TINSELTOWN TATTLER 2…
JUSTIN BIEBER supposedly asked to be roasted by Comedy Central because he
knows that he’s been a jerk and wants everyone to know he’s turned over a new
leaf. Word is Justin has changed for the better over the last few months and that
he's polite and respectful again. For example, TMZ reports that Bieber went to
Mozza in L.A. Sunday night, but the restaurant was full. Two guys saw him and
voluntarily moved to the bar so he could have a table. Word is that Justin
personally thanked them and bought their dinner. Insiders say the roast is Justin’s
way of acknowledging his past mistakes and moving on.
Superhero stars CHRIS EVANS and CHRIS PRATT have made a Super Bowl bet
for charity. Evans is from Boston and Pratt is from Seattle and if the Patriots lose,
Evans will dress as Captain America and fly to Seattle and visit the Children's
Hospital while waving a 12th man flag. However, if the Seahawks lose, Pratt will
dress as Star-Lord, wearing a Tom Brady jersey, and visit Christopher's Haven in
Boston. It started when Evans tweeted, "Well, well, well @prattprattpratt, looks
like our teams are going into battle. For the next 2 weeks, you are not my friend,
you are my enemy." Pratt responded, "@ChrisEvans We both know there's only
one Captain America and his name is Russell Wilson."

DATELINE HOLLYWOOD…
The harsh reality for LEANN RIMES and EDDIE CIBRIAN is that their reality
show has been canceled by VH1 after one season.
SURVIVOR has introduced the castaways for its upcoming 30th season. This
season’s theme is "Worlds Apart" and the castaways will be divided into three
tribes - White Collar, Blue Collar and No Collar. No Collar refers to those with
"free spirits who are known to break the rules," and they include a coconut vendor,
a sailing instructor and a 41-year-old YouTube "sensation." Survivor Season 30
premieres February 25th.
A purported script for the upcoming WALKING DEAD spinoff series has leaked.
It shows that the series will start in the early days of the zombie crisis with the
C.D.C. attempting to prove the dead do not walk among us. The leaks would seem
to indicate that the world isn’t yet in the state of chaos it's in after Rick Grimes
wakes up from his coma in "Walking Dead."

result in some epic selfies!
IGGY AZALEA is featured in the February issue of GQ magazine. Iggy tells the
magazine, “At the very worst, if I have a short-lived career, at least I could say I

And if I have a very long career and can be gyrating in a leotard at 35, that would
be great.”

THE WATERCOOLER…
Microsoft unveiled the first details of its Windows 10 operating system. They say
the new operating system will span devices from PCs and game consoles to smart
phones and tablets. Among the new features is the successor to Internet Explorer
and the system will also integrate Skype across all devices, and include Office
programs Word, Excel and PowerPoint on all Windows 10 phones and tablets.
There’ll also be an Xbox app where users will find their games or follow friends.
All owners of devices running Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1 will get a free
upgrade to Windows 10 for the first year.
Apparently Starbucks weddings are a thing now. If you check out the hashtag
#StarbucksWedding you’ll find nearly one hundred photos of couples who actually
tied the knot at the coffee shops. Newlyweds DeAnna Dodson and Jordan Senz of
Wisconsin vowed to “love each other a latte,” and Senz even promised to
“macchiato an honest woman out of you.”
There are some common, everyday words that you’re probably mispronouncing. If
you know someone that’s rich, they’re not "a-FLU-ent," but "AFF-lu-ent." Those
tennis shoes you have aren’t "ah-DEE-dus," but "AH-dee-das" as the German
brand is correctly pronounced in the rest of the world. If you own a pair of Adidas,
you may consider them prestigious, but it’s correctly pronounced "pre-STI-jus,"
not "pre-STEE-jus" with the long "e" sound. If your favorite Boston basketball
player wears Adidas, he’s not a Celtic, but a "Keltic," which was the original, and
technically correct, way to say it. If all this is making you hungry, you can go to
Chipotle. While there seems to be some debate as to whether it’s pronounced “chiPOAT-lay" or “chee-POAT-lay,” it’s definitely not "chi-pole-tay" or "chi-potl."
It’s your prerogative to say words correctly, but better make that "PRE-rog-uh-tiv,"
not "PUR-rog-uh-tiv." Blame Bobby Brown on that one. (See more here)

Here’s your feel good story for the day. Chesterfield, Virginia’s Jodie Green has an
autistic son named Dylan. Ever since he was 2 years old, Dylan has been obsessed
with vacuum cleaners, particularly Kirbys. With his 14th birthday approaching,
Jodie wrote to Kirby explaining her son’s obsession and how he spends hours a
day watching vacuum cleaner videos and talking about them. Jodie asked if a
salesman could come to the party to demonstrate their product, even offering to
pay a fee, but making it clear she wasn’t going to buy one. The company not only
sent a salesman to the party, he gave Dylan a soccer ball, a hat and a T-shirt with
the Kirby logo and one of their vacuum cleaners. Salesman Al Archie said of
Dylan, “He knew more about the Kirby than I did.” Jodie later said, “I’m going to
have the cleanest carpets in Chesterfield County.”
Jessie Gallan is Scotland’s oldest woman. Jessie turned 109 on January 2nd and is

sure she got plenty of exercise, perhaps by running away from men.

