . . which is a stimulant used to treat ADHD . . . and the sleep aid Ambien. --If you've caught any of the 84,632 media interviews Lindsay's dad, MICHAEL LOHAN, has given this week, you've heard him complain about this. He wants Lindsay off ALL drugs . . . legal and otherwise.
YOU CAN SEND LINDSAY LOHAN A SNACK PACK!!!
I've got a place for your unused charity dollars. You, my friend, can buy LINDSAY LOHAN a PRISON SNACK PACK. -Seriously . . . you can help Lindsay get through her long, arduous, two-week sentence by going online and buying little gift packs full of crappy snacks like Kit Kats, Oreos, Ramen Noodles and even Hot & Spicy Pork Cracklings. (???) --Or, if you think Lindsay already shoves enough harmful garbage down her pie hole, you can get her a prepaid phone card. (--Without one, Lindsay's calls from prison have to be made COLLECT.) --FYI: Each inmate is only allowed to spend $135 a week . . . and she's already maxed out for this week. (--Yes, we checked.) --But you can try again on Sunday, when the new week begins. --You can do your ordering at the link below . . . and remember, Lindsay's inmate number is 2409752 . . .

MICHAEL LOHAN HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF ATTACKING HIS FIANCÉE:
MICHAEL LOHAN'S fiancée, KATE MAJOR, is accusing him of physically assaulting her on Monday. (--In case you've forgotten, she is also an ex-girlfriend of Jon Gosselin.) --Kate filed a complaint with police on Long Island, saying that just hours before Michael hopped a plane to Los Angeles to be there for Lindsay's incarceration, he pushed her over a chair and then kicked her in the face. --Michael claims Kate is LYING, and he never touched her. But he did admit they got into a fight. --He says they were arguing over a new reality show they're doing, called "Celebrity House". --According to Michael, Kate is jealous because he recruited two of TIGER WOODS' skanks, RACHEL UCHITEL and JOSLYN JAMES, for the show. --Michael also says that Kate has drained one of their bank accounts and he can't get her to call him back. --DISCLAIMER: Just because Michael Lohan claims he's doing a reality show and that Rachel and Joslyn are taking part, doesn't mean it's actually true. --In fact, after this story broke, Rachel denied ever having spoken to Michael Lohan about a reality show. She says she only met him once, at a party on Long Island, and he mentioned absolutely nothing about it.
TWO OTHER MASSAGE THERAPISTS CLAIM AL GORE GROPED THEM:
Police in Portland, Oregon are still investigating whether or not AL GORE sexually assaulted a massage therapist in a hotel room back in 2006 --But now, the "National Enquirer" claims that two more professional rubdown artists say Gore came after THEM, too. --The first alleged incident occurred at a Beverly Hills hotel when Gore was in town for the Oscars in 2007, and the second happened in a Tokyo hotel room in 2008. --During the Beverly Hills incident, a source says, quote, "Gore shrugged off a towel and stood naked in front of her. He pointed at his erect penis and ordered her, 'Take care of THIS.'"
SARAH PALIN IS NOT BOYCOTTING BRISTOL'S WEDDING:
As expected, SARAH PALIN is denying reports that she plans to boycott the wedding of her daughter BRISTOL to FERTILE LOVE MACHINE LEVI JOHNSTON. A family attorney says, quote, "The story has been fabricated. There is no truth to this."
IS SANDRA BULLOCK READY TO TAKE JESSE JAMES BACK???
JESSE JAMES has custody of his 6-year-old daughter Sunny and he's ready to move to Austin, Texas . . . where SANDRA BULLOCK is currently living with her adopted son Louis. --Could a reconciliation be in the works? The answer might be YES. That's according to the new issue of "Life & Style Weekly", anyway. --A so-called "insider" tells the magazine, quote, "Her heart is open to him again. Sandra will never fully get over the way Jesse betrayed her. But he did give her the family she's always wanted. And because of that, she's able to forgive him."
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE IS PREGNANT:
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE . . . who had both of her breasts removed and surgically rebuilt after she found a cancerous lump in one of them . . . is pregnant. --This will be Christina's first child. The father is MARTYN LENOBLE . . . the bass player for the rock band PORNO FOR PYROS. They're engaged. (--If you're looking for a gift for Christina, she revealed on Twitter that she's craving avocados.) (???)

