All you celebs out there that bum us out whenever we see you guys smoking: if Simon Cowell can quit, you can too!

Seriously, if there was one person we thought was too stubborn to quit smoking, we would have guessed Simon! On the flip side, he's so worried about his health and body that it'd be crazy for him to continue!

And guess what?

We remember a time when Arnold Schwarzenegger was all about his body.

Dude had the biggest muscles on the planet, and they looked GOOD!

But Arnie seems to not care about his body or his health these days - if he did, he wouldn't be smoking no cigar!!!

Which is exactly what he was spotted doing in Beverly Hills yesterday.

If he seriously wants to keep his new girl around, he'll drop the disgusting habit.

No one likes stinky smoke breath!!

Check out more pictures of Arnie doing the nasty down (below) !!!

What a sad end to his life.

Former Penn State University coach Joe Paterno died Sunday morning just two months after being diagnosed with lung cancer.

As we all know by now, after 46 years of coaching at Penn State, Joe was fired last November following the sexual abuse scandal involving his former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky.

His family released the following statement:

If he wouldn't have been fired, it looks like health reasons would have forced Joe Paterno to retire this year.

The sick former Penn State football coach has been admitted into the hospital again. His family hopes the stay is brief, but Paterno was hospitalized for minor complications from his ongoing lung cancer treatments just a month after fracturing his pelvis.

Things aren't all bad for the all-time winningest football coach in NCAA Division I history. PSU officials revealed on Thursday that Paterno is still getting paid despite being relieved of his coaching duties last fall after the Jerry Sandusky sex scandal broke.

A statement from Chairman Steve Garban and Vice Chairman John Surma read:

"Coach Paterno remains employed by the university as a tenured faculty member. The details of his retirement are being worked out and will be made public when they are finalized. Generally speaking, the university intends to honor the terms of his employment contract and is treating him financially as if he had retired at the end of the 2011 football season."

We hope this guy's health starts to turn around soon and he's able to beat this cancer! Feel better soon, Joe!

We're a little disappointed to hear this news, but then again, she never expressed any interest in quitting in the first place.

Adele, who is recovering from microsurgery to remove a benign polyp from her vocal cords, has been spotted smoking again!

An eyewitness saw the singing sensation lighting up after dinner with her new beau, Simon Konecki, and told sources:

"Adele and Simon had dinner at Bobby Rubino's in Pompano Beach, Fla., on Jan. 1. Right after they were done, she walked out of the place and had a cigarette outside."

After getting back to the UK, Adele was also spotted smoking in a car, which doctors do not advise after surgery, explaining:

"It reduces the body's ability to heal and causes irritation. The risk of infection is enhanced. Smoking is a deterrent. Especially for women, it lowers their voices and makes it rougher."

That's not good! Adele, however, doesn't seem to care about the advice and candidly commented on smoking by saying:

"I gave up smoking for two months. It was f—ing grim. I had laryngitis about a week before the album came out and it was so frightening. I stopped smoking, drinking, eating or drinking citrus, spicy foods and caffeine. It was so f—ing boring…. My voice was better when I wasn't smokingWithin a week I noticed it had changed, but I'd rather my voice be a bit s–t so I can have a f—ing laugh."

We hope Adele never faces the dangerous side effects of smoking, but we do worry about the health of any smoker we love. Please consider quitting smoking for both your future and your fans, gurl!

Occasional stoners rejoice!

A 20-year study has revealed that smoking marijuana once or twice a week doesn't hurt the lungs.

Smoking once or twice a day, however, is a different story.

Although there weren't enough heavy users among the 5,000 young adults involved to draw firm conclusions, this large-scale study determined using marijuana that often might cause a decline in lung function.

Similar studies into marijuana use have yet to find a link between smoking the drug and lung cancer.

The effects of pot seem to be much less dangerous than tobacco, but researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham recommended "caution and moderation when marijuana use is considered."

We'd like to echo that sentiment. It's still an illegal drug and can still impair your judgement. Smoke at your own risk!
