1.
[National Enquirer] The last time this A-List actress texted n*de pics of herself to an ex, her phone got hacked and the images were plastered all over the Internet. You’d think that would have taught her a lesson, but she’s done it again! Although she’s dating a businessman now, the blonde 20-something actress sent racy photos to her well-known actor “friends with benefits” pal – and he’s been sharing them with all of his Hollywood buddies!
Popular guess: ScarJo dating businessman Nate Naylor, FWB pal Justin Timberlake
2.
[National Enquirer] This famous Latina TV actress is secretly dating the popular mayor of a big U.S. city. She’s in her 30s and has been divorced twice, and she’s desperate to be half of a power couple with the handsome politician! Who are they?
Popular guess: Eva Longoria and Antonio Villaraigosa current mayor of Los Angeles.
3.
[National Enquirer] Which 60-something singer/ actress – she was in a classic ’70s musical – has given her troubled daughter a dose of tough love? The Grammy winner has forced her spoiled, wannabe starlet offspring to get a 9-to-5 job – as a housekeeper!
Popular guess: Olivia Newton John and daughter Chloe Lattanzi
4.
[National Enquirer] Which openly gay TV personality ONLY hires good-looking 20-something assistants that look exactly like Zac Efron? The hunky guy is in a serious relationship, but he loves eye candy and will dismiss applicants for being female, in their 30s, or – God forbid – chubby!
Popular guess: Anderson Cooper? Andy Cohen?
5.
[Star Magazine] What pop star’s mar*juana addiction is turning her into a monster? “She will light up in the middle of the Chateau Marmont gardens,” a source tells us. “She loves to get high. She says it helps her creativity when she’s writing songs.”
Popular guess: Lady Gaga and if she's hanging with Lindsay Lohan it's probably something stronger than a lil weed.
6.
[National Enquirer] Which pop star’s young lover is causing major problems on her current tour because he thinks he’s a bigger star than the other acts performing alongside his cougar girlfriend? The brash beau thinks he’s the ringleader of the concert tour and has alienated almost everyone except for his famous meal ticket!
Popular guess: JLO and boyfriend Casper "Bo" Smart.
7.
[Star Magazine] Which pop superstar’s baby dreams were shattered when her fiancé revealed that he couldn’t have children because he had undergone a vasectomy?
Popular guess: Britney Spears and fiance Jason Trawick
8.
[Star Magazine] Which young singer-actress is known around town for being the worst tipper? When she gets manicures, she’ll tip the nail technicians just $1 on a $30 bill, and massage therapists are lucky to get a few bucks – far from the customary 20 percent gratuity.
Her megafamous younger boyfriend, however, is known to be a very generous tipper – and when they go places together, he’ll usually make up for her stingy ways.
Popular guess: Selena Gomez and younger boyfriend Justin Bieber.
9.
[Blind Gossip] This actor is over the age of 30 and has been starring in films for many years. Although he has become more in demand over the past year, we were really surprised to discover that this big, athletic guy he has recently been traveling with FOUR bodyguards. Even Katie Holmes – who is a female needing protection from Scientologists and paparazzi – only has two bodyguards!
So why does our actor need four bodyguards? Is he scoring a role that requires him to understand personal protection? No. Is he genuinely afraid that someone will hurt him? No. The bodyguards aren’t there to protect his body. They are there to protect his ego. He thinks that having more bodyguards makes him look more important.
Popular guess: Channing Tatum? Mark Wahlberg?
10.
[Celebzter] Which high-profile couple’s relationship is on the verge of imploding because one of the partners can’t tame their wild ways?
The excuse that you’re young and dumb and make stupid mistakes is fine initially, but when you are still brazenly partaking in some rather seedy endeavors, the question becomes, how much more can the other person take?
Her worst fears are starting to ring true, and as one person close to the male in the relationship says, “everyone knows he’s gay”.
Can a person who likes the same sex really do a complete U-turn?
Expect an announcement of a split soon….
Popular guess: John Travolta and Kelly Preston?

Someone please cue the Bob Saget gif...
I work in a bar and i dont expect a tip if im a bitch.
like... how does that make sense?
I tip 15% for average to good service and 20% for great (normal in the uk where servers get min wage, I know you USers tip more)
eta, not having a go at you, just disbelief at the meanness of some employers!
Edited at 2012-08-04 06:24 pm (UTC)
how is this possible, to legally have a job and be paid less than min. wage? idgi.
but srsly, tip
Srsly tho tipping is oblig due to the really low wages service staff get, even in the UK where it's only about 10-20 depending.
the average minimum wage in the USA for servers is 3.15/hour. without tips, they aren't making shit, regardless of how good they are. it's pretty difficult to live on like, $5o a week after taxes.
To me, I guess I just feel like it's a nice thing to do and that I'm putting something good out in the universe and hopefully I will somehow get a little compassion or kindness back in some way.
however, i work with some girls who are AWFUL, not friendly, stupid and i don't expect them to make 20% tips. 10% for bad service, 12-15% for below average service etc.
you should always leave something though. you're not just paying for food, you're paying for the service and these people are making as low as $2.33/hr.

I tip really high for good service, but I'll tip cents if the service is bad.
ETA: I know not every restaurant is like this but I worked at a fine dining restaurant for several years that refused to pay any of its kitchen staff more than a dollar or two more than minimum wage, and they all had years of experience and came from top-notch culinary schools. Because it was a prestigious restaurant, they could get away with it because they had no shortage of people that wanted to put the restaurant's name on their resume. But, it's definitely not fair that the FOH was making 50,000-100,000K/year (conservatively) while these guys were basically living below the poverty line and could barely afford their rent on shitty basement apartments.

I've lived in countries where tipping is not mandatory (Europe/UK, Japan & Korea) and it was SWEET, because I tipped anyway for good service.
In a lot of these debates though, surprisingly, I've seen that a lot of people who are against making a minimum wage mandatory for servers are servers themselves...probably because on a good night or if they're competent at their job (or lucky) they can make WAY more than minimum. idk.
The rest are relatively vague... but I have no problems with the most likely choices

I've only read one report on it and that was years ago, so I'm not sure how accurate that was. :/
I went to see the new production of the Phantom two nights ago, with John Owen Jones in the lead, and it was perfection. Third time seeing it and I have never been disappointed.
/sorry, I got a bit excited!
Then again I can't tell if hes super smug and self-important or if he is too laid back to want a bunch of dudes following him everywhere lol
He now wants to be gov... come on tony you ran LA so well, let us reward you with the state budget as well
Edited at 2012-08-04 05:32 pm (UTC)
