It's great to know that even NBA stars are as bad at karaoke as everyone else!!

One lucky karaoke fan got a HUGE surprise when she was pulled onto stage while LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were singing karaoke!

They ended up serenading the woman and eventually fighting over her!

A survey of more than 200 registered dietitians, conducted by Pollock Communications, a health and wellness communications firm based in New York City, revealed five top diet and lifestyle trends that will “make news and be on consumers’ minds” in 2013.

Trend 1: Natural and simple meals with few ingredients are in. Low-fat and low-carb are out.

The focus is whole foods, fewer preservatives and processed foods. Although some low fat and low carb products are fine, read the label, as they may contain excessive sugar, salt and fat.

Trend 2: To lose weight or adapt a healthier lifestyle, more consumers will look to the wheat belly/gluten free approach, as well as commercial diet programs.

A Gluten free diet can really benefit those with specific medical conditions, such as celiac disease. Some choose to adapt the diet without a specific medical condition. The gluten-free approach doesn’t really benefit the general population. If anything a gluten free diet may be too limited and restrictive and the person without allergies will get frustrated. The gluten free diet is designed for individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.

Regarding commercial diet programs, I encourage people to do what it takes for them to be successful with weight loss and health goals. Commercial programs provide education, accountability and support from others going through the same thing. Individuals motivate one another and since you pay for the program you are more likely to show up and follow it.

The Foundation for AIDS Research doesn't just honor anybody, they honor those who truly deserve it through their amazing support and work for the cause.

And that's exactly why Janet Jackson is being honored on February 6th:

Congratulations to Janet, who will be honored on February 6, at @amfar's New York Gala. For more info see amfar.org -Janet's Team

She isn't the only celeb being honored, either!

According to amFAR's report on the upcoming gala, we're going to be seeing Kenneth Cole AND Heidi Klum honored as well! The whole thing is a black-tie gala benefit to honor individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the fight against AIDS — and will be held on the eve of New York Fashion Week!

If you'd like to go, or to show your support, you can head on over to amFAR's website HERE.

Such an amazing cause… and congrats to everyone being honored!

Color us shocked!

Considering he can get a date with any Victoria’s Secret model he wants, we’re a bit surprised Leonardo DiCaprio is having to pay anything for a date with anyone.

However, it looks like his $200K was all for a good cause.

Leo spent the money during an auction at the 2013 Sean Penn and Friends Help Haiti Home Gala to benefit Sean Penn's J/P Haiti Relief Organization, and in return, he will get to spend the day out with Bill Clinton.

But they won’t be alone!

Yup, a threesome with Leo and Bill!

The actor's previous bid of $100K was outbid at one point, so he decided to join up with the rival bidder and go halfsies to make the donation that much better while still reaping the rewards.

The total spent on a date with Bill: $400,000!

Boy, we sure hope Bill takes them to dinner and a movie!

You mean the Silver Fox isn't perfect?!

Anderson Cooper revealed his potty mouth last night at Sean Penn's second annual Help Haiti Home benefit at the Montage hotel in Beverly Hills.

The esteemed CNN anchor cussed at the podium to make a more passionate case for donations to the J/P Haitian Relief Organization.

Anderson even said:

Chicago's bank account is looking pretty nice after only 5 months!

In early August, they passed new ticketing laws for low-level possession of marijuana. We guess we should be happy that these folks aren't being arrested, but at what point do you realize that taxing legal weed would bring in way more money than punishing people?

They've issued about 400 citations and have given themselves about $98,000 dollars from citizens in the process. The idea behind it is that

Chris Kluwe, who we've talked about around these parts before, seemingly is constantly defending his stance in favor of gay rights. He supports it, because he KNOWS there are gay players out there, and that they would benefit from a better environment!

He was even on the Colbert Report, when this happened:

SC: “Football players are a thousand miles from gay.”

Kluwe responed: “Um, you’d be surprised.”

And guess what? He isn't the only one who knows that.
