We have not talked about the story of Manti Te'o – it is so bizarre…

 Notre Dame's linebacker Manti Te'o  found out his “Internet girlfriend” never existed.  He said he dated her for a year before she died suddenly of leukemia.  But the whole time someone was playing a hoax on him – some say he was in on it because it would make him more famous….

He sits down with Katie Couric today on her show:   

Here's Manti on how it felt to lead Notre Dame this year, being known as the guy whose girlfriend died.  (--People want to know if he was in on the hoax, because it helped him become a star.  He came in second in the Heisman Trophy voting, and the NFL is about to make him rich.  But he says that during the season he only cared about inspiring people . . . and the emotions for Lennay were all real.) 

 

 

Angelina Jolie admitted that “my boys love to eat crickets. It’s their favorite thing. They ate them like Doritos during their visits to Cambodia, where Maddox was born.

“I had to actually ban the cricket eating at some point, because I was afraid they were gonna get sick from too many,” said Angelina. “But they’re good – they are like potato chips.”

AMC announced yesterday that Mad Men’s sixth season will return Sunday, April 7th with a two-hour film.  “The season is about Don, and I made a commitment to tell a full story, no matter what the consequences are,” said show creator Matthew Weiner, explaining that the premiere, “is its own story and hopefully it foreshadows the rest of the season. You should know what happened at the end of last season before you see the episode. The whole season is in reference to last season.”

 

 

Turns out Barry Manilow is a big Lady Gaga fan, if you can believe it.  He says he'd collaborate with her for sure if he got the chance.  (--He says she's a real musician and a real singer.  And she was obviously raised by a good family, because she always gives people good advice.)  

 

Kelly Osbourne is secretly engaged, according to Us Weekly. The magazine reports that Kelly’s boyfriend, vegan chef Matthew Mosshart, popped the question shortly before Christmas.  A source tells the mag the Fashion Police star is “really excited” about planning her wedding. 

 

A new study by a self-tanning lotion called St. Tropez has figured out EXACTLY when women look their oldest:  It's at 3:30 on Wednesday afternoon.  Here's why:     

#1.)  46% of women drink over the weekend, and your body needs to break down all the toxins and sugars you take in . . . which puts a strain on your body.  Only, the effects of that strain can take up to 72 hours to show up on your face.

#2.)  37% of women say that they don't get a good night's sleep on Monday.  And that takes 48 hours to show up on their face. 

 #3.)  Monday is ALSO the day women are most likely to forget to use their skin-care products.  

  #4.)  Finally, one in eight women say Wednesday is the most stressful day of the week.  So one in five work through lunch, and get an unhealthy snack early in the afternoon.

--And EVERYTHING catches up to you at about 3:30 on Wednesday afternoon.  Sorry ladies.