CHRISTINA AGUILERA WILL NOT TONE DOWN HER SEXY IMAGE JUST BECAUSE SHE HAS A KID:
Thanks to competition from LADY GAGA, the pressure is on CHRISTINA AGUILERA like never before to act like a SLUT. But, does having a child of her own make it harder for her to do that? Heck no. --Christina says, quote, "It's like telling a painter, 'don't paint nude women now that you've become a parent.' You still have to express yourself as a human being. --"Especially, I think as a woman, we're so shamed of our sexuality . . . I have to keep in touch with myself as an artist and be able to express all sides of myself." --She adds, quote, "When you shame a subject like sexuality, that's when you raise the perverts."
AUTOPSY TOOLS USED ON ELVIS PRESLEY ARE BEING AUCTIONED OFF NEXT MONTH:
If you've always dreamed of owning something that once touched ELVIS PRESLEY'S body, now's your chance: --Autopsy tools that were used to prepare Elvis' body for the hereafter are being auctioned off in Chicago on August 12th. They're expected to sell for up to $8,000. --The items include rubber gloves, forceps, needle injectors, an arterial tube and aneurysm hooks. (--Aneurysm hooks are just surgical hooks that are used for various purposes . . . like separating tissue in order to raise a vein or artery so that it can be injected. Enjoy that McGriddle!) (???) --Also included are lip brushes, a comb, eyeliner and a "John Doe" toe tag . . . which they actually had to use temporarily because someone at the hospital had stolen Elvis' original toe tag. --The auction house says these things were only used once . . . on Elvis . . . then saved by a senior embalmer at the Memphis funeral home where the work was done --Elvis died in 1977, at the age of 42 . . . supposedly when his heart gave out due to prescription drug abuse. But Elvis' doctor, "Dr. Nick", says it was CONSTIPATION that killed The King. (--Check out a picture of some of the items here . . .)

HUGE NEWS!!! JENNIFER ANISTON HAS CHANGED THE NAME OF HER PERFUME TO . . . "JENNIFER ANISTON"!!!
Big news to report this morning. HUGE. The name of JENNIFER ANISTON'S perfume has been changed. She was originally calling it "Lolavie" . . . which means, "laughing at life", or something like that. But instead, she's now calling it . . . "Jennifer Aniston". --She says, quote, "It turned out as we were getting close to the launch, there was something out there that was very similar and it was just going to get very confusing in the marketplace. --"And at such a late hour, I didn't want to postpone the launch so the only thing we could really clear (in terms of rights to perfume titles) was my name."
THE FEDS WANT WESLEY SNIPES TO GO TO PRISON NOW:
There's been no word yet when WESLEY SNIPES will have to start serving his three-year prison sentence for tax evasion. But federal prosecutors want it to happen IMMEDIATELY. --Yesterday, they filed a motion saying, quote, "There is no good reason to delay his surrender." --Snipes was convicted and sentenced back in 2008, but he was allowed to remain free pending an appeal. That appeal was DENIED last week.
BRITTANY MURPHY'S HUSBAND DIED OF THE SAME THING THAT KILLED HER:
The autopsy report on BRITTANY MURPHY'S husband, Simon Monjack, is in . . . and he died of the same thing she did: acute pneumonia and severe anemia. Simon died six months after Brittany. --Doctors did find traces of LEGAL drugs in Simon's system . . . but certainly not enough to kill him. (--Prescription meds were listed as a contributing factor in Brittany's death.)
TIGER WOODS IS STILL THE TOP-EARNING AMERICAN ATHLETE:
One of the biggest sex scandals of all time diminished TIGER WOODS' earning power a little bit . . . but it wasn't enough to knock him off the top of the "Sports Illustrated" list of the 50 Top-Earning American Athletes. --Tiger is #1 for the SEVENTH STRAIGHT YEAR, earning $90.5 million over the past year. That's about $9 million less than last year, mainly because he lost some sponsors. --Tiger made $70 million in endorsements over the past year. But the year before, he made $92 million. (--But thanks to more golf winnings, he was able to stay within $9 million of last year's earnings.) --Tiger is followed on the list by golf rival PHIL MICKELSON and boxer FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR., who wasn't even in the Top 50 last year.
Here are the 10 Top-Earning American Athletes, along with what they raked in over the past year . . .
#1.) TIGER WOODS, $90.5 million
#2.) PHIL MICKELSON, $60.7 million

JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT IS ON THE SHORT LIST TO PLAY THE RIDDLER IN THE NEXT "BATMAN" MOVIE:
"The Dark Knight" made one of the best casting decisions ever with HEATH LEDGER playing The Joker . . . he was a younger, talented actor with credibility. It looks like the third "Batman" movie might follow that same formula. --JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT is apparently now on the short list to play The Riddler in the next "Batman" movie. --Joseph meets the same criteria as Heath did . . . he did some teen stuff toward the beginning of his career . . . then got a ton of indie cred and proved he could act . . . and now, he's becoming a big name with movies like "Inception". --The script for the movie is still being written, and there's no word who Joseph might be competing against for the role. The movie should come out sometime in 2012.
"CAPTAIN AMERICA" WON'T BE A "JINGOISTIC AMERICAN FLAG-WAVER":
The movie "Captain America: The First Avenger" comes out next summer . . . and, according to the director, Joe Johnston, the lead character is going to be a little bit different than he is in the comic books. --Quote, "He wants to serve his country, but he's not this jingoistic American flag-waver. He's just a good person." The film takes place during World War Two and Captain America will fight America's enemies, but won't be spouting pro-U.S. propaganda. --CHRIS EVANS . . . who played the Human Torch in the "Fantastic Four" movies and had a banana sticking out of his darkest area in "Not Another Teen Movie" . . . is starring as Captain America.
CHRIS ISAAK IS THE LEADING CANDIDATE TO REPLACE SIMON COWELL ON "AMERICAN IDOL" . . . BUT OTHERS ARE STILL IN THE MIX:
Replacing SIMON COWELL on "American Idol" is pretty much an impossible task . . . and, odds are, it's going to fail as badly as when they tried to replace STEVE GUTTENBERG in the "Police Academy" franchise. But they've got to try. --According to the "Hollywood Reporter", right now CHRIS ISAAK is the leading candidate to replace Simon on the "Idol" judging panel. He's had two meetings with Fox and, ya know, "Wicked Game" was a hit 21 years ago, so he's got credibility. --He's got the slight edge right now over HARRY CONNICK JR., who got great reviews as a guest mentor to the "Idol" contestants last season. --DONALD TRUMP is also in the mix for Simon's job, although his contract with NBC and COMPLETE LACK OF MUSIC KNOWLEDGE might get in the way. (--The "celebrity who has their own popular show but doesn't know anything about music" role is already being filled by ELLEN DEGENERES, anyway.) --BRET MICHAELS used to be a candidate but, apparently, he's been ruled out. --"Idol" auditions are already underway . . . the crew was in Milwaukee yesterday . . . but Fox could take until September to make a decision and have the new judge join the panel. The 10th season of "Idol" will premiere on January 12th of next year.
FORMER COWBOYS COACH JIMMY JOHNSON IS A CAST MEMBER ON THE NEXT SEASON OF "SURVIVOR":
This one definitely goes in the "weird moments in stunt casting" file. JIMMY JOHNSON . . . the guy who coached the Dallas Cowboys to back-to-back Super Bowl wins in the '90s . . . will be a contestant on the next season of "Survivor". --Johnson isn't just the most famous person ever to get cast on "Survivor", he's also one of the OLDEST . . . Johnson is 67 right now. (--RUDY BOESCH was 72 when he appeared on season one and 76 when he was on the all-stars season. --The filming started at the end of June in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua . . . but the news about Johnson is just leaking out now. --Apparently, Johnson was actually SUPPOSED to be on "Survivor" in 2008, when it took place in Gabon . . . but he failed a physical. He's lost weight since then, so he was able to pass all the medical tests to compete this season. --Johnson retired from coaching more than a decade ago and now he works as a studio analyst for Fox's "NFL Sunday" show. "Survivor" will be done filming well before football season starts, so he'll be able to go right back to that gig. --"Survivor" will air on CBS on Wednesdays starting sometime this September. (--Johnson coached the Dallas Cowboys to Super Bowl wins in 1992 and 1993. After the Cowboys, he coached the Miami Dolphins from '96 until he retired in 1999. He'd won an NCAA Championship as the coach of the University of Miami, thirty years earlier, in 1967.)
PAMELA ANDERSON AND SETH MACFARLANE WILL ROAST THE HOFF:
Comedy Central is finalizing the panel for its "Roast of David Hasselhoff", which will tape on August 1st and air on August 15th. And two new big names just signed on. --PAMELA ANDERSON . . . who, obviously, was on "Baywatch" with DAVID HASSELHOFF . . . has signed on to be a roaster. Pamela had her own Comedy Central roast back in 2005. (--For whatever reason, David did NOT roast her.) --And SETH MACFARLANE has signed on to emcee the roast. MacFarlane is the creator of "Family Guy", "American Dad" and "The Cleveland Show" . . . and we can't really find a direct connection between him and Hasselhoff. --Other roasters include George Hamilton, Hulk Hogan, Jerry Springer . . . plus Comedy Central roast regulars like Jeff Ross, Greg Giraldo and Lisa Lampanelli.
CBS IS CREATING A "VIEW" RIP-OFF TO REPLACE "AS THE WORLD TURNS":
You know what daytime TV needs? Another show that features five annoying yentas giving their semi-educated opinions about current events. -"As the World Turns" is going off the air in September after FIFTY-FOUR YEARS . . . and CBS has just found its replacement. Starting in October, CBS is going to air a show that . . . seems like a DIRECT RIP-OFF of "The View". --CBS will have a panel show that features a female panel talking and talking and talking. They've signed on Sara Gilbert of "Roseanne" fame, Julie Chen, Holly Robinson Peete, Sharon Osbourne and Leah Remini to be part of the panel.
"THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN" AND "THE BIONIC WOMAN" ARE FINALLY COMING TO DVD:
This might be more BIONIC than anyone can handle. Time Life has announced it's releasing all five seasons of "The Six Million Dollar Man" . . . AND the first season of "The Bionic Woman" . . . on DVD this November. --It's the first time that either series has been released on DVD in the U.S.
THE PENNSYLVANIA LABOR DEPARTMENT RULES THAT THE GOSSELIN KIDS ARE *NOT* BEING EXPLOITED:
Looks like Pennsylvania hasn't updated its child labor laws from the days when people used to send their four-year-olds to do 16-hour shifts at the ol' coal mine. --On Tuesday, Pennsylvania's Labor Department ruled that KATE GOSSELIN'S children are not being unlawfully exploited during the filming of "Kate Plus 8". --The big issue is that the sextuplets are all six years old . . . and Pennsylvania law isn't supposed to let kids under seven work on TV shows. --But, according to the Labor Department, the kids aren't working too many hours and they're being fairly compensated for their appearances on the show. All of the kids have been granted work permits to appear on the show. --During the filming of "Jon & Kate Plus 8", none of the eight kids had work permits. Labor officials said they SHOULD'VE had them . . . but no penalties were given to the Gosselins or to TLC.

