This is CRAY!

Tom Hiddleston is one of the many celebrities who took part or are taking part in the Live Below The Line poverty challenge, and while the British actor just completed his challenge last month, which had him living on a $1.50 a day, he's now sharing his experience.

Taking into mind that Hiddleston is openly addicted to caffeine, he admitted in British Harper's Bazaar that he had withdrawals.

The 32-year-old star said:

And we're so glad he did not follow through!

In his revealing Rolling Stone interview, George Clooney proved that all the money and success in the world sometimes isn't enough to keep suicidal thoughts at bay.

The actor was left in extreme pain after suffering a spinal injury when a stunt went wrong while filming Syrianna in 2005. Severe headaches and spinal fluid leaks through his nose were so unbearable that he couldn't help but consider ending it all, explaining:

"I was at a point where I thought, 'I can't exist like this. I can't actually live.' I was lying in a hospital bed with an IV in my arm, unable to move, having these headaches where it feels like you're having a stroke, and for a short three-week period, I started to think, 'I may have to do something drastic about this'…but I never thought I'd get there."

Thankfully, he never did "get there" and has since undergone surgery to help him with the spinal problems.

We love ya Georgie, so don't ever leave us! You have MUCH more to contribute to the entertainment industry!

Headaches stink, but are there any other treatment options beyond pill popping your closest pain reliever?

FitPerez reader P.N. from Portland, Oregon has been a long-time sufferer of chronic migraines and wrote to certified nutritional therapy practitioner, Margaux J. Rathbun, for a few natural remedies, asking:

Hi Margaux!

I have been a long-time sufferer of migraine headaches. They are so bad that I literally cannot get out of bed! Do you have any tips that could naturally help relieve or prevent these nasty headaches?

According to Margaux:

Thanks for your question! Prior to becoming a Nutritional Therapist, I used to get migraines all the time. I know how horrible they can be! Many things can trigger a migraine including allergies, constipation, stress, too much or too little sleep, and emotional changes. Here are some tips that should help you with these nasty headaches:

- Adding coconut oil to your daily diet can not only help prevent headaches but it has been shown to improve brain performance. Try a spoonful of this oil first thing in the morning.

- Acupuncture and acupressure have helped many people control the pain of a migraine. Consult with your local natural health practitioner for more information.

For more nutrition tips, check out Margaux's website and write Tips@FitPerez.com with any questions for her!

This is absolutely terrifying! Beware of stagnant water in the heat!

A rare waterborne parasite known as the "brain-eating amoeba" killed a 9-year-old boy in Virginia earlier this month and most recently, took the life of a 16-year-old girl in Florida this week.

The parasite causes amoebic meningoencephalitis, an infection that attacks the brain and spine, and can be found in stagnant freshwater during hot weather. Symptoms of the scary infection include headaches, vomiting, and neck stiffness.

Although so incredibly rare that some years pass without any incidents, experts suggest using nose clips when swimming in freshwater to reduce the risk of infection.

This definitely makes us think twice about hopping in any lakes for the rest of the summer!
