Paul Walker age 35 from the Fast and the Furious movies, met his future wife to be Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell age 19, when she was 16 [which is also the age difference between them]. If you are thinking this sounds a bit off...I totally think so too. Walker took a chance like all older men who date women under 18...the liability and status of being a creepy old pedophile.

Yay! I'm slutty and ready to party! Is this an old picture of Drew from 1999? Unfortunately it isn't. Can you believe that she just got her tongue pierced? Drew said:

"They do it and you're like, 'Oh my God, why would I ever think twice about not doing this; this didn't hurt at all.' And then the guy was like, 'What I didn't tell you is that for, like, two weeks, it's just going to be a little uncomfortable. I couldn't eat, couldn't drink for two weeks - great diet in a weird way. I got it and then I've been single ever since... I did it for myself. I always wanted to get one."

On a Los Angeles radio show, Christian Bale apologized for his rant at director of photography Shane Hurlbut. He said that he acted like a "punk" and that he was channeling too much of his character. Hurlbut and Bale reconciled and continued to work together for a month after the incident. If you missed it, you can watch him go ballistic here.

Brett Michaels told UsMagazine that should John Mayer want out then Brett Michaels would be more than happy to rock her world. Brett said:

" She is creative and seems to be on top of her business as well.

Most importantly, she seems like someone you could take home to meet mom -- yet, behind closed tour bus doors, she could rock your world.

I am really just stating the facts as I see them."

Do you think Jennifer Aniston could make an honest man out of Brett?

Read the book from the writers that started it all and the impetus behind the movie He's Just Not That Into You opening on February 6th. I'll be there with my Bff. Why? Because back in the early 2000's when Sex and The City was cranking out new episodes and Miranda boldly walked up to two women to mutter the cold hard truth, "He's Just Not That into You," the book was a result of that single episode where Miranda found enlightenment in that one phrase. I also bought a crapload of these books that Christmas and gave them out to all my girl friends.

Excerpt from 'He's Just Not That Into You'

Because if he likes you, trust me, he will ask you out

Many women have said to me, "Greg, men run the world." Wow. That makes us sound pretty capable. So tell me, why would you think we could be incapable of something as simple as picking up the phone and asking you out? You seem to think at times that we're "too shy" or we "just got out of something." Let me remind you: Men find it very satisfying to get what they want. (Particularly after a difficult day of running the world.) If we want you, we will find you. If you don't think you gave him enough time to notice you, take the time it took you to notice him and divide it by half.

Now you begin the life-changing experience of reading our book. We have put the stories we have heard and questions we've been asked in a simple question-and-answer format. If you're lucky, you'll read the following questions and know what they are: Excuses that women have made for their unsatisfying situations. If you're not so lucky, we've also included handy titles to clue you in.

The "Maybe He Doesn't Want to Ruin the Friendship" Excuse

Dear Greg,

I'm so disappointed. I have this friend that I've known platonically for about ten years. He lives in a different city and recently he was in town for work, so we met for dinner. All of a sudden it felt like we were on a date. He was completely flirting with me. He even said to me, as he was checking me out, "So, what, you're working the whole 'model thing' now?" (That's flirting, right?) We both agreed that we should get together again soon. Well, Greg, I'm disappointed because it's been two weeks and he hasn't called me. Can I call him? He might be nervous about turning the friendship into romance. Can't I give him a nudge now? Isn't that what friends are for?

Jodi

Dear Friendly Girl,

Two weeks is two weeks, except when it's ten years and two weeks. That's how long ago he decided whether or not he could date a model or a girl who looks like one. Can you be a pal and give him a nudge? Nudge away, friendster — but watch how fast that nudge doesn't get a return phone call. And if your dinner/date did feel different to him, it's been two weeks and he's had time to think about it and decide he's just not that into you. Here's the truth: Guys don't mind messing up a friendship if it could lead to sex, whether it be a "(expletive) buddy" situation or a meaningful romance. Go find someone that lives in your zip code who will be rocked to the core by your deep conversation and model looks.

