HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW (09-02-10)
IS ASHTON KUTCHER CHEATING ON DEMI MOORE? THE "STAR" SAYS SO:
This comes to us from the rarely-reliable "Star" tabloid . . . so it's probably a long shot, but . . . --A so-called "witness" says he walked in on ASHTON KUTCHER making out with a hot, young blonde in the bathroom of an Italian restaurant called Madeo recently. --He says, quote, "Ashton had this gorgeous girl pinned against the wall, and he was totally making out with her. I was shocked to see him sucking face with a girl who obviously wasn't Demi." --A friend of Demi's says this is pretty much her worst fear come true . . . quote, "All along, Demi was told it would never work, that he's going to cheat. When she finds out that it happened, she'll be devastated." --Ashton hit back on Twitter yesterday, saying, quote, "I think 'Star' magazine calling me a 'cheater' qualifies as defamation of character. I hope my lawyer agrees." --He added, quote, "'STAR' magazine . . . you don't get to stand behind 'freedom of the press' when you are writing fiction." --And Demi added, quote, "Excellent point my love!"
JODIE SWEETIN HAD HER BABY:
JODIE SWEETIN . . . who played Stephanie Tanner on "Full House" back in the day . . . gave birth to a baby girl Tuesday. This is the first child for Jodie and her boyfriend, Morty Coyle. They named her Beatrix Carlin Sweetin Coyle. --Jodie also has a 2-year-old daughter named Zoie, with her ex-husband . . . the unfortunately-named Cody Herpin. (--Jodie is 28.)
CELINE DION AND HER UNBORN BABIES ARE FINE:
There's a report going around that CELINE DION had to have emergency surgery because of some kind of problem with her pregnancy. It's NOT TRUE. --Celine's rep says, quote, "She's happy and healthy and never had a procedure." --Celine is about six months pregnant with twin boys. She and husband Rene Angelil already have a 9-year-old son.
ARE CHARLIZE THERON & SEAN PENN DATING???
"In Touch Weekly" seems to think there's something going on between SEAN PENN and CHARLIZE THERON. (--He's 50, she's 35.) --Sean has supposedly been "helping" Charlize through her split with longtime boyfriend STUART TOWNSEND . . . but things have escalated beyond the "helping" stage. --A so-called "source" says, quote, "Sean thinks she's beautiful, and she thinks he's brilliant."
JERRY LEWIS WANTS TO PUNCH LINDSAY LOHAN IN THE MOUTH:
JERRY LEWIS is a bona fide Hollywood legend. So perhaps it's time to turn to him for advice on how to handle LINDSAY LOHAN, PARIS HILTON and the rest of their kind. --Jerry . . . who's 84 years old . . . has the solution. And quite simply, it's VIOLENCE. (!!!) --He says, quote, "I would smack [Lindsay] in the mouth if I saw her . . . I would say, 'You deserve this and nothing else; whack!' And then if she's not satisfied, I'd put her over my knee and spank her. --"The same thing with Paris Hilton. Those children are begging for help. What they're doing is saying . . . 'Can you please help me?' When people who have celebrity give nothing in return, they need a spanking and a reprimand."
LINDSAY LOHAN IS TRYING TO STOP HER DAD FROM SELLING HER DIARY:
LINDSAY LOHAN has fired off a cease-and-desist letter to her dad, MICHAEL, to stop him from selling some of her personal things. --The most important item Lindsay wants to keep Michael from selling is the diary she kept while she was in rehab in Utah back in 2007. --Supposedly, she found out recently that he's got it, and wants to make a buck off of it. --In the letter, Lindsay's attorney calls Michael's actions, quote, "shameful", and warns that she'll take him to court if he tries to sell the diary . . . or anything else that rightfully belongs to her. --In related news, Michael tells TMZ that he has moved from New York to Los Angeles so he can be closer to Lindsay. (--Yeah, because that's exactly what she wants and needs.) (???) --And, as usual, he's not above taking shots at his ex-wife DINA. He says, quote, "If wedges hadn't been put between us and people didn't use children as pawns, a lot of the problems suffered by children wouldn't happen."
PARIS HILTON IS BANNED FROM THE WYNN PROPERTIES:
PARIS HILTON has been BANNED from the Wynn properties in Las Vegas. Wynn has two resorts . . . The Wynn Las Vegas and Encore. --Paris' boyfriend, Cy Waits, WAS the head of nightclub operations for both joints. But he was FIRED after he and Paris were arrested on the Las Vegas Strip last Friday night. (--Waits was booked on suspicion of DUI, but he hasn't actually been charged yet. Paris was charged with FELONY cocaine possession.) --Meanwhile . . . "USA Today" says that a cop who searched the Escalade that Paris and Cy were in that night found a SPENT DOOBIE.
PARIS HILTON SAYS SHE'S IGNORING THE "RIDICULOUS, UNTRUE AND CRUEL" RUMORS:
PARIS HILTON has been pretty low-key since her arrest last Friday. But she has finally emerged . . . on Twitter. --She said, quote, "These rumors going around are so ridiculous, untrue and cruel. I'm not going to even pay attention to them, because I know the truth." --But E! Online claims that Paris is, quote, "devastated" about the whole thing, and is basically hiding out with Cy and her family. --She's even turning down offers from various clubs that want to take advantage of the publicity by having her host their Labor Day parties. And some of those offers have been for more than 100-grand.
ROD STEWART WANTS PARIS TO GIVE UP THE DRUGS:
PARIS HILTON used to be friends with ROD STEWART'S daughter KIMBERLY. And Rod has fond memories of her. But he thinks it's time for her to grow up. --He says, quote, "She is a lovely girl. I've always found her tremendously polite and very respectful, but, you know, it's time to move on perhaps, give up the drugs. --"You know move on, there's other things, you don't need 'em. She's a beautiful girl. We've all done it, but I've never been a druggie sort of person so I've always been against it." (--Here's video of Rod's remarks . . .)

