LADY GAGA EXPLAINS HER LOLLAPALOOZA CROWD-SURFING...TALKS MORE ABOUT PROP 8 BEING OVERTURNED...PLUS, LADY GAGA: BEHIND THE NUMBERS

Lady Gaga defended her controversial crowd-surfing stunt at Lollapalooza last weekend.

She said: "I was so excited 'cause I haven't crowd-surfed in a long time 'cause no one lets me anymore. It was great. I love Semi Precious so much and they're my band. I don't know what came over me. I just got so excited and I remember playing that stage and what it felt like and they were doing such a great job. I just jumped."

Gaga also talked some more about her happiness over Prop 8 being overturned in California.

She said: "I felt like it was a revolution, a gunshot went off. It was so exciting when it happened. For me, it was a moment that indicates it can happen in every state now."

"I was so happy, and I went right into the studio and I kept writing. My album kind of is done, but I can't stop writing music. I don't know what I'm going to do. I might have to put out two records."

Gaga wrote a song called "Future Love" about the gay community's struggles to achieve the right to legally marry. She didn't spill too many beans about the next album but said she already had a thesis for it.

She said: "I never stop writing, so even when my album's done, I'm always working. When I put this album together, I wanted to write the album in an innovative way. I want the message to be innovative. I already have the sonic ideas and the message ideas. I basically asked friends of mine to produce the record with me, and we're called the banditos."

Lady Gaga is America's new Queen of Pop.

If you don't believe it, take a look at this graphic, which shows a few details about what Gaga is accomplishing:

THE MEL GIBSON DRAMA CONTINUES.... OKSANA CLAIMS HE BROKE INTO HER HOUSE; KICKED THE DOOR DOWN & PUSHED HER

The day after Oksana Grigorieva walked out on Mel Gibson, the actor drove to her house, kicked open the door and pushed his ex-lover... allegedly.

A source says the Russian singer told police that the actor busted into her home and was yelling and screaming.

He then pushed her and she went and got their daughter.

And then he pushed her when she was holding the baby. He then took off.

(J.LOH-VER).... JENNIFER LOPEZ 'OUT' AS AMERICAN IDOL JUDGE

The source says her demands got out of hand.

10 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT STEVEN SLATER AND HIS JET BLUE EXIT

1. Slater is a self-described “Bag Nazi” and it’s this obsession that sparked Monday’s incident. On the now famous flight from Pittsburgh to New York, Steven and a woman got into a disagreement after he insisted her bag had to be gate-checked before they took off. After landing in New York, the woman was angered her bag wasn’t immediately available and ended up hitting Slater with one of the overhead bins. Lesson learned: don’t mess with your flight attendant.
2. Steven has an understanding momma, Diane Slater. She told the press, “I don’t think he’s going to be in trouble very long. I think he just had a very small meltdown, and I think he deserves to be able to have that meltdown if you saw the egg on his head where he got smacked.” Diane currently resides in Steven’s hometown of Thousand Oaks, California, and has lung cancer.
3. Slater currently resides in Rockaway, Queens New York with his boyfriend. Steven was able to get home from his airplane escape before police could arrest him, which makes me slightly worried about airport security.
4. Though Steven is currently living with a man, he was married to a woman throughout the ‘90s. Cynthia Neithamer was surprised to hear about her ex-husband’s actions. She said, “He has been a fantastic and devoted flight attendant. I’m just really surprised because he really loves his job.”
5. The 38-year-old flight attendant has been working in the aviation business for over 20 years and it is one of his biggest passions. When he is not up in the sky, Slater says he is usually doing housework, dining, or going to gym because of all the dining.
6. Music-wise, Steven’s interests lie in “cheesy disco trash and sappy big hair metal ballads” as well as classical, jazz, new age, and lounge.
7. Steven’s emergency exit escapades having already inspired several Facebook groups in support of the flight attendant. They are also trying to raise money for his defense. The biggest group so far has over 100,000 members already.
8. There are even more creative approaches to trying to help the new working hero. They include: auctioning portraits of Slater on eBay, a legal defense fund started by a pilot, and creating interest in a film about the incident.
9. It’s a good thing that people are raising money for Slater because his stunt could end up costing him. The price for using an emergency chute can run up to $25,000, and Steven could also end up serving seven years in jail if he is found guilty for all the charges against him, which include criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and trespassing.
10. Steven is obviously a beer man. His brew of choice is said to be Bud Light. I bet he wished he had grabbed some pretzels too.

