Is Tila Tequila really engaged? The reality star, recently making headlines claiming she was a victim of domestic abuse, is now saying she is getting married to Casey Johnson, heiress to Johnson & Johnson Company. The 27 year old said this, “This is exclusive and going to be all over the news tomorrow, but because I love you guys so much, we are giving you the exclusive first — Tila army fans — tonight, my girlfriend has asked me to marry her!” About her ring she says is a “17-carat diamond ring from my baby. It’s so fat you can’t even see it! So yeah, my baby got me this 17-carat ring. My baby takes care of me. Beat that J.Lo! Beat that Khloe and Lamar! Casey Johnson and Miss Tila Tequila are officially engaged. Woo!” Usmagazine also reports that Tila said the ring is “not fake, because my baby is a f****** baller. She’s a billionaire! She’s the heiress of Johnson and Johnson. Anyway, we are going to make love tonight for our honeymoon.” The bizarre, rambling video posted to USTREAM showed Tila wearing black lingerie, and making out with Johnson as the video ended.

We all know that eating breakfast gives you fuel to get you through the day, but what does lunch do for you? More than you may think. Marisa Moore, R.D., a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association says, “What you eat can determine how much energy you’ll have for the rest of the day and whether you’ll overdo it at dinner.” Some suggestions were posted to Shape.com for different sceneries that you may come across.
If you hit up the gym instead of eating lunch. Sometimes I take a Pilates class during my lunch hour, or (when the weather was nicer!) take a walk outside of my office. But you should never skip lunch! Instead, try to have a healthy snack (about 100-150 calories) an hour before your workout. Afterwards, try to get some protein to refuel your system, such as a salad with a lean meat. And drink lots of water to stay hydrated!
You don’t have time for a full meal. If you can’t sit down and eat a real meal, it is okay to snack throughout the day- making sure you are keeping it healthy (snacking on Oreo’s doesn’t count!) Some good ideas: low calorie snack packs, applesauce, and raisins.

Actor John Stamos is confirming he was a victim to an attempted extortion plot. The Full House star says he was blackmailed for $680,000 by a man and women threatening to sell tabloid photos that were simply of Stamos posing with fans.

The FBI then raided the home of Allison Coss, 23, and Scott Sippola, 30, of Marquette, Michigan, and found three photos of Stamos, a piece of paper with Stamos’s personal cell phone number on it, and a list of three tabloid magazines with contact numbers for each. Matt Polk, a rep for the actor, gave this statement, “John Stamos was the target of an extortion attempt. The U.S. Attorney and the FBI handled the investigation swiftly and with great expertise. The photos in question are photos of John posing with fans. At the conclusion of the investigation and hearing, the photos will be available and the public will be able to see that the photos are simply John posing with fans.”

Even better, when the 17 year old performed, she was barely clothed in tiny leather hotpants and a crop top. She also has recently sported a tattoo under her left breast that reads “just breathe.”