CATHERINE ZETA-JONES IS UPSET THAT DOCTORS DIDN'T FIND MICHAEL DOUGLAS' CANCER EARLIER:
The other night on "Letterman", MICHAEL DOUGLAS said that he saw several doctors and had numerous tests earlier this summer . . . but nobody found his throat cancer until just last month. --And CATHERINE ZETA-JONES is NOT happy about that. She tells the new issue of "People" magazine, quote, "It makes me furious they didn't detect it earlier. He sought every option and nothing was found." --She also admits that it's tough to watch Michael go through his chemo and radiation therapy . . . quote, "I know maybe I should be stronger, but emotionally I just don't want to see that. The hardest part is seeing his fatigue, because Michael is never tired." --But she adds, quote, "[The diagnosis] wasn't a huge shock. I knew something was up. He knew something was up."
NICOLAS CAGE AND HIS FORMER FINANCIAL ADVISOR HAVE SETTLED THEIR LEGAL DISPUTE:
NICOLAS CAGE has settled his legal dispute with his former financial advisor, Sam Levin. --Cage had sued Levin for $20 MILLION . . . claiming he made risky investments that led Cage to financial ruin, not to mention a $14 million tax bill from the IRS. --Levin fired back by suing Cage for $128,000 in unpaid fees. And he said that Cage had basically destroyed his OWN finances before he even started working for him. --There's no word on the terms of the settlement . . . but obviously, it means neither of these lawsuits will go to court. Which is probably too bad. --Levin was prepared to go into detail about all the stupid things Cage blew his money on, including, quote, "15 palatial homes around the world, four yachts, an island in the Bahamas, a Gulfstream jet, [and] millions of dollars in jewelry and art."
DR. OZ HAD A PRECANCEROUS GROWTH REMOVED FROM HIS COLON:
DR. OZ . . . you know, the TV doctor who only goes by his first name but ISN'T a quack . . . went in for a colonoscopy after his 50th birthday, which was in June. --And they found something called an adenomatous polyp, which is a PRECANCEROUS GROWTH, in his colon. --He says, quote, "This was a shakeup for me. I have done everything right. I don't have any family history, and yet I'm high risk now. It's frustrating. Why did this happen to me? It forces you to question the assumptions you make about life." --Dr. Oz had the tissue removed, and he'll have to have another screening in a few months to make sure they got it all, and that no other growths have formed. --Dr. Oz says he's lucky, because he had the colonoscopy for his show. Otherwise, he says, quote, "I would have put this off, like a lot of people. But I bet this saved my life." (--Dr. Oz will discuss this chaos on the season premiere of "The Dr. Oz Show" next Tuesday.)
CHECK OUT THE SAMANTHA RONSON DOG ATTACK 911 CALL:
The 911 call from when SAMANTHA RONSON'S bulldog, Cadillac, attacked and killed a Maltese in her apartment building hit the Internet yesterday. --The caller tells the operator, quote, "A vicious bulldog killed another dog and bit its owner." (--We've heard that Cadillac did NOT bite the owner of the other dog. But we don't have the official word on that yet.) --There's only one part of the call that's kind of funny. The operator asks the caller if the owner of the bulldog is male or female . . . and he replies, quote, "I believe a male." (--I know, I know. It's a low blow. But that doesn't make it unfunny. You can listen to the call here . . .)

JESSICA ALBA DOESN'T LIKE TO PLAY LATINA CHARACTERS . . . BECAUSE THEY'RE USUALLY TOO STEREOTYPICAL:
JESSICA ALBA appears in THE movie of the summer, "Machete", which opens TOMORROW. And she's playing her very first Latina character. --It's true. Even though she's half Mexican, Jessica has NEVER played a specifically ethnic character. And there's a reason for that. --She says, quote, "For me, I never wanted to reinforce any stereotypes about Latin women, and that was why I've shied away from Latin characters I've been offered. Most of them reinforced the stigmas. --"The women whom I grew up with are intelligent, strong women, and unless I read a woman being portrayed that way in a film, I didn't want to play it." --Jessica says her character in "Machete", Sartana, is, quote, "an intelligent, fierce, independent woman."
BELLA'S BIRTHING SCENE IN "BREAKING DAWN" WILL BE AS INTENSE AS IT IS IN THE BOOK:
In the final "Twilight" book, "Breaking Dawn", Bella gives birth to Edward's baby . . . and it's a very intense and bloody scene. --And screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg says they won't shy away from the gruesomeness of it in the movie. In fact, she calls the scene, quote, "as intense as it is in the book." --But apparently it won't be as gory. She adds, quote, "I don't think it's about the amount of blood you show. It's about the intensity of it. It's on their faces. --"It's all from Bella's point of view when you're seeing what's going. It should feel visceral. I think it's going to be pretty intense."
KEANU REEVES AND ALEX WINTER ARE TALKING ABOUT A THIRD "BILL & TED MOVIE:
Bill and Ted had an "Excellent Adventure" in 1989 . . . and a "Bogus Journey" in 1991. But they may have yet another adventure . . . or journey . . . in them. --ALEX WINTER . . . a.k.a. Bill . . . says that he and KEANU REEVES . . . a.k.a. Ted . . . are talking about another sequel. --But they have to find the right concept first. He says the ideas they've come up with so far have been, quote, "too dark."
THE "DANCING WITH THE STARS" PAIRS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED:
This season's "Dancing with the Stars" pairs were revealed yesterday on "Good Morning America".

The "Hollywood Reporter" has published a list of celebrities who were asked to appear on "Dancing with the Stars" . . . but turned down the opportunity. Here's the list of people the show COULDN'T land . . . at least, not yet: --Sylvester Stallone . . . former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice . . . environmental activist and whistle-blower Erin Brockovich . . . and conservative political commentator Ann Coulter, who's kinda hot when she isn't talking. (--That's the REAL Erin Brockovich, of course . . . the woman JULIA ROBERTS portrayed in the movie of the same name.) --Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg, who's now 26 years old and worth around $4 BILLION . . . Sir Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin empire, who's now 60 years old and worth around $3.9 BILLION . . . --Kirstie Alley, who's said she was scared to do the show, but might cave in if they ask her next time . . . Drew Carey . . . Suzanne Somers . . . -Ryan O'Neal and Jamie Lee Curtis. (--"Community's" Joel McHale and Tim Allen were also named, but they claim they were never asked.) --Meanwhile, the "Hollywood Reporter" says that there are numerous celebrities who have LOBBIED to be cast on the show. Sadly, there isn't a list of those names, but a so-called "source" says, quote, "Melanie Griffith tries to get on every season."
CONAN O'BRIEN HAS ANNOUNCED THE NAME OF HIS NEW SHOW:
CONAN O'BRIEN released a video yesterday, announcing the title of his upcoming TBS show, which premieres on November 8th. --It'll be called . . . "Conan". That's it. "Conan". --In the video, Conan unveils the title by sloppily writing it on some paper. It looks like he wrote "Conaw" . . . with a "w" at the end . . . so he jokes that he'll have to go with that since they're only filming one take of the announcement.
(--Watch the video, here . . .)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHeyO2W8aPU
--In a statement, Conan added, quote, "I'm just using 'Conan' and dropping the 'O'Brien' because I want to get away from the whole Irish thing."