SEACREST HAS PLAYED MEET THE PARENTS... DID NOT FAIL A LIE-DETECTOR, LOSE THE FAMILY CAT, OR BURN DOWN THE HOUGH HOUSE

In Touch Weekly reports that Ryan Seacrest has met Julianne Hough's parents.

They flew to Nashville to attend her sister Katherine's 27th birthday and her family loves Ryan.

Apparently the metrosexual Ryan is a Romeo. He paid for Julianne's hotel suite to be covered in orchids, pansies and roses.

"There were rose petals in the Jacuzzi, bouquets all over the floor, flowers on the coffee table, and petals all over her bed. The gesture was beautiful and made Julianne's heart melt."

FANTASIA BARRINO IS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL [2010-08-12 01:00:00]

(Former 'American idol' winner) Fantasia was released from a hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina after an overdose of aspirin and a sleep aid.

Her manager Brian Dickens said: "She has been lifted up by the outpouring of love and support from her fans. She is more committed than ever to her daughter and her work because they are her heart, her soul and inspiration."

The overdose came after 26 year old Fantasia was named in a lawsuit claiming she was having an affair with a married man. Fantasia denied she was responsible for breaking up the marriage, but admitted having dated the man "off and on for 11 months."

Fantasia said she thought the man and his wife were separated. Now she is "heartbroken and sorry for any pain she caused."

(BTW: Trashy gossip sites claim she was also crushed, because her man broke up with her. This is unconfirmed.)

THE 11 CRAZIEST HEALTH MYTHS [2010-08-12 01:00:00]

1. Do colon detox products work, and are they safe?

Answer: No, and they can be dangerous. "Colon cleansing" procedures are based on the theory that fecal matter and toxins stick to the colon wall. But fecal matter doesn't cling to the colon wall. Experts also haven't found any evidence that toxins build up there either.

2. Is it really bad to use a cell phone in the hospital?

Answer: There's a chance that a cell phone call in the wrong spot can cause ventilators, syringe pumps, or even pacemakers to go weird. But another study found that there wasn't any interference between cell phones and medical machines. In the end, it's up to the hospitals to ban them or not.

3. Can muscle really turn to fat?

Answer: No. Fat and muscle are different tissues, so one can't morph into the other. But sometimes it seems like they do. That's because you start to lose muscle in your 30s, especially if you don't exercise. That can slow metabolism by 3% per decade. The fat usually shows up in the spots where you once had muscle, like the backs of your arms.

4. Does Listerine mouthwash help keep mosquitoes away?

Answer: No. Research has found that people who sprayed Listerine on their arms were just as likely to be bitten as those who didn't use anything. The myth is out there because Listerine has eucalyptol, which is an ingredient found in some bug sprays. But the concentration in mouthwash is too low to do anything.

5. Is it true that liquid eyeliner causes sinus infections?

Answer: This rumor claims that eyeliner drains into the sinuses, gets trapped, and causes an infection, but it's not possible. Our natural tearing process can send bits of makeup into the tear ducts, but they drain into the nose and out the nostrils. If you get eye irritation and sinus problems after wearing eyeliner, it's probably an allergic reaction.

6. Can thong underwear cause infections down there?

Answer: In theory, it's possible , because the thin strip of fabric that forms the back of the thong sits right over the anus and has a direct line to the urinary tract. That could lead to an infection, but it's not likely. What's more likely is that a thong can create tiny cracks in the skin or cause irritation to the very delicate tissues down there. But there's no medical reason to stop wearing it.