BRIAN WILSON SAYS HE LIKES KATY PERRY'S "CALIFORNIA GURLS":
When KATY PERRY and SNOOP DOGG decided to make a song called "California Gurls", they never talked to the BEACH BOYS, who made the original "California Girls" song 45 years ago. --Fortunately, it looks like we're going avoid another brutal and potentially deadly music feud . . . because BRIAN WILSON of the Beach Boys has NO BEEF with them. --Wilson says, quote, "I love her vocal, she sounds clear and energetic. The melody is infectious and I'm flattered that Snoop Dogg [says 'I wish they all could be California girls'] on the tag. I wish them well with this cut."
THE CURRENT MEMBERS OF WARRANT WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT JANI LANE IS *NOT* PART OF THE BAND:
Yesterday, we told you that JANI LANE . . . who was the lead singer of WARRANT during their "Cherry Pie" years . . . is going to jail for 120 days after pleading no contest to a DUI. --Well . . . the current members of Warrant would like to make it clear that they have NOTHING to do with Jani. -They issued a statement saying, quote, "Please note that he is NOT the singer in Warrant. With the exception of a failed 11-show reunion in 2008 he has not been affiliated with Warrant in over seven years. --"To all of the promoters and ticket holders for our upcoming shows, please know that Robert Mason, THE lead singer of Warrant, along with [the other] original band members will not be in jail and are ready to rock and roll as scheduled. --"P.S. We do wish Lane all the best in his ongoing efforts."
JOE PERRY SAYS HIS MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT WON'T DELAY AEROSMITH'S TOUR:

Quote, "I had visions of playing shows in a wheelchair. I think this accident was a power higher than me saying, 'Don't ride your Ducati a week before the tour.'" --This is the THIRD time Joe has been in a motorcycle accident and the third time he's been lucky enough to walk away from it.
SCARLETT JOHANSSON IS BACK TO MAKING MUSIC . . . AND HER NEWEST SONG ISN'T TOO BAD:
SCARLETT JOHANSSON'S adventures into the music world have been . . . um . . . iffy, to say the least. Her album "Anywhere I Lay My Head" wasn't very well received and her credibility has always been pretty questionable. --But she keeps on trying, so you got to give her that. And her latest track . . . which is a cover of the STEEL TRAIN song "Bullet" . . . doesn't sound too bad. (--You can listen to it here . . .)

NAZZY’S RANDOM STUFF
A PIZZA DELIVERY GUY SAVED THE LIFE OF A HEART-ATTACK VICTIM:
It's time to meet our Hero of the Day: 22-year-old pizza-delivery-guy Chris Wuebben. --Actually, "pizza-delivery-guy" doesn't really do Chris justice: He's a military veteran who recently returned to the States after two tours as an EMT in Iraq. --He was laid off from his last paramedic job in Illinois not long ago, and somehow he ended up in Lakewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. That's where he decided to make ends meet by delivering pizzas for Johnny's New York Pizza. --This past Friday night, he was delivering a pie to the home of George and Kami Linn. George has a history of heart problems, and actually, he'd just gotten home from the hospital two days before. --Anyway, right before Chris got to the house to deliver the pizza, George went into cardiac arrest AGAIN. In fact, Chris could hear Kami screaming when he got there: She had just dialed 911 when he rang the doorbell. --When Kami opened the door, she says she saw, quote, "some burly-looking dude." That would be Chris. So she asked him for help. --That's when Chris went to work: He dropped the pizza, performed CPR on George, revived him, and stayed with him until other paramedics arrived to take over. --Now George is in intensive care at a local hospital. But if it hadn't been for Chris . . . he'd be dead. --According to John Keiley, the owner of Johnny's New York Pizza, quote, "Chris told the woman that he was trained in CPR and knew what to do. He got him on the floor and brought him back to life before the fire department showed up. --"He's a good kid who was very nonchalant about what he did, and hopefully this will work out for him."