Basically, the usual craziness. (--For more, hit up CBS' "Amazing Race" site, HERE.)
AN "OFFICE" PRODUCER WANTS HARVEY KEITEL TO TAKE OVER FOR STEVE CARELL: (???)
"Office" executive producer PAUL LIEBERSTEIN . . . who also plays Toby . . . has revealed who HE wants to replace STEVE CARELL when he leaves the show after this coming season: HARVEY KEITEL. --And apparently, he's serious about that. (--Harvey is mostly known as a SERIOUS actor . . . who regularly shows off his penis in his movies. You'd recognize him from a ton of stuff, including . . . "The Piano", "Bad Lieutenant", "Pulp Fiction", "Reservoir Dogs" and "Taxi Driver".) --Lieberstein explained, quote, "He's a real tough guy, but I saw him in 'Life on Mars' and I saw a lot more comedy in his work, just little slivers of it, little things he would do that made me think he's capable of a lot more than what [he's done]. --"I haven't started any talks with his people, but [he'd] do a great job . . . [he'd bring] a very different energy. And we don't want to bring in another Michael, having someone play a very similar character because we have such a high regard for Steve." --He even has an outline for what Harvey's character would be: An old salesman who retired . . . but is forced to return to work because of the stock market crash.

JUSTIN BIEBER INVITED A TON OF SPECIAL GUESTS TO HIS NEW YORK CONCERT, WHICH WAS FILMED FOR HIS UPCOMING 3-D MOVIE:
JUSTIN BIEBER performed at New York City's Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night . . . and the show was PACKED with guest appearances. --Everyone was going all out because footage from this concert is going to be included in Justin's upcoming 3-D movie, which will crash into theaters in February. --At the beginning of the show, Justin told the crowd, quote, "I've got a lot of surprises for you tonight."

CHRIS MARTIN PLAYED A SONG HE MAY NEVER RELEASE AT THE APPLE PRESS CONFERENCE:
For nerds, Apple press conferences are a big deal. For nerds who are COLDPLAY fans, yesterday's Apple iPod announcement was a SUPER big deal. I guess. --That's because singer CHRIS MARTIN performed "Wedding Bells" . . . a song he said, quote, "might not even come out. [This] could be the only time it ever appears." --Well technically, he's already played it before. There's video of Chris performing a partial, acoustic version of it on YouTube. It's from some British TV show last fall. (--Anyway, here's the video from the Apple performance . . .)

MARIAH CAREY WILL PUT OUT ANOTHER CHRISTMAS ALBUM THIS YEAR:
The website Rap-Up.com says that MARIAH CAREY will release a Christmas album this year called "Merry Christmas [to] You". (--The "to" is being written as the Roman Numeral for the NUMBER TWO . . . II. She did that to be clever because this is her second Christmas album. Her first, titled just "Merry Christmas", came out in 1994.) --The word is that it'll feature a few original songs in addition to Christmas classics. The site says the album will hit stores on November 2nd.
THE BAND WAR HAS SUED PEPSI FOR $10 MILLION:
WAR . . . the '70s funk band known for the songs "Low Rider", "Spill the Wine" and "The Cisco Kid" . . . is suing Pepsi for $10 MILLION. --The problem has to do with another one of War's hit songs, "Why Can't We Be Friends?". Pepsi has been using that song in an ad campaign for Pepsi Max, and they're not cool with that. --Here's what they're talking about: In one commercial, "Why Can't We Be Friends" plays on the jukebox in the background. (--You can check it out, here . . .)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX0fmBHiZy4
--The song is an intentional and important part of the commercial . . . but yet, War claims Pepsi didn't clear it with the band first. --Obviously, there's probably some miscommunication somewhere, because it's hard to believe Pepsi would overtly use that song without permission. --Regardless, War wants it all sorted out . . . and a $10 million lawsuit will get some attention. For now though, there's no comment from Pepsi.
50 CENT IS LAYING OFF TWITTER . . . SO HE CAN FINISH HIS ALBUM:
Perhaps KANYE WEST should take note. 50 CENT has BANNED himself from using Twitter this weekend . . . so he can focus on finishing his next album. The disc is titled "The Return of the Heartless Monster". (???) --Yesterday, he Tweeted, quote, "OK, ladies and [gentlemen] I'm writing my new album.

All the chapters break down my beliefs and what steps and methods I took to get in this position. --"I just go and break [them] down into detail. I just want all my fans to read it when my album drops and have a good read and feel where I'm coming from."
NAZZY’S RANDOM STUFF
A MAN IN NEW YORK JUMPS OFF A 39-STORY BUILDING . . . LANDS ON A CAR . . . AND SURVIVES:
Apparently, God has big plans for 22-year-old Thomas Magill of Manhattan, New York. Because that's the ONLY explanation for why he's alive today. --On Monday, Thomas jumped off a 39-story high rise in Manhattan. He fell more than 400 feet. By the time he was close to the ground he was falling at 126 miles-per-hour. And . . . HE SURVIVED. --A 40-year-old named Guy McCormack had just parked his wife's Dodge Charger right in front of the building. So Thomas didn't hit the pavement . . . he crashed through the back windshield of the Charger and landed in the backseat instead. --And thanks to the Charger, he didn't die. In fact, all things considered, he got out of there cheap . . . with only a broken leg, a shattered ankle and a collapsed lung. He's in critical condition, but it looks like he's going to pull through. --The police won't say for sure WHY Thomas jumped. Apparently, he had posted something on Facebook beforehand saying, quote, "I hate my life" . . . so it looks like it was a suicide attempt. --According to the "New York Post", Thomas is an aspiring actor and has been working at DKNY and Club Monaco stores to make ends meet.

CHECK OUT THE TOP TEN "SEXIEST" COLLEGES IN AMERICA:
A website called Unigo just finished a survey of more than 30,000 college students to try to figure out the SEXIEST colleges in America. --They asked the students to rank schools based on their reputations on several "sexy" factors like the general attractiveness . . . how sexually open the students are . . . whether there are a lot of STD rumors there . . . and the male-to-female ratio. --So, based on rumors, speculation and perceived skankiness, here are the top 10 sexiest schools in the country.