I hate to tell you, but that whole "I don't want to ruin the friendship" excuse is a racket. It works so well because it seems so wise. Sex could mess up a friendship. Unfortunately, in the entire history of mankind, that excuse has never ever been used by someone who actually means it. If we're really excited about someone, we can't stop ourselves — we want more. If we're friends with someone and attracted to them, we're going to want to take it further. And please, don't tell me he's just "scared." The only thing he's scared of — and I say this with a lot of love — is how not attracted to you he is.

The "Maybe He's Intimidated by Me" Excuse

Dear Greg,

I have a crush on my gardener. He's been potting the plants on my patio. It was hot, I saw him without his shirt on, he was hot, and now I'm hot for him. I brought out some beers and we talked. I think he wants to ask me out but is afraid, because he is my hired man. In this situation, can't I ask him out?

Cherie

Dear My Secret Garden,

He's capable of asking you out. Haven't you ever seen a porno? Hope he gets there before the pizza guy. But seriously, if he didn't pick up the vibe after the beer garden, it has nothing to do with you being his big boss lady. Time to stop and smell the bad news: He's just not that into you.

Let me say it again, sexual harassment rules and workplace memos notwithstanding, a guy will ask out a woman of higher status if he's into her. He might need a little more encouragement than normal, I'll give you that. You might have to lead Johnny the Office Boy or Phillipe the Exterminator to water, but you better not help him ask you out. Once again, ladies, a wink and a smile will do it.

By the way, why are you dating the exterminator?

Just kidding, he's a good guy.

The "Maybe He Wants to Take It Slow" Excuse

Dear Greg,

There's this guy who calls me all the time. He's recently divorced, and in AA. We got back in touch recently, had lots of phone calls, and then hung out twice in one week and it was real cool. No flirting or making out or anything, but fun. Since then, he calls me all the time but doesn't ever suggest we see each other in person again. It's like he got scared or something. I would understand if because of the divorce/alcoholic/starting-a-whole-new-life stuff he wanted to take things slow. But he still calls me all the time to have long heart-to-heart talks. What the hell should I do with this guy?

Jen

Dear Pillow Talk,

Sadly, not wanting to see you in person is massive as far as dating obstacles go. And as far as the recently divorced/newly sober/starting-a-new-life parts, blah blah blah, I'm getting sleepy, it's hot, I'm going down for a nap. When I wake up from that nap I'll probably thrill to the news that your friend is taking control of his life. You, however, will still not be going on a date, because despite all your excuses for him, he's still not asking you out. Now, if you're a person who enjoys a slightly satisfying phone relationship, talk on! But at this point it seems like he's just not that into you. Be his friend if you're at all interested on that level, but move your romantic inclinations onto a more suitable future husband.

If a guy truly likes you, but for personal reasons he needs to take things slow, he will let you know that immediately. He won't keep you guessing, because he'll want to make sure you don't get frustrated and go away.

The "But He Gave Me His Number" Excuse

Dear Greg,

I met a really cute guy at a bar this week. He gave me his number and told me to give him a call sometime. I thought that was kind of cool, that he gave me control of the situation like that. I can call him, right?

Lauren

Dear Control Freak,

Did he give you control, or did he just get you to do the heavy lifting? What he just did was a magic trick: It seems like he gave you control, but really he now gets to decide if he wants to go out with you — or even return your call. Why don't you take Copperfield's number, roll it in a newspaper, pour milk in it, and make it disappear.

"Give me a call." "E-mail me." "Tell Joey we should all hang out sometime." Don't let him trick you into asking him out. When men want you, they do the work. I know it sounds old school, but when men like women, they ask them out.

