Olympic Medals . . . The Russian Hockey Team Was Eliminated, and the U.S. Now Leads Everyone in Overall Medals
The U.S. took the lead in overall medals yesterday. We won the gold in men's giant slalom, plus the silver and bronze in women's bobsled to bring our total to 23 medals. American bobsledder Lauryn Williams also became just the fifth athlete to medal in the summer AND winter games. And the Russian hockey team was eliminated in the playoffs and will NOT win a medal this year.
Medal Standings:
1. The United States with 23 medals . . . with 7 gold, 5 silver, and 11 bronze.
2. Russia with 22 medals
3. The Netherlands with 22 medals
4. Norway with 20 medals
5. Canada with 18 medals
Three Olympic Randoms
1. A Canadian bobsledder named Heather Moyse wanted to take a salt bath after her run . . . but found that none of the bathrooms in Sochi had BATHTUBS.
So she filled up a GARBAGE CAN with hot water and salt, and bathed in it. Then someone took a photo of her, and she put it up on Twitter. (Daily Mail) (Here's the photo.)
2. Wondering which Winter Olympic sport burns the most calories? No? Well, we know anyway. It's . . . hardcore cross-country skiing. If you cross-country race at over eight miles-per-hour, you can burn around 1,600 calories an hour.
Curling burns the fewest calories, although not as few as you think . . . all that sweeping is real work. It burns around 400 calories an hour. (LiveScience) (Check out the calorie burn for all of the winter sports here.)
3. We live in an "everybody gets a trophy" world, so this shouldn't be a surprise . . . but WAY more people and way more different countries leave the Olympics with medals today than they used to.
The 2014 Winter Olympics feature 98 events with a total of 294 medals. Back in 1988 in Calgary, there were only 138 medals. At the first Winter Olympics, in 1924 in Chamonix, France, there were only 16 events with 48 medals. (BusinessWeek)
Correction: Barbara Walters Does Not Own a Vibrator
I feel so cheated. All that talk about BARBARA WALTERS' vibrator was a LIE! Yesterday on "The View", she said, quote, "We were joking. Joking! I don't have a vibrator! I don't even put my cell phone on vibrate!
"Can I say it again? I do not have a vibrator!" (Here's video.)
Kim Kardashian Doesn't Want to Be Butt-Shamed Anymore
These days there's more speculation, gossip and criticism of KIM KARDASHIAN'S butt than ever. Mainly because it's reached HISTORIC proportions.
The tabloids can't seem to decide if Kim is PURPOSELY pumping it up with fat injections, or if she's just FAILING to control its expansion since giving birth. Either way, they can't stop talking about it.
And Kim wishes they would. She says, quote, "Making fun of me pregnant & making fun of me trying to lose weight now shame on you. I'm not perfect but I will never conform to your skinny standards sorry! Not me."
(Read her full message here.)
Sexy Pictures of Famous People
1. (NC-17) There's a naked selfie making the rounds that people claim is EMMA STONE. It does look like her, but it's probably not. (WARNING!!! Nudity ahead.)
2. Olympic skater ASHLEY WAGNER pulled another face. It's not nearly as exaggerated as her first one, but still . . . she might want to start working on her poker face for 2018.
3. JASON SUDEIKIS and his pregnant fiancée OLIVIA WILDE kissed at an L.A. Clippers game.
4. MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ and CARA DELEVINGNE got into a limo together. Michelle was wearing pants. When they got out, Michelle was wearing her bodyguard's jacket and NO PANTS. Cara then got out of the limo . . . HOLDING THE PANTS.
5. CINDY CRAWFORD didn't wear a bra to a dinner date with a friend. I guess she wanted to be known for her BIG TIPS.
6. HEIDI KLUM wears a bikini in the "Sports Illustrated" swimsuit issue that includes pictures of her first "SI" cover on one of the boobs. Heidi's 40 now.
Are Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato Joining Forces to Go After Miley Cyrus for Hooking Up with Justin Bieber?