7. Can cracking your knuckles cause arthritis?

Answer: Nope. A study compared 74 people 45 and older who had been chronic knuckle crackers for decades with 226 who always left their hands alone. There was no difference in the osteoarthritis between the two groups. But there are reasons to stop . The same study found that knuckle crackers have weaker grip strength and more hand swelling.

8. What about those e-mails about açai pills for weight loss. Is there anything to them?

Answer: No. There's no proof that supplements made with açai help with weight loss or have any other benefits. The berry is very high in antioxidants and it has some heart-healthy fats, but more research is needed before it can claim to fight cancer or lower cholesterol.

9. Do you really have to stop drinking while on antibiotics?

Answer: It's best to keep the bottle shut while you're on antibiotics. You can't predict how your body will react. Alcohol can mess a lot of stuff in your body. With some antibiotics, even a sip of alcohol can lead to, nausea, abdominal cramps, headache, low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, and shortness of breath.

10. Do lipsticks have lead and cause cancer?

Answer: An study of 10 different lipsticks found very low levels of lead, but it's not dangerous.

11. Are dental fillings that contain mercury dangerous?

Answer: Probably not. These dental fillings have a mix of mercury, silver, tin, and other metals. They release tiny amounts of mercury when they are put in or removed, as well as when a person chews.

PARAMORE'S HAYLEY WILLIAMS BLOGS ABOUT BEING THE ONLY GIRL IN THE BAND...PLUS VIDEO OF A HAYLEY STALKER FINDING HER HOUSE! [2010-08-04 01:00:00]

Paramore's Hayley Williams blogged about being the only girl in the band, among other things.

She wrote: "So what's up everybody? Right now, I'm sitting in a trailer home which is currently doubling as our dressing room. The boys just finished doing P90X. Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? Anyways, I was watching them do all these intense moves that are meant to help them achieve the perfect six pack, all shirtless and sweat. Then I got to thinking how many girls and boys might wish they were in my shoes. You know, just watching a bunch of half-dressed sweaty guys get buff. I mean, to me this is just a normal day. Besides, I just think it's funny."

"In every interview we've ever done, I get asked the question, 'What's it like being the only girl in the band?' or some other version of it. It's not that it's annoying, it's just that I wonder what's so fascinating about it. (Other than watching the guys do P90X, right?) But I guess, sadly enough, I do recognize that it's still pretty rare to see a girl fronting a band and commanding a stage. Have you ever wondered why it's so difficult for girls to get into scene and be taken seriously? I have."

"When we started touring, there were next to no young women fronting bands like ours. And as lonely as that felt sometimes, I loved the challenge. I looked up to anyone who could control a crowd and not feel sorry about it. Usually those people were men who were twice my age. So, when we took the stage I'd forget about the fact that I was 16 and forget that I was one of the only girls in the scene. I would try and win over as many people as I could for the greater good of Paramore, all in the short 25 minutes we got to play. In many cases, this worked. Maybe it helped that I looked like a teenage boy?"

"There were, however, the odd nights where pretty much all I was good for was a sounding board for various meatheads who's chivalry peaked at 'Take off your top!'. At 16 years old, I thought they must be crazy anyways cause well, yes, I looked like a teenage boy. I stood my ground and never walked off any of those stages. Never let nobody get the best of me. Cause I knew that I wanted to do something important. Mainly, make it in a world where people aren't supposed to make it. It's supposed to be tough but I never cared and neither did the guys."

"And here we are 5 years later. We're playing a whole hour longer than we did when we started, and the crowds are a lot bigger. I can't be too sure but I think this is what they call 'making it.' Nah, you know, I am absolutely sure. Why? Because I'll never forget where we came from. I'll never forget how it was lonely. How it was a challenge. How I loved playing the game and winning every night. The women who have earned this dream aren't much different than I am. And maybe not that different from you either. We all want to make it in a world where people aren't actually supposed to make it. Check back later cause I'll be posting all the time. I like to type. Hayley"

HIGHLIGHTS FROM LADY GAGA'S VANITY FAIR INTERVIEW...USING COCAINE....PLUS, GAGA ADMITS SHE'S CELIBATE FOR THE SAKE OF HER CREATIVITY [2010-08-03 01:00:00]

On being able to trust people:

"I'm drawn to bad romances. And my song 'Bad Romance' is about whether I go after those sort of relationships or if they find me. I'm quite celibate now; I don't really get time to meet anyone."

