THE BITS…
Jimmy Fallon's debut as Tonight Show host drew 11.3 million viewers. In fact, the
ratings were so good that NBC took Jay Leno off speed dial.
Charlie Sheen says he’s not going to make his porn star fiancée Brett Rossi sign a
prenuptial agreement. Meanwhile, Charlie has been getting telephone calls from
Tiger Woods ex-wife.
Charlie Sheen says he’s not going to make his porn star fiancée Brett Rossi sign a
prenuptial agreement. However, in a wise move, Charlie is having her sanitized.
During a recent Miley Cyrus concert someone threw a thong on stage and she put it
into her mouth. That’s disgusting. Imagine having something full of germs that has
touched unknown intimate body parts coming into contact with your underwear.
Kate Upton did a photo shoot for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in which she
was weightless in zero gravity. That meant Kate weighed about the same as the rest
of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit models.

SON OF THE BITS…
A number of athletes at the winter Olympics in Sochi are adopting some of the
city’s stray dogs. In fact, Canada is now favored to win the gold medal in fetch.
There was more controversy at the Olympics yesterday. Russian officials were
caught exaggerating the size of their giant slalom.
On this date in 1878 Thomas Edison received a patent for his phonograph. Sadly, it
was this invention that led to Justin Bieber.
The Girl Scouts have started a campaign to send five tons of Girl Scout Cookies to
U.S. troops serving overseas. They’re also hoping to send another 10 tons of
cookies to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
The United Nations has warned North Korean leader Kim Jong-un that he could
face charges for committing atrocities. Kim is accused of crimes including torture,
starvation and stealing cable TV.
A Kansas lawmaker is proposing a bill that would allow teachers to spank children
hard enough to leave marks. Apparently they feel we don’t already have enough
teachers putting their hands on students’ butts.
According to a new Gallup poll the number-one problem facing America today is
unemployment. They also found that the number-two problem facing America
today is zombies.
According to a new report America may soon have a shortage of clowns. Whoever

TINSELTOWN TATTLER…
ADAM BRODY and LEIGHTON MEESTER have secretly married. They met on
the set of the 2011 movie, "The Oranges," and got engaged last November, just
nine months after it was revealed that they were dating, although they never
publically confirmed they were an item. They were spotted at a Mexican resort last
week and Brody snapped a photo with a fan at the LA airport on his return wearing
a gold band on his left finger. No official comment from the couple as of yet.
In a decision he’ll likely live to regret, CHARLIE SHEEN says he’s not going to
make his porn star fiancée Brett Rossi sign a formal prenuptial agreement. Charlie
says they've already got it under control, saying: "You keep your s**t and I'll keep
mine." Despite already having three failed marriages under his belt Charlie says,
"Prenups poison marriages." Charlie also says they plan to have a family, but not
right away because as Charlie put it, "I'm having way too much fun with her right
now. So much fun it should be illegal."
Apparently CHARLIE SHEEN’S engagement has put him in a good mood because
he’s at least temporarily patched things up with his ex-wife Brooke Mueller.
Charlie is letting Brooke move back into the Mulholland Estates mansion he owns
and booted her out of late last year after calling her an “Adderall snorting husk.”
Charlie is now getting behind Brooke’s bid to regain custody of their twins, Bob
and Max, and wants her living nearby so he can see the boys.
MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ and supermodel CARA DELEVINGNE are apparently
dating. The two were spotted leaving a London restaurant the other night and Carla
told Britain’s Daily Mirror, “It’s going really well. She’s so cool. When we started
hanging out I just thought she was awesome, and we have the best time together.
She’s hard though. You wouldn’t want to mess with her in a fight.” The buzz about
them first started last month when they were seen making out courtside at a Knicks
game in New York City.