OLD PEOPLE LIKE NEWS STORIES THAT CRITICIZE YOUNG PEOPLE . . . BECAUSE IT HELPS THEIR SELF-ESTEEM:
Look, we all KNOW that teenagers today are spoiled, entitled, un-ambitious and lazy. But the media keeps reporting those things anyway, even though they've long been established as scientific facts. And now we know why. --According to a new study at Ohio State University, older people LOVE hearing negative news stories about younger people . . . because it boosts their self-esteem. --Dr. Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick led the study. She says, quote, "Living in a youth-centered culture . . . where younger people are seen as having higher status in our society . . . negative news may help boost [older people's] self-esteem." --The study found that older people feel like they're portrayed as slow and forgetful in the media. (Reuters)
AND THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T ASK YOUR DRUG DEALER FOR CHANGE:
Man, some drug dealers REALLY don't understand the value of customer service. --On Saturday, 19-year-old Sidney McVay Jr. of Iowa City, Iowa, was at his apartment doing his usual thing . . . DEALING DRUGS. One of his clients came and bought some drugs . . . but gave Sidney too much money. --So the client asked for change. Sidney let him know that drug dealers don't really make change, and refused. They started arguing . . . it turned physical . . . and Sidney ended up PUNCHING his client out. Then he fled. --Police got to the scene and a witness pointed out Sidney . . . who'd wandered back home by that point. He was arrested . . . all of the charges against him are still pending. (Iowa City Press Citizen)
YOUNG WOMEN ACTUALLY MAKE MORE MONEY THAN MEN . . . *IF* THEY'RE WILLING TO STAY SINGLE AND CHILDLESS:
Women make less money than men. Every statistic EVER backs that up. Even if it's not fair, it's the truth. Well . . . according to new Census Bureau data, there's actually one group of women who OUT EARN men in their same age group. --Women between 22 and 30 actually make about 8% MORE than men in that same group . . . under two conditions. The women have to be SINGLE . . . and they have to be CHILDLESS. Once they're married or mothers, their income drops. --The reason that young, single women out-earn men is because they're more likely to go to college, putting them into higher-paying jobs. Men that age are much more likely to be in lower-paying blue collar jobs. (Wall Street Journal)
WHICH FIVE SURFACES THAT WE TOUCH EVERY DAY ARE COVERED IN THE MOST GERMS?
Ready to have the urge to wash your hands 400 times in the next six hours? Here's a list of the five surfaces we touch every day that are totally and completely ENGULFED in germs.
#1.) PUBLIC MAGAZINES. Magazines in waiting rooms, on airplanes, and at libraries get passed around through tons of people's unwashed hands. Plus, since they've got dry surfaces, bacteria like E. coli can survive on them for months.
#2.) OFFICE KEYBOARDS. Your keyboard generally has about five times more germs as a PUBLIC TOILET SEAT. The little gaps between the keys are the perfect place for bacteria to live and grow.
#3.) THE GYM. A study a few years back found bacteria that could cause the cold virus on 73% of weights and 51% of aerobic equipment at the gym. Wash your hands VIGOROUSLY after you work out.
#4.) SHOPPING CARTS. In 2006, a study by the University of Arizona found that two out of every three shopping cart handles were contaminated with FECAL BACTERIA.

NAZZY’S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY
#1.) A NEW VIDEO OF THE CHILEAN MINERS SHOWS THEM SMILING AND WEARING NEW CLOTHES:
A new video of those trapped Chilean miners was released yesterday. A week ago, a video showed them all shirtless and covered in dirt. But since then, rescue workers have sent down all kinds of stuff. --The NEW video shows them smiling and wearing brand new red T-shirts, chanting and clapping, and receiving supplies through one of the three 4-inch bore holes.

#2.) POLICE TASED A 64-YEAR-OLD MAN IN HIS OWN HOME:
A 64-year-old man is suing the police department for Tasing him THREE TIMES in his OWN HOME in Marin County, California (--which is just north of San Francisco). And they did it even though his wife told them he had a heart condition. -Police were originally called after the guy fell on his front steps. But then the officers determined he might be suicidal . . . so they threatened to TASE him if he didn't come for a psychiatric evaluation. (--Search for "Marin man Tased at home". Warning: There's bleeped profanity.)

#3.) AND NOW . . . "ITALIAN SPIDER-MAN":
Other countries love making horrible CHEAP versions of American superhero movies, and some of them are cult classics. And if you've never seen it, there's an awesome SPOOF of those movies on YouTube called "Italian Spiderman". --The trailer is AMAZING, and in the first of the ten installments, Spider-Man . . . played by a chubby dude in a red turtleneck . . . bets his life on a game of black jack.
(--Search for "Italian Spiderman trailer" and "Italian Spiderman 1." Here's the trailer and Episode One.)

#4.) HERE'S THE FIRST-EVER TV AD FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA:
A local TV station in Sacramento has aired the first-ever commercial for medical marijuana. It's a 30-second ad for "CannaCare", a local medical marijuana dispensary. But they never actually say the word "marijuana", it's all about "Cannabis Relief". --Basically, it's a bunch of real people talking about why they need it to treat medical conditions like muscle spasms, hypertension, and HIV. (--Here's a CNN report, with some of the ad. Search for "first pot commercial airs on television".)

FOUR DATING RULES YOU DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW:
Match.com usually does lists of dating rules you SHOULD follow. But right now they've got something different: Here are four conventional dating rules they say you DON'T have to follow . . .
RULE #1.) NEVER DATE A CO-WORKER. Obviously you shouldn't date a LOT of co-workers. But unless your company has a policy against it, don't rule it out either. --A lot of relationships start at work because we spend more time with our co-workers than anyone else.
RULE #2.) REBOUND RELATIONSHIPS NEVER LAST. Some people start processing a break-up months before it happens. So when it actually does, they're already over it. -In other words, there's no set amount of time you should wait before you start dating again. But if you're still emotional about the break-up, your rebound relationship probably won't last.
RULE #3.) NEVER DATE A FRIEND'S EX. It's possible to pull this one off, but only if you ask for your friend's permission BEFORE anything happens. And it also helps if they broke up a WHILE ago . . . not a WEEK ago.
RULE #4.) ONLY DATE ONE PERSON AT A TIME. Playing the field increases your chances of finding the person you want, and it's a lot faster. So if you have more than one prospect, don't commit too early. --Just make sure you're HONEST, or it'll blow up in your face. (Match.com)