On her experience with drugs:

"I'm terrified of heroin, but I do a little cocaine on occasion. And when I say occasional, I mean a couple of times a year."

On going "completely mental":

"All I will say is I hit rock bottom, and it was enough to send a person over the edge. My mother knew the truth about that day, and she screamed so loud on the other end of the phone, I'll never forget it."

On her fans wanting to be like her:

"I do not want my fans to ever emulate that or be that way. I don't want my fans to think they have to be bad to be great. What happened to me is in the past. It was a low point, and it led to disaster."

FOX SAYS 'IDOL' JUDGES WILL BE IN PLACE BY MID-SEPTEMBER [2010-08-03 01:00:00]

At a session for the TV critics' press tour, Fox chairman Peter Rice would NOT confirm any of the buzz about possible replacement candidates for Ellen DeGeneres and Simon Cowell on "American Idol".

And he refused to confirm that Kara DioGuardi is gone, that Randy Jackson is staying and that Nigel Lythgoe is returning as a producer.

The exec said, "There's been tremendous speculation, some accurate and some wildly inaccurate".

But "I'm not going to get into the fishbowl of a blow-by-blow account of that casting. We start auditions with the judges in mid-September and certainly plan to have judges in place by then."

He says we're all wrong to think of replacing the judges with ones who are identical to the two who are leaving. And the show succeeds based on contestants and the "alchemy and relationships of the judging panel."

SLEEPING IN IMPROVES YOUR PERFORMANCE... (AT WORK) [2010-08-03 01:00:00]

People who spend their weekends relaxing and sleeping a majority of Sunday have a better performance week at work, than those who chose to party all weekend and receive less sleep.

As for folks who received 10 hours of sleep for two nights and then were restricted to only 4 hours of sleep for 5 nights, their performances of everyday assessments were poor.

However, after one night of restored sleep, their functions were back to normal.

For people who get less than 5 hours of sleep a night are at a higher risk for heart attacks, strokes, and angina attacks.

LOW CARB OR LOW-FAT DIET?....IT'S A TIE, IN TERMS OF LONG-TERM WEIGHT LOSS [2010-08-03 01:00:00]

If you're overweight, should you cut carbs or fat?

A new two-year study suggests that it may not matter in the long run: When combined with extensive guidance about eating and exercise, people lost about the same amount of weight whether they were on an Atkins-style, low-carbohydrate diet or a traditional low-fat diet.

There are some caveats.

People in both groups only lost an average of about 7 percent of their weight two years after beginning their diet, although that added up because they were typically very overweight.

And those who were on the low-carb diet did get one extra benefit: Their blood pressure and levels of "good" cholesterol improved a bit more than those who cut down on fat.

THE 10 RISKIEST FOODS IN AMERICA [2010-08-03 01:00:00]

1. Leafy greens

Greens can be coated in disease-causing germs. There have been 363 separate outbreaks linked to leafy greens. That makes them No. 1 on the top 10 list of the riskiest FDA-regulated foods. Iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce, leaf lettuce, butter lettuce, baby leaf lettuce, escarole, endive, spring mix, spinach, cabbage, kale, arugula or chard made up for 24 percent of the outbreaks. Almost 14,000 people got sick.

2. Eggs

Eggs have been linked to 352 outbreaks. Most illnesses from eggs are associated with salmonella. Eggs made over 11,000 people sick from 1990 to 2006. Salmonella lives in the intestinal tracts of animals and birds. It's transmitted to humans when animal feces contaminate a food like eggs.

3. Tuna

Tuna has been responsible for 268 outbreaks and over 2,000 cases of foodborne illness. Fresh fish decay quickly after being caught. If it's stored improperly, it starts to release natural toxins that are dangerous for humans. Symptoms of tuna poisoning can include skin flushing, headaches, abdominal cramps, nausea, diarrhea, palpitations and loss of vision.

