LADIES, CALM DOWN...
A rumor started circulating on Twitter the other day that BRUNO MARS came out of the closet. It apparently started out as a CNN iReport. But calm yourselves, it's NOT TRUE!
Bruno's rep says the rumor is "completely fabricated [and] false."
THEY CHANGED A SCENE IN THE NEW TITANIC...
JAMES CAMERON digitally altered a scene for the 3D re-release of "Titanic". But don't worry, you won't even notice it.
In the original film, in the scene where KATE WINSLET is lying on a piece of driftwood after the boat sinks, there's a mistake: The stars in the sky are in the wrong position. Apparently.
Astronomer NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON noticed that, and he sent director JAMES CAMERON an e-mail to inform him.
Cameron replied "Mr. Tyson, when was the last time you got laid?"
Kidding. But he should have.
No big surprise here: Cameron was too much of a perfectionist to let it slide.
"So I said, 'All right, you son of a [B-word], send me the right stars for the exact time, 4:20 A.M. on April 15th, 1912, and I'll put it in the movie,' So that's the one shot that has been changed."
LETTERMAN LONGER...
DAVID LETTERMAN and CRAIG FERGUSON have extended their deals with CBS, which will keep their late-night shows rolling through 2014. There's no word what the deals are worth.
This means Letterman will break JOHNNY CARSON'S record of 30 consecutive years hosting a late-night show. Carson hosted "The Tonight Show" from 1962 to 1992. As of right now, they're TIED, although Letterman did it with TWO shows.
He began hosting "Late Night with David Letterman" on NBC in 1982...and 10 years later, he jumped to CBS to begin his current gig on "The Late Show".
YER STARVING YOURSELF...
You've really got to eat more. According to a new study, the average person only eats ELEVEN full meals a week...or less than two a day.
About half of people skip breakfast daily...30% regularly skip lunch...and one-third skip dinner.
GOOD NEWS!!
AAA says that by the year 2020, one out of every six drivers will be older than 65.
A survey of older drivers found that most of them "self police", because they know they aren't as good of a driver as they used to be.
Half of them won't drive at night, and 61% won't drive in bad weather.
42% avoid heavy traffic, and 37% only drive on roads they're familiar with.
Tonight after 9, we'll talk about your BIGGEST pet peeves on the road!
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
Buying a house is the biggest financial decision a lot of us will ever make...but that doesn't mean we use logic and common sense to make it.
A survey by Coldwell Banker found that most people rely on their hearts instead of their minds when buying a house.
60% of people believe in love at first sight when it comes to house shopping. Meaning they know whether a house is the right one for them the first time they see it.
28% of women and 25% of men said that their FEELINGS about a house are a more important factor in their decision than size, layout, or even price.
THIS IS SMART...
On Sunday, around 2:30 A.M., 21-year-old Marques Hoskins broke into a woman's apartment in New York City while she was out walking her dog.
When the woman got back, she and the dog scared Marques off...but he managed to grab her cell phone.
So she called the cops. About two hours later, one of the cops used his phone to text the stolen phone. And, idiotically, Marques responded.
He clearly didn't realize the cops were texting him, so he made an offer. He wanted $500 for the stolen phone...or to HOOK UP with the woman. The cops accepted, and asked him to meet that night.
He went to the location assuming he was going to meet the woman to hook up...and instead, the cops arrested him.
REUNION: THAT 70's SHOW
The cast of "That '70s Show" will reunite on a special celebrating Fox's 25th anniversary...but unfortunately, it won't be a full reunion.
It will feature Ashton Kutcher, Laura Prepon, Mila Kunis and Wilmer Valderrama. Apparently, Topher Grace and Danny Masterson won't be there...or Lisa Robin Kelly, who played Topher's sister.
She was arrested last weekend on a FELONY charge of spousal abuse.
It's unclear if more cast members are expected to join in.
Former "Married...with Children" stars Ed O'Neill, Katey Sagal, Christina Applegate and David Faustino will also be there, along with former "X-Files" stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.
Fox's two-hour "25th Anniversary Special" airs Sunday, April 22nd.
Fox's 25th anniversary is technically passed. The network launched Joan Rivers' late night show on October 9th, 1986 but they're not counting that. They're going by the anniversary of their first primetime shows, which started on April 5th, 1987 with "Married with Children" and the "Tracy Ullman Show".
BASEBALL!!!
The season has BEGUN! Went to the Tribe game over the weekend and found some interesting stats from the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council.
Oh, and the Pittsburgh Pirates have already been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.
This year, Americans will eat 20.5 million hot dogs at Major League ballparks. (It's not clear if they count hot dogs eaten at Toronto Blue Jays games, or if they only cover U.S. teams. Maybe Canadians don't eat hot dogs. I mean, they ARE Canadians.)
