Coffee Confusion, Hollywood Affairs, Samuel L, and Wilmer Parties

1. Infidelity rumors are following in the heels of the splits between Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson, and lesser-known couple Travis Barker and Shannon Moakler. The former can be attributed to notorious butt-licking Owen Wilson and the latter, a "myspace affair wit some guy (dork)," Barker accuses of his wife. (Daily News)

2. Coming out of Brown University School of Medicine is a study showing that coffee drinkers are susceptible to heart attacks, with light coffee drinkers' (up to 1 cup a day) being most at risk. Moderate coffee drinkers (2-3/day) ran a 60% risk of heart attack after drinking one cup, light drinkers' risk increased fourfold with just one cup, while heavy drinkers (3-4/day) weren't really at risk at all. So when it comes to joe, go to one extreme or the other. (Newstarget)

3. However, published yesterday in the NYT is a glowing article on the benefits of drinking coffee: preventing cell damage, diabetes, "cardiovascular risk," and lowering women's "risk of death from all causes." What to believe, what to believe.

4. With 83 movies under his belt, Samuel L. Jackson can be caught in his latest this Friday: Snakes on a Plane. Don't overhype the film though. Jackson says, "We did the best film we could, and it's just snakes on a plane. It's not Snakes on Brokeback Mountain." (Independent)

5. Page Six sighted "Wilmer Valderrama pouring shots of Patron into the mouths of a line of boozed-up bimbos at the bar at Libation." Hm, there was absolutely nothing pleasant to be found in that sentence.