4. Oysters

Contaminated oysters have been linked to 132 outbreaks, with over 3,000 cases of illness. Illnesses from oysters happen from two sources: norovirus and vibrio. Oysters can be harvested from waters contaminated with norovirus. When they're served raw or undercooked, those oysters can cause an inflammation of the stomach and small or large intestines. Vibrio can cause fever and chills, septic shock and blistering skin lesions.

5. Potatoes

Potatoes were linked to 108 outbreaks, with almost 4,000 people sick since 1990. Salmonella is the most common illness. The salmonella could get into the potatoes through cross-contamination from raw or cooked ingredients or from raw meat or poultry.

6. Cheese

Cheese has been linked to 83 outbreaks with almost 3,000 cases since 1990. Salmonella is the most common illness. Cheese can get contaminated during production or processing.

7. Ice cream

Ice cream can carry a load of dangerous bacteria. It has been linked to 74 outbreaks involving almost 3,000 illness from things like salmonella and staphylcoccus.

8. Tomatoes

Tomatoes have caused at least 31 outbreaks and gotten over 3,000 people sick since 1990. The most common illness is salmonella. Salmonella can get into tomato plants through the roots or flowers.

9. Sprouts

Sprouts have caused 31 outbreaks involving 2,022 people. Salmonella and E. coli are the biggest illnesses. Elderly, young children and people with weak immune systems shouldn't eat raw sprouts. The biggest source of sprout contamination is the seeds that are used to grow the sprouts. Seeds can get contaminated in the field or during storage.

10. Berries

Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and other berry products have caused 25 outbreaks and gotten over 3,000 people sick since 1990. Symptoms can include severe diarrhea, dehydration and stomach cramps.

(WHATTA DEAL!)... CHARLIE SHEEN: BEAT YOUR WIFE (ALLEGEDLY), SKIP JAIL, GO DIRECTLY TO REHAB... [2010-08-03 01:00:00]

Charlie Sheen's lawyer got him the deal of a lifetime.

The 'Two and a Half Men' star will not be spending any time behind bars -- instead, he'll be spending 30 days in rehab (at Promises rehab center in Malibu, Calif).

Sheen pled guilty in an Aspen, Colo. court yesterday on a misdemeanor assault charge stemming from a Christmas Day 2009 incident with his wife, Brooke Mueller.

He was sentenced to 30 days in rehab, 36 hours of anger management classes, and 30 days of probation. As part of his plea deal with prosecutors, more serious charges -- felony menacing and criminal mischief -- were dropped.

(Sheen was reportedly set to spend 30 days in jail back in June before negotiations broke down.)

He has 30 days to report to Promises; in the meantime, production on season eight of "Two and a Half Men" is set to begin today.

FLASHBACK: Sheen spent some time at an undisclosed rehab in March for "preventative measures."

At that time, he pled not guilty to menacing, criminal mischief and assault charges after an argument with his wife.

MORE JUICY BITS FROM THE ANGELINA BIO [2010-08-03 01:00:00]

Andrew Morton’s unauthorized biography of Angelina Jolie includes some more, juicy tidbits:

* She was almost named Shiloh: That was dad Jon Voight’s choice, and when she named her own daughter that years later, it signified a thaw in their famously frosty relationship.

* Her mom pushed her career…from infanthood: Marcheline Bertrand chose the middle names “Jolie” for her daughter and “Haven” for her son because she assumed they would drop their last name when they went into showbiz. She also went behind Angie’s back to call agents and inform them her daughter was the offspring of Jon Voight.
* She had a live-in boyfriend…: …at age 14.
* She had dramatic thoughts of suicide: One of her ideas was to take a hit out on herself. Fortunately, she took drum lessons instead—and her former teacher says, “I sincerely believe the drums helped save her life”. (MORE ON THIS BELOW.)
* She broke Mick Jagger’s heart: After Angelina danced in a Rolling Stones video, the married (with a fourth child on the way) Jagger left her numerous phone messages (because her ever-engineering mother had given Jagger Angelina's number).