TINSELTOWN TATTLER 2…
JOHN LEGEND married well when he snagged Sports Illustrated swimsuit model
CHRISSY TEIGEN. Not only is he married to Chrissy, she says she doesn't care if
he ogles other hot women in the magazine and, in fact, she says she loves it!
Chrissy said, "We're pretty open to that kind of thing." (See here)
That Vanity Fair magazine exposé on GWYNETH PALTROW turned out to be a
big snore, but the dirt they refused to publish may be surfacing. A rumor showed
up this week on a new secret-sharing app called Whisper that claimed Gwyneth
was cheating on husband Chris Martin with entertainment lawyer Kevin Yorn. The
rumor may have started after the two were “coincidentally” seated in first class
together on a flight from New York to LA. While the story was denied by their
reps, the editor in chief of Whisper said, “Just because a celeb’s rep denied
something doesn’t make it unsubstantiated. Our source is higher up the food
chain.” He added, “Vanity Fair chickened out, so Whisper got the scoop.”
It turns out that the domestic disturbance between MICHAEL LOHAN and KATE
MAJOR was a false alarm. Kate released a statement to Radar Online admitting
that she made up the story about Lohan threatening her with a knife because she
was afraid he was going to take their infant son away from her. Kate’s statement
read, “I regretfully tweeted while my emotions were high that I was being
threatened by Michael with a knife, this was not the case. I made a lot of
statements on Twitter that were merely out of fear that he was going to take my
son from me. Please respect our privacy through this difficult time. Thank you.”

TINSELTOWN TATTLER 3…
JUSTIN BIEBER’S legal problems are continuing to pile up. Justin will be
deposed about an incident in Miami last year where he allegedly had his bodyguard
attack photographer Jeffrey Binion and take his film card. It’s especially bad news
for Bieber because a judge ruled that they can ask him about other similar incidents
involving his bodyguards and photographers that have taken place. Bieber’s
lawyers tried to block the deposition, but their request was denied. We could even
get a chance to see Bieber squirm under questioning as the judge also denied
Bieber's request to prevent the public from seeing the videotaped deposition.
JUSTIN BIEBER might want to think twice before moving to Atlanta. Apparently
Justin is unaware that possession of even a small amount of marijuana in Georgia
is a misdemeanor that can land you in jail for a year. Even worse, if you’re busted
with more than an ounce it becomes a felony, which could mean a decade behind
bars. In California, 28.5 grams of pot or less is like a traffic ticket. Georgia also
frowns upon Bieber’s beverage of choice as even a small amount of codeine,
which is the main ingredient in sizzurp, can send you to the slammer for 15 years.
KATE UPTON may not be featured on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit
issue, but they did squeeze her into a bikini and did a photo shoot on one of those
zero gravity airplane flights. Kate and her assets can be seen floating in the 50th
anniversary swimsuit issue and an accompanying video. (See here)

DATELINE HOLLYWOOD…
JIMMY FALLON'S debut as Tonight Show host drew 11.3 million viewers, which
was down a bit from the 14.6 million who tuned in for Jay Leno's farewell.
However, Fallon was still miles ahead of David Letterman, who had 2.4 million
viewers and Jimmy Kimmel with 2.1 million.
AMERICAN IDOL had their top 15 women show last night, but the judges made a
surprise move and axed five singers before viewers even had a chance to hear them
sing. Brandy Neelly, Austin Wolfe, Jillian Jensen, Andrina Brogden and Kenz Hall
were all sent home without performing.
CBS is planning a CSI spinoff inspired by Mary Aiken's work as a cyberpsychologist. She’ll appear on a CSI episode this spring, which will introduce the
new show.
VH1 has a new show coming up called NAKED DATING, which they say will
"explore the art of romance free of pre-conceived notions, stereotypes and clothes."
Each week a man and a woman will date two different suitors in an exotic locale
and then decide if they want to pursue a relationship.
Yesterday morning on the Today Show 89-year-old ELAINE STRITCH caught
hosts HODA KOTB and KATHIE LEE GIFFORD off guard when she dropped the
F-bomb! After Kathie Lee told her, “You say whatever you want to say” Stritch
responded, “If you just say things naturally, it’s fine. They’re just thinking ‘f–k.’”

