Drivers in Kansas City, Kan., as always, were paying a little more, $3.363o. Both were a considerable amount under the pace of the national average of $3.5221.

The Fast & the Furious 6 star tells news show Access Hollywood, "The first dinner that me and Will had, I called it the reality check dinner... I probably ran from the dinner table about 15 times during this conversation because he was dropping such heavy jewels (of wisdom) on me. It was crazy.

Mermaids do not exist, U.S. government agency confirms

cnn wire: mermaid

(CNN) - One of John Athanson's earliest memories is seeing mermaids at Weeki Wachee Springs, the "City of Live Mermaids."
Today, the 47-year-old is the public relations manager for Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, and has been for 10 years.
The park north of Tampa, Florida, hosts shows year-round involving women dressed as mermaids. It bills itself as "a magical entrance into a mysterious blue underwater world of mermaids, manatees, turtles and bubbles."
"If you ask me, (mermaids) do exist," Athanson said Thursday. "They exist, and they exist right here in Weeki Wachee."
He was responding to the U.S. government's fresh announcement to the contrary.

Mermaids do NOT exist, agency assures Americans after TV show prompts questions from viewers

Fiction: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have confirmed that there is no evidence that mermaids are real (file photo)

The question as to whether mermaids are real or not was recently put to rest as a U.S. scientific agency confirmed the sea creatures do not exist.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have confirmed that there is no evidence that the half-human, half-fish beings are a genuine living species.

The agency made a statement last week clarifying that the sea species is not real after they received a few calls following a fictional Animal Planet show called Mermaids: The Body Found that confused some viewers as fact.

Channing Tatum: "I Fluctuate About 25-30 Pounds Between Movies"

Channing Tatum tells Cosmopolitan his weight fluctuates "25-30 pounds" in between movies.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum isn't the only one eating for two! In the July issue of Cosmopolitan, the pregnant actress' husband Channing Tatum admits he's also got a healthy appetite. "I'm a fat kid on the inside," the White House Down actor reveals. "I love food so much, and I fluctuate about 25-30 pounds between movies."
Though Tatum is currently filming Jupiter Ascending in London (where his wife will give birth to their firstborn child any day), the 33-year-old star jokes that he'd like to find a project that requires less exercise.
"I feel like I have to do a chess movie that requires very little movement at some point, just so I can eat pizza and play chess on the beach all day," Tatum says. "And then eat more pizza and cheeseburgers and drink beer. That'd be amazing. I'd give anything for that. I gotta figure that movie out!"

Ryan Lochte Dumped by Girlfriend Over the Phone

Ryan Lochte was dumped over the phone by his girlfriend.

In some situations, even Ryan Lochte doesn't know what to do. During the talked-about May 26 episode of his E! reality series, What Would Ryan Lochte Do? the Olympic swimmer, 28, got a surprising phone call while out to dinner with his guy friends.

bynes_sue

Amanda Bynes has filed a lawsuit in Federal court claiming the United States government is plotting to “get her.”

Bynes unleashed a barrage lawsuits against the NYPD and her apartment complex - all over her arrest earlier last week, and then today, she decided that New York City is conspiring with the federal government to turn her into a slave for the United States.

An alien spaceship from Planet Zeeba hovered over San Diego.

The spaceship – identified at first as a UFO – was first seen over Santee, California on May 7th.

The U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials sent Dr. Susan Begley to Santee to investigate. ”We gathered evidence from hundreds of eyewitnesses as well as studying numerous photographs and videos,” said Dr. Begley. ”This is clearly a spaceship from Planet Zeeba. But there is nothing for people in San Diego to worry about.”

Elizabeth Taylor

Celebrities get married, divorced, and remarried all the time nowadays, but the great Elizabeth Taylor puts them all to shame. The glamorous actress was infamous for her numerous marriages — eight, to be exact. Movie stars just aren’t what they used to be, huh? Well, now a lucky (and rich) someone will be able to own the starlet’s first wedding dress when it goes up for auction at Christie's in London on June 26.

Sara Schaefer Blogs 'The Bachelorette': Bring on the Man Tears! (Season 9, Episode 1)

The Bachelorette

Emmy award-winning comedian Sara Schaefer, host of MTV's late show Nikki & Sara Live, will be blogging The Bachelorette for Hollywood.com all season long.