Living Paycheck-To-Paycheck
As the effects of the recession linger on, one place it continues to have a tight grip is on workers’ wallets. Nearly eight-in-ten (77%) workers report that they live paycheck-to-paycheck to make ends meet; 61% felt they lived paycheck-to-paycheck to make ends meet in 2009. Workers also say that sometimes they’re unable to make ends meet at all, with 22% saying they have missed payments on bills in the last year, according to a new survey by CareerBuilder. Workers said they have made a variety of changes to their living and spending habits to help get by, including:
Cut back on leisure activities 54%
Used coupons or shopped at discount stores 48%
Drove less to save on gas 37%
Cancelled cable and other subscriptions 12%
Used public transportation 5%
Other results:
· 21% workers say they have reduced their 401(k) contributions or personal savings in the last year to get by.
· 33% say that they do not participate in any programs such as 401(k), IRAs or retirement plans.
· 30% report that they don’t put any money aside into their savings each month, while 28% set aside $100 or less per month for savings and 14% save less than $50.
This comes to us from the rarely-reliable "Star" tabloid . . . so it's probably a long shot, but . . . --A so-called "witness" says he walked in on ASHTON KUTCHER making out with a hot, young blonde in the bathroom of an Italian restaurant called Madeo recently. --He says, quote, "Ashton had this gorgeous girl pinned against the wall, and he was totally making out with her. I was shocked to see him sucking face with a girl who obviously wasn't Demi." --A friend of Demi's says this is pretty much her worst fear come true . . . quote, "All along, Demi was told it would never work, that he's going to cheat. When she finds out that it happened, she'll be devastated." --Ashton hit back on Twitter yesterday, saying, quote, "I think 'Star' magazine calling me a 'cheater' qualifies as defamation of character. I hope my lawyer agrees." --He added, quote, "'STAR' magazine . . . you don't get to stand behind 'freedom of the press' when you are writing fiction." --And Demi added, quote, "Excellent point my love!"
JODIE SWEETIN HAD HER BABY:
JODIE SWEETIN . . . who played Stephanie Tanner on "Full House" back in the day . . . gave birth to a baby girl Tuesday. This is the first child for Jodie and her boyfriend, Morty Coyle.

CELINE DION AND HER UNBORN BABIES ARE FINE:
There's a report going around that CELINE DION had to have emergency surgery because of some kind of problem with her pregnancy.

ARE CHARLIZE THERON & SEAN PENN DATING???
"In Touch Weekly" seems to think there's something going on between SEAN PENN and CHARLIZE THERON. (--He's 50, she's 35.) --Sean has supposedly been "helping" Charlize through her split with longtime boyfriend STUART TOWNSEND . . . but things have escalated beyond the "helping" stage. --A so-called "source" says, quote, "Sean thinks she's beautiful, and she thinks he's brilliant."
JERRY LEWIS WANTS TO PUNCH LINDSAY LOHAN IN THE MOUTH:
JERRY LEWIS is a bona fide Hollywood legend. So perhaps it's time to turn to him for advice on how to handle LINDSAY LOHAN, PARIS HILTON and the rest of their kind. --Jerry . . . who's 84 years old . . . has the solution. And quite simply, it's VIOLENCE. (!!!) --He says, quote, "I would smack [Lindsay] in the mouth if I saw her . . . I would say, 'You deserve this and nothing else; whack!' And then if she's not satisfied, I'd put her over my knee and spank her. --"The same thing with Paris Hilton. Those children are begging for help. What they're doing is saying . . . 'Can you please help me?' When people who have celebrity give nothing in return, they need a spanking and a reprimand."
LINDSAY LOHAN IS TRYING TO STOP HER DAD FROM SELLING HER DIARY:
LINDSAY LOHAN has fired off a cease-and-desist letter to her dad, MICHAEL, to stop him from selling some of her personal things. --The most important item Lindsay wants to keep Michael from selling is the diary she kept while she was in rehab in Utah back in 2007. --Supposedly, she found out recently that he's got it, and wants to make a buck off of it. --In the letter, Lindsay's attorney calls Michael's actions, quote, "shameful", and warns that she'll take him to court if he tries to sell the diary . . . or anything else that rightfully belongs to her. --In related news, Michael tells TMZ that he has moved from New York to Los Angeles so he can be closer to Lindsay. (--Yeah, because that's exactly what she wants and needs.) (???) --And, as usual, he's not above taking shots at his ex-wife DINA. He says, quote, "If wedges hadn't been put between us and people didn't use children as pawns, a lot of the problems suffered by children wouldn't happen."
PARIS HILTON IS BANNED FROM THE WYNN PROPERTIES:
PARIS HILTON has been BANNED from the Wynn properties in Las Vegas. Wynn has two resorts . . . The Wynn Las Vegas and Encore. --Paris' boyfriend, Cy Waits, WAS the head of nightclub operations for both joints. But he was FIRED after he and Paris were arrested on the Las Vegas Strip last Friday night. (--Waits was booked on suspicion of DUI, but he hasn't actually been charged yet. Paris was charged with FELONY cocaine possession.) --Meanwhile . . . "USA Today" says that a cop who searched the Escalade that Paris and Cy were in that night found a SPENT DOOBIE.
PARIS HILTON SAYS SHE'S IGNORING THE "RIDICULOUS, UNTRUE AND CRUEL" RUMORS:
PARIS HILTON has been pretty low-key since her arrest last Friday. But she has finally emerged . . . on Twitter. --She said, quote, "These rumors going around are so ridiculous, untrue and cruel. I'm not going to even pay attention to them, because I know the truth." --But E! Online claims that Paris is, quote, "devastated" about the whole thing, and is basically hiding out with Cy and her family. --She's even turning down offers from various clubs that want to take advantage of the publicity by having her host their Labor Day parties. And some of those offers have been for more than 100-grand.
ROD STEWART WANTS PARIS TO GIVE UP THE DRUGS:
PARIS HILTON used to be friends with ROD STEWART'S daughter KIMBERLY. And Rod has fond memories of her. But he thinks it's time for her to grow up. --He says, quote, "She is a lovely girl. I've always found her tremendously polite and very respectful, but, you know, it's time to move on perhaps, give up the drugs. --"You know move on, there's other things, you don't need 'em. She's a beautiful girl. We've all done it, but I've never been a druggie sort of person so I've always been against it." (--Here's video of Rod's remarks . . .)

