If you’re looking for motivation and inspiration, pick up this month’s “Shape” magazine. Jordin Sparks is flaunting her bikini body, showing off a 50-pound weight loss.

Ray-J is having a little fun at his ex-girlfriend’s expense. Kim Kardashian tweeted, “Keep your life in a positive perspective. We are not defined by our pasts.” Ray-J saw the humor in that, so he retweeted Kim and attached an “LOL.” Remember back in the day, it was Kim and Ray-J’s home video that introduced Kim to the world.

He didn’t mean “Laugh Out Loud,” he meant “his “LOL” meant “Lots of Love.” Yeah. Whatever, Ray-J.
This has become a sport, but people have been stealing life-sized David Hasselhoff cardboard cutouts from a convenience store chain across the New England states.

The Hoff sees the humor in the situation. He’s not asking them to stop stealing his signs, but he IS asking them all to at least buy an iced coffee.
