12.07.10 Tuesday

Today is "National Cotton Candy" day, or as my dentist calls it, "The Reason I Own A Jag" day.

More importantly, though, today is also the day we remember the attack on Pearl Harbor which killed 3,000 in 1941 and dragged the U.S. into WWII.

Pop Quiz

80% of lawyers say one of the most common ways a spouse discovers their partner has cheated is (how)?

-Reading their text messages

-From friends

-Through Facebook

Answer

Facebook! 1 in 5 divorces now involve Facebook. Spouses getting sexually chatty with folks on their friends list, or seeing a revealing photograph someone tagged with their spouse's name. Oops.

It's nice to have friends that have your back, isn't it? That's what Chelsea Handler is to Jennifer Aniston -- she says the things Jen is thinking, but won't say out loud. At her show over the weekend, Chelsea ripped into Angelina Jolie, calling her a "homewrecker," and a few other things I'd be fired for saying on the radio. If you're alone, and bad language doesn't offend you, watch the rant here

Breaking news in the world of hair -- Emma Stone is a blonde! She changed her hair color to play the Gwen Stacy in the new Spider-Man movie.

Snooki was caught by photographers in a park...get this... reading a book! She was deep into the book "Toxic Men" while eating a giant pretzel. Proof

Look for Cher's former daughter and now son, Chaz, in a documentary about his life and his gender reassignment. He hopes it will help change hearts and minds on this issue.

Jim Carrey's daughter, Jane, left her husband, Alex Santana, after one-year of marriage. The two have a 9-month old son named Riley.

Watch for Mariah Carey looking pregnant and cute on Christmas morning in Disney's Christmas Day Parade on ABC. She recorded her performance on Friday in Orlando. "You could really see the pronounced belly," according to People.com. Picture here

Josh Duhamel has apparently learned his lesson after ignoring a flight attendant to cease texting before taking off. The captain ended up kicking him off the plane. He told Access Hollywood that the experience was "not my favorite moment." But thankfully he's put it all behind him - "I'm good," he added. "Lesson learned."