MORE: Angelina Jolie Once Hired Assassin - To Kill Herself!

Biographer Andrew Morton claims that Angelina once hired an assassin -- to murder herself.

"She went through a bit of a depression, suicidal thoughts and on one occasion, she said she hired a hitman and she was going to pay by installments.

Morton also went into detail about Angelina 's admitted 'cutting', in which she would blow off steam by taking a sharp knife to various body parts.

“We’re talking about cutting of the... neck, cutting of the thighs, cutting of the breast, with a knife... And that’s a sense of a release and for most of us, it’s weird but for someone like Angelina, who’s in this psychological trauma, it’s a release.”

(WE TOLD 'YA SO!)... ALI FEDOTOWSKY CHOOSES....ROBERTO, ON 'THE BACHELORETTE' [2010-08-03 01:00:00]

(As we reported here, last month!)...

Ali Fedotowsky "The Bachelorette" gave her final rose to Roberto, a 26-year-old insurance agent (and former minor league baseball player). And she got an engagement ring in return.

Ali let Chris L. go the day before, and told Roberto, "I love you so much. I really do."

Roberto got down on one knee, and replied: "I love you, I want to grow old with you. I want to have a beautiful, beautiful family [with you], I want to share my life with you. Share your life with me. Be my wife," Ali, Fedotowsky - will you marry me?"

She squelaed, "Yes!"

(Before the final dates or the final rose ceremony even took place, Ali took Chris L. aside and let the 33-year-old landscaper from Dennis, Mass., go.)

Despite losing a girl he had hinted he planned to propose to.... (he asked Ali's dad for her hand in marriage earlier in the episode), Chris said Ali impressed him by letting him go so kindly.

KATY PERRY OPENS UP ON HER RELIGIOUS UPBRINGING [2010-08-03 01:00:00]

Katy Perry told Rolling Stone that her Christian parents spoke in tongues when she was growing up.

She said: "Speaking in tongues is as normal to me as 'Pass the salt.' It's a secret, direct prayer language to God. That's their gift."

Katy also explained why she couldn't tell her parents she felt "lucky" have met her fiancé, Russell Brand.

She said: "I wasn't able to say I was lucky because my mother would rather us say that we were blessed, and she also didn't like that lucky sounded like Lucifer. I also wasn't allowed to eat Lucky Charms, but I think that was the sugar. I think my mom lied to me about that one."

NICK JONAS AND JORDAN SPARKS CHAIRING A RONALD REAGAN YOUTH GROUP [2010-08-03 01:00:00]

Nick Jonas and Jordin Sparks weren't even alive when Ronald Reagan was president, but they are still big Reagan fans. Nick and Jordin are leading a committee of 35 young people who have been touched by the 40th president of the US.

The National Youth Leadership Committee of the Ronald Reagan Centennial Celebration was created to commemorate Reagan's 100th birthday on February 6th.

Nick Jonas said: "My father and my family were supporters of Reagan. I'm proud to be a part of this. It's amazing."

Jordin Sparks said: "It has been really cool to tell my friends I'm a part of this. A good many of my friends have positive things to say about him."

The group also includes athletes, entertainers and student leaders who are under 25. The committee members have 18 Olympic medals, 2 platinum records and a Miss USA crown. There are also people on the committee who are sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, professional football players and a student from Illinois' Eureka College, where Reagan was a student in 1932.

THE 15 WORST TYPES OF PEOPLE IN AMERICA [2010-08-03 01:00:00]

The list is by no means an end all, but rather something to start the conversation....

15. Celebrities Outspoken About Political/Religious Beliefs

Look, you're a monkey who gets paid rather handsomely to entertain me. So I'd appreciate if you toned down all the Tea Party, Kabbalah, and Scientology B.S. and stick to performing.

14. Bluetooth Addicts

The only times these should be worn are while driving (since it's a law in some states) and if you are a top-halved paraplegic who can't hold a phone with your foot. Anything else is unacceptable and self-indulgent.