CATHERINE ZETA-JONES IS UPSET THAT DOCTORS DIDN'T FIND MICHAEL DOUGLAS' CANCER EARLIER:
The other night on "Letterman", MICHAEL DOUGLAS said that he saw several doctors and had numerous tests earlier this summer . . . but nobody found his throat cancer until just last month. --And CATHERINE ZETA-JONES is NOT happy about that. She tells the new issue of "People" magazine, quote, "It makes me furious they didn't detect it earlier. He sought every option and nothing was found." --She also admits that it's tough to watch Michael go through his chemo and radiation therapy . . . quote, "I know maybe I should be stronger, but emotionally I just don't want to see that. The hardest part is seeing his fatigue, because Michael is never tired." --But she adds, quote, "[The diagnosis] wasn't a huge shock. I knew something was up. He knew something was up."
NICOLAS CAGE AND HIS FORMER FINANCIAL ADVISOR HAVE SETTLED THEIR LEGAL DISPUTE:
NICOLAS CAGE has settled his legal dispute with his former financial advisor, Sam Levin. --Cage had sued Levin for $20 MILLION . . . claiming he made risky investments that led Cage to financial ruin, not to mention a $14 million tax bill from the IRS. --Levin fired back by suing Cage for $128,000 in unpaid fees. And he said that Cage had basically destroyed his OWN finances before he even started working for him. --There's no word on the terms of the settlement . . . but obviously, it means neither of these lawsuits will go to court. Which is probably too bad. --Levin was prepared to go into detail about all the stupid things Cage blew his money on, including, quote, "15 palatial homes around the world, four yachts, an island in the Bahamas, a Gulfstream jet, [and] millions of dollars in jewelry and art."
DR. OZ HAD A PRECANCEROUS GROWTH REMOVED FROM HIS COLON:
DR. OZ . . . you know, the TV doctor who only goes by his first name but ISN'T a quack . . . went in for a colonoscopy after his 50th birthday, which was in June. --And they found something called an adenomatous polyp, which is a PRECANCEROUS GROWTH, in his colon. --He says, quote, "This was a shakeup for me. I have done everything right. I don't have any family history, and yet I'm high risk now. It's frustrating. Why did this happen to me? It forces you to question the assumptions you make about life." --Dr. Oz had the tissue removed, and he'll have to have another screening in a few months to make sure they got it all, and that no other growths have formed. --Dr. Oz says he's lucky, because he had the colonoscopy for his show. Otherwise, he says, quote, "I would have put this off, like a lot of people. But I bet this saved my life." (--Dr. Oz will discuss this chaos on the season premiere of "The Dr. Oz Show" next Tuesday.)
CHECK OUT THE SAMANTHA RONSON DOG ATTACK 911 CALL:
The 911 call from when SAMANTHA RONSON'S bulldog, Cadillac, attacked and killed a Maltese in her apartment building hit the Internet yesterday. --The caller tells the operator, quote, "A vicious bulldog killed another dog and bit its owner." (--We've heard that Cadillac did NOT bite the owner of the other dog. But we don't have the official word on that yet.) --There's only one part of the call that's kind of funny. The operator asks the caller if the owner of the bulldog is male or female . . . and he replies, quote, "I believe a male." (--I know, I know. It's a low blow. But that doesn't make it unfunny. You can listen to the call here . . .)

JESSICA ALBA DOESN'T LIKE TO PLAY LATINA CHARACTERS . . . BECAUSE THEY'RE USUALLY TOO STEREOTYPICAL:
JESSICA ALBA appears in THE movie of the summer, "Machete", which opens TOMORROW. And she's playing her very first Latina character. --It's true. Even though she's half Mexican, Jessica has NEVER played a specifically ethnic character. And there's a reason for that. --She says, quote, "For me, I never wanted to reinforce any stereotypes about Latin women, and that was why I've shied away from Latin characters I've been offered. Most of them reinforced the stigmas. --"The women whom I grew up with are intelligent, strong women, and unless I read a woman being portrayed that way in a film, I didn't want to play it." --Jessica says her character in "Machete", Sartana, is, quote, "an intelligent, fierce, independent woman."
BELLA'S BIRTHING SCENE IN "BREAKING DAWN" WILL BE AS INTENSE AS IT IS IN THE BOOK:
In the final "Twilight" book, "Breaking Dawn", Bella gives birth to Edward's baby . . . and it's a very intense and bloody scene. --And screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg says they won't shy away from the gruesomeness of it in the movie. In fact, she calls the scene, quote, "as intense as it is in the book." --But apparently it won't be as gory. She adds, quote, "I don't think it's about the amount of blood you show. It's about the intensity of it. It's on their faces. --"It's all from Bella's point of view when you're seeing what's going. It should feel visceral. I think it's going to be pretty intense."
KEANU REEVES AND ALEX WINTER ARE TALKING ABOUT A THIRD "BILL & TED MOVIE:
Bill and Ted had an "Excellent Adventure" in 1989 . . . and a "Bogus Journey" in 1991. But they may have yet another adventure . . . or journey . . . in them. --ALEX WINTER . . . a.k.a. Bill . . . says that he and KEANU REEVES . . . a.k.a. Ted . . . are talking about another sequel. --But they have to find the right concept first. He says the ideas they've come up with so far have been, quote, "too dark."

SYLVESTER STALLONE AND CONDOLEEZZA RICE ARE AMONG THE CELEBRITIES WHO HAVE TURNED DOWN "DANCING WITH THE STARS":
The "Hollywood Reporter" has published a list of celebrities who were asked to appear on "Dancing with the Stars" . . . but turned down the opportunity. Here's the list of people the show COULDN'T land . . . at least, not yet: --Sylvester Stallone . . . former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice . . . environmental activist and whistle-blower Erin Brockovich . . . and conservative political commentator Ann Coulter, who's kinda hot when she isn't talking. (--That's the REAL Erin Brockovich, of course . . . the woman JULIA ROBERTS portrayed in the movie of the same name.) --Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg, who's now 26 years old and worth around $4 BILLION . . . Sir Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin empire, who's now 60 years old and worth around $3.9 BILLION . . . --Kirstie Alley, who's said she was scared to do the show, but might cave in if they ask her next time . . . Drew Carey . . . Suzanne Somers . . . -Ryan O'Neal and Jamie Lee Curtis. (--"Community's" Joel McHale and Tim Allen were also named, but they claim they were never asked.) --Meanwhile, the "Hollywood Reporter" says that there are numerous celebrities who have LOBBIED to be cast on the show. Sadly, there isn't a list of those names, but a so-called "source" says, quote, "Melanie Griffith tries to get on every season."
CONAN O'BRIEN HAS ANNOUNCED THE NAME OF HIS NEW SHOW:
CONAN O'BRIEN released a video yesterday, announcing the title of his upcoming TBS show, which premieres on November 8th. --It'll be called . . . "Conan". That's it. "Conan". --In the video, Conan unveils the title by sloppily writing it on some paper. It looks like he wrote "Conaw" . . . with a "w" at the end . . . so he jokes that he'll have to go with that since they're only filming one take of the announcement.
(--Watch the video, here . . .)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHeyO2W8aPU
--In a statement, Conan added, quote, "I'm just using 'Conan' and dropping the 'O'Brien' because I want to get away from the whole Irish thing."