The "Maybe He Forgot to Remember Me" Excuse

Dear Greg,

Okay, Greg. Listen to this one: I was at a conference for work and met a guy from another branch of my company. We hit it off immediately. He was just about to ask for my number, I swear, when the Big Blackout of 2003 happened. In the mayhem, I didn't get to give him my number. I think the Big Blackout of 2003 is a good enough excuse to call him, don't you think? It's only common courtesy for me to check up on him, right? If I don't call, he's probably going to be all sad thinking that I'm just not that into him.

Judy

Dear Judy Blackout,

The city blacked out. He didn't. You said you work for different branches of the same company. Certainly he wouldn't have to break a sweat to scroll through the company staff roster or interoffice e-mail listing to find you. And should he not be as resourceful as you are...I imagine that he has a mother, sister, or female friend that could show him how, if he was really interested.

P.S.: Shame on you for using an eastern seaboard disaster as an excuse to call a guy up.

Have faith. You made an impression. Leave it at that. If he likes you, he'll still remember you after the tsunami, flood, or Red Sox loss. If he doesn't, he's not worth your time. Know why? You are great. (Now, don't get cocky.)

The "Maybe I Don't Want to Play Games" Excuse

Dear Greg,

This is dumb. I know you're not supposed to call guys, but I call guys all the time because I don't care! I don't want to play games. I do whatever I want! I've called guys tons of times. You're such a square, Greg. Why do you think we can't call guys and ask them out?

Nikki

Dear Nikki,

Because we don't like it. Okay, some guys might like it, but they're just lazy. And who wants to go out with Lazy Guy? It's that simple. I didn't make the rules and I might not even agree with them. Please don't be mad at me, Nikki. I'm not advocating that women go back to the Stone Age. I just think you might want to be realistic in how capable you are of changing the primordial impulses that drive all of human nature.

Or maybe you're the chosen one.

Men, for the most part, like to pursue women. We like not knowing if we can catch you. We feel rewarded when we do. Especially when the chase is a long one. We know there was a sexual revolution. (We loved it.) We know women are capable of running governments, heading multinational corporations, and raising loving children — sometimes all at the same time. That, however, doesn't make men different.

IT'S SO SIMPLE

Imagine right now that I'm leaping up and down and shaking my fist at the sky. I'm on my knees pleading with you. I'm saying this in a loud voice: "Please, if you can trust one thing I say in this book, let it be this: When it comes to men, deal with us as we are, not how you'd like us to be." I know it's an infuriating concept — that men like to chase and you have to let us chase you. I know. It's insulting. It's frustrating. It's unfortunately the truth. My belief is that if you have to be the aggressor, if you have to pursue, if you have to do the asking out, nine times out of ten, he's just not that into you. (And we want you to believe you're one of the nine, ladies!) I can't say it loud enough: You, the superfox reading this book, are worth asking out.

HERE'S WHY THIS ONE IS HARD, by Liz

Well, it's obvious. Are you telling us that we have to just sit around and wait? I don't know about you, but I find that infuriating. I was brought up to believe that hard work and good planning are the keys to making your dreams come true. I spent my life making things happen for myself. I worked hard for my career, and was quite aggressive about it. I called people, made appointments, asked for favors. I took action. But now Greg is telling us that in this situation, we are supposed to do absolutely nothing. The guys get to pick. We're just supposed to put on our little dresses and do our hair and bat our eyes and hope they choose us. Why don't you just tie my corset too tight so I can faint in front of some man who'll scoop me out of the way just before the horse-drawn carriage runs over me? That'll get his attention.

Really, in this day and age, the hardest thing to do for many women, particularly me, is nothing. We like to scheme, make phone calls, have a plan. And I'm talking about more than just making sure our hair doesn't frizz. Most women who date, I would guess, don't have men throwing themselves at them every night of the week. Sometimes there's a long stretch during which nobody's asking us out. So when we see a guy that we feel might be a romantic possibility, it's even harder for us to take a backseat. That opportunity might not come back again for a long time.

