Bruno Mars & Red Hot Chili Peppers Won't Freeze their Tukus' Off at Super Bowl Half-Time Show Afterall

The combo of Bruno Mars and Red Hot Chili Peppers should heat things up even more than the expected 40 degree temperatures this Sunday. The diehard Super Bowl fans who are braving the weather just got lucky as it's been the coldest winter EVER since I moved here circa Y2K. Partially why I moved here is because you could just wear a sexy little leather jacket and a cute scarf and be done with it. This year, bring out the Canadian Goose! Also, in other news, the Bolo Tie is finally back! I won't say how long I have been waiting for this. Let's just say we still had answering machines. I've said too much.

HBD Justin Timberlake!

HBD Oprah!

On Oprah's 60th birthday, It's all coming back to me now of my Oprah encounters back in the day. One time I waited on her table after she finished working out with her trainer. It took me forever to gain my composure once I saw her sit in my station. I desperately tried to give the table to another waitron, but they wanted to see me squirm. After making her wait, I finally mustered up the courage to approach and asked "May I take your order." Oprah replied in her Oprah voice, "I'll have a cinnamon raisin bagel." I unconsciously blurted out, "Is that all?" like I expected her to order a ton of food. With a raised eyebrow, she turned to her trainer then looked at me an said, "and a cup of coffee?" I scurried off and got Oprah her bagel and cup of coffee thinking the whole time I blew it and would be fired for basically calling her fat. The check was $1.50 and she gave me a 100% tip. A class act! HBD Lady!

Robert Pattinson Moisturizes

'I was a brush-your-teeth-and-have-a-shower kind of guy,' he tells WSJ in a new interview. 'I can't tell if it's because of my association with Dior or because I'm older, but I've started moisturising.'