THE RESULTS OF THE 2010 'ASK MEN' SURVEY ON DATING:
AskMen.com does a monster poll of 100,000 men in the U.S., the UK, Canada, and Australia, and they call it 'The Great Male Survey.' Here are some of the new 2010 results when it comes to dating . . .
#1.) 31% of men said the most important trait when it comes to deciding whether a woman is relationship material is . . . a sense of loyalty. 25% said a sense of humor . . . 24% said a sense of caring or nurturing . . . and only 20% said intelligence.
#2.) On whether it was important for a girlfriend to have wife potential, 48% said somewhat, but they wouldn't break up with her if they realized she didn't. 30% said they wouldn't pursue a woman who WASN'T a potential wife. And 22% said not at all.
#3.) 67% of men believe in the institution of marriage, and they're all about it. But 18% said that while they believed in it, it wasn't for them. And 15% said they DIDN'T believe in it.
#4.) When asked how likely they'd be to cheat if there was NO chance of their girl finding out, 38% said "not at all," and that while they might be TEMPTED, it violates their morals. Another 38% said "not very likely," because they respected their partner.
--Another 17% said "somewhat likely," but that they'd feel guilty. 5% said "very likely," because, quote, "she can't be hurt if she doesn't know about it." And 2% said they ALREADY cheat on their partner. (???)
#5.) And when asked if they'd dump a girlfriend if she became, quote, "fat" . . . 46% said yes. But 54% said NO. (--That's right! Delicious candy-coated chubbies forever!) (Jezebel / Ask Men)
ARE ROMANTIC COMEDIES RUINING PEOPLE'S LOVE LIVES?
This survey was done in Australia by Warner Home Video, to coincide with the video release of that crappy movie "Valentine's Day". Anyway, we're wondering if the results of the poll would be the same here.
--Basically, people Down Under think that all those sappy romantic comedies like "Valentine's Day" are ruining their REAL love lives. About 1,000 people were polled, and here's what they found out . . .
--Almost HALF said romantic comedies have ruined their view of an ideal relationship . . .
--One in four said they were now expected to know what their partner was thinking.
--And one in five said it made their partner expect gifts and flowers, quote, "just because."
--Basically, it's because . . . SHOCKER! . . . romantic comedies always have a happy ending.
--According to a relationship counselor named Gabrielle Morrissey, quote "Our love of [romantic comedies] is turning us into a nation of 'happy-ever-after addicts' . . . Real relationships take work, and true love requires more than fireworks."

A TEENAGER TRADED HIS CELL PHONE ON CRAIGSLIST FOR A PORSCHE . . . SORT OF:
Have you ever heard of 'Craigslist swapping'? It's when you go on Craigslist to advertise something that you don't want . . . but instead of selling it, or giving it away, you trade it to someone else for something THEY have that you DO want. --Pretty simple concept. But there are some people who take it to a WHOLE new level, and somehow over time, they keep upgrading from the thing they're getting rid of, to something that's worth more. --Like 17-year-old Steven Ortiz, of Glendora, California, outside L.A. --He started out two years ago with a friend's used cell phone. Then he went on Craigslist, and started swapping. He'd spend five or six hours a day searching through Craigslist for the right kind of swaps. --And over two years and 14 trades, Steven played his cards right: At one point or another, as a result of that first phone, he's had dirt bikes, a golf cart, an iPod touch, and a MacBook Pro. --At some point, a musician on Craigslist decided that he needed the MacBook more than his 1987 Toyota 4Runner, and Ortiz ended up with his first car. He parlayed that into a 1975 Ford Bronco worth around $15,000. --That's when he made his final swap . . . by trading down in worth, actually . . . and ended up with a 2000 Porsche Boxster S worth about $9,000. And now he's in the market for an Escalade. (Yahoo Finance)
(--The REAL hero of 'Craigslist swapping' has to be Kyle MacDonald, though. He's the Canadian dude who started with just a red paperclip in 2005 . . . and ended up with a two-story farmhouse a year later.)
(--Check out how he did it here . . .)

NAZZY’S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY
#1.) HERE ARE TEN U.S. SOLDIERS SECURING A PORTA-POTTY:
A group of U.S. soldiers made a video of themselves securing a Porta-Potty like they'd secure a house where suspected terrorists were hiding. In the video, all ten of them somehow pile into one Porta-Potty, and come back out with an insurgent.
(--Search for "how to really clear a room Porta-Potty video." They start getting into the Porta-Potty at :33.)