AN "OFFICE" PRODUCER WANTS HARVEY KEITEL TO TAKE OVER FOR STEVE CARELL: (???)
"Office" executive producer PAUL LIEBERSTEIN . . . who also plays Toby . . . has revealed who HE wants to replace STEVE CARELL when he leaves the show after this coming season: HARVEY KEITEL. --And apparently, he's serious about that. (--Harvey is mostly known as a SERIOUS actor . . . who regularly shows off his penis in his movies. You'd recognize him from a ton of stuff, including . . . "The Piano", "Bad Lieutenant", "Pulp Fiction", "Reservoir Dogs" and "Taxi Driver".) --Lieberstein explained, quote, "He's a real tough guy, but I saw him in 'Life on Mars' and I saw a lot more comedy in his work, just little slivers of it, little things he would do that made me think he's capable of a lot more than what [he's done]. --"I haven't started any talks with his people, but [he'd] do a great job . . . [he'd bring] a very different energy. And we don't want to bring in another Michael, having someone play a very similar character because we have such a high regard for Steve." --He even has an outline for what Harvey's character would be: An old salesman who retired . . . but is forced to return to work because of the stock market crash.

JUSTIN BIEBER INVITED A TON OF SPECIAL GUESTS TO HIS NEW YORK CONCERT, WHICH WAS FILMED FOR HIS UPCOMING 3-D MOVIE:

CHRIS MARTIN PLAYED A SONG HE MAY NEVER RELEASE AT THE APPLE PRESS CONFERENCE:
For nerds, Apple press conferences are a big deal. For nerds who are COLDPLAY fans, yesterday's Apple iPod announcement was a SUPER big deal. I guess. --That's because singer CHRIS MARTIN performed "Wedding Bells" . . . a song he said, quote, "might not even come out. [This] could be the only time it ever appears." --Well technically, he's already played it before. There's video of Chris performing a partial, acoustic version of it on YouTube. It's from some British TV show last fall. (--Anyway, here's the video from the Apple performance . . .)

MARIAH CAREY WILL PUT OUT ANOTHER CHRISTMAS ALBUM THIS YEAR:
The website Rap-Up.com says that MARIAH CAREY will release a Christmas album this year called "Merry Christmas [to] You". (--The "to" is being written as the Roman Numeral for the NUMBER TWO . . . II. She did that to be clever because this is her second Christmas album. Her first, titled just "Merry Christmas", came out in 1994.) --The word is that it'll feature a few original songs in addition to Christmas classics. The site says the album will hit stores on November 2nd.
THE BAND WAR HAS SUED PEPSI FOR $10 MILLION:
WAR . . . the '70s funk band known for the songs "Low Rider", "Spill the Wine" and "The Cisco Kid" . . . is suing Pepsi for $10 MILLION. --The problem has to do with another one of War's hit songs, "Why Can't We Be Friends?". Pepsi has been using that song in an ad campaign for Pepsi Max, and they're not cool with that. --Here's what they're talking about: In one commercial, "Why Can't We Be Friends" plays on the jukebox in the background. (--You can check it out, here . . .)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX0fmBHiZy4
--The song is an intentional and important part of the commercial . . . but yet, War claims Pepsi didn't clear it with the band first. --Obviously, there's probably some miscommunication somewhere, because it's hard to believe Pepsi would overtly use that song without permission. --Regardless, War wants it all sorted out . . . and a $10 million lawsuit will get some attention. For now though, there's no comment from Pepsi.
50 CENT IS LAYING OFF TWITTER . . . SO HE CAN FINISH HIS ALBUM:
Perhaps KANYE WEST should take note. 50 CENT has BANNED himself from using Twitter this weekend . . . so he can focus on finishing his next album. The disc is titled "The Return of the Heartless Monster". (???) --Yesterday, he Tweeted, quote, "OK, ladies and [gentlemen] I'm writing my new album.

According to AllHipHop.com, the music will be unleashed online around NOON on Labor Day.

(--And it sounds like a totally UNBEARABLE read.) --Soulja says, quote, "It talks about me making my first million dollars at 17 years old. I talk about how my life changed. All the chapters break down my beliefs and what steps and methods I took to get in this position. --"I just go and break [them] down into detail. I just want all my fans to read it when my album drops and have a good read and feel where I'm coming from."
NAZZY’S RANDOM STUFF
A MAN IN NEW YORK JUMPS OFF A 39-STORY BUILDING . . . LANDS ON A CAR . . . AND SURVIVES:
Apparently, God has big plans for 22-year-old Thomas Magill of Manhattan, New York. Because that's the ONLY explanation for why he's alive today. --On Monday, Thomas jumped off a 39-story high rise in Manhattan. He fell more than 400 feet. By the time he was close to the ground he was falling at 126 miles-per-hour. And . . . HE SURVIVED. --A 40-year-old named Guy McCormack had just parked his wife's Dodge Charger right in front of the building. So Thomas didn't hit the pavement . . . he crashed through the back windshield of the Charger and landed in the backseat instead. --And thanks to the Charger, he didn't die. In fact, all things considered, he got out of there cheap . . . with only a broken leg, a shattered ankle and a collapsed lung. He's in critical condition, but it looks like he's going to pull through. --The police won't say for sure WHY Thomas jumped. Apparently, he had posted something on Facebook beforehand saying, quote, "I hate my life" . . . so it looks like it was a suicide attempt. --According to the "New York Post", Thomas is an aspiring actor and has been working at DKNY and Club Monaco stores to make ends meet.

If you travel for work a lot and submit a ton of receipts to get reimbursed . . .