But guess what: My way? Has sucked. Hasn't worked at all. I've never had a successful relationship with a guy that I've pursued. I'm sure there are many stories out there to the contrary. But for me, those guys end up getting back together with their ex-girlfriend, needing to take some time for themselves, or going out of town for business. Usually it doesn't even get that far. They usually just don't ever return my phone call. And let me tell you, that didn't make me feel very in control of anything.

Since I've been implementing Greg's handy-dandy "he's just not that into you" philosophy, I've been feeling surprisingly more powerful. Because if the men are asking you out, if the men have to get your attention, then you, in fact, are the one in control. There's no scheming and plotting. And there is something great about knowing that my only job is to be as happy as I can be about my life, and feel as good as I can about myself, and to lead as full and eventful a life as I can, so that it doesn't ever feel like I'm just waiting around for some guy to ask me out. And most importantly, it's good for us all to remember that we don't need to scheme and plot and beg to get someone to ask us out. We're fantastic.

THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE, by Greg

One night I was drinking in a bar and flirting with the bartender. I asked for her number. She said, "I don't give out my phone number because guys rarely call me when they say they're going to. My name is Lindsey Adams, and if you want to call me, find my phone number." Which I did — the very next day. Do you know how many Lindsey Adams there are in the phone book of a major city? Let's just say I talked to about eight or nine before I found mine.

An actor we work with met a girl while he was making a public appearance on an aircraft carrier. He lost track of her in about ten minutes. And yet, because he was so smitten, he somehow managed to track her down in the army, and they are now married.

GREG, I GET IT! By Leslie, age 29

Greg! I get it. I went to this party and I met this guy. We started talking immediately by ourselves, off in a corner. He asked if I was single and seemed pleased when I said I was. Whenever we split up to talk to other people, or to get drinks or whatever, he always kept his eye on me. It was really cool. I was all excited and fluttery with that "Oh my God, I think I just met someone!" feeling. He didn't ask for my number, but we know lots of people in common, so I thought he was just playing it cool. He never called me! And you know what? Normally I would call our mutual friends and start fishing and trying to figure out what happened and maybe try to find another way to see him again. But instead, I'm just going to move on! Who cares what his deal is. He's not asking me out, so why should I start obsessing over him? I'm just going to go out tonight and try to meet someone else.

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE GREG

We did an incredibly unscientific poll where we polled twenty of our male friends (ranging from ages twenty-six to forty-five), who are in serious long-term relationships. Not one of their relationships started with the woman asking them out first. One guy even said that if she had, "It would have spoiled all the fun."

What You Should Have Learned in This Chapter

• An excuse is a polite rejection. Men are not afraid of "ruining the friendship."

• Don't get tricked into asking him out. If he likes you, he'll do the asking.

• If you can find him, then he can find you. If he wants to find you, he will.

• Just because you like to lead doesn't mean he wants to dance. Some traditions are born of nature and last through time for a reason.

• "Hey, let's meet at so-and-so's party/any bar/friend's house" is not a date. Even if you live in New York.

• Men don't forget how much they like you. So put down the phone.

• You are good enough to be asked out.

P.S.: You just did a workbook exercise about a guy who hasn't even extended to you the energy of a phone call. Why would you want to chase that down?

Not even a month after Phelps issued an apology for a picture showing the Olympic swimmer smoking from a bong, Kellogg has dropped Phelps as a sponsorship. Phelps was featured on the Cover of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes. The Michigan company said that Phelps' action is "not consistent with the image of Kellogg." His contract expires at the end of the month. Phelps should have never confirmed it was him in the photo.

I finally watched The Wrestler, one of the most talked about films of the year, directed by Darren Aronofsky. The film is about a professional wrestler Randy "The Ram" [Mickey Rourke] who's wrestling career and health is past his prime. Marisa Tomei plays an aged stripper and friend of Randy "The Ram." I was able to find pictures of Marisa Tomei topless. In the film she is covered in tattoos and has nipple rings. Here is an interview from premiere.com where she discusses how she prepared for the role of a stripper and about those nipple rings:

Could you talk about your research and talking to strippers?

