Cheerio!

...FRUITY PEBBLES! uh, anyway.

ZAC EFRON...
He reveals his favorite female body part in the new issue of "Women's Health" magazine. And it's...drum roll please...THE LIPS.

Here's why..."Because they smile.  And they're fun to kiss."

Witty, Zac.

If you want to get Zac's attention, don't tell him he's hot, or that you love "High School Musical".  Tell him he's INTERESTING.

He says,  "A woman called me interesting once, and it kind of blew my mind. She said, 'You're one of the most interesting people I've ever met,' and I was like, 'Wow.'  I'm still high on that one."

As for pickup lines, Zac doesn't really have any. His advice is to go with the flow. He says, "If the situation's right, buy someone a drink. Think on your toes, use what's around you, and come up with something organic and fun."

Zac says that when it comes to keeping a lady happy, it's the little things that count. 

He says, "I'm a fan of small romantic gestures. I've done things like write a romantic song for a girl or do a painting or something like that. Those are more up my alley, I think."









RIHANNA'S DATING LIFE...
Late Thursday night, RIHANNA posted that she was, quote "on my first date in almost 2 yearz."  Rihanna and her "date" held hands as they went to dinner and then a club.

Which probably wouldn't be a very big deal if Rihanna's date wasn't a WOMAN.

Her name is Melissa Forde. 

Throughout the night, Rihanna posted some interesting Tweets, like "Beautiful is great, submissive is even better.  Boss bitch who's submissive yet the captain of the ship n HONEST...#priceless #marryME."
"But she bad... So maybe she won't.... But [crap], then again maybe she will."

And under a photo of the two of them she posted, "#datenight my lover for the night."










KATY'S DATING LIFESHE might be dating a guy from FLORENCE + THE MACHINE.  (And no, I'm not talking about Florence.)

At Coachella this weekend, she was spotted holding hands with guitarist ROBERT ACKROYD while watching RIHANNA perform.

And a source says,  "Backstage at the Artist Lounge at Coachella last weekend, Katy kept saying her boyfriend was the guitar player for Florence + the Machine.

"She and a bunch of friends were supposed to go see Dr. Dre together, but Katy said she was waiting to watch her boyfriend perform!"

Meanwhile, Ackroyd Tweeted, "Best Coachella ever.  Scratch that, best weekend ever.  Dre, Snoop, Pac, Nate, Fiddy & KP."

BOW CHICKA WOW WOW!








WOMEN OFFENDING MEN
Apparently, men are SO sensitive that the most insulting thing you can say to them is totally FCC-friendly.

This isn't a scientific study or anything, but according to an article on the website Jezebel.com, the word that seems to offend men the most is when women call them...CREEPY.

Creepy beat out things like d-bag, a-hole, and the p-word that rhymes with wussy. See. We can't really say any of those on-air. But "creepy"? We can say that all day long.

Why is "creepy" so bad? Because it speaks so strongly to how women actually FEEL about a guy...and it's hard to disprove once you've been branded "creepy."

The p-word is about how his behavior appears...calling him a creep is how he makes women FEEL. He can prove the p-word isn't true by doing something manly...it's almost impossible to prove he's not creepy.









MEN vs. WOMEN
Here's an interesting finding about who women call throughout their life. When women are under 18, they make the most calls to female friends. When women are between 18 and 39, they make the most calls to boyfriends and then their husband.

But once women are in their 40s, their husbands drop to number two...and they call their daughters the most. Men always call a woman the most, from their mothers to female friends to their girlfriends and wives.


--MORE--


A new study found the reason men flirt with female coworkers is...THEY'RE BORED. It's not because they want to cheat. It's not because they're deviants. They're just sick of working, and flirting is a good way to break up the day.

The survey found the opposite with women...women who flirt at work are the ones who are HAPPIEST with their jobs and not bored.








