Why Did Justin Bieber Serenade His Grandmother Naked?

George Lucas and His New Wife Have a New Baby 

GEORGE LUCAS doesn't just have a new wife . . . he also has a new baby.  George and Mellody Hobson welcomed a daughter this past Friday.  She was born via surrogate . . . which is not surprising since George is 69 and Mellody is 44.

This is George's fourth child.  He has three adult daughters with his ex-wife Marcia.  All three of them are adopted, by the way.  So the new baby is George's first biological child . . . but he still has yet to conceive one the old-fashioned way.

Jennifer Lawrence Always Knew She Was Going to Be Famous 

JENNIFER LAWRENCE says she always knew she'd be famous . . . quote, "I used to lie in bed and wonder, 'Am I going to be a local TV person?  Am I going to be a motivational speaker?'  It wasn't a vision.  But as it's kind of happening, you have this buried understanding:  Of course."  She adds that she's "not okay" with her fame these days . . . quote, "I'm just really starting to feel like a monkey in a zoo."

Victoria Beckham Told "Vogue" Her Family Is Normal . . . Then Took a Helicopter to Her Son's Parent-Teacher Meeting

As soon as she was done with "Vogue", she left for parent-teacher night for one of her kids.  In a HELICOPTER.  (???)

Ben Affleck Met With Lindsay Lohan . . . But Not to Offer Her a Movie Role 

BEN AFFLECK met secretly with LINDSAY LOHAN while she was in rehab, but it wasn't to offer her a movie role, as some sites are reporting.  Ben went to rehab himself back in 2001, so he was basically just there to offer her support and advice.  Meanwhile, sources say Lindsay came out of rehab TOTALLY clean, which means she's not even taking Adderall anymore.

Nine Tricks For Waking Up Without Coffee

Here are a few tricks you can use to wake up WITHOUT caffeine.  Try immediately drinking water or eating an apple . . . putting your alarm clock on the other side of the room . . . or doing just four or five minutes of exercise.

1.  Immediately drink a glass of water.

 

2.  Put your feet on the ground as soon as you hear the alarm.

 

3.  Immediately get into the shower . . . especially a cold shower.

 

4.  Put the alarm clock on the other side of the room, so you have to get up to turn it off.

 

5.  Don't do anything else in bed other than sleep or have sex.  If you get used to eating, watching TV, or reading in bed, your brain associates your bed with something other than sleep.  And that'll make it harder to get up in the morning.

 

6.  Plan your breakfast the night before . . . and make sure it's something you like.  When you wake up, you'll be hungry and happy about eating.

 

7.  Eat an apple.  It can work better than caffeine.  We're not sure why, but trust us . . . try it and you'll see.

 

8.  Do four or five minutes of basic exercise . . . like stretching and jumping.

 

9.  Change the song or sound from your alarm clock regularly so you never get used to it.  (Reddit)

Dog Owners Are More Likely to Have Sex on the First Date

According to a new survey, dog owners are more likely to have sex on the first date, and more likely to date a friend.  Cat owners spend less money on dates, and are more aloof.  And people who don't own pets are supposedly least likely to believe in SOULMATES or true love.

The Six Little Decisions That Helped Rich People Get Rich

Here are a few little decisions rich people once made that helped them get rich.  Never forget your long-term goals . . . don't trade up to a bigger house and overextend yourself . . . don't burn bridges . . . negotiate to get the highest starting salary possible . . . and network with successful people.

1.  Keep an eye on the long-term goal.  People have a tendency to get trapped in jobs just trying to pay the bills, and stop working toward their ultimate goal.

 

2.  Stay in a smaller home instead of trading up when you make more money.  Rather than tie up all your money and overextend yourself for a house, you can use the money for better investments.

 

3.  Don't burn a bridge by telling off an employer on the way out of a job.  When you're in an industry long enough, you cross paths with everyone again.

 

4.  Smart salary negotiation.  Since most raises are based on a percentage of your salary, make sure you get your starting salary as high as possible.

 

5.  Smart networking.  Meet successful people, listen to what they have to say, and stay in touch so they think of you when they have an opportunity.

 

6.  Be smart . . . but not too smart.  It's good to be the smartest person in the room, but the person who also praises other people's ideas and listens to what they have to say can last a lot longer.  (Reddit)

10 Year Flashback:  Are These the 50 Worst Artists In Music History? . . . and Flash-Forward to Today's Perspective on the Worst Musicians Out There

 

 

Our Flashback section features a story we were talking about on The Complete Sheet 10 years ago to this day.  We've also added some modern perspective to give these stories some context today.

 

 

Flashback to 2003:  Are These the 50 Worst Artists In Music History?

 

 

"Blender" magazine has decided to enlighten us all with a list of the 50 WORST ARTISTS IN MUSIC HISTORY.  Now, the entire list isn't out yet, but I can tell you that the top spot on the list goes to the INSANE CLOWN POSSE.  That's probably a wise choice, as are those of Kenny G, Michael Bolton and Vanilla Ice to help round out the Top 10. 

But it might surprise you to know the DOORS are 37th . . . MICK JAGGER comes in 13th for his solo career . . . and CELINE DION is 26th.

 

 

Today's Perspective . . . Who Would Make Today's List of the Worst Artists In History?

 

 

We've seen some pretty bad music in the past decade . . . and some pretty HATED acts.

 

 

I feel like this list today would definitely include Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Rebecca Black, Kesha, One Direction, Miley Cyrus, the Black Eyed Peas, LMFAO, and, of course, Nickelback.

 

 

But . . . "Blender" magazine couldn't put out the list.  It went under in 2009.

 

 

"GQ" did recently rank the Insane Clown Posse as the worst rappers of all time though.  There are some things we can all agree on.