I talked to a bunch of different girls and a bunch of different dancers. It wasn't like I sat and had big interviews with them or anything; we just went out, had some drinks, went to a bunch of clubs, watched a lot of dances, got some dances, brought some guy friends with me, brought some girl friends with me… It's like anything, any subculture. You get in there, and it's all individuals.

You had a lot to do with the costuming and the design of her clothes and the tattoos.

[There were] so many layers of having to find just the right thing because the script called for certain points where the Ram has to put money in my G-string, so I definitely had to be wearing a G-string -- I couldn't be wearing boy shorts. And I didn't really want to be topless in every single dance number because you wouldn't be anyway, because you start off with your bra on and even your little dress on sometimes, so I didn't see why I needed to do that, but there were certain things called for in the plot, and then I wanted to feel comfortable as her and I wanted it to be flattering…

The nipple rings were the most fun to settle on, actually.

Was that your idea or was that in the script?

No, that was my idea… They were clip-on. They were stuck on with eyelash glue and then kind of pinched on. It hurt a little bit.

And the tattoos, were those your idea too?

I don't remember. Darren and I definitely talked about it and at some point landed on that he wanted [her] to have a little bit of a harder look. He sent me a bunch of Suicide Girl magazines and they look great – the girls look great there – but they're like really punky and from kind of a different aesthetic than [Pam/Cassidy].

Do you think the media, people who have interviewed you about this or about Before the Devil Knows You're Dead have been inordinately interested in the nudity that you've been doing?

Actually, I've been pleasantly surprised that it's all been treated really respectfully, and if anything, I've maybe noticed some of the women feeling kind of… empowered is too strong a word, but they feel connected somehow… It's just surprising to me, and it's a nice surprise. I mean, Mickey's character is nude, practically, the whole time, too. [laughs] Maybe it's just… that's the very essence of this whole thing, is that it's people who use their bodies for a living, and that's the theme…

I mean, dancing is like the most primal amazing creative expression that human beings have always done, so I think there's just something really beautiful about that idea, that the dancing itself is not tawdry to the dancer and there's a lot more complexity there than you'd think.

And it's really hard.

And it's really physically hard! Don't discount that. Really physically hard. That pole work is crazy hard; to be really good on that pole you have to be really strong.

It interesting that you say that a lot of the women you talked to feel empowered and interested and good about that, especially when you have gyms teaching strip classes.

I know! It's really successful for a reason.

Maybe because it's a good workout?

I think partly because it's a good workout and partly because it's 'cause your sexuality is powerful and it's been bastardized. The female body has just been objectified to a point of it not having its own power any more. And it gives you the power back.

The audio from an altercation between Christian Bale and director of photography, Shane Hurlbut, on the set of Terminator 4 finally surfaced today. In the audio Bale is pissed because Hurlbut accidentally walked on set while Bale was acting out a scene. Hurlbut quietly apologizes but Christian doesn't care and is reveling in his angry fit. You can hear someone in the background say "calm down." Christian goes on to say that he will not calm down. Just when you think it's over, Christian will yell another angry statement but this time he is yelling at the director. Bale's bitching goes on for almost 4 minutes. The audio was recorded by the film's executives and sent to their insurance company to keep Bale's commitment to the film.

Jermaine Clement [in green] and Brett McKenzie [in black] are two native New Zealanders whose hit show on HBO is based on two musicians trying without luck to break through the music business in New York. McKenzie said that "most of the stories are based on things that happened to us." Clement said that "we were very poor. Sometimes in our flat we would have so little money that we were trying to think of schemes, like how can we make some money today so that we can have some dinner."

CNN: The show is a big hit around the world. Do you consider yourselves worthy cultural ambassadors for New Zealand?

Jemaine Clement: I think in some ways our characters are typical of New Zealanders. New Zealand has a reputation as being one of the most boring peoples of the world. You don't know of that?

CNN: I wouldn't agree with that.

Bret McKenzie: Friendly. I think they're famous for being friendly.

