HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW (10-05-10)

IS NICK JONAS DATING A 20-YEAR-OLD BRITISH GIRL?

NICK JONAS is currently appearing in a London production of "Les Miserables". And there's talk that he's dating one of his co-stars . . . a 20-year-old British actress named Samantha Barks. (--Nick is 18.) -Sources say they were even holding hands at an after-party on Sunday. But all Nick would say when questioned about it was, quote, "I keep that stuff to myself."


SUSAN SARANDON DIDN'T THINK SHE AND TIM ROBBINS WOULD EVER BREAK UP:

It was a pretty big surprise when SUSAN SARANDON and TIM ROBBINS broke up last year . . . after more than TWO DECADES together. And apparently, Susan was pretty shocked, too. --She says, quote, "People were coming up to me in the street and saying, 'I cried and cried when I heard.' Well, I was sadder! I didn't think it would ever happen, either." --But Susan says the relationship simply ran its course . . . quote, "You bring people into your life at certain times. Maybe you have a relationship to have children, and you realize that it's fulfilled after that point." (--Susan and Tim have two sons, ages 21 and 18. They never made The Big Mistake . . . which they're probably pretty psyched about now.) --She adds, quote, "Your relationship with people or with your job has to be a growing organism. It's not something where you reach a certain point and then you start preserving it. --"You have to nurture it, you have to stay curious and hungry and foolish. Once you stop doing that, you get satisfied, and you get stuck." --Here's something you may not have suspected about Susan Sarandon: She lost her virginity to her first and only husband, CHRIS SARANDON . . . whom she married in 1967, when she was just 20 years old. --She says, quote, "He was the first person I ever had sex with and my best friend. I married so young but took it very seriously; I never had that kind of free-love 1960s. I was slow to lose my virginity." --Susan's reputation may be a little wilder than the reality. She says, quote, "Throughout my life I've been with so few people; I'm one of those serial monogamists. --"I was never that wild, although I was a bit of a hippie chick. I think I probably still am a hippie chick."


JENNIFER ANISTON IS THE MOST ELIGIBLE SINGLE WOMAN IN THE WORLD:

JENNIFER ANISTON is the Most Eligible Single Woman in the World, according to a poll conducted by "60 Minutes" and "Vanity Fair". --29% of those who participated in the poll chose Jennifer. HALLE BERRY finished second, with 21% of the vote. Here's the list . . .

#1.) JENNIFER ANISTON, 29%

#2.) HALLE BERRY, 21%

#3.) ELIN NORDEGREN, 15%

#4.) BETTY WHITE, 11%

#5.) LADY GAGA, 5%

#6.) Supreme Court Justice ELENA KAGAN, 4%

--The poll also asked the question, "Who are you most surprised is still alive?" OSAMA BIN LADEN was the top vote-getter by far, with about 50% of the vote.

--OZZY OSBOURNE ran a distant second, with 19%. Here's the list . . .

#1.) OSAMA BIN LADEN, 50%

#2.) OZZY OSBOURNE, 19%

#3.) KEITH RICHARDS, 9%

#4.) LINDSAY LOHAN, 5%

#5.) ABE VIGODA, 4%

#6.) MICKEY ROURKE, 3%

#7.) NADYA "OCTOMOM" SULEMAN, 1%


HERE'S THAT MUSIC VIDEO LEVI JOHNSTON IS IN:

Remember hearing that LEVI JOHNSTON had appeared in a music video for wannabe pop star BRITTANI SENSER? Well, the video is online. (--Check it out here . . .) http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xf2jpn_brittani-senser-after-love_music
(--Some people think Levi is kind of mocking the Palin family in this video, because he plays a guy who is NOT approved of by his girlfriend's mother.) (--There was also "controversy" because Levi allegedly LIED to Bristol and told her he was going to California to attend a hunting show, when he was actually going there to shoot this video.)


KATHERINE HEIGL IS USING ONE OF THOSE ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES TO QUIT SMOKING:

KATHERINE HEIGL is using one of those "electronic cigarettes" to quit smoking. And if you're wondering if those things actually work . . . Katherine is a satisfied customer so far. --She says, quote, "I use an electronic cigarette. I know it's ridiculous, but it's helping me [avoid smoking] real cigarettes. --"You feel like you are smoking, and you get to exhale but it's just water vapor and not nicotine. I've been doing it for six months." --Heigl says she'll do what she can to keep her adopted daughter, Naleigh, from ever taking up the habit. (--Naleigh is two years old.) --She says, quote, "The one thing I would say to my kid is, 'It's not just that it's bad for you. Do you want to spend the rest of your life fighting a stupid addiction to a stupid thing that doesn't even really give you a good buzz?'"