All of those hot dogs could stretch from the new Marlins stadium in Miami, Florida to Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. Or they could round the bases 28,489 times.
We'll also eat 5.2 million sausages at ballparks this year.
The Texas Rangers are expected to serve the most hot dogs this year...1.6 million. So even if they lose their third straight World Series, at least they've won SOMETHING.
(Just kidding, Rangers fans. You're both amazing.)
The Phillies and the Red Sox are expected to sell 1.5 million hot dogs each, the Dodgers will sell the fourth-most hot dogs...and Yankee Stadium will be fifth.
DIRTY DIRTY
We've seen PLENTY of reports on how innocent things you touch every day are filthy and germ-infested. And here's another one.
According to a new study, the average computer mouse is THREE TIMES FILTHIER than a toilet seat. The study also found that the average keyboard, office chair, desk, phone, and elevator button were all more germ-covered than a toilet too.
I should probably just go eat my sammich on the toilet then.
PEACE AND QUIET?
Silence is deafening, IMO. The Guinness World Record for the quietest place on Earth is a laboratory in Minneapolis.
It's 99.99% sound absorbent. And if you're alone in the room in the dark for 45 minutes...you actually go INSANE.
You start hallucinating, especially when you can hear your heart beating, and your lungs and stomach.
WOMEN'S EXCUSES TO AVOID SEX
A British website surveyed women and asked them what excuses they've used to avoid having RELATIONS. Which, I have to wonder WHY. Sex is awesome and fun. Yer lying if you say it isn't. Or yer boyfriend is crappy in the sack.
Here's the top 10:
#1.) "I'm too tired," 69%.
#2.) "I have to get up early," 61%.
#3.) "I have a headache," 57%.
#4.) "I feel too chubby," 54%.
#5.) "I don't have time," 48%.
#6.) "I'm just not in the mood right now," 47%.
#7.) "I feel sick," 39%.
#8.) Pretending to be asleep, 33%.
#9.) "I'm too full after dinner," 28%.
#10.) "I haven't shaved or waxed and I'm really hairy down there," 27%.
The only valid excuse is #10. And even then, a few days is fine.
PAY ATTENTION
Did that work?
If you want people to pay attention...whether you're making a website, giving a presentation, or whatever...here's the key. Show them photos of a CAKE, a woman in a BIKINI, and two cars about to CRASH.
It's because the most primitive parts of your brain scan everything for food, sex, and danger...so when you see photos of all three, you can't HELP but pay attention.
HIPSTER HAVEN
When a hipster finds out they're in one of America's top hipster cities, how do they react? Shrug and act disinterested? Or move, now that the city's too mainstream?
"Travel and Leisure" magazine just released a list of the top U.S. cities for HIPSTERS, based on criteria like live music, coffee bars, local microbrews, tech-savviness, and performance art venues. Here's the top 10...
#1.) Seattle, Washington
#2.) Portland, Oregon
#3.) San Francisco, California
#4.) New Orleans, Louisiana
#5.) Portland, Maine
#6.) Providence, Rhode Island
#7.) Austin, Texas
#8.) San Juan, Puerto Rico
#9.) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
#10.) Denver, Colorado

CHRIS DAUGHTRY SUED
CHRIS DAUGHTRY became a sensation after being a finalist on Season Five of "American Idol"...and now the members of the band he was in before "Idol" are suing him for ripping them off.
The band was called ABSENT ELEMENT...and in their lawsuit, the other three members claim they helped him write music that appeared on "Daughtry", the album he put out after his "Idol" run.
The songs included his single "Home"...along with "Breakdown" and "Gone".
According to the suit, "Breakdown" features words and music from the Absent Element songs "Break Down" and "Conviction"...and "Gone" lifts quite a bit from a song they had called "Sinking".
The band claims Chris committed, "constructive fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, unfair trade practices, and other deceptive and wrongful conduct"...because he didn't give them a cut. There's no word how much they're asking for in damages.
Chris responded to the lawsuit with this message on his website: "I am very hurt by these false accusations. The songs listed in this lawsuit were written solely by me, and no one else...and at this time, I have no further comment."

BIEBS IS JEALOUS!!!
SELENA GOMEZ was recently in Miami to film a movie called "Spring Breakers", which also stars Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and James Franco.
"In Touch Weekly" claims James Franco's presence made JUSTIN BIEBER a little jealous.
A so-called "insider" says, "[The girls] think [James is] hilarious and so cute. There's been a lot of flirting, and James keeps everyone laughing and excited."
So does Justin have anything to worry about? No...In Touch" says James sees the girls "more as sisters than potential conquests!"
For the record, Justin is 18, Selena is 19 and James Franco turns 34 next Thursday.
MORE TOMORROW...IF NOT TOMORROW, SOON!
