TINSELTOWN TATTLER…
More reality stars are getting caught up in the Ashley Madison
scandal. JOSH TAEKMAN, husband of Real Housewives of
New York City star KRISTEN TAEKMAN was found to have
signed up with the cheating spouse website. At first Josh said,
"There's not a shot in hell that I'm a subscriber. I have no
knowledge of that this is the first I've ever heard of it. This is
crazy." It turns out that it wasn’t so crazy as he later said, "I
signed up for the site foolishly and ignorantly with a group of
friends and I deeply apologize for any embarrassment or pain I
have brought to my wife and family." Meanwhile, the name of
former Jersey Shore star SNOOKI’S husband, Jionni Lavalle,
also popped up. Ironically, this came just as Snooki bashed Josh
Duggar's wife, Anna, for standing by him. However, Snooki
later posted a message on Instagram denying her husband’s
name was on the list, although she didn’t provide any proof.
(See post here)
Not all of the Duggars are standing by JOSH DUGGAR. After
Jessa Duggar posted a Facebook message about sin and
forgiveness, Josh’s brother in law, Daniel Keller, ripped into
him by commenting, "You have to confess and forsake your sin
to have mercy. Not sin confess and repeat." He added that Josh
had brought disgrace to the family and told him to go to hell.

There’s good news with Labor Day weekend approaching. The
price of gas has dipped below $2 per gallon. The bad news is it’s
only in 12 states as of now, but more states are expected to
follow suit by the time the weekend rolls around. The price drop
is because the cost of oil is at its lowest level in over six years.
Oil has dipped below $40 per barrel and experts say that if it
stays there, it’s practically guaranteed that average gas prices
will fall below $2 per gallon everywhere by Christmas.

Despite those sad eyes, researchers from the University of
Cambridge say dogs aren't capable of feeling guilt or shame
after they do something bad. They say that look of guilt or
shame is really just a response to being scolded by their owners.
One researcher said they had a client who had three dogs and
whenever something happened like a shoe being chewed, it was
almost always the same one that had the guilty look even if she
didn’t do it. Instead, they say the expression was just because
she was just the most timid dog. They say that, like babies, dogs
are born with the ability to feel excited and develop the
emotions of distress, fear and joy. However, dogs stop
developing their emotions at about six months old, while in
humans the emotion of guilt doesn’t develop until around age 3.

A number of studies have shown that the color of our eyes
affects how we feel pain, how well we can hold our liquor and
even our ability in different sports. Researchers at Pittsburgh
University say that women with lighter colored eyes experience
less pain during childbirth compared to women with darker eyes.
People with lighter eyes also consume significantly more
alcohol because darker eyed people require less booze to get
drunk. They found that eye color is based on 12 to 13 individual
variations in people's genes, which correlate to other things in
the body. While the dark eyed people are more susceptible to
alcohol, it also helps increase the reaction time in the brain,
making them better at sports like baseball. However, lighter
eyed people are better at things that require more planning, such
as studying or playing golf.