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning reportedly wants to return for the

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck was drafted first overall again, but
this time it was for the Pro Bowl as Cris Carter chose him first for Team Carter.

The Atlanta Hawks won their franchise-record 14th straight game with their 11091 victory over the Indiana Pacers last night.

DUH…
DeBary, Florida’s 83-year-old Charlene Earle has been arrested on felony charges
of battery on a person older than 65. This comes after her and her husband, 87year-old Charles Earle, got into a fight, resulting in numerous scrapes, cuts and
bruises to both of them. Charlene was able to drive them to a hospital for treatment
of their injuries, but if you were wondering what would cause the lovebirds to
attack one another, your guess is as good as theirs. The couple later told deputies
they didn’t remember what started the argument.
Michael Foster was at the Brandon, Florida, Wal-Mart when he noticed another
man getting out of his vehicle in the parking lot with a holstered gun under his
coat. Fearing the worst, Foster followed Clarence Daniels through the parking lot
and into the store. Foster then approached Daniels from behind, put him in a
chokehold and brought him to the ground. After a brief struggle, Foster yelled that
Daniels had a gun, to which he responded that he had a permit to carry it. It turns
out Daniels did have a permit and Foster now faces battery charges.
Former British soldier Allan Johnston held up Jennifer Pringle in the town of
Stirling last August and made off with her handbag. Jennifer handed over her bag
even though Allan was armed only with a can of Red Bull. Unfortunately, the Red
Bull didn’t give Allan wings as he was quickly apprehended. Allan was sentenced
to nearly four years in prison after pleading guilty to assault and robbery, but told
the court he wouldn’t have used a real gun because "guns kill people".
Houston police say Dorian Markee Walker-Gaines stole an iPad from a truck
owned by Randy Schaefer, who was stupid enough to park his unlocked vehicle
overnight in front of his home. And why do police believe that Dorian is the
culprit? He used the stolen iPad to take selfies bragging of the crime which,
unbeknownst to him, automatically uploaded to Randy’s iCloud. Dorian also
uploaded video to his Facebook account identifying himself and it’s noted he has
an arrest record and the inappropriate word "Brilliant" tattooed across his chest.

Toledo, Ohio, police attempted to pull Jason Davis over on a routine traffic stop.
However, the stop became not-so-routine when Jason sped away, although he did
greatly aid police in his capture as he crashed through a gate into the parking lot of
the Toledo Correctional Institution. Still, Jason refused to exit the vehicle and had
to be forcibly removed by officers. Jason is facing numerous traffic and drug
charges, plus vandalism for damaging the prison gate.
Police in Denmark are on the lookout for the men that stole a lawn tractor from a
business near the town of Gråsten. It shouldn’t be too difficult to find the crooks as
a Google Street View camera car drove by just as they were committing the
robbery. A Google photo shows the two men and their car, complete with their
license plate number.
Middletown, New York’s Diane Andryshak stepped out of the house on Monday to
run errands. When she returned, Diane didn’t have a house to step back into. That’s
because her husband, James Rhein, rented a bulldozer while she was out and razed
the house. Rhein said the house was falling apart and needed to come down, but he
didn’t tell his wife. That would explain why neighbors saw her in the middle of the
road screaming upon finding the home demolished and her clothes and medicine
buried in the rubble. Rhein is facing a felony criminal mischief charge, but says his
wife has already gotten over it, although she told local media she’s still in shock.
Oak Ridge, Tennessee judge William Lawrence Tunnell has found himself on the
other side of the bench. When Tunnell fell at an intersection, a group of bystanders,
including Charles Smallwood, came to his aid. Smallwood and the others tried to
get Tunnell to stay until paramedics arrived, but he refused. When Smallwood
stepped in front of Tunnell’s car to prevent him from leaving, the judge allegedly
said, “Move you (expletive) or I will run you over.” The judge kept his word and it
was Smallwood that was tended to by paramedics, while Tunnell is facing an
aggravated assault charge.