MOOCHES!Wow, turns out EVERYONE'S a horrible mooch still hitting up their parents for money...That's both reassuring and horrifying. I can honestly say, I don't think I've EVER done that in my adult life.

According to a new survey, the average person under 40 borrows about $155 every single month from their family, friends, and coworkers.

Mostly their moms, though. Everyone hits up their moms. The majority of people surveyed say their mother is the first place they go if they need a few bucks.

And our mothers are reinforcing our leeching...because they're the most likely to lend money. The average mother gives her adult children money 1.72 times per year.

Women borrow one-third more money than men...people 18 to 24 borrow twice as much as people over 30...and people living in the city borrow twice as much as people living in rural areas.

The survey didn't get into how much of the $155 the average person pays back every month. And while that sounds high...think about how often one of your friends gets lunch or coffee and you promise to pay them back.









BODY PARTS ON THE BLACK MARKET
Ever been SO desperate for cash that you've thought about selling a kidney on the black market? This might make you want to. Even though you REALLY SHOULDN'T.

A website compiled info from FBI and other government reports on how much different body parts have sold for on the black market. And the going rate for a kidney in the U.S. is $262,000. Here's more on what your body is worth . . .

Kidney, $262,000 in the U.S., $62,000 in China, $15,000 in India.

Liver, $157,000.

Heart, $119,000.

Small intestine, $2,519.

Pair of eyeballs, $1,525.

Coronary artery, $1,525.

Gallbladder, $1,219.

Skull with teeth, $1,200.

Scalp, $607.

Spleen, $508.

Stomach, $508.

Hand and forearm, $385.

Pint of blood, $337 in the U.S., just $25 in India.

Skin, $10 per square inch.

That means, when you die, your body could be harvested for $810,381, not counting your blood or skin, which varies by size. But your skin could get you another $30,000 or so, and your blood could add on around $3,370.

And here's WHY there's a black market. In the U.S., there are about 113,100 people currently waiting for an organ transplant . . . and there were 14,144 organs donated in 2011. Eighteen people die every day waiting for a transplant.

We don't exactly know how you'd go about selling your organs on the black market . . . and even though the money's good, we wouldn't recommend finding out. It's an ENORMOUS RISK in so many ways.

I GOTTA FEELINGA new study found that the BLACK EYED PEAS song "I Gotta Feeling" is now the most popular song to be played at weddings.

Note: The study was conducted in the U.K., but it doesn't have too many strange "overly British" songs, so it could translate to American weddings as well.

To come up with a Top 20, the "researchers" looked at 78,000 wedding playlists on Spotify. In general, they found that couples wanted more modern "party" songs, and fewer traditional, quieter love songs.

Here's the list:

1.) "I Gotta Feeling", The Black Eyed Peas (2009)

2.) "Sex on Fire", Kings of Leon (2008)

3.) "Mr. Brightside", The Killers (2004)

4.) "Superstition", Stevie Wonder (1972)

5.) "Dancing Queen", ABBA (1976)

7.) "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", Beyoncé (2008)

8.) "White Wedding", Billy Idol (1982)

9.) "Hey Ya!", Outkast (2003)

10.) "Make You Feel My Love", Adele (2008)

11.) "I'm Yours", Jason Mraz (2008)

12.) "Signed, Sealed and Delivered (I'm Yours)", Stevie Wonder (1970)

13.) "Blame It on the Boogie", Jackson 5 (1978)

14.) "Crazy in Love", Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z (2003)

15.) "Let's Stay Together", Al Green (1971)

16.) "Greatest Day", Take That (2008) . . . They had one hit here in the 90's, "Back For Good"

17.) "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", The Proclaimers (1993)

18.) "You're the First, the Last, My Everything", Barry White (1974)

19.) "9 to 5", Dolly Parton (1980)

20.) "(I've Had) the Time of My Life", Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes (1987)









DEMI LOVATO OPENS UP ABOUT DRUG USEIn an interview with Britain's "Fabulous" magazine, DEMI LOVATO admits that DRUGS AND ALCOHOL were part of the reason she went to rehab in 2010.