MUSIC NOTES…
DEVO guitarist Bob Casale died of heart failure on Monday at the age of 61. The
band says the death was “sudden” and “a total shock.” Last year, Devo lost
drummer Alan Myers after a battle with brain cancer.
BECK'S new album, called Morning Phase, won’t be out until next week, but if
you just can’t wait it’s now streaming on iTunes. Beck says he’s also working with
Pharrell Williams and could have another album out later this year, "time willing."
VANILLA ICE is appearing in a new commercial for Kraft's Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles Mac and Cheese shapes. The commercial has Mr. Ice stocking
grocery store shelves while performing his cut "Ninja Rap" until one shopping
mom starts popping and locking with Vanilla. (See here)
One of the highlights during MILEY CYRUS’ Bangerz tour was when someone
threw a thong on stage. Miley then grabbed the undies and put them into her
mouth. Panty in the USA!
A previously unheard song by BRITNEY SPEARS has surfaced online. The song
is called Unbroken and it was supposedly recorded for Britney’s 2011 album
Femme Fatale. (Hear here)
SHAKIRA says she consulted boyfriend Gerard Piqué before she went ahead with
the music video for 'Can't Remember To Forget You'. If you haven’t seen the video
yet, it has Shakira and RIHANNA dancing seductively and caressing each other on
a bed. Shakira says she ran it by her boyfriend because he’s super jealous.
KELIS will host her own food show on the Cooking Channel called Saucy and

THE WATERCOOLER…
What is the number one problem facing America today? According to a new
Gallup poll, 23 percent say that unemployment is the greatest challenge facing the
nation. That’s up from 16 percent in a poll taken last month. Americans had said
that "government and politicians" was the number one problem following last
year’s government shutdown.
Their three-year-old is smarter than your honor student! Queen Creek, Arizona’s
Alexis Martin may be only three years old but she’s been admitted into Mensa.
Among her accomplishments is beginning to read at the age of two and teaching

99.9% of other three-year-olds.
Researchers now say that being in love has some physical perks and health
benefits. It turns out that so-called myth about making your skin clear up is
actually true. They say that when we’re in love, our stress levels are lower, which
means fewer breakouts and pimples. Participants in the study were shown pictures
of people they were in love with and their dopamine levels shot up. That type of
brain activity is associated with optimism, energy and a sense of well being. They
say it all means that being in love can help you live longer.
Kansas lawmaker Gail Finney is proposing a bill that would allow teachers,
caregivers and parents to spank children hard enough to leave marks. Current
Kansas law allows spanking that doesn't leave marks, but the Democrat from
Wichita says he wants to allow up to 10 strikes of the hand that could leave redness
and bruising. The bill also would allow parents to give permission to others to
spank their children.

THE WATERCOOLER 2…
Orem, Utah mother Judy Cox and her 18-year-old son were shopping at the local
mall when she saw what she considered to be "indecent" T-shirts on display at the
PacSun store. The shirts featured pictures of scantily clad models in provocative
poses. Cox said she complained about the window display to a store manager and
was told the T-shirts couldn't be taken down without approval from the corporate
office. Cox solved the problem by buying all 19 T-shirts in stock for a total of
$567. She says she plans to return them just before the store's 60-day refund period
expires. Not only that, Cox met with the Orem city attorney to discuss whether the
images on the T-shirts violated city code.
Kathryn Skaggs is the author of the blog "A Well-Behaved Mormon Woman" and
she has a problem with the new Disney movie "Frozen," because she says it has a
"gay agenda to normalize homosexuality." While Skaggs claims to have seen, and
enjoyed, "Frozen" three times with her grandchildren, she says that she could
blatantly see that the homosexual agenda was not simply an underlying message in
the movie, but the actual story. She goes on to say the process of normalizing
homosexual behavior in society is going to require the indoctrination of our
children. Skaggs goes on to say that she’s not anti-gay but is concerned that parents
are blind to what she sees as the movie’s homosexual theme.
Women in Kazakhstan have their knickers in a twist over a new law that will ban
synthetic underwear beginning July 1st. The law will ban any underwear
containing less than 6 percent cotton from being imported, made, or sold in Russia,
Belarus and Kazakhstan, meaning no more racy lacy undies. During a protest last
weekend some 30 women wore lace underwear on their heads and shouted
“Freedom to panties!” as they were shoved into police vehicles. However, a
consumer outcry against the law is already reaching a fever pitch as photographs
comparing sexy modern underwear next to outdated Soviet goods began spreading
on Facebook and Twitter and women and men alike railed against the law.