"Life & Style" magazine claims SELENA GOMEZ, TAYLOR SWIFT, and DEMI LOVATO have JOINED FORCES to go after MILEY CYRUS for hooking up with JUSTIN BIEBER while he was still dating Selena. Among other things, the girls are supposedly "trash-talking" Miley in Hollywood.
An "insider" says the girls are "freezing" Miley out of "lucrative appearances" . . . whatever that means . . . and they're, quote, "trash-talking" Miley to "everyone in Hollywood."
It's hard to believe that's the best they could come up with . . . since all of them, particularly Taylor, could write a song about what scumbags Miley and Justin are.
Regardless, Miley is concerned. The source adds that she's avoiding the girls . . . and, quote, "She checks in with club owners and event planners to make sure those girls won't be around."
Is Justin Bieber Spending His Way to Bankruptcy?
Word has it JUSTIN BIEBER is BURNING through his money at a crazy rate. "Star" magazine claims he's, quote, "blowing $1 million a month on private jets, shopping sprees and strippers."
Now, Justin is definitely pumping his money back into the economy, but the "Star" is also suggesting that he's GOING BROKE . . . and could be bankrupt within three years. But that's virtually impossible.
It's hard for ANYONE to spend $1 million a month. Plus, he's actually earning MORE than that. According to CelebrityNetWorth.com, Justin has a $160 million fortune . . . and makes somewhere between $50 million and $70 million a year.
Is 21-Year-Old Miley Cyrus Dating 42-Year-Old Jared Leto?
"Us" magazine claims MILEY CYRUS and JARED LETO are "hooking up." For what it's worth, Jared is TWICE Miley's age. He's 42, and she's 21.
But apparently, they've known each other for a while, and have similar interests. A "source" says, quote, "They like to have a good time, they love to talk about art and music . . . and they're both comfortable with nudity!" (???)
As we've heard, the current issue of "Star" magazine is claiming that Jared is hooking up with 30-year-old "12 Years a Slave" star LUPITA NYONG'O. "Star" says they were spotted, quote, "looking loved up" while having dinner together.
Philip Seymour Hoffman's Will Says His Kids Should Be Raised in Manhattan, Chicago or San Francisco
PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN specified in his will that he wanted his son to be raised in either Manhattan, Chicago or San Francisco. And if Manhattan was the boy's home, he wanted him to VISIT Chicago and San Francisco twice a year. Hoffman also had two daughters, but the will was written before they were born. We assume he'd have wanted the same for all three.
The will was written in 2004, and back then his only child was a son named Cooper. But he and his longtime girlfriend Mimi O'Donnell had two other kids after that, so we assume he'd have wanted the same for all of them.
Violent Movie Scenes Set to "The Pina Colada Song" Are Somehow Even Better
Someone is making videos that combine violent, ugly movie scenes with "The Pina Colada Song". They've already done it with scenes from movies like "Silence of the Lambs", "The Departed", "Seven" and even "The Lion King". The results are pretty great.
The other movies that have been Pina Collided so far are "The Lion King", "Lord of the Rings", "Seven", "Saving Private Ryan", "The Hitcher", "The Untouchables", "300" and "Jaws".
The genius who invented this insanity has all the videos on a Tumblr page. Let's hope this keeps going. (WARNING!!! Some of the clips contain foul language.)
Cee Lo Has Quit "The Voice"
The sixth season of "The Voice" premieres on Monday. And for the second time CEE LO GREEN and CHRISTINA AGUILERA are being subbed out for SHAKIRA and USHER.
But this time, Cee Lo is not planning on coming back . . . EVER.
On yesterday's "Ellen", he surprised her by saying, quote, "I'm going to miss 'The Voice'. I'm not coming back at all."
Cee Lo says it's time for him to focus on his own music. Quote: "I don't want to wear out my welcome there . . . but I have so many other things I want to do. I haven't released an album in four years."
He's starting by going to tour together with LIONEL RICHIE. Cee Lo also has a development deal with NBC, and wants to pursue other, "talk show opportunities."
(Here's video. The part about "The Voice" begins at the 2:50 mark.)