She says, "Promoters gave me drugs and alcohol in restaurants or clubs. They wanted me to come back so I would be seen there. They were basically kissing my ass. I thought they were my friends. I thought I was having fun."

She adds, "Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says 'no.' That's why so many end up overdosing and dying. It could definitely have happened to me."

Demi admits that COCAINE was among the drugs she was doing. She says, "It's something I don't really want to talk about. What I can say is that I was depressed.

"I would come off stage in front of 18,000 people and suddenly be alone in a hotel room. I'd come crashing down and would try to find a way to recreate that feeling, to stay up."

As for where her head's at now, she says, "I'm not saying I'm perfect, or fixed, but I am learning to love and accept myself. My outlook is more positive and I am happy."

She's still not quite there, though...especially when it comes to her looks. She says, "I need to be secure in my body before I go back in front of the camera...Knowing I have bad angles and the photographer can take a bad shot makes me insecure."








NEWS TEAM THROWDOWN
We're all rooting for "Anchorman 2" to be awesome...and this might help:

There will be another NEWS TEAM THROWDOWN...like the big brawl in the original. Director and co-writer ADAM MCKAY says, "We already have a couple ideas for it."

There's no word if any of the news teams from the original will be back...like the rival squad led by VINCE VAUGHN...or BEN STILLER and the Spanish-Language news team.

And let's not forget the public broadcasters led by TIM ROBBINS...or LUKE WILSON and the Channel 2 news team.

There's a chance they WON'T all return, because the sequel takes place during the rise of cable and the 24-hour news cycle.

Plus, if Luke Wilson returns, he'll be ARMLESS, thanks to Tim Robbins and an angry grizzly bear.

No matter who participates, though, McKay and WILL FERRELL have a daunting task ahead of them: Finding something even cooler than a trident for STEVE CARELL to kill a guy with.









BAD NEWSThis is really bad news for women who think the key to self-esteem is sleeping around. And even worse for the dirtbag guys who can spot those women.

According to a new survey, sex DOESN'T boost women's self-esteem. Yeah...who knew, right?

The survey found that 41% of women say a COMPLIMENT is one of the best ways to boost their self-esteem...even something as simple as "you look nice today." Only 15% said sex boosts their self-esteem.

Being out in the sun, getting your hair done, and getting a nice text message are all better ways to boost your self-esteem than sex.

The only thing that sex beat out was chocolate...only 11% said eating chocolate helped raise their self-esteem.








DO YOU?Here's a sad sign of the times. In a new study by Dove, only 13% of women say they consider themselves attractive.

27% say they put the most pressure on themselves to look good...19% say society puts the most pressure on them, and 13% blame the media.

A separate study found that for most women, just IMAGINING the process of trying on bathing suits can worsen a bad mood.









FIX UP THE BATHROOM
We've got the results here of a new survey that found the top five things that make up a good bathroom...and the top five things you should NOT have in your bathroom. To sum it up, modern and expensive is good, menstruation is bad.

#1.) Anything but a shower curtain...whether it's a glass door, a shower screen, or something else, just don't have a shower curtain.

#2.) Minimal clutter.

#3.) Tiles or linoleum.

#4.) Matching towels and bath mat.

#5.) High-end products on display.

MOTHER'S DAY IS COMINGA survey by PriceGrabber found that you're a terrible, ungrateful child. That's because 38% of people plan to spend more than $100 on a Mother's Day gift this year...and 8% will spend more than $250. Here are the most popular gifts:

 #1.) Flowers: 43% of people plan to get mom flowers this year.

#2.) Gift cards: 22% are basically letting mom shop for herself.

#3.) Clothing: 17%

#4.) Jewelry: 15%

#5.) An experience: 15% are planning to take their mom to dinner or a show this Mother's Day. (People could pick more than one gift, so the percentages add up to more than 100%.)