JOHN MAYER IS TALKING TRASH ABOUT TWITTER AGAIN:

JOHN MAYER left Twitter last month. And you'd think that would have been the end of it. But for some reason, he just can't stop talking about how worthless it is. --Here's what he had to say this weekend on his blog . . . quote, "It occurred to me that since the invocation of Twitter, nobody who has participated in it has created any lasting art. And yes! Yours truly is included in that roundup as well. --"Let me make sure that statement is as absolute and irrevocable as possible by buzzing your tower one more time: no artwork created by someone with a healthy grasp of social media thus far has proven to be anything other than disposable." --He adds, quote, "Those who decide to remain offline will make better work than those online. Why? Because great ideas have to gather. --"They have to pass the test of withstanding thirteen different moods, four different months and sixty different edits. Anything less is day trading. You can either get a bunch of mentions now or change someone's life next year." --And he closed his thoughts with, quote, "I'm not a brand, and I don't refer to myself in the third person. I'm a dude who plays guitar and writes songs. When I'm done writing and recording them I will market them. --"Luckily for those who are cracking their knuckles ready to knock my point of view, that won't be for a long while. Because good (crap) takes a long time. And this is going to take a very long time." (--You can read the whole thing here . . .)

THE OCTOMOM ACTED AS A "CELEBRITY" BARTENDER:

The Octomom, NADYA SULEMAN, made some extra coin over the weekend by acting as a "celebrity" bartender at a joint called Carlos n Charlie's in Ontario, California. (--Here's video . . .)

MARIO SAYS HE LOVES HIS MOTHER VERY MUCH:

Despite being arrested for allegedly assaulting her, R&B singer MARIO has much love for his mother. --He tells "Us Weekly", quote, "I love my mother very much. I will continue to support her any way that I can." --Other than that, Mario says he can't comment on the case. But his people say the incident at the Baltimore apartment Mario and his mother share had to do with her ongoing drug problem. --A source says that Mario found out his mother had stolen money from his account and charged up his credit cards so she could buy drugs. --So he went home to confront her, and found her, quote, "cracked out on drugs." --The source says Mario was just trying to calm her down . . . but she called 911 and told police he had assaulted her.


DANIEL RADCLIFFE, JOE JONAS AND SARAH SILVERMAN HAVE FILMED VIDEOS URGING PEOPLE NOT TO BULLY HOMOSEXUAL KIDS:

Even though it's 2010, there's been a rash of suicides by gay teens who are being bullied. Obviously, this needs to stop. --DANIEL RADCLIFFE, JOE JONAS and SARAH SILVERMAN have all done their part by shooting anti-bullying videos.
(--You can see them at the links below . . .)
(--WARNING!!! Sarah's isn't an official PSA . . . it's just something she slapped together and posted on YouTube. And it contains an unedited F-BOMB . . .)

"AMERICAN IDOL" INSANITY

SO FAR, THE MOST CRITICAL JUDGE ON "AMERICAN IDOL" HAS BEEN . . . RANDY JACKSON???

RANDY JACKSON has not only taken over SIMON COWELL'S chair . . . he's apparently also taken over Simon's position as "Idol's" toughest judge. Seriously. --Sources on the 'Idol' set tell E! Online that Randy has been, quote, "by far, the most critical of the judges." -One source explains, quote, "It's been like Randy has stepped up his game. [He's] being more blunt and bottom line. He's definitely not wishy-washy. --"He's, like, re-branded himself a little." --If you've watched "Idol" over the years, this must be a little hard to believe . . . but RYAN SEACREST confirmed it on his show yesterday. He said that Randy, quote, "is the one to shut it down the most." (--There are two ways to look at this: The best way, is to think that Randy has turned the corner after years of useless commentary packed with catchphrases. Maybe without Simon, he feels comfortable asserting himself and taking over.) (--However, there's also the possibility that Randy hasn't changed . . . but new judges JENNIFER LOPEZ and STEVEN TYLER are SO WEAK that Randy seems tough by comparison. And that would NOT be a good thing.)