If you're like me, you've been watching The Bachelor/Bachelorette since the beginning. You can't tear yourself away season after season because, like they tell us in school, it only takes one time to become addicted to cocaine. In this scenario, of course, cocaine is the word "journey," and according to last night's premiere of The Bachelorette, this season is gonna be some gooooood s**t. Sean's fourth-place girlfriend Desiree Hartsock is going to be handing out roses this year and there are so many things to discuss I have decided to organize them in list form. (I wanted to do a PowerPoint but my editor tells me that won't work.)

Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson Break Up: Their Relationship as Told in the Tabloids

OK!, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart

As of Sunday, May 19, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart called their relationship quits for the second time. Or was it the third? Or fourth? It's so hard to keep track of these things. Luckily, we have the tabloids to remind us of the couple's highs and lows. Remember that time Rob popped the question, or when Kristen got pregnant? Neither do we, really, but the weekly mags swear it happened.

To help us say goodbye to Robsten once and for all (maybe), we took a look back at their romantic journey, as told through the tabloid covers.

Destiny's Child, Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams

Grab your favorite butterfly clips and sparkle-filled jellies sandals because we’ve got some very '90s-tastic news for you — Destiny’s Child has just released a new single. Well, sort of.

Kelly Rowland has a new album, Talk a Good Game, on its way and she’s asked her former Bootylicious band mates to join her on one of the tracks. "You’ve Changed" features Beyoncé and Michelle Williams — but don’t get too excited because Rowland wants you to know that this is not supposed to be a reunion.

Prepare yourself, Twihards. (Or pick up those Team Jacob shirts?) After reports surfaced Wednesday that Kristen Stewart cheated on Twilight costar/boyfriend Robert Pattinson with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, the actress publicly admitted to an affair with a heart-felt statement regarding her "indiscretion."

"I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected," Stewart said in the statement, according to People.com. "This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."

Amanda Bynes Accuses NYPD Officer of Sexual Harassment

Amanda Bynes

Following Thursday's drug-related arrest, Amanda Bynes took to Twitter to not only defend herself, but to denigrate New York's finest.

First, Bynes attempted to deny reports that she was arrested for smoking weed and dropping a bong out of her 36-story window by tweeting, "I only smoke tobacco I don't drink or do drugs. I've never had a bong in my life!" But on Saturday morning, Bynes turned the blame on the NYPD.

A Doll as Always, Kristen Stewart Flips Off the Paparazzi

Kristen Stewart

In light of her recent headline-making breakup with Robert Pattinson, we don't blame Kristen Stewart from wanting to stay out of the limelight. But she has seriously got to learn that flipping off the paparazzi is a sure way to get her name into headlines, not stay out of them. Case in point: this article.

K Stew was snapped leaving a waxing salon with friends in Studio City, Calif., on Thursday. Being her ever-lovely, welcoming self, Stewart greeted the eager cameras with an obscene gesture. And while we appreciate Stewart's quest for privacy, this photo was too good not to post.

Ray Manzarek, Founding Member of The Doors, Dead at 74

Ray Manzarek

Ray Manzarek, founding member and keyboardist of the iconic '60s rock band The Doors, has died in Germany after a long battle with bile-duct cancer. He was 74. The Doors' official Facebook page confirmed the news.

Manzarek wasn't the best-known member of the band. That would be frontman and singer Jim Morrison, who died mysteriously in 1971 of what appeared to be a drug overdose. But Manzarek's virtuoso keyboard skills were essential in creating the sound of The Doors, especially that slithering electric harpsichord riff that provides the backbone to their most famous song "Light My Fire." He also contributed to "Break On Through to the Other Side," "Hello, I Love You," "L.A. Woman," and "The End," which opens Apocalypse Now.

Tim Curry Reportedly Suffers a Stroke

A prominent presence in Hollywood for four decades and counting, Tim Curry might be most recognizable to you as the duplicitous butler from Clue, the voice of the maniacal smog in Fern Gully, or (most likely) the larger-than-life antihero Frank-N-Furter at the head of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. DailyMail reports that the 67-year-old character actor suffered a str oke on Thursday night at his home in the Los Angeles area.

Selena Gomez Continues to Hang with Teen Boys, Grabs Dinner with Jaden Smith

Selena Gomez, Jaden Smith

Selena Gomez had dinner with Jaden Smith Thursday night at Hakkasan in London — and that's a little bit strange.

The two were spotted exiting the restaurant and then, according to the Huffington Post, they were turned away from Boujis nightclub because Smith is underage. And therein lies the problem: Gomez is 20, Smith is... 14. Does Gomez not have any friends her own age? She just starred in Spring Breakers — why doesn't she call fellow former Disney diva Vanessa Hudgens? They can reminisce about the good old days of family-friendly programming.