THE WATERCOOLER 3…
Coulrophobia is a fear of clowns and there could be some good news for
coulrophobes. The New York daily news reports that a "national clown shortage"
may soon be upon us. They say that older clowns are dying and not nearly as many
younger clowns are joining the ranks to replace them, leading to a drastic decrease
in membership at the country's biggest clown organizations over the past decade.
Perhaps it’s because the average clown only makes $300, at most, per birthday
party performance. Not only that, The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus
hasn’t been affected by the looming clown shortage and they’ve even made their
audition process more difficult. Still others say there is no looming clown shortage
as the younger performers just aren’t joining the clown organizations.
Princeton University gastroenterologist Dr. Anish Sheth has confirmed the
existence of "poo-phoria." The good doctor says that when a bowel movement is
big enough to distend the rectum, it can stimulate the vagus nerve, which can lead
to an orgasm-like feeling. Dr. Sheth has even written a book called, “What's Your
Poo Telling You?” and explains, "To some it may feel like a religious experience,
to others, like an orgasm." They say poo-phoria might be another trick of the
human body in its effort to make basic necessary biological functions pleasurable.
This week’s crazy Pat Robertson rant was against the notion of global warming.
Robertson seems to think the idea of global warming is ridiculous since it’s been
“cold as the dickens” this winter. Robertson went on to say that environmental
advocates are using climate change as a guise in order to introduce socialism and
“take over all of the plants and the manufacturing of the world.” He even claimed
that some environmental “extremists” want to “kill off people.” (See here)

While watching snow removal efforts from his apartment window this week, an
unnamed 39-year-old Pittsfield Township, Michigan man became frustrated with
those efforts because instead of the snow being removed from around his wife's
vehicle it was placed around her car, preventing her from leaving. The man then
went outside and voiced his complaints to the snowplow driver by firing a shot
through his windshield. The man later made his way through the snow and turned
himself into police and could be charged with assault with intent to murder.
Boston’s 55-year-old William Kaouette looked out from the window of his
apartment and watched as a business owner used a snow blower in a nearby
parking lot. Seeing that the business owner was blowing snow onto his car,
William grabbed a shovel and went outside. William told the man he wanted to
help him remove snow, but then attacked the business owner with his shovel.
Police soon arrived and shoveled William into jail.
The father of an unnamed Seattle boy said his son was working on a school science
project involving model rocketry. Unfortunately, this science project was
undertaken in the family home. Dad said his son and a cousin were apparently
trying to start a fire in the fireplace and may have used some of their rocket fuel.
The ensuing explosion broke out windows in the living room and kitchen, blew
open the back door and propelled some debris out into the back yard. The boys
were hospitalized with wounds and authorities confiscated their rocket-building
supplies, including assorted chemicals for mixing up pyrotechnic powders.
Young Riley Pearson was recently expelled from Colnbrook Church of England

Bruce Allen Santee II is a semi-professional wrestler who goes by the name “The
Marquee.” It seems that The Marquee was riding home with a woman who blew
through a yield sign and was pulled over by Pinellas Park, Florida police. It turned
out the woman was driving on an expired license, so the officer forced the group to
arrange for another ride home. Apparently unhappy with those arrangements The
Marquee called the officer a pig and later went on Facebook to offer $100 to
anyone who would kill the policeman. Among those seeing the offer from the
Marquee de Stupid were fellow law enforcement officers who contacted The
Marquee who later turned himself in to face charges.
An unnamed man walked into a Des Moines, Iowa Taco John’s, pulled a gun and
told the employee behind the counter, “Give me everything you got.” However, the
employee responded, “I don’t have anything for you…And plus, that’s a BB gun.”
The would-be robber then tried firing the gun, but nothing happened, mainly
because the pistol wasn’t loaded. The man then fled empty-handed.
Police in West Yorkshire, England were recently dispatched to a disturbance at the
Harold Club in Bradford where a wedding reception was taking place. Police
closed an entire section of the property to prevent any further problems and quickly

West Boca, Florida’s 21-year-old Alexandra Anne Westover reported that she’d
been sexually assaulted on the side of a highway. Alexandra gave deputies a
detailed description of her attacker and showed them the location on the Florida
Turnpike where the attack took place. Alexandra’s story might’ve been more
believable had troopers found video footage of her vehicle anywhere on the
turnpike from northern Florida all the way to the Keys during that day. Alexandra
eventually admitted that she made the whole story up because she didn't want to
get in trouble for not showing up for work at her great uncle's house that day.