SUSAN BOYLE WAS SUPPOSED TO PERFORM ON "DANCING WITH THE STARS" TONIGHT . . . BUT SHE CANCELED BECAUSE SHE'S SICK:

Yet another SUSAN BOYLE performance on American TV has been canceled at the last minute . . . but this time, it was Susan's call. --Susan was supposed to sing a cover of LEONARD COHEN'S "Hallelujah" on tonight's "Dancing with the Stars" results show . . . but she backed out because she was too sick to make the flight here from her home in Scotland. --She reportedly has a "severe throat infection." --Susan was planning on taping the performance last night, but ABC has confirmed that she wasn't able to make it. Former contestant MICHAEL BOLTON will perform in her place. (--Ne-Yo will also perform.) (--It'll be interesting to see if there's any interaction between him and judge BRUNO TONIOLI since Michael is likely *still* bitter about Bruno's comments.)


"SPARTACUS" WILL CONTINUE . . . WITHOUT ANDY WHITFIELD:

The Starz TV series "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" will continue without its star ANDY WHITFIELD, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma back in March. --Producers have just sent out a casting notice . . . seeking a replacement. They're looking for a white male in his mid- to late-30s with an authentic British accent. --Initially, Andy thought he'd be able to return for the show's second season . . . because his cancer was thought to be in remission. But it came back, and Andy was forced to quit to undergo "aggressive treatment." (--Since the search to replace Andy just began, we're assuming it's too early to know the timetable for Season Two.)


WILL BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN APPEAR ON "GLEE"?

"Glee" is doing a BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN tribute episode . . . and it sounds like producers are trying to get Bruce to appear on it. They even have a role for him . . . as the uncle of CORY MONTEITH'S character, Finn Hudson.
(--It's hard to tell how close this is to happening. And while I'm sure the producers would LOVE to land him, it's unclear if The Boss is even interested.)


MOST WOMEN WOULD *NOT* WANT TO DATE OR SLEEP WITH ONE OF THE "JERSEY SHORE" GUYS:

On their "reality" show, the "Jersey Shore" guys act like studs . . . but in real life, most women wouldn't want to date them. Or even sleep with them. --In a survey conducted by Wet . . . which is a LUBRICANT company . . . 80% of women say they would NOT want to sleep with any of the guys on "Jersey Shore". (--That includes THE SITUATION, DJ PAULY D, RONNIE and VINNY.) --So, why wouldn't they? Most women said they couldn't stand the way the "Jersey Shore" men treated the women they brought on the show. --And 60% of men and women said they wouldn't date a cast member . . . because they'd be EMBARRASSED to introduce them as their significant other to their family and friends.


OPRAH TOLD ROSIE O'DONNELL TO "BEHAVE" ON HER NEW SHOW:

ROSIE O'DONNELL will have a new daytime talk show on OPRAH'S OWN network, and Oprah says she's already "warned" Rosie to keep things under control --Oprah tells "Fortune" magazine that she dropped in on Rosie back in June to discuss the new show . . . quote, "Rosie said, 'I know you're here to assess how crazy I am. I said, 'Basically, yes. I'm doing a crazy check.' --"[I also warned her that] she had better behave on OWN. [And I told her,] 'If you have an issue that's causing a problem, speak to me, woman to woman, so that it doesn't become a worldwide issue.'"


IS TNT DEVELOPING A "DALLAS" SPIN-OFF?

The not-always-reliable British tabloids say that TNT is developing a "Dallas" spin-off, which would focus on J.R.'s son John Ross and Bobby Ewing's son Christopher. --They say LARRY HAGMAN will be returning to play J.R., and that the producers are trying to convince PATRICK DUFFY and LINDA GRAY to reprise their roles as Bobby and Sue Ellen. (--These would likely all be RECURRING roles.) --And on top of that, former "24" stud KIEFER SUTHERLAND, JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT, and former "Lost" star JOSH HOLLOWAY are up for starring roles. (--For now, none of this has been confirmed.)