My boyfriend talks constantly during sex

Trouble in bed … you must set boundaries.
My boyfriend talks too much during sex. We've been together for a year and recently he's started talking to me while we're intimate. At first it was everyday stuff like what he wants for dinner but then essentially he began ranting. Do you know how hard it is to climax while listening to someone talk about how many bands have produced "disappointing second albums"? I don't know if I can go on like this.

While you probably believe you've been patient and understanding, you really should have complained the very first time he made an in-bed dinner request. That's unacceptable, and I'm wondering what else you're struggling with, since most sexual problems are metaphors for the overall relationship. I can see you use humour as a defence mechanism, so in return I could just tell you that if he's massively rich or famous and you've decided you'll put up with it to please him, you'll eventually discover it's not worth it. But everyone gets worse if you fail to set boundaries.

Why worrying about food miles is missing the point

Jay Rayner in the food stocks

In November 2009, I lost my temper in front of a bank of television cameras in a way I have never done before or since. I was in Los Angeles working as a judge on the second season of the American TV series, Top Chef Masters. For the final, the three remaining competitors had been asked to cook a series of dishes that told their story: their first food experiences, where they are now, where they are going and the like. For the dish that defined where he was going, the famed Las Vegas-based chef Rick Moonen had cooked a venison dish, using meat imported from New Zealand.

Sun faces first civil claim as model sues over ‘police bribes’

A model is suing the Sun and Scotland Yard in the first civil claim linked to alleged corrupt payments to police officers and public officials.

Sarah Hannon is claiming damages at the high court for misuse of private information by the Metropolitan police and the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid.

She appeared in a Sun story in June 2010 that claimed her then-boyfriend was arrested after allegedly engaging in a sex act with another woman on a flight from Heathrow to Bangalore.

Greece becomes trade battleground as foreign investors swoop

The old fishing harbour in Gytheio, Peloponnes, Greece

The Chinese are interested in airports, harbours and railways. The Russians are determined to infiltrate the energy market. The Qataris have made clear they want to invest in property.

Three years to the month after becoming the first eurozone country to be bailed out by the European Union (EU), European Central Bank (ECB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF), Greece has finally got its long-delayed privatisation campaign off the ground, and the programme has turned the debt-choked country into a battleground for nations seeking access to the EU trading bloc.

Angelina Jolie's aunt Debbie Martin dies of breast cancer

Angelina Jolie's aunt has died of breast cancer less than two weeks after the Hollywood actor revealed that she had undergone a double mastectomy to avoid the disease that killed her mother at 56.

Debbie Martin, 61, died in a hospital in Escondido, near San Diego, California, according to her husband, Ron. She was the younger sister of Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, whose death from ovarian cancer in 2007 prompted the actor to have the surgery she described in a New York Times article this month.

Twelve things you don't need to pay for

One of the best ways to save money is to never pay for anything you can get for free. Here are 12 things that you could end up paying for but don't need to.
1. Reclaiming PPI

There are a multitude of companies offering to help you claim your money back if you have been a victim of payment protection insurance mis-selling. Most of these firms will take a percentage of whatever compensation you may be eligible for – usually 25% – and on top of that there can be other charges. If you do the legwork yourself it won't cost you anything, except perhaps the price of a postage stamp. Our guide on how to reclaim PPI can help you determine whether to make the claim yourself.

Kim Kardashian's baby shower: that invitation in full

Lost in Showbiz has a position on baby showers, which is that it basically doesn't do them. In the annals of irksome American cultural imports they easily outstrip little leaguers such as Gwyneth Paltrow or people saying "parsta". You decide to have a baby: you buy that shiz yourself.

Like all my hard and fast rules, though, it would obviously be broken in a heartbeat if it looked like there was a hilarious life experience in it. Consequently, I regard the invitation to Kim Kardashian's baby shower as marginally more covetable than one to Truman Capote's Black and White Ball would have been.

Liz Hurley and Gérard Depardieu's Chechnya adventure: the story so far

Ramzan Kadyrov and Liz Hurley in Cechnya.

To a news report concerning Gerard Depardieu's views on the alleged Boston bombers, and a statement so appallingly controversial that Lost in Showbiz can still scarcely believe it. "Speaking in the southern Russian province of Chechnya, where he is shooting a movie with British actress Elizabeth Hurley, Depardieu said: 'I agree with [Chechen president] Ramzan Kadyrov who said that the Tsarnaev brothers have a Chechen last name, but their upbringing is American.'"

