Good news for everyone out there who's been called a "meathead" or a "doofus" or a "Jersey boy" or a "oxbrain" or a "big dumb galoot" simply because you enjoy lifting weights at the gymnasium: modern research shows that all types of exercise "ward off a host of cognitive impairments and enhances brainpower all life long." Which is good, because everything else designed to prevent you from being fat will, sadly, also make you dumb.

The public relations industry is the sports bra of professions: outwardly flattering, but sweaty, oppressive, and unsexy beneath the surface. This is PR Dummies. The worst of the worst, every week.

This TV celeb reported to work totally hammered. This star is neglecting a failing TV project to try her hand at being successful in film, and this singer just hooked up with his step-sister. Seems he's working under the influence too.

Anthony Shadid, a 2010 Pulitzer Prize winner for his coverage of Iraq for the Washington Post, died of an asthma attack yesterday while reporting in Syria for the New York Times. He was 43 years old.

Joan Rivers has always pushed boundaries and since Andy Cohen's circus-like talk show barely has any to being with, you just knew things were gonna get wild when she stopped by tonight. In this segment, she discusses making jokes about Whitney Houston, Kate Moss and Auschwitz, and also mentions a one night stand with Robert Mitchum. It's pretty crazy. Hilarious, but crazy.