#2.) INDIA AND PAKISTAN ARE TONING DOWN A RIDICULOUS MILITARY DRILL DUE TO A LARGE NUMBER OF KNEE INJURIES:
There's only one main road that connects India and Pakistan, and for decades, soldiers on both sides have participated in a high-kicking, goose-stepping, choreographed routine every evening in front of thousands of people. --It's basically like a changing of the guards, except WAY more ridiculous. But now the two countries have decided to tone down the routines due to a large number of KNEE INJURIES, which isn't surprising when you see what these guys do. (--Search for "flag ceremony India Pakistan border kicks up dust." Here's a clip from a report about the choreographed routine AND the famous "Monty Python" skit about the "Ministry of Silly Walks.")

THE FIVE BEST FOODS TO STOCKPILE FOR AN EMERGENCY:
It's hurricane season, so "Real Simple" magazine made a list of the five best foods to stockpile for an emergency.
--But even if you don't live near the coast, this is stuff you could stockpile for ANY emergency, because all the things on the list have a long shelf life.
#1.) PEANUT BUTTER. It's a good source of energy, and it's full of healthy fat and protein. And unless the jar says so, you don't have to refrigerate it.
#2.) GRANOLA BARS AND POWER BARS. You can usually store them for six months to a year, and they're a great source of carbs. --Carbs get a bad rap because you gain weight if you eat too many. But if you're in the middle of a disaster, that's not what you'll be worried about.
#3.) DRIED FRUIT. You want raisins and prunes, because they have a lot of potassium and dietary fiber. And obviously they'll last a lot longer than grapes or plums, especially if they're vacuum-packed.
#4.) CANNED MEAT. According to their labels, cans of tuna, chicken, and SPAM will last about two years if they're not opened. But they'll actually last about FIFTY. --In 2006, a guy in England named Les Lailey celebrated his 50th anniversary by eating canned chicken that he and his wife got as a wedding gift in 1956. He didn't die, and afterward, he said, quote, "It was alright, but I don't like chicken." --That said, you should check the expiration dates at least once a year. And if anything in your emergency kit is about to go bad, just use it and replace it.
#5.) BOTTLED WATER. It's by far the most important thing to have in an emergency, because the average person needs a half-gallon of water a DAY. --And according to FEMA, you need a two-week supply for each person in your house. So that means for a family of four, you're supposed to store 28 gallons of water . . . which is a lot if you're in a small apartment with nowhere to store it. --But it's important, because if you've got even a LITTLE bit of fat on your body, you can actually go WEEKS without food. But you can only survive a few DAYS without water. (Real Simple)

Playboy Enterprises has launched a website that it swears will be safe to browse while at work. TheSmokingJacket.com contains none of the nudity that makes Playboy.com NSFW. Instead, it relies on humor to reach Playboy’s target audience when they are most likely to be in front of a computer screen. The site will be updated continually in the hopes to get men returning throughout the work day.
NO WAY! ON eBAY?!
2002 Intrepid Barefoot Bandit Boat
Item number: 290454440408
Bidding: Ended
With no bids, the starting bid: $80,000 – Buy It Now Price: $110,000
Item Location: Miami, FL
Bidding has ended for the boat stolen by the “Barefoot Bandit” shot up by Bahamian police during his final unsuccessful escape attempt. Owner William Sport said he expected to lose from $30,000 to $50,000 even if he had managed to get $80,000 for the vessel, which was uninsured. He said he just wanted to get rid of it because it gave the former pilot for Eastern Airlines “a bad taste.” Colton Harris-Moore, known as the “Barefoot Bandit” for allegedly not wearing shoes while committing crimes, was caught July 11th after a brief boat chase by Bahamian police, who peppered the Intrepid with shotgun fire before catching up with the 19-year-old after the boat got stuck in the sand. Sport says he’s hired a lawyer to sue Harris-Moore in the event he profits from a book or movie deal.

Think Before You Ink
While Angelina Jolie may boast yet another tattoo, a new survey by Ask Jeeves shows 47% of men find tattoos on women to be a turn off. The same survey also reveals as many as 38% of women feel the same way about men with tattoos. The FDA estimates that 45 million Americans have at least one tattoo and an estimated 50% of individuals with tattoos eventually grow dissatisfied and want them removed.