13. Guidos

Clad in nothing but self-tanner, armed with a generous serving of rigatoni a la steroids (as evident by the violent stretch marks), and often heard quoting Pauly Walnuts, Guidos pollute the Tri-State area like dead wildlife pollutes the Gulf. Unmercifully.

12. White Rappers

Eminem, and maybe a handful of others, notwithstanding, most of these idiots aren't worth the two seconds it took to write/read this.

11. People of Reality TV Fame

'Jersey Shore', anyone?

10. People Who Hand Out Flyers

Handing out a flyer is basically saying, "Here, you, throw this away." But even worse people than the flyer pushers are talentless rappers who try to peddle their CDs on the corners of heavily populated streets.

9. Hipsters

Otherwise known as society's dandruff, hipsters take pride in giving off the vibe that they don't care about anything. That makes sense because how else could you possibly explain skinny jeans? You know you have come in contact with a hipster if you are standing next to a frumpy faced try-hard, wearing a chip on his underdeveloped shoulders, trendy glasses without a prescription, and horrific taste in clothes.

8. Feminists

What more could you blood-lusting, joy-swilling broads possibly want from us? In case you have been too caught up in "the cause" to notice, women already have rights, and they have been able to obtain highly regarded jobs and public offices by way of climbing/screwing? every rung on the corporate ladder. Did you ever stop and think that maybe, just maybe, men wouldn't be such jerks/a--holes to you if you took a minute and familiarized yourself with a bar of soap? On behalf of men the world over, take all your negativity, your unkempt twits, and your affinity for hemp accessories elsewhere.

7. Terrorists

It is a well-known fact that the United States, Canada and just about every other nation in the world is and always will be better than that outhouse you call your homeland. We know you're jealous that we get to stare at cleavage in public, have electricity, and eat all the pork we want, but violence towards us isn't the answer. Turning the guns on yourselves or throwing a suicide bomb party with each other... that's the answer.

6. Homeless People Who are Perfectly Sane

Homelessness + Sanity = Laziness exemplified. I understand the economy is still in the tank and desirable employment is scarce, but if you have your wits about you and you can't secure a job washing cars, flipping burgers, or at the very least trafficking drugs, you really aren't trying.

5. Activists/Social Extremists

Not a month passes without seeing some radical moron (See: Al Sharpton) in the news pontificating about something that doesn't even concern him. Always sticking their their nose in someone else's business, crying racism at every chance they get...

4. Virgins

I get the whole "kids should be a virgins when they are eight years old" phenomenon but if you are in your mid-twenties and you're still denying your genitals their God-given right to pursue happiness, then you should probably become the victim of a heinous, and strictly genital-related, accident.

3. Stubborn Racists

The Civil War was 150 years ago.

2. Obese People Who Take Public Transportation

I can generally tolerate, and even pretend to like, most fat people. But, when I get stuck next to some slob on an airplane, whose gut needs a seatbelt extension, and two-thirds of the seat I already occupy, my tolerance for their repulsive excess and excuses about a sluggish thyroid officially runs its course.

1. Child Molesters/Rapists

I don't want to sound like an After-School Special, but if anyone ever feels the need to rape a child, a women, or even a full-grown man (for you husky bitches out there), call a hotline, talk to a trained professional, or check out the last couple pages of Kurt Cobain's biography. I hear it's inspirational.

LATE UPDATE: LINDSAY LOHAN RELEASED FROM JAIL [2010-08-02 01:00:00]

Lindsay Lohan was released from jail early today and was expected to go straight to rehab facility.

The 24-year-old troubled actress served 13 days of her 90-day sentence. She had been in jail since July 20 after violating her probation in two DUI cases.

Lohan will not be going to rehab on the beach (at Morningside Recovery), but to another rehab facility in the West Los Angeles area--because the Judge was worried that the actress might have access to drugs from the public.

TMZ.com reported that Lohan will check in to a rehab program at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

About two dozen members of the media were at the jail in Lynwood waiting to see if Lohan would be released.

(Lohan was sentenced to serve time after violating her probation. She was supposed to make weekly appearances at an alcohol education program following two DUI cases.)

