Just browse through your e-mail messages or advertisements on Facebook and you’ll get the gist of the claims: “Lose weight with Oprah’s favorite  diet secret!” “Eat the berry that Dr. Oz calls the ‘No. 1’ superfood!” But a Texas A&M food chemistry professor and other sources claim this appeal is merely “Skin Deep.” NYTimes.com

Twilight hottie, Robert Pattinson is on the cover of the April issue of GQ Magazine that debuts next week. The 22-year-old is featured in the ‘What’s Hot in 2009′ section of the mag. When asked how he landed his role as sexy vampire Edward he said: “I took half a Valium and then went into this thing — and all this stuff happened.” It was the first time I’ve ever taken Valium.  A quarter. A quarter of a Valium. I tried to do it for another audition, and it just completely backfired — I was passing out.”  This sexy photo shoot will turn any woman (or man’s) head but alas, this single man is not looking for a special woman right now.