CHECK OUT SOME RIDICULOUS "PERFORMANCE" FOOTAGE OF LADY GAGA AND YOKO ONO:

LADY GAGA joined YOKO ONO onstage during a gig over the weekend . . . and their performances were either PURE GENIUS or the HEIGHT OF INSANITY. --First they did a song called "Hard Times Are Over". Lady Gaga sang a few lines at the top . . . and then rocked out on the piano while Yoko warbled. (--Here's video of that. The song is over eight minutes long, and you'll want to turn down your volume before playing it. It does get interesting at the 7:10 mark when Yoko climbs on top the piano . . . and Lady Gaga JOINS HER.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXpPO8s7Tac
--The other song, "The Sun Is Down", also began with Lady Gaga on the mic. But this time, she performed with Yoko the whole time. (--This one is absolutely manic. The highlight is clearly Lady Gaga's weird twitching and shaking.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MlIACbcyek


JUSTIN BIEBER AND LADY GAGA ARE BOTH EXPECTED TO SURPASS ONE BILLION ALL-TIME VIEWS ON YOUTUBE WITHIN A MONTH:

JUSTIN BIEBER and LADY GAGA are absolutely TEARING UP YOUTUBE . . . not that anyone should be surprised to hear that. --Here are the numbers . . . (--according to a company called TubeMogul, which tracks and analyzes video performance on the Internet.) --Within the next month, both Justin and Lady Gaga are projected to surpass ONE BILLION all-time views on YouTube. That's a record, of course. --If Lady Gaga keeps up her current pace, she'll hit that milestone around October 20th. Justin is expected to make it around November 1st. --But Justin is THE hottest thing on YouTube right now. In September, he averaged 3.7 million views a day . . . while Gaga got hit up 1.8 million times a day. --And since March 1st, Justin has been averaging 3.8 million views a day versus 2.5 million for Lady Gaga. (--By comparison, KANYE WEST is averaging 271,000 views a day since then.) --Over the past six months, Justin has had four of the Top 10 videos on YouTube . . . and his "Baby" video is the site's most-watched video of all-time.

LIL WAYNE WILL SERVE THE REST OF HIS SENTENCE IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT:

He had headphones and a charger for an mp3 player hidden in a potato chip bag in his cell. --Lil Wayne will also have his phone privileges reduced to just one call a week . . . outside of calls to his lawyer. He also won't be allowed to watch TV, and will have to eat all his meals in his cell. --Wayne will be released on November 4th.


A DATE FOR T.I.'S PROBATION HEARING HAS BEEN SET:

ONE OF THE GUYS ON MTV'S "THE BURIED LIFE" ASKED TAYLOR SWIFT OUT ON A DATE . . . AND SHE SAID YES:

Have you seen MTV's "The Buried Life"? It's kind of like "The Bucket List". Basically, instead of old guys, it's four young dudes traveling across North America trying to complete a list of "100 things to do before you die." --On last night's episode, one of the guys, Duncan, wanted to cross off "Ask Out the Girl of Your Dreams" from his list. His dream girl is TAYLOR SWIFT, so he went to the "CMT Music Awards" and asked her out. She texted him back later saying yes. (--Here's a two-part promo of the show. The first segment is Duncan yapping on about why he likes Taylor, and the second segment is at the "CMT Music Awards". It ends just as he's about to ask Taylor out . . .) http://www.mtv.com/videos/?id=1648873


NAZZY’S RANDOM STUFF

A FANTASTIC NEW WEBSITE ANSWERS THE AGE-OLD QUESTION "WHERE THE LADIES AT?"

This is a pretty brilliant idea for a website and an iPhone app. For every guy who's ever been sitting around with your friends wondering "Where the ladies at?" . . . let us introduce you to WhereTheLadies.at. (--The site's been getting a lot of traffic, so unfortunately it's been going in and out recently. Apparently, a lot of dudes out there want to know where the ladies at.) --This site uses data from Foursquare to find out, quite simply, where the ladies at. --If you're not familiar with Foursquare, it's a smartphone app that lets people "check in" at different places, like restaurants, coffee shops, bars, stadiums, wherever. --WhereTheLadies.at searches through Foursquare check-ins in your area for female names. Then it lets you know where the most ladies are hanging out nearby. --Of course there's room for error here. Some men have women's names . . . not that many women check in on Foursquare . . . and by the time you get to the spot where the ladies at, the ladies might be gone. But it's still a great idea. --They're also finishing up an iPhone app that's even simpler: It just puts a giant COMPASS on your iPhone screen, pointing you to the nearest location where the ladies at. (TechCrunch)

HERE'S HOW MUCH YOUR BAD HABITS WILL COST YOU OVER THE COURSE OF YOUR LIFE:

In case you don't feel bad ENOUGH about your bad habits already . . . this should twist the knife just a little deeper. --The website WalletPop.com calculated how much four major bad habits will cost you over the course of your life and . . . wow.