Lohan will have served less than two weeks of her 90-day sentence. Because she is a nonviolent offender serving time on a misdemeanor, officials said she would likely serve only a fraction of her sentence due to jail overcrowding.

MORE JUICY DIRT 'ANERGLINA' BOOK... AND A 'SPIKED' MOUNTAIN DEW BOTTLE [2010-08-02 01:00:00]

"Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography" is in bookstores now. We have a few more claims from celeb-bio author Andrew Morton.

The Mountain Dew incident: The biography reports that Angelina Jolie once peed into an empty Mountain Dew bottle, chilled it in the refrigerator and gave the "beverage" to the then-mistress of her father, Jon Voight.

Jolie's hookup with Leonardo DiCaprio: Apparently Jolie and DiCaprio were set up by their agents in 1998 and semi-hooked up once, allegedly taking a shower together. Ultimately, though, they didn't have any sexual chemistry.

The Billy Bob tattoo: The tat that Jolie once had scrawled on her nether regions in honor of now-ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton was written in Helvetica font.

The Brangelina relationship: Morton's book repeats the allegation that Angelina stole Brad Pitt from then-wife Jennifer Aniston, adding that she used adopted son Maddox as "bait."

(WOULD YOU BELIEVE)... AN MTV REALITY SHOW CAUSED A CRIME WAVE [2010-08-02 01:00:00]

MTV's "Laguna Beach" contributed to a rise in crime in the real Laguna Beach.

Researchers from Occidental College analyzed crime statistics from 2004 to 2006, when the reality series was on the air. The researchers found that non-residential burglaries and rapes posted steady increases every year the show was on the air.

NOTE: The same crime increases didn't rise in nearby Dana Point, which is similar to Laguna Beach in nearly every demographic.

The "Laguna Beach effect" came out to an additional 50 burglaries every month and an extra rape about every three months.

The rise is "statistically significant. Residents have to wonder if they should have kept their town's doors closed when MTV came calling."

Now, some folks are fighting back with "Jersey Doesn't Stink" - a campaign to clean up the "Dirty Jersey" stereotype.

Jerseydoesntstink.com features videos of New Jerseyans standing up for their state; form letters protesting Jersey Shore, Real Housewives of New Jersey, and a "digital fight kit" that includes T-shirt iron-ons, fliers, and picket signs that read, "We Smell Better Than You Think."

(THEY GROW UP SO FAST)... ZAC EFRON & PALS BLOW $2,000 ON VODKA AND LAP DANCES [2010-07-28 01:00:00]

Dreamie Zac Efron is a fan of dancing... the kind, not seen during his 'High School Musical' days.

Sources say Zac and two of his pals spent more than $2,000 on lap dancers and vodka at a top New York strip club.

He showed up at Flashdancers Gentlemen's Club on Broadway on Sunday night and stayed until 3 a.m., just hours before the New York premiere of his new family-friendly flick, "Charlie St. Cloud."

22 year-old Efron, another male friend and his former "High School Musical" castmate Corbin Bleu, enjoyed the company of three pretty brunette dancers.

A spy tells the NY Post, "Zac came in Sunday night around midnight with Corbin and one other male friend, who paid for everything. They were seated in the VIP lounge behind the main stage. There was only a rail between them and the girls who were dancing.

"They ordered one bottle of Belvedere vodka and were enthralled with the dancers. They were interacting a lot with the girls and reaching out and showering money on them. There were three girls who Zac and his friends particularly liked and they asked to do personal dances at their table."

"The girls were all slim pretty brunettes, a bit like Zac's girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens. They were two Americans, called Shannon and Brandi, and a gorgeous Brazilian called Raquel.

"Zac and the boys had a great time and left around 3 a.m. Monday morning."

FOLLOW-UP RUMOR: KARA DIOGUARDI OUT AS 'AMERICAN IDOL' JUDGE [2010-07-28 01:00:00]

Nigel Lythgoe is returning as executive producer of 'American Idol', and there may be only three judges at the table.

Sources say Nigel will take one of the seats himself, with the other two going to Randy Jackson and Ellen DeGeneres.
