Okay, I Think I’m Ready to Talk About Paula Abdul and This Chihuahua

Paula Abdul Could Have Stepped Over the Chihuahua, Just Like This It's not that I've been ignoring this story, per se, it's just that, like, what do you really say? She broke her nose when she tripped over her chihuahua. This is not the sort of thing one does sober. I mean, far be it from me to point fingers or accuse someone of being an addict. All I'm saying is this: sober people do not trip over chihuahuas. I have three cats in my apartment. It's a small apartment. It's a one-bedroom. There are three cats. They are all approximately chihuahu...

Is Rachel McAdams Lying About Her Age?

rachel_mcadams.jpg From Radar: Rachel McAdams is too young to lie about her age—or is she? The star of Wedding Crashers and The Notebook claims she was born in October 1978, making her 28.

ORAL sex increases your risk of getting throat cancer, experts warned last night. They said that it can pass on the human papilloma virus, which also triggers cervical cancer in women. And they claim oral sex is an even BIGGER cause of throat cancer — which kills 1,700 people a year — than smoking or drinking. A study found men and women who had oral sex with more than six people in their lifetimes were 8.6 times more likely to develop the disease. But smokers were only three times more likely to get it and drinkers were just two-and-a-half times more at risk. The researchers compared 100 men and women with throat cancer to 200 healthy people, taking into account their sex lives. They found that having oral sex does not always mean you get the HPV virus. But those who do catch it are 32 times more likely to develop throat cancer, which also affects the tonsils and the back of the tongue. Surprisingly, people who already have HPV do not boost their risk of throat cancer if they also smoke or drink. Until now, experts thought cigarettes and booze were the biggest causes.

Pirates is Unleashing Its Fury in Japan, Too

depp4.jpg Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom arrive at Narita for the Tokyo premiere of Pirates 3, because if the U.S. has to be inflicted with this thing, Tokyo does too, dammit. Keira Knightley, once again, is nowhere to be seen. Maybe she's flying in later. I mean, she is in this movie, isn't she? It's kind of bullshit that Johnny and Orlando have to schlep their asses around the globe promoting this thing and she's, like, way too busy not eating to attend. ...

Blind Item!

Which rehabbed starlet was in for addictions even worse than alcohol and cocaine? She's still battling a crystal meth habit. I don't know that a crystal meth habit is "worse" somehow than a cocaine habit. It's just a whole lot trashier. So guess away, people. [source] />...
