Sexy Pictures of Famous People
1. Celebrities have the same annoying habits as the rest of us. Here's a gallery of JAKE GYLLENHAAL chewing on headphone cords.
2. MEL BROOKS has the coolest set of handprints in front of Hollywood's Chinese Theatre. Because when he went to press them for posterity, he wore a fake digit on his left hand, so that he would leave ELEVEN FINGERPRINTS in the cement.
3. ASHLEE SIMPSON isn't really anyone's favorite celebrity, but respect for the side-boob.
4. So MIKE TYSON met ROB FORD yesterday. Tyson was in Toronto to do his one-man show . . . and he called Ford, quote, "The best mayor in Toronto's history." To be fair, he's been punched in the head a lot.
5. It should come as no surprise that JENNIFER LOPEZ can still make a little black dress work.
6. MARILYN MANSON Tweeted a picture of himself and COURTNEY LOVE at a premiere event for the new season of "Sons of Anarchy", along with the very strange caption, "This is what prison rape looks like in my nightmares."
7. A peek at ZAC EFRON'S abs is never unwelcome.

The Monsters Who "Pranked" an Autistic Kid By Dumping a Bucket of Excrement on Him Have Been Identified
The police say they've identified the monsters who dumped an "ice bucket" full of urine, feces and spit on an autistic teenager . . . but they haven't been charged yet. DREW CAREY, JENNY MCCARTHY and DONNIE WAHLBERG had pledged $10,000 each as a reward for anyone who could help ID them.
Police say they've figured out who the culprits are. They haven't released any names . . . or said what potential charges may be on the way. But the police chief says there will "certainly" be charges, presumably beginning with assault.
It's unclear if anyone is in line for the $30,000 reward, or if the cops were able to track these idiots down on their own.
If the reward isn't needed, Drew has said he'll donate his $10,000 to the Autism Speaks organization, and we assume Jenny and Donnie would do the same. Jenny's 12-year-old son Evan is autistic.