Clement: Well, I've heard boring.

CNN: As an Australian, I would like to know why you make fun of Australians so much.

McKenzie: Because we find them funny.

Clement: We've toured in Australia and ... it always struck me when we went out to lunch with people how many times we would be made fun of because of our accents. So we stored up all that resentment and we waited years ...

McKenzie: And unleashed it.

Clement: We're giving it back to the Australians who made fun of us.

CNN: James, what is it like to work with these two?

James Bobin: It's a pleasure, obviously. We've been friends for years now. ... The show's incredibly hard work because obviously we do music and comedy at the same time and that's quite a challenge. But they're both very hardworking so it makes it easy.

CNN: What's it like on set? I imagine when the cameras start rolling that a lot of what happens is improvised.

Bobin: To a certain degree, yeah. We have a script that we like ... so we obviously try to nail that first. And from that position we just play with it a little bit and see where we go. Especially with Rhys, because Rhys is such a brilliant improviser and these guys and Rhys do so well together in those scenes in the band meetings. Often they go way off script.

Clement: Yeah, we try and write the script with parts that we know we can improvise off. So we leave some things open-ended.

McKenzie: It's between 17 and 18 percent improvised.

Clement: But this interview is a hundred percent.

CNN: A lot of the musical numbers from the first season you had in stock before you even made the TV show ...

Clement: The songs in the second season are not worse than the songs in the first season.

CNN: That wasn't going to be my question! How challenging was it to come up with a whole new set of songs?

Clement: Well, I think that was the fun part of the show because playing music is fun.

Bobin: Also, we had some stories in mind so this time round we could write songs to fit with the stories -- which was kind of nice because last year it was a bit harder to squeeze the songs into a storyline. It just made for very strange situations.

Clement: Yeah, and having the songs in the beginning sometimes leads to boring storylines because all the songs are about girls. So when we have a whole lot of storylines about girls our episodes have to be about girls. So we could go off that a bit this time.

CNN: How confident are you both in your abilities as musicians?

McKenzie: 24 to 27 percent.

Clement: I'm 24. He's 27.

McKenzie: Combined we're mediocre.

CNN: How are you enjoying the fame that's come from the success?

McKenzie: Oh it's lovely. You get free desserts.

CNN: Just free desserts?

McKenzie: Free drinks. Sometimes some free shoes.

Clement: Sometimes people invade your privacy.

McKenzie: Strangers talk to you.

Clement: But balanced against the free desserts, it evens out.

CNN: Have you encountered any Mel-like fans?

McKenzie: A lot of fans like to come up and say they're the real Mel. Or "you've actually got two fans."

CNN: Did you know someone who was like Murray? Is he based on a friend or a stereotype?

Clement: In some ways, our real manager in New Zealand.

McKenzie: She's very maternal. I think Murray's quite a maternal figure.

Clement: She gives us lists that are overly detailed. And when we were going to a new country she'd be very worried for our safety. Not that long ago Tenacious D [Jack Black's band] came to New Zealand and we were asked to open for them, and she didn't know who they were, even though they're the biggest musical comedy act ever. And that carries through to Murray.

CNN: How surprised were you by the success of the show?

McKenzie: I'm surprised by the diversity of the fans. Like there are people who are our age, which makes sense, and then there are people in their 70s who love the show. And then there are children who love the show. There's a scene in the show where I watch television in a box. I get a box sent over from New Zealand. And my friend's son, he watches TV sitting in a box. And he's 9. It's great.

Michael Phelps released a statement to the Associated Press and his Facebook page addressing the photo that claimed to be Phelps smoking from a bong:

"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again."

By engaging in this behavior, Michael Phelps risks his 100 million dollars in endorsements over the course of his lifetime. Also under the World Anti-Doping Agency rules, Marijuana is banned. Athletes found using Marijuana could be banned for up to 2 years from the Olympics. The U.S. Olympic committee said it was, "disappointed in the behavior recently exhibited by Michael Phelps."