I'm sorry, but WHAT? Tell me I didn't just read that. And yet, there it is in black and white: "where he is shooting a movie with British actress Elizabeth Hurley".

Amanda Bynes: "I Don't Drink or Do Drugs," I Need a Second Nose Job

Amanda Bynes: "I Don't Drink or Do Drugs," I Need a Second Nose Job

Without a publicist on her payroll, Amanda Bynes is doing her own damage control. Less than 24 hours after the actress was arrested in New York City, the 27-year-old denied any wrongdoing via Twitter. Bynes was charged with marijuana possession, attempted evidence tampering and reckless endangerment on Friday, May 24.

"I only smoke tobacco I don't drink or do drugs," the Easy A star insisted, attempting to discredit a police report that said she threw a bong out of her apartment window. "I've never had a bong in my life! I need to get another nose job after seeing my mugshot!" (Bynes first revealed she went under the knife via Twitter May 5. "I had a nose job to remove skin that was like a webbing in between my eyes," she explained at the time.)

Denise Richards Looks Skinny and Happy Wearing Maroon Mini-Dress

Denise Richards makes being a working mom look easy. Looking slender in a maroon mini-dress, the 42-year-old actress and mother of three looked radiant on her way to work May 22. Denise was filming two scenes in the L.A. area for her new ABC Family show, Twisted, in addition to doing a press junket.

The single star, who is temporarily taking care of Charlie Sheen's twin sons Bob and Max, revealed how she manages her busy schedule when she attended the Adopt-a-Doll event in L.A. May 18. "I'm on an ensemble show so, I'm not in every scene," Denise told Us Weekly. "I have days off and I go in for a couple of hours and shoot one or two scenes, so that's great for a working parent."

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on Hernia Surgery: "Those Were Sexy Times"

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson talks about his recovery from emergency hernia surgery in April.

Pain & Gain isn't just the name of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's latest movie; it's also an apt description of his recent recovery from hernia surgery. A little more than a month after he injured himself during a WrestleMania battle with Jon Cena, the actor and wrestler, 40, sat down to chat with Entertainment Tonight about what happened and how he's feeling.

"About midway through the match, I tore my abductor tendon, as well as my rectus tendon, completely off my pelvis," he explained to ET. "And then I found out that I had three wonderful hernia tears."

Katy Perry Really Disappointed Us All Today

0524_fish_perry

All right, so Chief Keef, right? He has this song called "Hate Being Sober," if you didn't know. That's a little sad, huh? And Katy Perry thinks so too, which is why she tweeted this:

"Just heard a new song on the radio called 'I hate being sober' I now have serious doubt for the world."

What a reasonable, understandable tweet, don't you think? Not if you're Chief Keef. If you're Chief Keef, you don't think that at all. No, instead you think of pretty gross threats to tweet back to poor dear Katy:

0402_amanda_bynes_01

Amanda Bynes is now accusing the cop who arrested her Thursday night of sexual harassment ... saying on Twitter today, "He slapped my vagina."

Bynes just posted a long, rambling tweet trying to explain her version of the events that led to her arrest.

First off, she claims she only opened the window "for fresh air" and the cop was lying when he said she threw a bong out the window. She then explains, "He slapped my vagina. Sexual harassment. Big deal. I then called the cops on him."

TIGER BACK WITH ELIN

ORLANDO – The Saga of Tiger and Elin gets weirder. Exactly one year after the “incident”, they are getting back together.

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren’s marriage has had many twists and turns. But even their divorce attorneys were shocked to learn that they were recently spotted kissing while out in their Orlando neighborhood.

There are rumors that Elin has agreed to move back in with her cheating husband. And the reconciled spouses are not being bashful about showing their love for one another.

It was just a few days ago that Sheen was telling TMZ that he wanted to be LiLo’s savior. Charlie had already bailed given LiLo $100,000 to pay her back taxes and gave her a spot on his show Anger Management. Now he wants her to be his “costar in life.”

“I have a kinship with Lindsay, who clearly needs me. She can continue to hang out with her dress shredding club buddies, or join me in a quest for a “winning” life and a rocketship to Planet Joy .”

Sources say that Taylor Swift is at war with Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. She is lashing out at them for joking about her at the Golden Globes earlier this year. At the show, the two women joked that boy-crazy Swift should “stay away from Michael J. Fox’s son,” who was a trophy boy at the ceremony.

The audience thought it was hilarious … Taylor didn’t.