--OVEREATING. Between spending more on food, extra health care costs, and actually losing years of earning because of your lower life expectancy, overeating costs you about $258,000 over the course of your life.

--PLAYING THE LOTTERY. Regularly buying lottery tickets will cost you $31,750 in your lifetime . . . and your odds of winning a big jackpot are approximately one in 195 million.

--CAFFEINE ADDICTION. If you're spending about $1.75 every day on coffee, soda or energy drinks, that comes out to about $113,000 over the course of your life.

--SMOKING. For women, smoking costs $86,000 over the course of your lifetime. For men, who tend to have bigger smoking-related health complications and negative career implications, that jumps to $183,000. (WalletPop)


POLICE SEARCH A MAN AND FIND COCAINE IN HIS BUTTOCKS . . . AND HE CLAIMS IT ISN'T HIS:

I'm sure that half the time police catch someone with drugs, the person tries to pull the "That's not mine" defense. Which MIGHT have a shred of credibility if you're wearing a friend's jacket or something. --But when the police find the drugs gently nestled between your buttocks . . . we feel like the "That's not mine" excuse HAD to fly out the window. 25-year-old Raymond Roberts of Manatee, Florida didn't agree. --Last week, cops pulled him over when they smelled a strong scent of marijuana coming from his Hyundai. --They searched him and, according to the report, quote, "deputies felt a soft object in his buttocks." Raymond was kind enough to fish it out for them . . . it was a small bag of marijuana. --He said that was all he had on him but they kept searching . . . and felt ANOTHER soft object in the buttock area. The cops pulled this one out themselves, and found 27 pieces of rock cocaine. --And that's when Raymond offered up his explanation: The reefer was his . . . but he was just holding the cocaine in his buttocks for a friend. --For some reason the cops didn't buy it, and Raymond has been charged with possession of both marijuana and cocaine. (Bradenton Herald)
A 45-YEAR-OLD MAN SHOOTS A 17-YEAR-OLD IN THE BUTTOCKS FOR REFUSING TO PULL UP HIS SAGGY PANTS:

We've ALWAYS railed against people idiotically sagging their pants. And when that guy on last season's "American Idol" sang about people looking like fools with their pants on the ground, we thought the message had finally become universal. --Unfortunately, 45-year-old Kenneth Bonds of Memphis, Tennessee took that message WAY, WAY too far. --Back on September 25th, Kenneth got into a fight with two teenagers . . . 17-year-old Cameron Tucker and 16-year-old Isaac Taylor . . . after he told them to pull up their damn pants. (--Also, for what it's worth, everyone involved in this story is black, so this wasn't a racially motivated incident.) --They said no, and started arguing with Kenneth. When they turned to walk away, Kenneth pulled out a gun and actually SHOT the 17-year-old IN THE BUTTOCKS. --The bullet exited through his thigh, and fortunately the kid is going to be okay. --On Saturday, Kenneth was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault.

A GUY OUTFITTED HIS HOUSE WITH BOOBY TRAPS TO KEEP BURGLARS OUT . . . AND DIED WHEN FIREFIGHTERS COULDN'T GET PAST THEM:

I thought the whole "booby trap your house to keep robbers out" craze died with the "Home Alone" franchise. But there's a guy in Tukwila, Washington who clearly didn't get the memo. --His name hasn't been released, but he had booby traps set up all over his house to keep out burglars. The most extreme ones were HOLES he cut in the floor and covered with rugs. --But early Monday morning, his house caught on fire. Firefighters arrived on the scene, and once the smoke cleared a little bit, they tried to get into the house. --But with the smoke camouflaging the guy's booby traps, they couldn't get upstairs to save him. --Once they finally put the fire out, they found the man in his bedroom, dead from smoke inhalation. --The firefighters say they've been to the house several times before because of code violations. And they think a lot of the smoke came from old couches the guy had inside. (KIRO 7 - Seattle)


A MAN ROBS A HOUSE . . . BUT PUTS ON THE HOMEOWNER'S CLOTHES AND POSES SO A NEIGHBOR CAN TAKE A PHOTO OF HIM:

Here it is: Your Meatball Criminal of the Day! He's 27-year-old Kristopher Chad Marlowe of Jacksonville, Florida, and he wins the award because he didn't realize that the middle of a burglary probably isn't the best time for a photo op. --Last week, Kristopher robbed a house in Jacksonville. As he was leaving, a man named Chuck Lucas, who lives next door to the house, saw him. And Chuck noticed Kristopher was wearing a hat that looked an awful lot like his neighbor's. --First, Chuck called the police. Then he decided to take a photo of Kristopher with his camera phone. And rather than run away, or turn his head, or even say no . . . Kristopher stopped and POSED for the photo. --When it turned out that, yes, the house had been robbed, the police started circulating the photo. The homeowners recognized the hat . . . and the box of CHEEZ-ITS under Kristopher's arm. --Besides the hat and Cheez-Its, he'd also stolen some small electronics and jewelry. -Someone called the police's Crime Stoppers number and identified Kristopher. He was arrested on Monday. (Florida Times-Union)


A WOMAN IS ARRESTED FOR TRYING TO PASS A DRUG TEST . . . BY PAYING A NINE-YEAR-OLD $1 FOR "CLEAR PEE":

I'm not sure that 51-year-old Rosemary Warren-Morris of Chicago really understands how drug tests work. If they ask you to pee in a cup, you can't just whip out a cup you've been carrying with you and say, "Here ya go." --But apparently, that was her plan. Rosemary was scheduled to take a drug test for a new job this week, and she was afraid her own pee wouldn't pass. --On Saturday, a nine-year-old boy was visiting a family member who lives next door to Rosemary. So she invited him to come over . . . then asked him if he'd pee in a cup for her. --In exchange for his services, she offered him a generous payment of . . . 1 dollar. --So he went in the cup for her. But when he got home, he told his mom what had happened. Naturally, she FLIPPED OUT and called the police. --Even though she never touched the boy, Rosemary was arrested for misdemeanor assault.

Then the woman immediately blurted out something men WISH would get bigger as they got older: Their manhood.

A guy in Milwaukee who calls himself "The Watchman" is patrolling his community in-costume and fighting crime. So in other words . . . there's a dork in Wisconsin who takes comic books WAY too seriously. --The guy doesn't actually fight criminals. He just calls the police if he sees something suspicious. And the best part of the story is the overly dramatic news report a local newspaper did. --It shows the guy walking in slow-motion down a well-lit street, then cuts to a candid shot of him calling a friend on his cell phone. --And it also shows a picture of his business card . . . which has an old email address scratched out and a new one scribbled underneath it.

SIX LIES ABOUT HISTORY YOU LEARNED IN SCHOOL:

You can't believe everything you read . . . and you can't believe everything you're TAUGHT. Here are six lies about history that you probably learned in school . . .

#1.) VINCENT VAN GOGH'S EAR. The story you heard was probably that Van Gogh went crazy and cut off his own ear. But he actually lost it in a fight with artist Paul Gauguin. --The crazy part is true though. And he may have even given the ear to his girlfriend as a gift.

#2.) POCAHONTAS. According to your teacher . . . and the Disney movie . . . Pocahontas saved John Smith's life, then fell in love with him. But in reality, Pocahontas was only 12 years old when they met. -And Smith had a reputation for exaggerating his stories. So the part about her stopping his execution might not have happened either.

#3.) THE FOUNDING FATHERS' RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. In reality, not all of them were Christian. Thomas Jefferson rejected the concept of the Trinity and was against the idea of having a national religion. --Meanwhile, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams were both Deists, which means they believed in God, but not Christianity.

#4.) ISAAC NEWTON AND THE APPLE. We've all heard the old wives' tale that Isaac Newton 'discovered' the law of gravity after an apple fell from a tree and hit him on the head. --But the story was first told 60 years after it allegedly happened . . . which means it probably never did.

#5.) BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND THE KITE. He did propose the idea of flying a kite in a lightning storm, but he never went through with it . . . because he was smart enough to know it would have killed him.

#6.) GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THE CHERRY TREE. The story about George Washington chopping down his dad's cherry tree, and then immediately confessing that he did it . . . probably didn't happen. --It came from a biographer named Parson Weems, who wrote all kinds of amazing stories about Washington. But it turned out that most of them weren't true. (DegreeScout.com)