OLD PEOPLE LIKE NEWS STORIES THAT CRITICIZE YOUNG PEOPLE . . . BECAUSE IT HELPS THEIR SELF-ESTEEM:
Look, we all KNOW that teenagers today are spoiled, entitled, un-ambitious and lazy. But the media keeps reporting those things anyway, even though they've long been established as scientific facts. And now we know why. --According to a new study at Ohio State University, older people LOVE hearing negative news stories about younger people . . . because it boosts their self-esteem. --Dr. Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick led the study. She says, quote, "Living in a youth-centered culture . . . where younger people are seen as having higher status in our society . . . negative news may help boost [older people's] self-esteem." --The study found that older people feel like they're portrayed as slow and forgetful in the media.

AND THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T ASK YOUR DRUG DEALER FOR CHANGE:
Man, some drug dealers REALLY don't understand the value of customer service. --On Saturday, 19-year-old Sidney McVay Jr. of Iowa City, Iowa, was at his apartment doing his usual thing . . . DEALING DRUGS. One of his clients came and bought some drugs . . . but gave Sidney too much money. --So the client asked for change. Sidney let him know that drug dealers don't really make change, and refused. They started arguing . . . it turned physical . . . and Sidney ended up PUNCHING his client out. Then he fled. --Police got to the scene and a witness pointed out Sidney . . . who'd wandered back home by that point. He was arrested . . . all of the charges against him are still pending. (Iowa City Press Citizen)
YOUNG WOMEN ACTUALLY MAKE MORE MONEY THAN MEN . . . *IF* THEY'RE WILLING TO STAY SINGLE AND CHILDLESS:
Women make less money than men. Every statistic EVER backs that up. Even if it's not fair, it's the truth. Well . . . according to new Census Bureau data, there's actually one group of women who OUT EARN men in their same age group. --Women between 22 and 30 actually make about 8% MORE than men in that same group . . . under two conditions. The women have to be SINGLE . . . and they have to be CHILDLESS. Once they're married or mothers, their income drops. --The reason that young, single women out-earn men is because they're more likely to go to college, putting them into higher-paying jobs. Men that age are much more likely to be in lower-paying blue collar jobs. (Wall Street Journal)
WHICH FIVE SURFACES THAT WE TOUCH EVERY DAY ARE COVERED IN THE MOST GERMS?
Ready to have the urge to wash your hands 400 times in the next six hours? Here's a list of the five surfaces we touch every day that are totally and completely ENGULFED in germs.
#1.) PUBLIC MAGAZINES. Magazines in waiting rooms, on airplanes, and at libraries get passed around through tons of people's unwashed hands. Plus, since they've got dry surfaces, bacteria like E. coli can survive on them for months.
#2.) OFFICE KEYBOARDS. Your keyboard generally has about five times more germs as a PUBLIC TOILET SEAT. The little gaps between the keys are the perfect place for bacteria to live and grow.
#3.) THE GYM. A study a few years back found bacteria that could cause the cold virus on 73% of weights and 51% of aerobic equipment at the gym. Wash your hands VIGOROUSLY after you work out.
#4.) SHOPPING CARTS. In 2006, a study by the University of Arizona found that two out of every three shopping cart handles were contaminated with FECAL BACTERIA.
#5.) SUBWAY POLES. Basically, any surface you touch on public transportation is completely covered in germs and bacteria. Of all the things on this list, these are the MOST infected surfaces of all. (FOX News)
NAZZY’S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY
#1.) A NEW VIDEO OF THE CHILEAN MINERS SHOWS THEM SMILING AND WEARING NEW CLOTHES:

But since then, rescue workers have sent down all kinds of stuff. --The NEW video shows them smiling and wearing brand new red T-shirts, chanting and clapping, and receiving supplies through one of the three 4-inch bore holes.

#2.) POLICE TASED A 64-YEAR-OLD MAN IN HIS OWN HOME:
A 64-year-old man is suing the police department for Tasing him THREE TIMES in his OWN HOME in Marin County, California (--which is just north of San Francisco). And they did it even though his wife told them he had a heart condition. -Police were originally called after the guy fell on his front steps. But then the officers determined he might be suicidal . . . so they threatened to TASE him if he didn't come for a psychiatric evaluation. (--Search for "Marin man Tased at home". Warning: There's bleeped profanity.)

#3.) AND NOW . . . "ITALIAN SPIDER-MAN":
Other countries love making horrible CHEAP versions of American superhero movies, and some of them are cult classics. And if you've never seen it, there's an awesome SPOOF of those movies on YouTube called "Italian Spiderman". --The trailer is AMAZING, and in the first of the ten installments, Spider-Man . . . played by a chubby dude in a red turtleneck . . . bets his life on a game of black jack.

#4.) HERE'S THE FIRST-EVER TV AD FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA:
A local TV station in Sacramento has aired the first-ever commercial for medical marijuana. It's a 30-second ad for "CannaCare", a local medical marijuana dispensary. But they never actually say the word "marijuana", it's all about "Cannabis Relief". --Basically, it's a bunch of real people talking about why they need it to treat medical conditions like muscle spasms, hypertension, and HIV. (--Here's a CNN report, with some of the ad. Search for "first pot commercial airs on television".)

FOUR DATING RULES YOU DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW:
Match.com usually does lists of dating rules you SHOULD follow. But right now they've got something different: Here are four conventional dating rules they say you DON'T have to follow . . .
RULE #1.) NEVER DATE A CO-WORKER. Obviously you shouldn't date a LOT of co-workers. But unless your company has a policy against it, don't rule it out either. --A lot of relationships start at work because we spend more time with our co-workers than anyone else.
RULE #2.) REBOUND RELATIONSHIPS NEVER LAST. Some people start processing a break-up months before it happens. So when it actually does, they're already over it. -In other words, there's no set amount of time you should wait before you start dating again. But if you're still emotional about the break-up, your rebound relationship probably won't last.
RULE #3.) NEVER DATE A FRIEND'S EX. It's possible to pull this one off, but only if you ask for your friend's permission BEFORE anything happens. And it also helps if they broke up a WHILE ago . . . not a WEEK ago.
RULE #4.) ONLY DATE ONE PERSON AT A TIME. Playing the field increases your chances of finding the person you want, and it's a lot faster. So if you have more than one prospect, don't commit too early. --Just make sure you're HONEST, or it'll blow up in your face. (Match.com)

· 33% say that they do not participate in any programs such as 401(k), IRAs or retirement plans.
· 30% report that they don’t put any money aside into their savings each month, while 28% set aside $100 or less per month for savings and 14% save less than $50.
